Pho was very flavorful and egg rolls were super good. Great price point too so definitely stop by.

take out vermicelli and pho, spring rolls, and beef cubes rice

This place is my favorite pho place because the dipping sauce is just so good. The orange sauce is everything when it comes to viet food for me, only sad news is they dont have viet pancakes.

Four years ago my husband took me to this restaurant for our first date. He said it's his go-to restaurant. And since then till now we still think they have the best spring-rolls. And the RiceRoll with shrimp too, has to use the peanuts sauce otherwise it's too plain

Pho

The food was consistent in quality and taste; same as last time. Service has improved a lot. Came here for lunch and street parking was not a problem.

AMAZING Food, great service. Only had one experience that did not go well, I ordered the Iced Lemonade and when I revived it, there was something floating on top. But they gladly made a new one right away. Love the Gia Lam special which is Grilled porkchop, chinese sausages, over easy egg : ) NOM SO DARN GOOD and I added the egg crab patty on the side:) must try and also their Beef Cubes and fried rice is a popular item. A lot of ppl raved about it and I tried some from my cousin and I must say it's flavorful. MUST TRY if you're around the area:) PORK CHOP is BOMB.com !!

Brisket pho
Qin Z.

This was a first time experience of having pho in Brooklyn and I didn't expect much. The reviews seemed good so my grandma and I decided to try it out. We were seated, not asked what to drink. The waiter gave my grandma hot tea and water for me. Not sure who ordered these to be honest. We ordered pho. Mine was alright. The broth was definitely watered down and lacking in flavor. Pretty skimpy on the brisket even if it was 7 dollars. The problem came when my grandma got her seafood pho (beef broth FYI). It came with assorted vegetables, the carrots were sour. The only seafood thing about the soup was 2 shrimps. 2! The only thing that stopped this from being a one star is that they took it back and brought her another seafood pho. This time containing 2 squid pieces, one fish ball cut in half, one shrimp (guess cause she ate the two from before), and a 1/3 crabstick. Easily became the worst pho place I been too (no exaggeration) and I been to a lot in a wi assortment of places.

Not a big fan of the food but it really has to do with my tastes. My family seem to love the spring rolls there and they are always keen on the soup noodle dish. Me, I would prefer Ramen. Small establishment and for the life of me, I don't know why the phones always appear to lose signals whenever we are there. I would like to explore the menu a bit more to provide a more comprehensive report.

I really thought I had reviewed Ba Xuyen before. I first ate here pre-pandy and it never occurred…read moreto me that I hadn't chimed in about this awesome spot. Well, let's clear that up now. The aunties are mentioned often in other reviews, and that's because they're amazing. They'll gladly explain what you need, especially when it comes to the super tasty (and extremely inexpensive) deserts that populate racks and the drink fridges here. Some are sweet, some are sour (the deserts, that is), they'll let you know. Honesty since a cake here is $5, you can afford to try everything! How on to the main reason that you came, the Banh Mi. You literally can't go wrong with any of the eight main sandwiches here. I've tried them all so you don't have to, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't. The bread is crispy, the ingredients are super fresh, and the tastes combine perfectly. The decor is perfect for this kind of spot. No frills. There are three tables and a bunch of chairs. It's exactly what I want in a takeout type place. They concentrate on the food. So, to wrap this one up. Go. I'd say that I'll be back, but I've been coming here for years. If you haven't, it's time to start.

very good vietnamese food the banh mi reminds me of home…read moreprob one of the best ive had in nyc.... avocado smoothie was great im used to it being a little less blended with ice chunks and sugar but flavor was on point after adding another packet. viet coffee was above average for sure! not breathtaking but solid. lady was nice she also spoke vietnamese and chinese. fast service and showed me the restroom! come here if u want some viet food!!!!

If you walk by Washington Avenue and see a line of people waiting and you are craving Banh Mi…read moresandwich; you've arrived! I have dined here so many times @5 years and can brag about the consistency of the summer rolls, pho, banh mis and bubble teas. I have savored and loved every meal here. I usually order and take to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. Your receipt now has an order number and an automated voice calls it out she. It is ready. The restaurant is small and I usually sit outside on their bench and wait. The place is packed today on a day when it feels like early summer has arrived. I waited @10 minutes for my shredded chicken Banh mi and walked straight to BBG to dine Al fresco. ( the size of the banh mi is two meals on one imo) Banh Mi Place is a great grab a meal to go to whatever destination you need to get to. Consider me a loyal Banh mi babe! Banh Mi Place 824 Washington Avenue Take 2 or 3 to Eastern Parkway, @10 minute walk

Small little Vietnamese place the specializes on bahn mi and has some other dishes as well. They…read morehave 2 small round tables and a high table at the window. My daughter liked the labubu toys hanging on the wall. They also has some bahn mi place swag hanging on the wall, looks like they have been there for 20 years though based on the staining. I ordered a regular and a grill pork and the food came out relatively quickly. The bread and meat were decent and so was the size of the sandwich itself. The carrots and radish did not taste pickled, however for the area I think this is a decent bahn mi option.
