Banana Blossom Bistro

Went to pick up for lunch tasted good. Interesting flavors, my girlfriend got the veggie sandwich which was amazing. I got the braised pork sandwhich which tasted good, but I do want to try the lemongrass- shrimp sandwich next time.

I actually used Banana Blossom Bistro for catering a lunch event for about 40 people, and it was stellar. The service, the food, the presentation. Everyone at my event was talking about the food for hours afterwards. We got an assortment of banh mi and the cabbage salad. The pork banh mi was INCREDIBLE. Annie was kind and communicative throughout the whole process. I can't recommend them enough!

We got some delicious banh mi from here! I got the vegetarian tofu and shiitake which was soft and flavorful. We also got the braised pork banh mi, which was soft, flavors were nice but wished there was a bit more sweetness to it. Just craving that salty sweet combo! The bread was also a highlight, it tastes super fresh. Overall they were playing great music, the staff did their thing, and our meal was tasty. The employee recommended the shrimp banh mi, which we will try another time!

Stopped in for a quick bite mid-assignment and left with lighter pockets and mixed feelings. $13.50 got me two generously sized shrimp spring rolls and a can of Coke. Whether that’s a fair trade or a culinary con job—I’ll let you decide.

The rolls were assembled fresh before my eyes, stuffed mostly with a very large and enthusiastic tangle of sticky white noodles, a few leaves of fresh lettuce and a confident handful of cilantro. As for the shrimp? Three pale little swimmers in each roll barely making their presence known.

The flavor? Fresh. Clean. Polite. But a bit shy.

Ambiance? Imagine easy jazz played just a touch too confidently in a window-box storefront—more sax than soul.

Fresh spring rolls, but the pho ga was a little bland.

I’m Vietnamese and eat pho all my life…so my comment might be a bit harsh…

I was so excited to try this place since there isn’t too many pho options in this neighborhood. Unfortunately the meat ball pho was meh. I don’t understand why they used a veggie broth for a meat noodle soup. Seems like they are trying to please more people with veggie options, but they are definitely not making an authentic tasting pho.

Pros: very nice staff and the restaurant looked very clean.

This place never misses. Such great comfort food on a sick or rainy day. The employees are also super kind! I’ve been multiple times and I’ll keep coming back.

Love this place! We had been to other nearby places. I love Vietnamese food, but I have to avoid soy. My husband loves pho. He had shrimp pho and said it was the best pho he has had. I had shrimp garden rolls and vermicelli with caramelized pork. They were very helpful. The pork is like carnitas... just delicious. The pho toppings and the salad with the vermicelli are really fresh and varied. Julienned pickled carrots were great. We also had their lime fizzy drink, and we both enjoyed it. Hearty portions. It's a small place with I think four tables, but nice music and plenty of parking on the side of bldg. I wish their forks were more sturdy... I'm not good with chopsticks, and it was a little challenging to navigate the vermicelli with the forks. We will definitely be back, and I'm glad I found a place with great Vietnamese food that I can have.

Our food tasted fresh and the flavors were good. We were surprised that they didn't have the typical beef pho, but were happy with our selections.

The bahn mi were delicious! Both the caramelized pork and the lemongrass shrimp were great. The rolls were good, with plenty of veggies on the sandwich the the shrimp were perfectly tender.

I love the broth, food was really good! I just didn’t like that they had only chicken and shrimp. But I would definitely recommend! Staff was friendly, quiet cute place!

Adorable little place! Had the plain Pho and it was so filling for TWO people. Delicious flavor and totally worth it. We were just stopping through and took it to go, but when we are in the area next we will stop longer and try more. We will be back!
