XinhXinh Vietnamese Bistro

The food is delicious and very fresh. Huge portions and it keeps well, I ate my leftovers two days later and it was almost as good as the original day it was cooked. Lots of veggie options. The odd part was the service. We arrived at 8:20pm (they close at 9) and were told it was only to go then when we decided to leave and eat in somewhere else. He then told us we could stay to eat so we ordered, got water and sat down but he wrapped up the food all to go so we were able to eat out together as we had planned. Very awkward miscommunication but the delicious food made up for it.

Really good vietnamese restaurant You can feel that the tomato slices and salad are fresh The grilled pork is so tender and flavorful They serve the food pretty fast too Friendly staff and comfortable seating are all plus

We stumbled upon this place on a cold rainy day and I’m so happy we did. This adorable spot is located in a central area right next to a massive food cart pod. We chose this place simply because it was dry and indoors. But after stepping inside, I realized we stumbled upon a hidden gem. We ordered the Phõ, a bahn mi, and pot stickers. Within the first couple bites, we were hooked. The phõ broth was great, the bahn mi was flavorful and had a great texture. Before we left, we ended up ordering to pork buns Togo. We couldn’t even make it two blocks without breaking them out. So flavorful! Side note. They have GREAT vegetarian and vegan options! We will definitely be coming back

Best $12 item I’ve put in my mouth in a long time. Serious dose of veggies with a light and flavorful sauce served promptly with beautiful execution. No-nonsense counter service, clean tables, what else do you need in a lunch spot?

What a wonderful place! Friendly service from the get go where I felt taken care of. The guy at the front counter was so friendly it was memorable. Delish food with plenty of vegan and vegetarian options and even free samples of yummy drinks. The variety and creativity of the menu was impressive as well. I see myself coming back here many times to try everything! I have the ground "tork" which was faux ground pork and that was really yummy. I've never had fake meat that really gave me the sensation of real pork and this was it! My partner got spicy Pho and loved it. Got a taro bubble tea as well and I loved that it wasn't too sweet. Over-all a great place. Check it out!

I ordered the sweet potato fries with the plum dust and spicy mayo and I absolutely love the fries! They have the soft crunch like regular fries and aren’t salty but more of a savory flavor. I think this is the best sweet potato fries I have had. The staff was very respectful while I ordered and helped me be on my way quite quickly and answered any questions I may have had.

A casual, counter-order restaurant that serves up some delicious and creative banh mis. I tried the BBQ Tork Banh Mi (made from tofu and mushrooms) and the Pulled Pork Banh Mi. I enjoyed the texture of the Tork a lot, and I absolutely loved the strong, marinated flavors of the Pulled Pork. The bread was soft and pillowy, and smelled nice and fresh. The ratio of mayo and sauces used was perfect, and it was stuffed to the brim with crunchy pickled carrots, daikon, and cilantro. A good banh mi is all about the textures, and the mix of different textures in these was very pleasant. For appetizers, I tried the Shrimp Salad rolls, which tasted good and standard (nothing too special there), as well as the Crispy Salad with Pork. I liked the sauce flavors and mix of crunchy vs tender textures in the salad; the pork was very flavorful. I also tried some of the Beef Pho— the broth was excellent: very flavorful and aromatic though a little too salty. Overall, prices are solid and reasonable too, and the service was very quick. It was pretty empty for a Tuesday dinner, and it was easy to find a table for dine-in. — Price (relative to peers): 4.6/5 Food: 4.6/5 Ambience: 4.4/5 Service: 5/5 Overall Value: 4.6/5

Service was very quick! Food was absolutely delicious I got the spicy Bun bo hue with beef. I spent about $26 because I got some spring rolls. It was nice there I will definitely go back. I tasted bun Bo hue in Houston for the first time and it was Devine! Here it was the same it was perfect. The men there were so sweet and cute!! I’ll take my girlies next time. The soup I know has shrimp paste in it so if you don’t like that then don’t order but it also has lemon grass I know that’s strong for most so just be aware.

