"An unassuming counter hidden in the back of a convenience store that opens early, making yak‑a‑mein available for breakfast: the reviewer found this steaming‑hot rendition less overwhelmingly salty than some others and noted it upstaged the pho from the same takeout spot. Takeout made the most sense for the reviewer, but there is a small area of seating for those who need it despite the counter being tucked into the back of the store. — Missy Frederick, Eater cities director." - Henna Bakshi
"Located on Canal and Broad near a very busy bus stop and the courthouse, this mini mart with a killer food counter is the cheap eats bomb. Spend less than $10 at Eat Well and indulge in an enormous banh mi made before your very eyes AND a cold drink. Plus, there are numerous daily plate specials, pho, steamed buns, ya-ka-mein, and the glorious “phoritto.”" - Beth D’Addono
"I sampled Miss Linda’s shrimp and beef yak-a-mein ($15)." - Clair Lorell
"A once lesser-known, now well-loved mini-mart located on Canal and Broad has a killer food counter known for its Vietnamese specialties like banh mi and pho. It serves a yak-a-mein with a dark brown broth that’s just as good (and a great value) with a somewhat notable distinction — a flat, linguine-shaped noodle." - Beth D’Addono
"Located on Canal and Broad near a very busy bus stop and the courthouse, this mini mart with a killer food counter now also has a stall in Pythian Market not too far away. Both locations serve excellent pho including a vegan variety, as well as a “phoritto,” a bowl of pho stuffed inside a tortilla with rice noodles, bean sprouts, jalapeños, herbs, lime and house sauce." - Clair Lorell, Eater Staff
