    Really pho-king great. Lemongrass chicken is the move.

    If you know authentic pho/banh mi, then you know this isn't it. Egg rolls were really good--but that's about it.

    The bahn mi is okay at best, redeemed only by the fact it’s $5. Just walk the extra few blocks to Chinatown instead

    The banh mi spicy was bland. Tasted more sweet and needed a kick. Chicken vermicelli was a bit bland too

    I used to love this place… 10 years ago. But today, our bread wasn’t fresh and was stale, my pho wasn’t hot and noodles were a bit soggy :( really disappointing

    The Spicy Brisket sandwich is out of control. Heads up though...Without jalapeños is not very spicy at all.
