Consistently excellent food. I usually get the bowls or rolls but today I got beef pho and it was delicious. Reasonable prices and friendly staff. Been coming here for years and it’s still so good.

Super fresh banh mi with organic tofu! (4/5 Green Stars) I wish I had tried this place earlier! I had the banh mi with organic tofu for lunch and the total cost, including tax and a 20% tip was $10.50! I was ravenous and had some concerns that it may not be enough – or come fast enough! However, the lady who took my order prepped the sandwich in as much time as it took me to take a few photos. Also, there was really a lot of tofu in the sandwich – two thick layers of it – so in the end it was pretty darn filling.
There were several memorable things about the sandwich, which I ate without any distraction even though I would normally read while eating. The bread was at a perfect state of crispiness – like a proper French roll – very light and also lightly toasted. The crunchy veggies – the daikon in particular, added a freshness to it that counterbalanced the umami of soy and tofu. I’ve only had a couple of banh mi sandwiches in my time but this one was not only the best so far but has also set a pretty high bar to measure others against.
I’m giving the Sidewalk Street Food 4/5 Green Stars for social and environmental impact. It’s a woman-owned and run business that offers affordable food in a fairly unaffordable neighborhood. Every dish option – banh mi, salad bowl, pho, and spring rolls all had a tofu option. Some of the other options – chicken and pork – are among the more sustainable choices for meat eaters. However, beef and shrimp are among the worst options Sidewalk loses a star for that. My sandwich was pretty much zero-waste in that it was wrapped in a sheet of paper and delivered in a reusable basket.

Nice place with limited seating but also convenient to-go options. Healthy tasty food such as pho soups and other Vietnamese dishes. I ordered a salad bowl with chicken that comes with tasty peanut sauce this time and it was great as expected.

Serving the best Pho, and Banh Mi In this area sidewalk street food is swinging for the fences, with large portions, fresh ingredients, and a super friendly and delightful staff. Highly recommended.

Fast service, large portions, fresh ingredients. My only reservation is that they didn’t serve flat rice noodles with the Pho but I am picky.

Chicken salad bowl was great. Will come back and try and banh mi and pho.
I’ve been living here for over four years and I just discovered this gem! The salad bowl with tofu is so refreshing on a hot day
One of the best Banh Mi I’ve ever had. I like the pork one the best. Good spring rolls and vermicelli as well.
