The pork Bahn Mi could be one of the most delicious food items this city has to offer. I think about the Bahn Mi from here everyday. It is a life changing experience. An absolute treat. I highly recommend.

Service is very quick. Bowl size for pho is huge. On the meat to noodles ratio, it leans significantly more on the noodles. Overall, everything is tasty and I'm glad this place exists in the neighborhood.

My local neighborhood Vietnamese restaurant run by the same family for over 15 years. The pho is delicious, I would rate it a 3.5 to 4 (out of 5)-with my benchmark being those I’ve enjoyed on the streets in Hanoi.
The sandwiches are deliciously made on the spot.

This is the worst Hai Nam chicken I've ever eaten. It is some left over days old chicken scape put together and serve to customers. The first picture is how it looks when the dish was brought to the table. The second picture is when I removed the top 2 pieces and underneath is all bones. Don't waste your money in this place.

Upon entering Pho Ha Tien, one is immediately enveloped by a symphony of olfactory splendor—the unmistakable perfume of star anise, charred ginger, and long-simmered marrow-infused broth coalesces into something near-spiritual. The ambience, though unpretentious, serves as the perfect stage upon which culinary transcendence is performed. Each bowl of pho is not merely a dish, but a poetic revelation—a sensorial tapestry that awakens dormant memories and ignites the imagination. With each sip of the deeply umami-laden broth, I am transported—not to the streets of Saigon, necessarily, but somewhere ineffably tender and personal. Despite my unmistakable upbringing as a white male from suburban America, this broth whispers to me in a language I didn’t know I knew, recalling long-forgotten afternoons of innocence and warmth, as if my soul had been waiting to remember this flavor all along.
The imperial rolls arrive like minimalist sculptures—clean, delicate, and hiding unexpected complexity beneath translucent rice paper. The sauce, velvety and subtly nuanced, functions as a kind of edible sonnet, perfectly complementing the verdant crunch within. There is a certain ineffable lightness to the entire experience, as though each bite cleanses not just the palate but the spirit. I departed Pho Ha Tien feeling unburdened and luminously restored, as if kissed by the breeze of a midsummer morning. One doesn’t merely dine here; one communes with something essential, something eternal.
If you can only do one thing with the rest of your life, you’d be remiss to not visit pho ha tien

This isn’t authentic Viet food; it’s Chinese attempting to make Viet food. The flavor profiles are wrong or missing and the quality or textures are jacked up. Vietnamese don’t skimp on quality. This place does.

$17 for calcium deposit flavor that last longer than a week no matter how much toothpaste you eat it's hard to believe a culture that's been around nearly 6,000 years never learned to clean their cookware

Love this place. Been going there since about 2006 or so. Whenever I'm in the City we try to make a trip here. Food is good, generous portions, quick and the atmosphere is eclectic. Bathroom best used for emergency use only--not the best.