We had plans for a new Vietnamese soup place but found out - the day of - that they are only open until the soup is gone, and that is around 3 pm...and none of us could get to dinner before 6 pm, so we got lucky and found XinhXinh! 1) The customer service is outstanding! I wanted extra peanut sauce and they gave that to me, free of charge. 2) The food is fantastic! 3) Small place but was big enough for us 8. 4) Clean and easy street parking I ordered the spring rolls and sweet potato fries. Both delicious. I know, I know, I could get sweet potato fries any time - but it's what I was craving. My mistake was not ordering the bowls, like my friends did. Photos attached. A photo is worth a thousand words.

Great spot for a good meals (vegans included!). Although there menu isn't huge, they offer a variety of dishes, and the good news is: there's a vegan alternative for most of them! You order at the counter here and they bring the food to you. Service is really nice. I came in a large group and ordered a variety of things, with potstickers, steamed buns, and the wow wow wings for appetizers. The wings were saucy and came either regular or spicy, which I loved. The steamed buns were huge, the buns were soft, and the filling was generous. Out of all the appetizers, I thought the potstickers were the most underwhelming--however, they weren't bad. I ordered a combination plate and for some reason, it came out in a to-go container (without any explanation). Everyone else in my party had regular plates, so it just felt weird to have my food come out in a box. Otherwise, the meal I had here was great.

Ambiance was kind of strip mall. Parking was not a problem on a Sunday even with a beer event at the Redd. Counter service but the food came quickly. We are older so we don't usually finish all of our food and the staff helped us pack it up. No complaints about the service. The food was great. Salad rolls were very good. My wife had beef pho and I had the chicken. Both broths were rich, very flavorful...lots of meat. Very satisfying. Portland has a lot of great pho places and when one considers their location and hours this place might (I'm no pho or other Asian soup expert) might not be absolute top tier (but close) BUT the location, hours and the quality of the food along with the kindness and competency of the staff means we will be back. We were there on a cool, almost cold, rainy Sunday afternoon and the pho they served (and the staff) made it a rather pleasant day. If you are in the area and in need a good bowl of pho to brighten your day...give them a try! Sorry about the pics...thought I had more.

XinhXinh for a fast pho visit after the science museum. Pho was good and service was nice. Server was great at accommodating. Location was great and easy to get to. Parking was a bit of a challenge though. Decent neighborhood. Great location to find right after visiting OMSI. PHO was fresh. Extremely large portion for kids. They over did the noodles though where they added a double portion which soaks up the soup and makes the noodles even larger. The broth has a very cardamom flavor to it if you like that. I wasn't but it was fine. It was unique. Ordered three kids bowls with meatballs and two adult size beef noodle bowls. Total was $69.xx before gratuity Shop is very small. Placed reservations on Google and it was declined but we were able to walk in and get seats right away.

It was a cold, snowy Sunday after church service and I wanted some hot soup. And what will be open...XinhXinh Vietnamese Bistro. I ordered the Hue Spicy beef soup and it was delicious. The noodles were soft and the meat was tender. I also enjoyed the spicy kick. It is not for the faint of heart. I enjoy spicy food and it definitely gave me that nose sweat. Flavorful spicy, yet good. There are plenty of seating indoors, so it's good for parties, yet if you want to use the restroom, it is off-site.

Absolutely loved this place. The salad roll was fresh, the beef pho was delicious, and the taro tea was so tasty. The staff were really kind and accommodating and the space was small and comfortable. Looking forward to coming back!

Spicy vegan fresh! Delicious and comforting on a rainy day to have a hot noodle soup.

The beef brisket pho is so delicious! The broth is very clean tasting and the noodles are cooked just right. The restaurant is nice & cozy & fast service. I am visiting from New York, so this place was very impressive. 10/10 would recommend if you're craving pho!

