Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Excerpts

My boyfriend and I absolutely LOVE banh mi so we've tried around 7 or 8 different banh mi shops around the area. This is, by far, the BEST banh mi shop we've tried. We tried the spring rolls, grilled pork banh mi and the spam and egg banh mi. The spring rolls were so insanely good, the best out of any vietnamese restaurant we've been to. I wasn't even able to get a picture of them because we ate them so quickly. Our sandwiches were absolutely top notch, the bread was fantastic and crisp, grilled pork was seasoned to perfection, spam and egg was ridiculously good, veggies were fresh- everything was so amazing. We were blown away and so surprised that we had never been here before! We will absolutely be returning to try every type of banh mi here.

Came here on a weekday afternoon for lunch. This was our first time here and we enjoyed everything we got! I love that they have lunch specials during the week. I ordered the beef pho which came with 3 choices for a side (egg roll, spring roll or summer roll. I chose the summer roll). My husband ordered the grilled pork banh mi lunch special with a side of pho broth. We also ordered a lychee boba with crystal jelly. We ordered at the counter and was given a number to place on our table. There were plenty of seating to choose from. Our drink was brought out to us first and came out super fast. Our food came out in about 10 minutes. Everything was absolutely delicious! I love vietnamese food and I will definitely be coming back. My pho was the perfect size for lunch and my summer roll was tasty with the peanut dipping sauce.

Came here after seeing good online reviews, but it was disappointing. When we walked in, the cashier was taking a phone order. We waited patiently right in front of her, but she completely ignored us and focused only on the call. It wasn’t until another staff member noticed we had been waiting for quite a while that someone finally offered to take our order. We wanted beef pho, but the beef broth was sold out. We ended up ordering chicken pho, which arrived looking unappetizing. The broth tasted like watered-down MSG with simple boiled chicken and noodles. The egg rolls tasted good tho.
