"One of the best tasting Bún bò Huế Ive ever had outside of Vietnam . They are very generous with the portion size as well."

"If you’re craving authentic Vietnamese flavours, this place serves the best Bun Bo Hue (spicy beef noodles) in town The broth is rich, aromatic and perfectly spicy, capturing the true essence of this classic dish. For just $17, you get a medium-sized bowl filled with a generous portion of tender beef, thick noodles and fresh herbs that make every bite a delight. It’s a satisfying and hearty meal that offers great value and authentic taste, highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy a comforting bowl of spicy noodle soup."

"Came here for lunch around 1 p.m., and the restaurant was packed. Service was pleasant. The beef pho was tasty and not too oily. The BBH was OK. The serving portions were definitely generous. Plenty of seating was available. As for parking, we parked at the parking lot adjacent to the building. We be back to try other options next time"

"Pretty good BBH with a good flavour profile to it. Noodles are done well and the meat is on the fattier side but cooked to be tender. The broken rice was pretty average with the pork being a bit chewy but it was still a good meal. The spring rolls were ok , decent as a spring roll but overall the standard you get. Paste like shrimp in a crispy coating. Prices were ok with a large being 2$ extra think it was $17 for a medium. Fairly priced and the food took a while when we came near closing time so made fresh."
