Love this place. Really good BUN. I wish they were open past 2pm. I know it’s in the business district, but I think OTR people would come for dinner!

Broth worth walking in the rain for, actually the best Pho broth I've tasted in quite a while. The PHO itself was a very generous serving, with plenty of vegetables, basil, chili sauce ( I tossed it all in ). The texture of the noodles was perfect. I also added a Pork Bohn MI to go, which was not made (purposely) until I was ready to go. I forgot to mention it was for lunch the next day (other places will wrap ingredients separately). I arrived maybe 45 minutes before closing to eat in, but I didn't feel rushed. Until the sweeping began, already feeling a bit guilty for being the last patron, I got my remaining bowl of deliciousness to go. Oh, if you're the clumsy type, you do have to walk your full bowl of broth on a tray from the counter to your table. Don't focus on the bowl, just walk and you won't spill one delicious drop. The menu isn't overly complicated, but offers great choices. The lid of my to go container had a pin sized hole in the top ( I was baffled as to why there was broth in bag ). Unfortunately the chicken in the Pho was dry and chewy, especially the bigger pieces.

Good food, but a few misses. The tofu banh mi had nice flavor. The tofu tasted like it had five spice powder on it, which I enjoyed. The vegetables were crisp and had a nice zing of vinegar. The construction of the sandwich could have been much better though. Both ends were just bread, and the vegetables and tofu were stacked on top of each other, so when you eat the sandwich you have to choose between a bite that's all veg or all tofu. As others have mentioned, the vegetables are sliced fairly coarsely, so these are very contrasting bites of soft tofu or crunchy vegetable sticks. (Also, the roll is not crisp like a baguette, but does taste good and holds together well.) The tofu spring rolls (the fresh kind, not fried) had good flavor, but also weren't consistent from bite to bite. The bites with mint were nice and flavorful, but that was about 50% of the roll. The other parts had no mint and were markedly less enjoyable. Judicious distribution of the herbs would bring these from 6/10 to 9/10. The dipping sauce is tasty, but it does lean towards sweet over umami. The iced tea is also good, but also a bit sweet. Less sugar and/or a darker roast would add some nice bitterness. One star is lost for the misses in food. Despite there being a few misses, they are all easy to fix and all the pieces are there for the food to improve. The other star lost is because this store's primary product is plastic. Plastic bags, plastic cups, plastic straws, styrofoam containers, styrofoam cups. It feels like they'd have plastic napkins if they could. Please stop defaulting to packaging that will outlive your great grandkids. Even if the food was perfect, I would not be comfortable ordering here again if this much disrespect for the only planet known to shelter humans is still shown.

This place was on my list of places to try for a while and finally had the chance today. It was pretty crowded during their lunch rush but the line for ordering was pretty quick. By 1:30pm they had already ran out of pho so you can imagine how many people enjoy their food. The pho was good overall but the broth was on the sweeter end for my liking. They offer 3 of the fried spring rolls versus the traditional 2 which is a plus but the sauce for spring rolls is a sweet sauce instead of the traditional fish sauce which is a nice twist. There's a few tables and seating inside but it fills up fast with the lunch rush. The prices were reasonable and you get a good amount of food for the price.

The Pork Banh Mi is cheap and full of flavour however it is not authentic. They have americanised the food and it resembles more a meat and salad roll than a traditional Banh Mi. The toll was soft and tasted like it had been made with corn starch, jalapeños were used instead of chills and pickled onion was on it. I was disappointed as they were advertised as fresh baguettes and that is far from what was sold.
Service was good. Food was just Was okay. Carrots are thickly cut. I had the bun. And a bahn mi to go. Bun Was hearty. Tasted was okay. The pork was like sautéed for both the bun and bahn mi. Idk why. But I was expecting the pork to be grilled Sorry but just didn't taste authentic
