This has to be the most saddest Vietnamese cafe/restaurant ever. It’s terrible. The food is so dry, everything is dry. I ended up getting the Grilled pork with rice. And it was literally just cut up ham… Where is the sauce?? It was 85% rice 5% sides and 10% meat. They barely give u meat. You’re better off going somewhere else for authentic Vietnamese food. This was a disappointment.

Oof. I've had a couple of solid Banh Mi's here, so I decided to see what else was available, especially since this place is much cheaper than Banhmigos a couple blocks away, but today I tried the beef ball Pho and a Vietnamese coffee and they were disappointing. The beef balls had a sort of freezer-ish taste which made it hard to ignore imaging a bulk order from costco that was forgotten for a few months. I really tried, but after the third one my stomach refused to continue, which I was highly motivated to overrule since there isn't much more protein in this item. The coffee was sort of similar - I spent the first few sips bargaining with myself that it was drinkable, but ultimately couldn't continue after sip 12, as much as I tried to ignore it. And to be honest, this is at least as impressive an achievement, since I'm chemically addicted to caffeine. Just too sweet, and really stale. I think Banh Mi Place is still probably the best balance between affordable and good in the area over in Prospect Heights, but then again I haven't tried the Pho there either.

Got the Vegetarian Tofu Bahn Mi extra spicy. I asked them to make it vegan. Not sure if it already was/is though. They have a few vegetarian options that could probably be vegan upon request. The sandwich was pretty good and it was definitely spicy! 🤣

One of the most flavorless pho broths my wife and I have ever had. No depth or complexity in the broth and it was served with dry meat (grilled pork + beef). Hate that we spent money on this. Can’t speak to the Banh Mi’s, but 100% avoid the pho here.

Really good pho, and perfect summer rolls. Their peanut sauce is smooth and delicious, I prefer spicy, so I just add sirarcha
Worst pho I’ve ever had. Watered down chicken broth , couldn’t even finish the bowl.

It's a humble shop, but the banhmi's here are absolutely delicious. I stumbled upon this shop randomly a couple months ago and was pleasantly surprised. Went back the other day while I'm the area and bought 2 because I knew what was going down 😂 I'll be back for 2 more.
Small, clean pho and banhmi spot with smoothies, bubble tea and Vietnamese coffee. Excellent vibes, decent portions, great prices, tasty food. Steady stream of pick ups and eat ins while I was there. Will definitely be back
