Honestly, I was pleasantly surprised by my experience at this place. My first thought was, "Bahn Mi…read morein Manayunk? C'mon, how good can it be?", but as soon as I tasted the food, I was blown away. Truly one of the best Bahn Mi sandwiches I've had in the area, and I've tried a huge amount of em across Philly. Worthy of five stars and worth the trip out to the neighborhood if you're in another part of the city. Fu Wah still has my heart, but this place is incredible.

To the point - it was ok but not that great…read more Mi n Tea caught my eye with their Gettin' Fancy Banh Mi, so I'll start there. I got the filet mignon medium rare and did not remove any of the standard offerings. First bite was just a carrot overload, they say the carrots are pickled but that acidity just wasn't there so it was just carrot flavor. The filet mignon is fried but didn't have a crunch or much seasoning to it so it relatively tasted like a meat was present. The "House special sauce" had such a minuscule effect on the sandwich until the end middle of the half. The bread was standard Banh Mi baguette style roll but wasn't anything remarkable in regard to crunch, softness and taste. Overall I give the Gettin' Fancy an unfortunate 3/10 "The Classic" held up to it a name, it's very much a classic Banh mi, we initially thought the "belly cuts" were going to be more of a thick pork belly but was deli slice thin. Not a big problem but the sandwich lacked depth, I found myself hav3 similar flavor experiences between the two sandwiches which wasn't great but I think that comes from the overuse of the vegetables which overshadowed the meats for me. I give "The Classic" a ok 4/10 The Bulgogi Bowl was pretty good, I think the heavy hand of veggies work here. I do however wish the beef itself was a bit more seasoned as again it just felt like a cooked beef meat and lacked the flavorful addition it so desperately needed. The Bulgogi Bowl gets an ok 4.5/10 The Furikake Fries were the star but mainly because nothing else shined. The furikake seasoning was just thrown on top of truthful really well fried fries. They had a great crunch and were a bit airy, very small but still satisfying. The season didn't do much, I wish that added maybe a garlic oil and tossed them in the seasoning instead of just sprinkling it on top. It came with spicy ketchup which we actually, it's nothing too crazy, very true to the name. The Furikake Fries get a nice 6.5/10 We got 3 drinks but I forgot to snap a picture, forgive me. We got the Matcha Cloud Latte, Mi n' Tea Milk Tea, and some coffee but didn't try that so I can't judge. The milk tea was terrible, very standard Milk tea with zero personality, and the boba was very plain which barely any sweetness. The only grace I will give is that I did order the sweetness level to 75% so maybe the 100% is better but overall it wasn't creaming in the slightest, and was soooo watery. The Mi n' Tea Milk Tra gets a sad 1/10 I'm not the biggest matcha fan but I thought the Matcha Cloud Latte was pretty good. Same 75% sweetness but it was still pretty good. I'm not too well versed on matcha so I don't have much to say, overall giving the Matcha Cloud Latte a solid 7/10 The service was good, not the biggest space, very standard cafe, but not much seating. I was really looking forward to the Banh mis but they ended up being Bad and Mid.

I usually get the grilled shrimp pho but decided to switch it up and try the grilled shrimp platter which is another one of my personal favs--They did a great job it was yummy but could use maybe 2 more shrimp to make the dish more fulfilling; maybe advertise it as on add on if possible. The curry shrimp was also tasty, I don't think it had any sweet potatoes in it like the menu said and could've used less egg plant but overall was pretty good. Still one of my favorite places on main street to grab a bite to eat :)

But someone under the post commented that they enjoy coming to Main Street Pho so I decided to come to this location because this is close to me. You can go on their site and place the order for pick up. That was very convenient and easy. It's right on Main Street in manayunk so you already know the parking is not the greatest. I actually drove by the place. I had to circle back around and I got lucky and found parking. It's actually right across the street from Winnie's to be exact. It's a very small and quaint place and the gentleman at the counter was very nice and helpful. I got the brisket pho, eggplant with garlic sauce and shrimp, chicken wings and Vietnamese coffee. Overall, I was not impressed; disappointed in the lack of flavor. Their wings were with tamarind sauce and the sauce was not good so I did not use it so it left the wings very bland. All of the food really didn't have any flavor and Pho is supposed to have great flavor coming from the broth. Even the Vietnamese coffee was just OK. I've had better of all the above. I'm not sure if I will go back here. I'm a flavor person so that's what I would need to be sold. Maybe this is a bad batch day.

Step 1 is picking your base which can be white rice, brown rice, organic spinach, etc. I ended up getting the organic spring mix. Step 2 is proteins. You get 2 to 3 servings depending on how much you want. I ended up getting 2 servings of the tuna. Veggie wise, you can add up to 5 veggies. The 5 veggies I got were cucumber, pickled ginger, edamame, jalapeños, cherry tomatoes. Sauces are next. I highly recommend the rainbow sauce. It is delicious- it is a mix of spicy mayo and teriyaki sauce. I also got tempura flakes on top. I really liked how there was bar seating around the windows. There were also a couple of tables for regular seating. It seems very take out/fast food vibes with the sitting arrangement.

Seaweed salad with sesame tastes no different than what you'd get elsewhere. It's good. My friend insisted on spicy cucumber salad because she thought we'd all enjoy it. (She took most of it home.) But it was indeed spicy. Bok choy with black mushrooms was nothing I would order on my own. I frequently buy bok choy at Trader Joe's and the preparation here tastes like something I could make. (Well not really, but you catch my drift.) The two standout dishes are mapo shrimp with tofu and double cooked chicken. While one often sees double cooked pork on menus, most restaurants don't do chicken. DJ's rendition is the best I've had. Rather than deal with tablets -- that was always a turnoff to me -- a server graciously came over to take our order. Service was fine, dinner was unhurried, the wine (which we brought) was good. All in all a lovely evening.
