12/04/2025 update: We returned for another lunch to try the banh mi, and it was all superlatives! We were especially happy to have been recognized by the owners: It's been a few months since our last visit. You know you're in the right place for great Vietnamese food when the parking lot is packed at lunch, and the patrons include a Buddhist monk and Muy Thai practitioners. What do I find charming about this place? Firstly, it's the best baguette I've ever had. (For reference, I spent three years in a former French colony in Africa). The char sui option reminded me of Hong Kong night markets! The unctuous pork BBQ was nicely offset by crunchy cucumber slices and cilantro leaves. So good! The spring rolls were nicely balanced flavors and textures, and the peanut dipping sauce was excellent. The combo beef pho was as great as I remembered: An enormous bowl of noodles, meatballs, and steak, flavored with anise, lemongrass, and chives. Now that we've got low winter skies over Buffalo, I really appreciate all the large live plants in the dining room! read more

Got the house special bahn mi for lunch and it was really good. The flavor mixed well together and the homemade pate was pretty good. They give a good amount of pickled radish which I appreciate and the service was fast. Would come again for their bahn mi which are also so affordable. read more

Food is delicious. Haven't ate inside yet, just take out and everything has been spot on. Been going back whenever I can.

Wow! We had heard about this place from another restaurant because of their outstanding bread. We came hungry were not disappointed. We stopped by on a Tuesday evening at dinner time and it was busy, a great sign. We wanted to try a little of everything so we got pho, vermicelli bowl with shrimp and pork, a bahn-mi and 2 rice paper rolls- the shrimp and pork and the lemongrass beef. We ordered and found a table. The food came out quickly and we devoured it. First of all, I have to say the staff were very kind and patient with my food allergies. I was so happy I could enjoy a meal here after knowing the rice products were ok for me. Once we got our food, it was hot, fresh and flavorful. We ate every bit and it was all tasty from the sauce to the meats and toppings. Prices were very reasonable and we were very full. We are excited to come back again soon. read more

Hands down the best pho I have ever had. I'm usually a ramen girl when it comes to noodle soup dishes but the broth of their pho converted me. Plus the portion was huge, I ended up having it for 3 meals. My husband absolutely loved his bahn mi with the bbq pork. We also got the crab ragoons which made me cry a little when they came out with 5 tiny pieces for $8 but once I bit into it and realized there was REAL CRAB, the price made sense. They were so delicious! We went a week ago and almost every day since then my husband has asked when we can go back lol read more

I was introduced to Pham's at an elite event in 2024. We had several samples of their tasty Vietnamese food. I also ordered a bowl of pho as I wanted to try that, and I was impressed with the flavor. I returned last week to get a bowl of beef pho, and I was not disappointed. The restaurant is bright and clean. The servers are friendly and helpful. You place your order at the counter and they bring it to your table when it's ready. It is accompanied by some extras like jalapeno slices and what I believe are bean sprouts that you can add if desired. There are also bottles of siracha and hoisin sauce on the table. I am not good with chopsticks, but there were also soup spoons and forks on the table. The bowl is huge. It is a full meal in itself. The pho was hot and delicious; a great treat on a cold winter's day. I am looking forward to my next visit. I like the pho so much, I might order some other dishes to take home so I can try them. read more

I grew up eating a lot of home cooked Vietnamese food so I was excited to try this place out! When you enter, you seat yourself and you also pay at the counter. I ordered the #1 sandwich which was a mix mosh of cold cut meats. It was really good and pretty on par with the sandwiches I've had in NYC. It was decently sized and reasonably priced. I love pho but don't really care for beef so I opted for the chicken. It was delicious and definitely hit the spot. The waitress was nice, ambiance is casual. It's a great place to grab a quick meal. I came on a Monday and it was packed! Would return again. read more

Everything was awesome. Food is delicious and feels like a healthy, tasty choice. I order takeout, have been coming back many times to try beef or chicken chicken ban mi, spring rolls, chicken broth (yummy) & sides like rice. The most outstanding French baguettes and generous sandwiches for about $10. Definitely a FAVE and I am a regular for all the right reasons. read more

This place is so cute! I got the beef pho and it was the best I've had! The meat was super tender, great portion sizes and super flavorful. The staff came to my table and we had a great conversation. I will definitely be back! read more

Great food! We shared the five spice chicken and shrimp dinner which comes with rice over shredded carrots and cucumbers. Just my suggestion would be a little more training for two younger girls at the register. They were still helpful. Also the bathroom seems to be an issue with plumbing or sewer system. Would recommend fixing that, and adding some kind of Black fly trapping system as that was a deterrent as well. read more

Even before I stepped foot inside, this restaurant has been calling to me since it opened. The bright orange sign is like a Thai beacon enticing you to come in, be welcomed, and spoil your taste buds with amazing food. The shrimp rice bowl was what was recommended to me, but it was so difficult not to choose one of each off the menu! In fact, when I stepped up to the counter to place my order, the first thing I asked about was the homemade chili garlic sauce, which of course I had to order! I did order the shrimp rice bowl and I cannot wait to go back for something else. The food is so fresh and delicious. The shrimp was grilled to order. The staff is super friendly. The decor is gorgeous - beautiful colors and a cozy feel. Who wouldn't want to come here? read more

