The food was disappointing. The Brussel sprouts were very greesy but did have good flavor. My friend and I also each had the pho. It was very bland. We both ended up using a lot of hot oil to get some flavor in. The brisket was a bit thicker thank I'd like for pho but it was manageable. I have never had this experience before at the good bowl as it has always been great.

Very good! I would definitely come back to this place. Its hard to find vietnemese restaurants in michigan so I was happy when we found this one. They did not let us down.

Awesome Vietnamese place to stop in a nice part of Traverse City. Very clean, nice place with an easy menu and a lot of apparel and corky things to look at. Their Bahn Mi was awesome. Will defiantly be back next time I'm in the mood for Vietnamese.

Authentic not really. Lots decor that is reminiscent of Vietnam but favor is watered down. What do u expect in Traverse city? We ordered goi cuốn. Peanut sauce was ok. I usually like more herbs and meat. We also got lemon grass pork bánh mì which was a good sandwich but not a banh mi sandwich. French baguette was light and crispy. Pickled carrot weren’t really pickled. Would go back to try other food but with lowered expectations.

The food was a little expensive even with the lunch special. The pho was good but it did have questionable “beef brisket” it almost appears as a meat ball which was cut up. There were also so many fruit flies by our food we had to move spots. Would have rated higher if we didn’t need to swat flies away from our meal and beverages.

Good little spot. Loved the cabbage salad w/ coconut milk & fermented pineapple vinaigrette. Pho was good too, broth could use a bit more flavor. I think mine was missing the fresh lime.
