So fresh, clean, and fulfilling! The food here is great, you can really taste the quality... but it’s definitely on the overpriced side.
The space is a bit small, but the wait times were short (10 minutes), so it wasn’t an issue.
The staff were super lovely, with such happy, welcoming energy that made the whole atmosphere feel really good.
SO DELISH!!!!!!!!!!! They don’t skimp on portions, it’s all fresh fresh, and service is genuine and unbeatable!!! Thank you!!!!

The server was so sweet and attentive and the space is airy and cozy at the same time.
BUT. The food was upsetting. There is no way the hard, dry, overseasoned, gristled chunks of beef are Filet Mignon as listed on the menu. They really had to try to make it so unappetizing. The noodles in the pho were overcooked and breaking apart as soon as it hit the table. The broth was so watery and flavorless, I would have added anything to it for flavor. Even hoisin sauce would have been an improvement, which they didn’t have. There was an up charge for EVERYTHING. $2 for dark meat instead of white meat. +3 for noodles… in a noodle bowl. I don’t know if they are trying to cater to the area but it was bad.
For below average quality, 1 CHICKEN pho and 1 beef vermicelli bowl and tip, our bill was $67.34. It’s a joke.
I’m always rooting for restaurants to succeed and I hope you can turn the food around to match. Better quality not quantity.

This is a nice place! Very small and limited seating. I’d say seats 10 max but tbh we were seated for two at 6pm after I’d say 10 minute wait. The food was good! Not blown away but definitely a solid option. Really nice server and the place was vibrant. Def coming back for lunch. We had the chicken rice bowl and pork belly noodle dish. The pork belly was really good! Highly recommend!!! Oh the portion sizes are really big which is a plus.

If you are wanting an authentic pho experience, here is not where I would recommend. However, this was a great experience with something new! Vibes and service are good, would recommend if you’re looking for a new experience.

Alvin is the embodiment of hospitality. He is so nice, welcoming and attentive, to the point that I felt like I was in his living room. Oh, and the food is good.
The food tasted great, you cannot go wrong with anything on the menu! We tried several of their sandwiches, rice bowls, and rolls, all of which were delicious! What was even more impressive was the customer service, i’d rate the customer service 6 out of 5 stars if i could. We had a wonderful experience and are definitely going to be coming back. The portion sizes are great and I would highly recommend!

Incredible food, fantastic service! Such a cute community spot! Support Bun & Mi
Alvin and Pamela run an outstanding Vietnamese restaurant with excellent service and top notch food!
Absolutely incredible banh mi sandwich. The bread was incredibly fresh, and the tofu and mushroom filling was very flavorful. Can’t recommend highly enough. Also, Alvin (co-owner) is a true class act gentleman. Can’t recommend the experience highly enough.
The food is consistently delicious, the service very personable, and the atmosphere cozy. I’ve never tasted such FRESH vegetables, I think it’s key to why the food is so good, and as a vegan, there are so many amazing options! The owners make it a point to remember repeat customers which makes you feel welcomed as well.
Great food with fresh and tasty ingredients! The owner is amazing giving t recommendations and providing a great service! Thanks!