This restaurant has been on my "to-try" list for awhile on account of the high reviews it has on Door Dash. Well, I ordered some delivery today and my experience made me immediately open Yelp to write this. I ordered a beef bahn mi, vegan hue soup, and sweet potato fries. The fries were okay. The soup tasted like it was made with old ingredients (see photos of toppings). The bahn mi meat tasted weirdly soft, slimy but otherwise flavorless. The pickled vegetables were soft and slimy too. So, like, I am honestly confused. I usually don't expect much from PDX but I did not expect the food to taste *this* bad on account of people from Portland bragging about their Vietnamese food scene. Yes, I have been to, and enjoyed, HA VL so I figure there probably is another decent joint in Portland....but back home in Los Angeles you can toss a random stick and hit a bomb Vietnamese joint.

First time trying pho and it was delicious!! Cute little nap sack tucked away in Portland where it's quite, nice ambience and peaceful. Service was good, though the wait time was a little exaggerated with not many people inside. Food itself was very tasty and fresh!!! Definitely recommend.

Xinh Xinh Bistro is located towards to Eastern Side of Portland, near the Hawthorne area. It is known for their comforting and finest Vietnamese food you will find in Portland. Walking in, yes, it is a bit small, however it is such a hidden gem in Portland. If you want some homemade Vietnamese food in Portland, this is the spot to go. They have items ranging from Banh mi, pho, rice plates, vermicelli, and great appetizers. I got their Sesame rice balls, Vegan Hue Spicy Soup, Steam buns (jack fruit), and their Vegan rice plate. All of these items were so delicious and comforting, it reminded me of home. If you don't know what Bun Bo Hue is, it's basically more of a spicy noodle soup and translates to hue beef noodle soup. I got their vegan hue soup which comes with tofu and other ingredients you typically see in bun Bo hue. Their vegan hue spicy soup was very robust and spicy. I like how they can make a vegetarian version of it because well, not many places do that. It has a nice spicy, salty, and filled with great umami flavors. I also do like the noodle texture and typically, these noodles are a bit thicker compared to pho noodles. I like the strong lemongrass being present as well as every bun Bo should have. Overall, great noodle soup I recommend. My favorite item I recommend the most would be their vegan rice plate! I can't believe I was eating bbq tork because it tastes like bbq pork. The tork I believe is just shredded tofu and it absolutely tastes like actual bbq pork. I love the smokey flavor of the tork and it also gives a nice chewy texture as well. I also loved the steam buns with jackfruit. Jackfruit mimics pulled pork in a way because it has a bit of a sweeter flavor and the "pork is more shredded." I liked how the jackfruit complements well with the carrot and fresh herbs. The steam bun was fluffy soft and wasn't too hard. It was almost like a pillow. Overall, this was great Vietnamese comfort food that I loved and will cherish! The staff was great and this is just comforting Vietnamese food you must try in Portland. Make sure you come here because this bistro spot is awesome! They even have another Vietnamese spot called Tangy kitchen which I went to as well.

Drove by and thought It would be a fun place to check out based on the reviews. Meh prob won't come again. They have a small parking lot and also lots of street parking. Got the chicken pho and pork bahn mi. Both were ok. Pho flavor was a bit off. Bahn mi was small and flavor was also off here as well. Prices were steep - 10 bucks for bahn mi is a lot. Go to best baguette instead

Food: We ordered Crispy Spring Rolls, Vegan Hue Soup / Bn B Chay, and Spicy Hue Soup. (We substituted any meat with shrimp as our protein option) Service: The staff were nice, friendly and helpful! Ambiance: The place is very cozy and quiet. We ordered takeout because it was close to closing time. The food was delicious, comforting and had a great flavor. However, there was few things I hope they improve upon in the future for a better experience. They got our order mixed up, missing an item and wrong. ( Not a huge deal but I think they need to coordinate better communication between the person who takes orders and the person who makes the orders) Also, they should check the orders after it's ready to go before handing it over to customers. We arrived home and had discovered the issues - it was already pass closing time, however, we called anyway to leave a vm. The owner did answer the phone and apologized for forgetting to add the second bowl. They asked us to go back and grab the second bowl, which we did. We got a complementary ice Thai tea for the trouble. But, still the order was not exactly what we ordered. My bowl had no vegetable at all, and the side veggies were not as fresh. My husband's bowl broth was beef broth even though he ordered the vegan version and it was missing the tofu. I asked for lime to the side and there wasn't any. Now, why the 4 stars? Because despite all of this the flavor was great and they were nice people. I do not want to effect their business, I just think they need to improve their service for better experience. We would give them a second chance in the future.

