    The seasoning on the chicken is too sweet, in the pho and also in the bahn mi. Other than that, everything was pretty good

    I hate myself for liking this place more than some of the smaller bánh mì places BUT if you're looking for vegetarian food, the fake meat here is pretty decent.

    Food is cheap and delicious but beware of the long lines durinf peak hours. But the service is rushed so the wait isn't bad. Cash only.

    Spicy brisket Bahn mi had good quality ingredients but wasn't spicy and a bit too Westernized for my taste.

    The food here is alright - just don't expect to be able to take your time to enjoy it b/c the servers will rush you out. We got handed our bill while we were in the middle of our meal :/

    I have been to many Vietnamese places around the world, this being rated so high was quite a disappointment. Decent but not best in NYC material.

    Duck banhmi is NOT Peking style, the meat is very dry and wedged in with stringy scallion. Maybe try a different dish... 😒
