Nice place. Clean inside, fast service, and my order was ready quickly. I got it to go…read more I ordered P1 and A1A. It's food. Growing up, I was never into soup. Soup isn't a meal -- it's a thick beverage. Like a milkshake, but made of tomatoes and eaten while a grilled cheese sandwich watches in judgment. Pho is different. Pho isn't just a hunger suppressant -- it's an activity. Like dipping fries in ketchup or doing fondue. You get to cosplay as the chef while the restaurant acts as your sous chef. They gather the materials; you do the real work. Want lightly cooked tripe? Pull it out early. Want thoroughly cooked brisket? Let it soak. Want to eat an entire garden with your meat? Add all the bamboo, basil, and mint. Want a primitive diet? Take the garden home for the rabbit you'll slaughter tomorrow. You are the pilot of this meal. If your pho sucks, that's on you -- take notes and do better next time. If it's amazing? Congratulations. You are now a world-class Pho-er. This is exactly why I like pho to go. In the restaurant, the chefs behind the counter assume you're a n00b and finish it for you. At home, you control your destiny. PHO 95 Hai Ky Mi Gia hits all the right marks for me. I also ordered the crispy pork egg rolls. They're what you'd expect -- probably the same supplier as half the restaurants in America -- but the key difference is they didn't overcook them. That alone sets them apart. Just enough grease to coat my mouth in flavor, not so much that I could power a lamp for seven nights. Totally going back. P1 is the universal baseline, but next time I might live dangerously and try the S4. Maybe next week. Photos included... need to work on my food presentation skills.

Staff were friendly. The outside does make this place look like a hole in the wall spot, but the food is still quite decent. Unfortunately they have a 4% credit card fee which was significantly high. Overall I wasn't upset with the visit, but I'd probably skip this next time and go somewhere else. Food(50%): 6.0 Staff/service(25%): 7.0 Value(25%): 5.0 Overall: 6.0/10

My water was brought out with something in or on the ice, and they quickly replaced my water cup. I ordered the shrimp roll and pho (P7 I believe) with flank steak and brisket. The rolls were huge and thick, and part of me would have liked them slightly smaller or not as thick. The pho comes in different sizes, which is arbitrarily unknown really what the bowl sizes look like. I opted for a medium and it was huge. The flavors were great and this was a delicious bowl of pho. Overall, If looking for a good healthy portioned bowl of pho with great flavor and not worried about vibe or ambience too much, this is a great spot for it.

It's been really hard to find good Vietnamese food on the east coast. As someone who grew up in a…read moreVietnamese dominated community in Orange County, California, I have high standards. I was searching for a Banh Mi place to try and this place pops up in my search and of course I had to stop by and take a look. It's a small store with very limited variety of things you would expect from an "authentic Vietnamese" store. Of course this place should be specialized in Banh Mi but I was wrong. I don't even think there are any Asian or Vietnamese people who work there, they were all Hispanic. The bread is definitely not crunchy or fluffy as you would think in a traditional Banh mi. It was soft and mushy and I'd give it a zero star. This is the worst banh mi I've ever had in my life. I would not pay 7$ for this. You can even tell in the photo. The Banh beo was decent though except it did start to break apart easily as I got towards the bottom of the plate. 6$ does feel a little pricey for it but it saved my meal. 3 out of 5 star. The sesame ball was decent. For $1.50 I would definitely come back for. The filling was sweet and the ball was crunchy as I would expect. The only thing that I didn't like about it was that it was extremely greasy and soaked the brown paper back it was in. Even when I left it on the counter it's like all the oil just came out and bleed through making a small puddle of oil. 4 out of 5. Keep it in the plastic bag or put it on paper towels to get all of the excess oil before eating it. Overall the only thing I would go back to buy in the store is the side snacks. I will never buy Banh mi at this banh mi place ever again which is ridiculous. It's like going to a pizza place and not buying pizza.

Small hole in the wall bakery. Serving up fresh bread, delicious treats and filling sandwiches! I…read morehave loved Bahn Mi for a while but haven't been able to find many spots that serve it. Catina bakery filled the Bahn Mi hole in my heart! The sandwiches are filled with meat, the right amount of jalapeños and mayo (which is made with raw eggs here), they are also only 7 dollars! They are on the smaller side so you could easily eat 2 but if you pair it with any of their buns or breads they offer you could easily have a full lunch for quite a reasonable price. The sandwiches are made to order and my wait for 2 sandwiches was less than 6 minutes. I can't wait to return and if you're also looking to fill your Bahn Mi fix or just looking for a quick lunch spot this is definitely the place!

The drink prices are reasonable and a nice value. However, it seems the menus on the table could have outdated pricing because my friend ordered a cocktail that was listed for $7 and was charged $10. The atmosphere felt a bit off during the midday visit. The music was extremely soft, and normal conversation seemed to echo throughout the space, which made it feel like we needed to keep our voices unusually low. Service was also slower than expected, from placing our order to receiving drinks and food. It seemed possible they were operating with a limited staff or a skeleton crew during lunch hours. Overall, I'm not dying to dine in again but would consider takeout.
