Looking for a lighter meal before our flight.

The spring rims were super tasty and very crisp and delicious. The beef stir fry was good, a few chewy bits but nothing too bad. Flavor was spot on but the heat could have been higher, so I added sriracha sauce. It was clean and comfortable, the pricing is competitive and reasonable. If we were ever to find ourselves here again, we would eat here.

Honestly, love the true Vietnamese twists on all their items and baked goods. Not only beautiful treats to look at...but also resonates with my SE Asia palette. I've tried their: -pork floss roll (3/5, savoury but overindulgent due to the almost-mayonnaise type filling) -pistachio lava bun (4.5/5, very true to taste & filled with pistachio butter lava) -durian mini cake (5/5, VERY generous with their durian) Can't wait to try more...especially their coconut sticky rice mini cakes and their larger cakes to order for special occasions ~

The portions are great,…read morelocation perfect, and they definitely have a better use of this big space than previous tenants! They even have the Banh Mi store to the side of the building to serve those customers separately. They are Cash/Debit only (no discount). We were here as a party of 3 and paid around 100$ for a lot of food plus leftovers. Very worth it, all in all. Food came out quickly within about 10-15 min or ordering while the special item took about the time they indicated. Ordering is all managed by website (QR Code), but you can get staff to take orders manually if needed. Paying is at the front, they don't push you out when you are done. Tea is free and they will refill if called. All takeout containers and free to be used as well if you have leftovers. Floor staff is a bit passive, only really bringing the dishes and managing cleaning/refills, and the cashier is at the front (semi self-served). We had the: - 37. CƠM GÀ NƯỚNG, SƯỜN NƯỚNG (grilled pork and chicken broken rice), the chicken was juicy and tender and the rice super soft and fluffy, the sauce was perfectly seasoned - 48 BÚN THỊT NƯỚNG, CHẢ GIÒ (grilled pork chop with spring rolls and rice noodles), the noodles were the perfect texture, the meat was juicy and tender, also perfectly seasoned - S4 BÚN BÒ HUẾ ĐẶC BIỆT (spicy Hue Style Beef Special noodle soup) (only on Friday, Saturday and Sunday), they had many options on the website to remove certain portions of the meal like no blood, no cake, etc. very flexible and customizable - 10 CÁNH GÀ CHIÊN NƯỚC MẮM VỚI XÔI (takes an extra 20 minutes) (fish sauce fried chicken wings with sticky rice), this was a hidden gem, its super crispy wind/drumettes, great classic Vietnamese grill flavoring (garlic, salt), it takes some additional time as it is freshly fried It was a great meal and will be back to try the rest of the menu, especially in the summer for their cold drinks!

The people who run this restaurant are really kind and the restaurant is quite tidy. Service is usually quick around the evening since nobody is generally there.

Good, but super, duper slooow…read more Located just around the corner from the Kitchener Market. Space is small, it's takeout only. When I came in, there were 3 people waiting for their banh mis. 1 of them was a large-ish order. It took quite some time for anyone to take my order and even longer to wait for 1 sandwich. I waited for approx 15-20mins if not longer. Quite a few people came in AFTER I ordered, but they got their sandwiches before I did which was weird. There are 3 people working behind the counter, and 1 of those people did cash as well. They charged tax even though I paid cash. Sandwich was good, but be prepared to wait. It was NOT a quick in/out!
