I had never tried a bahn mi sandwich before visiting here, but now I'm hooked! I ordered the curry chicken bahn MI and it was very flavorful. The bread is fresh and perfectly crispy. I also really love the pho from this place, highly recommend either dish. They clearly put a lot of care into their dishes. The restaurant is not too crowded, it's a nice quiet place to enjoy a meal. Service is always fast too.

“Scrumptious banh mi.”

Scrumptious banh mi! I got the lemongrass chicken sandwich and it did not disappoint. Multiple seating options inside, but the fumes will get to you. My eyes were burning towards the end of my meal haha.

Fragrant smells hit you the moment enter the building. Came here for banh mi to go. Was not disappointed. Both the grilled beef and BBQ pork was good.

Came for some Banh-Mi and wasn't disappointed I could have show you some pictures but it was so good that the plate was empty in seconds. Maybe next time I'll remember to take some food pictures.

“My phone did not eat first.”

My phone did not eat first! The spring roll with grilled beef was on point. And the bahn mi was served on a toasted baguette. I went with lemon grass chicken for the sandwich and threw on some extra jalepenos. Great service and the food was even better.ill be back for the pho!

“Absolutely delicious.”

Absolutely delicious! I normally only make my own pho and have only eaten pho from a restaurant one time before this place. I can honestly say this restaurants pho topped mine and I will be back for more! It’s a must try go check them out!!!

“Absolutely delicious.”

Absolutely delicious. I got a bang mi with lemongrass chicken and it was amazing! Paired it with the black mushroom soup with noodles. The small size was plentiful. Definitely give this place some love!
