2 weeks agoThis has to be the first time I’ve ever eaten at a Vietnamese restaurant that doesn’t hand-make all of their food and instead uses store-bought food. I ordered the pork and shrimp spring roll/goi cuon, banh mi (with xa xiu, crispy pork belly, and GM sausage), fatty broth pho (nuoc beo) GM black coffee, and GM egg foam coffee. The goi cuon doesn’t have mint in it, a key ingredient in my opinion, so it lacks that refreshing feeling to it. It instead has caggage, which adds a crunch, but doesn’t do much for the flavor. The peanut sauce tastes ok, but has nothing that makes it overly good or bad. The banh mi tastes nice, as the meat’s flavorful, juicy, and tender, while the bread’s the ideal level of toasted (slightly crunchy). It’s more loosely-packed than what I’m used to. The pho has meat that’s not tender or juicy at all. The meat isn’t tender or still cooking like what you normally expect, but is nearing the tough side. No meatballs. The broth’s absolutely not as fresh or clear as Vietnamese-style is, and seems to have a bit too much sodium or something in it. I didn’t even finish the broth, when I normally do. The noodles, which I suspect are store-bought (more on this in a bit), have little taste and don’t have much uniqueness to them. The condiments they supply, sriracha and hoisin sauce, have too much pepper in them. It adds more to an already heavy broth, if you decide to put it in. The coffee tastes nice, especially the egg foam. The black coffee’s straight-up black coffee, with no sugar, probably not the blend I’d like. Now, I don’t make the claim a restaurant uses store-bought food lightly. There are two reasons why I think this. First, when I walked in and ordered, I noticed a package of the Three Sisters brand of rice paper. I should’ve taken a picture, but thought doing so seemed rude. Actually, you can barely make it out it if you zoom in/look closely at one of my pictures. Second, the pho noodles reminded me of the Simple brand of noodles I often buy when I make Lao/Thai stir-fry noodle dishes. I had the suspicion when I first saw the noodles, and my suspicion grew stronger when I tasted the noodles. In terms of the service, it’s quick, and the workers occasionally check on you, but they’re usually not in front of the restaurant and are in the kitchen, whether it’s busy or not. With that aside, I hope this restaurant does better since they’re still relatively new, as they soft-opened in November 2025, and have potential, especially with some of the items on their menu, like their specials and coffee items, I don’t see just anywhere. They also gave me some free fruit, I think because I visited on Easter, so that’s a nice addition! I also can’t forget to mention how courteous and nice the woman on the phone was when I called days before my visit to confirm if they’d be open on Easter and what their hours would be!

2 months agoOMG I am a pho lover and I have been to VN for pho. Compare to the all pho I have ate in different countries, this is the worst one, where is the lemon and bean sprouts? How the heck can u use this kind of beef for a 17 dollars pho? The second one is the pho in VN, learn how to cook before open a restaurant please

3 months agoThis is a pho and bahn mi restaurant in a town full of pho nam restaurants. The style I think is pho bac, more of the northern style, so milder broth and with different sides (pickled onions and pickled garlic). It was a refreshing change from pho nam and exciting to try. The pork belly bahn mi was delicious! Crispy and rich and light and fresh at the same time. Bread was top notch. The staff said it tasted so much like home 💛

4 months agoService was good but the food was not great. I tried the crispy pork bahn mi. The sandwich was too much bread and not enough ingredients. There were simply not enough vegetables or meat. I felt like every other bite was just bread.

6 months agoI really enjoyed my GM milk coffee, it was just perfect! The crispy pork belly banh mi was my favorite. The bread was wonderfully crispy, and the pork was so flavorful. This is definitely going to be one of my favorite spots!

6 months agoWe went there for their soft launch and I am a fan! If you've never had banh mi, you owe yourself to try it, it's genuinely one of my favorite sandwiches and I'm so happy to have a place serving it nearby now. The sandwich itself wasn't perfect but pretty good. The bread was quite dry and didn't taste fresh, but all of the things in the sandwich were great: The pork was a perfect amount of fatty and cooked well, and the classic banh mi mix of cilantro, jalapeno and pickle is always really enjoyable. On top of that, I love vietnamese coffee and theirs tastes great! The place's atmosphere is a bit drab, so I'd recommend takeout. Banh mi is a very comforting food to eat in your home. Also the people serving were very friendly and helpful. I've definitely had better banh mi, but I'm super happy to have one locally, and hope after the soft launch they get even better. Tldr: Bread's a bit dry and atmosphere is meh, but very solid food. Will come back, but hope for the few issues mentioned to be worked out when they properly launch.
