Delicious! The Vietnamese coffee 10/10, the traditional egg rolls 10/10, and the fried shrimp 10/10. The signature jumbo wings were ok too! The service was quick and friendly. And the inside of the location is nice!

Beef Pho

1/2 - My New Go-To Pho Spot in Columbia! Pho Bun Me absolutely impressed me from start to finish. I tried the Bao and the Beef Pho, and both dishes were fantastic. The Bao was large, flavorful, and perfectly balanced -- satisfying yet surprisingly light. The Beef Pho was the star of the show though -- the broth was rich and deeply flavorful, and the large portion was loaded with tender beef and plenty of noodles. Every bite felt comforting and authentic. The ambience was another highlight. Although it's a casual dining spot, the interior feels elevated and thoughtfully designed, while the exterior gives off a true Vietnamese street-side vibe. It's the perfect blend of cozy and classy. The service was just as impressive. The lovely ladies running the place were incredibly kind, attentive, and always smiling. They went out of their way to make sure everything was perfect -- genuinely appreciative and welcoming throughout my visit. All in all, Pho Bun Me has quickly become my new go-to for pho in Columbia, SC, and the surrounding area. Great food, great atmosphere, and even better service. 4.5/5 -- highly recommend!

Very bad service very rude and disrespectful DO NOT come here. The owner came up to me yelling for no reason and causing a huge scene for nothing.

Decided to try this new restaurant for lunch and it did not disappoint! The establishment was extremely clean and welcoming. Great parking as well. We were greeted immediately and the food came out fairly fast. The pho was phenomenal with a nice clean broth that had depth in flavor! We also tried the traditional egg rolls and they were amazing! We will definitely be back!

Beef pho and pork belly bahn mi

Update since our last visit. The first few times we ate here and we really enjoyed it all around. The food, ambiance and service were all good, with the food being great! But we visited today and had a very different experience. I ordered the #5 bahn mi and bubble tea and my husband had the beef pho and iced coffee. In short, our waitress was flat out unfriendly, and unavailable half the time. The lady who either owned or managed it was friendly enough but when my husband we had an issue with his food she was hesitant to resolve it, didn't apologize and we thought maybe we'd get some kind of small discount for the huge inconvenience but she didn't offer that either. My boba was mushy. The food was still tasty but definitely felt like lesser quality than previous visits and my sandwich was skimpy on toppings. The restaurant was clean enough but very cluttered which made it feel unkempt. And the owner (managers?) children are almost always there and being loud and disruptive. I was quite sad by this huge change from our previous experiences and I normally would have given them a pass as I know that things happen sometimes. But this seemed like maybe it's their new standard. And all of that to say. It wasn't a great experience, and for $60 for soup, a sandwich a coffee and a bubble tea, we expect a bit better. So if you haven't tried this place yet, maybe get takeout because the food is good but right now everything else is lacking. I'm ending with my husbands issue mostly for the owners to see but not necessarily pertinent to what most people look for in a review. My husband ordered the beef pho with no cilantro and when he went to add black pepper, the lid fell off into his soup and dumped half the bottle with it. When we brought it to a waitresses attention (ours was nowhere to be found) she seemed hesitant to replace it (?) but did so without argument. The man who brought his replacement didn't speak English so it was a bit of a hassle to get someone's attention because once again our waitress was nowhere to be found but when we finally got the attention of the lady (not our waitress) who ordered the replacement we had to tell her that they left off the onions when he got the replacement soup. When she FINALLY brought out the onions they were the wrong kind, but by this point I was almost halfway through my sandwich and my poor husband still hadn't been able to enjoy a single of his soup so he just ate it anyway.

