The best pho in Santa Barbara. I go here about once a week and I always order a large beef or chicken pho. I always bring my freinds! Really good Vietnamese coffee too.

lol, if you’re craving authentic Vietnamese food, don’t do it. So disappointing and a waste of money.
I understand that it doesn’t have to be authentic but at least try.
Pho was trash. Banh mi was super salty and nasty
I came here because of the reviews
Only to discover that it’s all crap.
I only gave one star because I can’t give zero
What a fantastic little restaurant in Victoria Court. We thought the Pho was excellent and very rich! We had the pork Bahn mi, it was a full of flavor on a perfect roll.
We really liked the fried beef rolls. Definitely returning for more !

A standard pork banh mi costs $15.99, is small, and comes with shredded lettuce over cilantro. Not a good look. Maybe that’s a way to stand out, but not my preference.

It was nice to have soup on their patio with live music. Victoria Court is a nice area. However, I thought the food quality was standard. The service was a bit strange. The staff were basic in their interactions and forgot to drop off the plate of mint, sprouts, etc. And the sauce caddy was not automatically placed, like they didn't have enough of them for each table. Also, when clearing the table, the staff member was clumbsy and dropped utensils a few times.

AWESOME DATE SPOT, HIDDEN GEM! I love supporting a local business and especially when the food is so delicious. Not sure why anyone would say this isn't "authentic," the owner and chef is Vietnamese. I'm always greeted with a smile, the live music often performing gives just the vibe you want - it's a great experience, and the setting is so charming. I love the Bahn Mi A+++, crave it fortnightly! Prices everywhere in SB are higher than you'd expect, it isn't cheap to run a business here

Got a large beef pho. The broth was tasty and it had a nice flavor. It had all the fixings of a traditional pho dish, however they really skimped on the beef part. I left a bit hungry and for $18 I expected more meat in it. Was also a little disappointed with the service. The young man that served us made it pretty clear he wasn’t interested to be there and tried to rush us out so that he could leave. This was 25 minutes before closing time. He was hasty with his dishes and gave us the wrong order at first. The atmosphere was good but the service detracted from it

Lovely food, minimal frills. Lots of vegetarian options, wonderful location, nice tea list. Will give you basic noodles/broth for kiddos.

No taste of pho at all. Food is not that good. Needed to improve. Never come back again.

The banh mi tasted good. The portion size was very small for the price. $18 for a sandwich that was tiny. I expected more food for the price.

We loved all the food! My group tried the chicken, beef, and veggie pho, Vietnamese coffee, regular and fried spring rolls, and a banh mi. Better to sit outside instead of inside if you’re looking for ambiance.
