    Thai Tea
    Yvette M.

    From the reviews, we were looking forward to eating some good Vietnamese food. However, it was pretty disappointing and I'm glad we kept our order small. I had the Spring Rolls with shrimp that were far from fresh. I would suggest a different protein if you're going to order the spring rolls. We also tried the Chicken Bahn Mi. The chicken had a lot of sauce on it. Nothing about the chicken looked grilled. It was more of a stewed chicken placed on bread. The more my husband ate it, the more he disliked it. The Thai Tea was good, but really sweet. Overall, I wouldn't reccomend this spot. Service was good and they do have a large seating area inside.

    The Banh Mi Grill is family run and offers an excellent and varied menu. It is my go to place when I'm craving Vietnamese food. The service is quick and the staff friendly and helpful. The Banh-Mi used to be mainly focused on take out, but have recently expanded and offers a large dining area, with table service. The expansion also allows customers access from the city parking lot on the back side of the building.

    This was a Vietnamese restaurant located in a small strip mall with a limited amount of parking stalls. Inside they had a large sit down section with simple decor and a nice wall mural. when we visited they were filling all to go orders and ultimately we ended up just ordering their Banh Mis. They were a little pricey compared to those we get in NorCal but at least they were stacked with lots of meat. Chicken had a sweet marinade and together with the crunchy vegetables and pate it was very tasty sandwich. The grilled pork Banh Mi was also a good choice. For both, the bread was light and airy. Overall service was good but it took a bit longer to get our banh mis than expected.

    Trang was so friendly and welcoming! We stopped for lunch on a Saturday. There were two of us and we started w the shrimp & pork spring rolls. They came out quick and were so freash and delicious! Served with peanut sauce, I had to control myself and not drink it. Yummy! We also shared a bowl of "create your pho" with Round steak & brisket. Broth was amazing, plenty of rice noodles and the meat was tasty and of good quality. I was excited to come eat there as they had recently opened a big additional space. It used to be a tiny little spot with no tables available, so I'm glad to see. They have grown definitely great food and really nice service! I will be back.

    Order here or at kiosk

    Love the Báhn mi sandwiches here. I always get the grilled tofu and it's great - generous amount of tofu and delicious fresh bread. Service is excellent, and their new expanded shop is amazing. Lots of tables to eat inside and nice decor. Recommended

    When we ate here in June 2025, they said the seating area had been open for 1 week. The food was fast and fresh. Smiski loves this restaurant. The fresh rolls only come with peanut sauce (there's no sweet chili sauce or sweet and sour alternative) but there is hoisin at the table, along with Sriracha. Vegan report: the tofu pho is vegan as well as filling

    Chicken Banh Mi
    Veronica G.

    I got the grilled chicken Bang Mi, it was huge and packed good! Definitely got full with half, the chicken had such great flavor, husband got the Pork belly Banh Mi and said it was full of flavor. Definitely a spot I recommend you try Service was great too, got everything we asked really fast and I tried the Strawberry Lychee drink and so delicious as well!

    Wowww this place is amazing. Recently came in and tried the lemon grass beef bahn mi. It was perfect. Such fresh ingredients! It was a huge meal for one I was so pleased. The staff is so friendly as well. I ate inside to enjoy my meal and it was so lovely. Very clean, peaceful atmosphere. I will definitely be back!

    I called a couple weeks ago and the person answering said they are under new ownership? Is this true? I tried to order Pho and the guy asked "what's in that?" I hope I'm wrong. Hung had such a great business! We ate there two to three times per week

    Yes. The Management has changed and I no longer eat there.

    Any gluten free options?

    Yes. Pho noodles are made with rice, as are vermicelli noodles. Also the rice plates are gluten free as well. Spring rolls are also made with rice paper. Most of the menu looks gluten-free. But since they also carry wheat products, if you have… Read more

    PSA: hard pass! Keep moving and eat elsewhere…read more I wanted to like this place. I love to eat, grew up eating this kind of food, and have worked in food service so I am so sorely disappointed that this neighborhood spot isn't better or even serviceable. And it hurts me to write a bad review. This place has a lot of potential. Charming area, easy parking, and right by Singing Sun coffee where the lines stretch way out the door. The decor attempts to be modern and tidy. But I want to warn others: the service is so slow and so out of touch and the food is bland. Constantly apologizing for the wait especially when there was only one other customer doesn't help. Show some visible effort to speed up or communicate early about the delay. Nope! Entire order took about 45 mins to show up at the table. The only other customer also waited forever for their dumpling appetizer. I ordered a bunch of items: a banh mi, an appetizer, noodle dish, rice dish...all lazy examples of the Viet food could be. All flavorless, not fresh, and small portions except for the chicken cabbage appetizer. Even the rice was hard and dry. All in all, I think my bad experience speaks volumes about the values of management and the eventual poor business outlook of this restaurant unless things turn out. Please turn it around! Until then, I'm not coming back. Save yourselves!

Good portions. Pricey because of the location. PARKING There's a lot just up the street and plenty of street parking around. FOOD (lunch) Vegetarian options include fried tofu. Excellent. Portions are generous, but not "shareable" big for lunch. Great curry flavors. Not too spicy tho. It's a little in the expensive side - but that's the tax for being so conveniently close to everything. TOFU PANANG - Good. Not spicy at all. More rice would've been nice. CHICKEN PUMPKIN CURRY - Very Good. Tender pumpkin/squash pieces. SERVICE There were many to go and delivery orders today. We were given menus and the server (only one today) had to disappear to prep all of the dine out orders. We ordered, then they were gone again until drinks and food came together. INTERIORS I couldn't help notice all of the greasy cobwebs on the high ceilings and on some of the art. It's been here for a while - people like it, but you notice. (I think it's hard to reach & clean those areas) The chairs aren't very comfortable, but maybe that's just because it was so cold in here today. BATHROOM Serviceable.

We let the group pass us and entered the restaurant. We were promptly seated at a corner table and given menus. It did take a bit for the server to come back to take our order, but we did realize we came in 1/2 hour before closing, so we eased off a bit. My partner order the hot pot and was very happy with his choice. The server came back with a hot plate and instructed us how to cook the meat. I was a bit apprehensive about having to cook my own food, but the fragrant smell as it cooked changed my mind. The broth was flavorful and the veg and meat were tender as they soaked up the soupy goodness. I also ordered the boa buns and the pillowy texture, mixed with the soft pork and crunchy cucumber and carrots made my belly sing. We slurped up our food and cleared out as quickly as we could. I hate being that person that lingers at closing time. What I do regret is that I did not take more time at their counter as we exited because it was full of snacks and curios that I love. Next time for sure!