Spring rols

I was excited to try this place but left dissappointed. This is a large building that used to be a Chinese buffet and is now Pho Bun MI. Pet me just say that most people dining here were eating Pho and they seemed pleased but we did not. First, spring rolls...looked great on the menu but when they arrived, they were wrapped in saran wrap and tasted pre-made, rubbery and slightly old. Not a good presentation...but the peanut sauce that came with them was excellent...and I don't even LIKE peanut sauce. Wish they had spices dipping sauce because they were just bland. Same for the Chicken Bun Mi Sanwich. The chicken was cold and shredded chicken and it lacked the flavor of a bun mi. The bread was slightly stale and crumbly as well. My husband chose an entree and was disappointed as well. It just lacked flavor. He said the cold coffee was good but the passionfruit tea had only black boba. They need some flavored boba to add. The space is been so seems impersonal and not "cozy" by any means....although it is sparkling clean. If I do try it again ...I guess I will order Pho because everyone else was getting that and it looked good.

Vietnamese, grilled pork and rice noodles

Very clean restaurant, clean bathrooms. Waitress was outstanding very friendly helped my husband pick out his food, which was delicious. He got the Vietnamese, grilled pork and rice Noodles, came with an extra sauce on the side was wonderful. Used it even on the sandwich. The traditional eggrolls were very good as well. Cannot say enough about how great this place was we'll be going back.

Surprisingly good! I would rate 4.5 stars!…read more We ordered a little bit of everything and loved it all! Hubby got the combo bahn mi and he really liked it...unlike other Vietnamese places we've been to (which is a lot btw) this one packs your sandwich full of yummy meat and vegetables. I usually don't care for the combo bahn mi but I was impressed with this one. I got the vermicelli with grilled pork with egg rolls on the side. It was packed beautifully and tasted very fresh when all the ingredients were in together. They said they could use ingredients from the sandwich options as a noodle bowl so I really want to try a korean inspired one next time (Vietnamese-Korean fusion) - eyeing the bugolgi with hints of kimchi. We also tried the fresh spring rolls and they were huge! I really like them with the grilled pork and shrimp - highly recommended! probably my favorite from all the places I have tried. We also ordered pho wings since I was very intrigued by the uniqueness of this but unfortunately we just got regular wings...they probably forgot to do the toppings since I ordered so many items...that's the reason for 4.5 star vs 5 (if we couod have given half stars). Lastly we also ordered the white chocolate almond bread pudding and it was delicious- love the flavor combination! I Also got the strawberry shortcake bread pudding that was a special but I enjoyed the other a little more. The location is a little inconspicuous but very clean and a guide hangout spot. Met the cook who is super nice and the cashier was very helpful with recommendations. Try it!!!

A modern Vietnamese restaurant tucked in a small corner of Whaley Street. Parking is very limited…read morebut I've always been able to snag a spot in the small parking lot. The employees are kind and service is relatively quick. We tried a couple different banh mis, a grilled pork noodle bowl, and fries. The crack Cajun fries have an interesting orange topping that's an acquired taste I have yet to acquire. Overall, the food is good but on the pricier end for what you're getting.

I have ate her twice, and both times I did not enjoy my entree. I ordered the honey chicken with fried rice. To be honest, it lacked flavor, both the rice and the chicken. The Brussels sprouts were good as well as the spring rolls and the crab rangoons. If I return, I would consider trying the Hong Kong ribs.

I give the restaurant a 4, but I honestly felt like it deserves a 3.5…read more We were greeted by our hostess Priscilla, who was bubbly and super willing to answer all of my vegetarian- related questions. They have quite a few things on the menu that I can eat, so excited about that. I started off with a Thai Lemongrass margarita. The space was very inviting, there are multiple lucky cats along the wall as you enter, it gives me a hipster vibe. The music is upbeat. It was made just right. We started off with vegetarian spring rolls, which were not fried too hard, they were fried just right and were super light crispy and they came with a sweet, slightly spicy sauce. Something I would say, resembles the feeling of "sweet heat " I ordered the coconut curry. The sauce on it was well seasoned, not too thick . The noodles were undercooked, a little bit before al dente. I had to focus on chewing them. I wanted to try tofu dumplings, but they were unavailable, so I had the miso soup and I was pleasantly surprised. It was so flavorful, I have no complaints. I would come back 1000 times just to have the miso soup. I'm told the Berry domain is very berry and very strong... my sister was happy with her drink and ordered a second.
