Ba Chi Canteen is a vibrant Vietnamese noodle house on Maple Street, serving mouthwatering pho, inventive bacos, and a fusion of Asian flavors in a lively atmosphere.
"Ba Chi Kitchen & Bar, a revamped version of Maple Street Vietnamese staple Ba Chi Canteen, offers chic and modern decor with a bar and lounge. The menu includes permanent oyster dishes, bò né, and Viet-Cajun-style boiled seafood." - Clair Lorell
"The menu at this Maple street gem is irresistible, from traditional pho, also with shrimp or chicken, to inventive bacos (bao meets taco with all kinds of fillings), kimchi fries, and banh mi. Insanely good, affordable, and friendly, Ba Chi Canteen is a winner (although plant-based options are scant)." - Beth D'Addono, Eater Staff
"This Riverbend favorite for Vietnamese has a number of out-of-the-box specialties it’s known for — soft shell crab “bacos,” kim chi fries, and nacho potstickers, served with sweet and spicy chili sauce, radish, jalapeno, and edamame. Specials will also occasionally include dumplings — like spicy chicken, shrimp and pork, and steamed wontons with chili soy." - Beth D'Addono, Clair Lorell
"Operated by Phat Vu and Quinn Nguyen of Tan Dinh fame, this is one of the best options for contemporary Vietnamese with lots of specialty items and pork belly dishes. No shock that the pho is fantastic, including vegetarian variations with kimchi and tofu." - Clair Lorell, Eater Staff
"While this Maple street gem is best known for menu items like the bacos (bao meets taco), gyoza nachos, kimchi fries, and green tea Kit-Kat cheesecake, Ba Hi Canteen offers a variety of banh mi like the pork belly, roast pork, and pate combo or the lemongrass combo, all affordable." - Eater Staff, Clair Lorell
