However, I still wanted Vietnamese food, so I went around the corner to Pho Kim. It was amazing. Definitely worth more than 4-stars in my opinion. I had the Bun Veg and added tofu. The tofu was nice and crispy and the dish had an excellent sauce to go with it. Service was also very quick despite being incredibly busy.

Pork crispy rolls have good portion of stuffing that is nicely seasoned. Special pho has super generous portion size for the price, soup was packed with beefy broth flavor, even greater with a bit of hot sauce. The beef products also tasted nice, especially the meatball, they taste like something with good portion of meat instead of the cheap ones with a lot of flour mixed in them. Probably one of the most authentic Vietnamese food place in Dublin.

This was the first meal we had when we landed in Ireland. We wanted something on the lighter side…read moreversus the heavier Irish meals/pub food around. This place came up on Yelp and on Google as highly rated. I am sad to say that I am thoroughly disappointed. The service is the typical fast joint quick service type of environment but with friendly people. The disappointing factor was on the food itself. The flavors were completely off. The bun bo hue tasted like a basic bland bone broth that they universally used and added maybe a small dollop of what is supposed to be bun bo hue flavoring/essence. It tasted nothing like bun bo hue or smelled like it. If they offered shrimp paste, it wouldn't even have made a difference. The satay on the table didn't even save the dish. The hu tieu reminded me of a broke college student living off of instant noodles but making 1 packet stretch to 2 bowls. It lacks so much flavor and all of the table condiments made no difference. I will say I liked the noodles but everything else was just a bowl of sadness. Now the banh mi... The bread was super stale and my mouth was extremely tired from just eating half. I could not get past the staleness to even enjoy what was inside. Overall this was edible. My friend ordered the grilled pork rice plate. Side note they don't and can't do an egg with it. The meal itself looked really sad and not appetizing. I can't even compare this place to a cafeteria quality type of meal because this was probably one of the worst meals I've had in a very long time. Granted the items were edible, but if I had a choice I would've not eaten it.. but I did pay for it and I don't like wasting food. At least the noodles were cooked correctly and I wasn't eating a bowl of mush. Overall this place is very disappointing for the food, skip it. The people here are friendly-ish and accommodating (they let my friend practice and work on her Vietnamese when ordering the food).

Next time! It's very close to a certain burrito place, but Pang wins me over. Hands down. And the folk here are always so friendly and welcoming. Recommended.

The Chicken Wing appetizer was excellent! The chicken was crispy and seasoned well. Juicy on the inside and stir fried with chilies and onions that gave it a kick. A must order. The pho is alright - I understand that this is Ireland and they don't have enough customers ordering it to warrant huge pots of broth cooking on the stove top. I got the Pho Ga (Chicken Pho) and the broth was a strange murky brown - that's when I realized they probably use the same beef broth for Pho Bo (Beef Pho) and just reheated it. The taste of everything is alright, but I have a high standard for pho so I wouldn't order this again. Chicken pho should be served with pure chicken soup. We also ordered a slice of chocolate cake for kicks. This was excellent. There was a warm sauce that oozed out in the middle and it tasted very rich. I only wish that I had a glass of milk! There was only one woman working the counter, who I assume is the owner. She was very sweet. We tried coming back Saturday morning but it was closed - despite their hours on the store.

I hope to return someday and explore this Asian market even more.

The menu is simple and offers only a few options, my favourite kind of menu as I'm the sort who easily becomes overburdened with choice (first world problems). The interior has a lovely wooden finish to it that makes it feel like it's still a work-in-progress but, that's like, totally cool man. There's a long wooden bench on one side of the room & a few chairs & tables outside, perfect for summer vibes (if it happens to be sunny in Ireland) I went for the *organic* eggs & homemade beans and also a matcha green tea latte. Well the matcha tasted great, but the eggs & beans were really scrumptious. They came out in a cardboard box which actually just worked given the style of the place. It's a good sign when you're eating the food of a place that all you can think about is what everything else on the menu tastes like. I'll update with pics when I inevitably return. In short: A cool place to start your day & my new favourite place for weekend breakfasting. Those eggs though.

The tills broke as soon as they opened the doors, and we did have to wait a little past when they said they were opening because the staff weren't ready yet. Service was slow, but in fairness, there was a long line of people out the door. When you order, you select a main (the meat or main veggie part of your meal), your base (rice, greens, etc), and a sprinkle topping. I went for the Vietnamese chicken, on brown rice with spinach and crushed almonds. It came with a peanut butter vinaigrette, which was light enough to flavour the dish, but not too oily or overpowering. As someone else posted, the servings do look small. But, that being said, I was fairly full after eating mine, so I think it may just look a bit small because of the container it was in. I do, however, wish there had been more meat on my dish. My serving was definitely less than one full chicken fillet. BUT, the chicken that was on there was SO tender and juicy. Their breakfast menu looks like quite good, and I look forward to going back and checking out the breakfast menu. It's nice having more healthy options available for lunch in this area, and it's a fairly good price for lunch (7.50 for the box of food unless you get extras). The juices and other drinks there are more than I would pay, but price wise their food is pretty much the same as a burrito/bowl at tolteca across the street. This place is good, and has promise. It just needs to work out a few kinks before I can give it more stars. If their meat portions were just a bit larger, and they can get into a groove where they speed their service up, I'd say this place will do great.
