Decent bahn mi and Viet coffee but I do wish they offered grilled meat options other than just deli sliced. Food was ready in less than 5 minutes and the line went fast. Also, I’m not sure if you have to request it or they just don’t offer jalapenos as my bahn mi didn’t have any..

I have had the Bahn mi twice and wonderful both times. Most recently I tried the spring rolls and they were very herbaceous. I like the bitter herb flavor but it may be too much for some. Will be bringing my wife to try on of these days

Every time I come to campus, I tell myself I’m going to a different place for dinner, but I just love the tofu banh mi here way too much. A lot of good outdoor seating nearby, too. IMO easily the best vegetarian option on campus. Staff are always really friendly, too.

The food is generally good and the staff are very nice. I have tried the sandwiches, smoothies, and pho. The sandwiches are tasty and have fresh vegetables. The pho is good, but you may need to add some soy sauce as it isn’t really seasoned. Smoothies are also good, but if you add boba, I’ve found the boba to be very chewy. All of the food is decent with tofu but their beef balls and chicken are pretty unpalatable to me, personally. I think if all of the ingredients were of similar quality and freshness it would be much better, but it’s a very good dining option on campus.

The boba wasn’t really good. It was still hard on the inside which made it hard to chew. But the drink overall was good. The sandwiches were good but the chicken was cold and wasn’t tender. The pho was really good! I don’t think I’ll be ordering chicken and the boba anymore but will continue to get the drinks and pho. And maybe will give other sandwiches a chance 🙂

Worst Pho ever tasted. Tasted like eating noodles with water with a hint of salt. Didn’t have any fish sauce to bring in more flavor. Space indoors were very cramped, outside is nice. Service was decent and did not have to wait long. Overall, it was not worth my money.

They don’t explain anything until after you order your food. I just didnt want daikon and instead of the person taking my order telling me, she just placed it with no warning beforehand my sandwich will be plain.

Don’t like the broth from the pho. Made me sick. Love the flank, meatballs and noodle tho. Customer service was great and banh mi are bomb. The restaurant doesn’t do plastic straws no more but I couldn’t suck my bobas through the small straws

Pho has good flavors. Not as good as some places down in the Vietnamese area but pho on campus, how can I complain? Sitting outside in the colder weather, pho warm my body and soul.