They have 9 different Bánh Mi, we picked the Char Sui. (it was not mentioned on the menu, but I think it was pork). The baguette was nicely filled with seasoned pork, veggies and fresh jalapeños. Also a great sauce with a really nice kick to it. The Phó comes in a big bowl filled with bouillon, chicken (veggies or beef are other choices) and plenty of noodles. It comes with a little plate with bean sprouts, jalapeños and mint leaves to add to the Pho. It was really good. The service was very attentive and we were really surprised when the (I think) owner stopped by. Not just for the "how is your meal?", but after we mentioned we had some trouble eating the long noodles, she explained that we have to try chop sticks. Just like the Vietnamese do! I will start practicing at home and next time will eat Phó like a pro. read more

Look, I realize that I get the same thing at a lot of places I go. I have said before, I am a creature of habit and I eat what I know I like. Sometimes I get a little adventurous and change it up but this time, I kept with my favorite order from here. It's a Bahn Mi and a juice tea with tapioca. The Bahn Mi was incredible as always. I love the bread and the lemongrass beef is so flavorful and tasty. When I couldn't figure out which flavor of tea to get, they came up with a combination of the juice that tasted PHENOMENAL! As always, the service here is quick, friendly, and they really put a lot of care and attention into every order. You can tell whether you get it to eat there or to go, they make sure everything is prepared perfectly. There is a very peaceful vibe here and plenty of seating to dine in. I keep saying I need to try the Pho but I cannot get away from that Bahn Mi. It's too good! read more

Since our go to pho joint closed on South Park in Lackawanna, we had to try a new place! Well, this was an excellent choice! We had the sirloin steak pho, it was very good, huge bowl, enough for two meals. The menu on the wall was not huge but gave the fast food feel and it was not fast food at all. Was not an outrageous wait. The anticipation of the soup was the hard part, lol! And was well worth the wait. Awesome bowl of yumminess, just to put your face over the bowl and inhale was incredible. Very Good, I will be going back for sure. read more

Wow! What a great Bahn Mi sandwich they make. How can you go wrong with fresh bread made daily (starting at 4am!)? The sandwich was loaded with tons of perfectly seasoned tender pork and fresh toppings. So good! I also got a side of chicken spring rolls. They were ok but the star was the Bahn Mi sandwich. Need to go back to try their Pho. I saw others enjoying it & it looked delicious. 2024-64 read more

I went to Pham Kitchen on a Tuesday night, and had a good dining experience. Orders are taken at the counter and your dish is brought to your table. The staff was nice and professional taking our orders. There is a water station you can help yourself to along with coffee, tea, and smoothies on their menu. I ordered the Char siu Banh Mi, and my dining mates ordered a Vermicelli bowl and a rice bowl. Everyone enjoyed their meal, it was not extraordinary but certainly good enough that we plan to return to try the Pho. When ordering we learned you can buy their plain baguette for $1. They are delicious and we bought 3 on our way out the door. I would definitely recommend this place. read more

Moving back from Seattle, I found myself desperately missing Vietnamese cuisine - it had become such a dietary staple during my time there. In Seattle, one of the first things your newly found friends will do is take you out for phở. It becomes the backdrop for everything: welcomings, social gatherings, dates, casual hangouts, and even work meetings inevitably revolve around steaming bowls of broth and noodles. My memories are filled with late-night vermicelli bowls, summer days savoring bánh mì, warm summer evenings enjoying blood duck soup and fresh lettuce wraps with bún chả Hà Nội - all perfectly paired with rich Vietnamese coffee. Moving back to Buffalo, I genuinely mourned the loss of these flavors and the culture surrounding them. That is, until I discovered Pham Kitchen. From the moment I walked in, I knew I'd found something special. Their phở is absolutely delicious and deeply flavorful - the kind of broth that clearly simmers for hours and speaks to authentic technique. The vermicelli bowls are incredible, offering that perfect balance of fresh herbs, crisp vegetables, and perfectly seasoned proteins. But it was my first bite of a Pham Kitchen bánh mì that truly transported me. The combination of their tender beef, the subtle heat of jalapeños, brightness of lemongrss and rich pâté created a wave of pure euphoria that took me right back to those Seattle days. It's that magical moment when a single bite can collapse time and distance. What makes Pham Kitchen even more special is the personal touch from the owner, who has an remarkable memory for regular customers - always remembering what you ordered last time and asking how you enjoyed it. I've overheard conversations with first-time diners as the owner enthusiastically guides them through the menu, helping newcomers discover these incredible dishes for the first time. While their menu is thoughtfully curated rather than extensive, everything is executed to perfection. They make their bread fresh daily, prepare their sauces in-house, and offer a wonderful selection of boba teas. I highly recommend trying their egg cloud coffee - it features a deep, rich, and bold coffee flavor topped with a creamy, dreamy egg foam that's absolutely divine. Pham Kitchen isn't just filling a gap in Buffalo's dining scene; it's creating a genuine cultural bridge, one bowl and one bánh mì at a time. For anyone missing Vietnamese flavors or looking to experience them for the first time, this is an absolute must-visit. Highly recommended. read more

Had a really enjoyable dinner here! I ordered the Char Siu (bbq pork) Banh mi and Cha Gio (crispy rolls). What I love about their banh mi is the rolls, which are made in house daily here.

Came here to say for a Yelp event. There were numerous dishes to try and most were gone because our table was last. So we ordered a Pho Beef and a Pho chicken. Unfortunately it wasn't very flavorful and very little meat. Most of the food I sampled was average compared to other Vietnamese restaurants. The thing I disliked the most was the restaurant looked like they had taken over a closed Ted's Hotdogs. A meal here with an appetizer,main course, beverage and tip will be over $30. When I pay that price I want a nice comfortable setting. Service was excellent! read more