The service was plain rude. Upon entering, no welcoming or acknowledgement. We asked if we can sit at a table, the response was a silent finger pointing at one. No one else dining inside, quiet, two staff literally just standing, strangely uncomfortable, like in an argument with each other. Dishes plopped onto our table with unexplainable attitude. What the heck? Her blameworthy behavior pretty much ruined our meal and we left unfinished. This makes the tipping regretful, so undeserving. The food was not what we remembered it to be or should be the last couple visits. And for dining in, how can the broth be lukewarm?! A most definite no-no for a pho joint, especially an established one at that. The kitchen staff is definitely not putting in the same heart felt cooking the lady owner is known for.

Fast , friendly , healthy choices and clean place . Keep up the good work. I am sure will be, when we are in the area

It's a nice place, cute area. But the food didnt have the best flavor tbh, the brisket in the pho was really tough, and my spicy vegan soup wasn't really spicy.

There's a hidden gem tucked away in Portland that goes by the name of Xinh Xinh, a Vietnamese bistro that has stolen my heart and captivated my taste buds. In a city brimming with culinary delights, Xinh Xinh stands out with its tantalizing array of soups, including the ever-popular Pho, Bun Bo Hue, and Wonton Soup. The secret behind the amazing flavors of these soups lies in the love and care Xinh Xinh puts into crafting their broths. It's evident that they take their time simmering and perfecting their recipes, steering clear of the shortcuts that involve instant soup powders. The result is a rich, fragrant broth that envelops your senses and warms your soul. But don't just take my word for it! My parents, who are quite selective and discerning when it comes to food, were genuinely impressed by Xinh Xinh's Bun Bo Hue. My father, who rarely approves of the meals I bring home, went out of his way to inquire about the origin of this delightful dish and even thanked me for introducing him to such a delectable treat. While I haven't had the opportunity to explore Xinh Xinh's entire menu yet, the soups alone have already secured the bistro a top spot on my list of favorite Vietnamese restaurants in Portland. In fact, I've tried many other establishments in the area, and none have managed to surpass the quality and flavor of Xinh Xinh's offerings. My only regret is not living closer to this incredible bistro. If you're in search of a truly satisfying and authentic Vietnamese dining experience, Xinh Xinh should be at the top of your must-visit list. One taste, and I'm confident you'll be just as enchanted as I am.

I'm 50/50 on this place. Wasn't the best pho, but also wasn't the worst. The pho tasted almost like it was pre-made, it didn't taste fresh and the noodles were all clumped together in a ball as if they just opened a pack of noodles and threw it in there. The spicy beef soup was just ok. It was spicy, but not unbearably spicy. The only thing that I really liked here was the meat bahn mi. It was packed with meat and tasted fresh. Other than that, this place was just ok!

This was a really cute place where you order at the counter and find a seat. It was pretty busy on a Saturday at lunch time, but we found a spot to sit. One full sandwich was $9.95 and I got a thai tea as well. The portions dont look like it would fill you up much but the food is ridiculously filling, I am about to go into a food coma typing this out. I really liked my vegan bbq tofu mushroom seitan bahn mi. I wouldnt really call it bbq but it was tasty and had a nice mouthfeel as well. Glad we tried this place out!

A restaurant off of Hawthorn with PARKING!? What!? For this reason alone, this place is worth the visit. Food here is reasonably priced and tasty. However, menus on Yelp are no longer accurate. I was looking forward to the satay pho I was seeing online but they didn't have that in store. I ordered the beef pho with sliced brisket and a Thai tea. Thai tea and pho go together so damn well. You have hot and savory matched with cold and sweet. The pho had excellent flavor however I was a bit disappointed at how little meat was in it. I think there was maybe 5 slices of beef in my pho. But besides that, a solid spot.

I had it delivered. Everything was packaged really well. The broth was great. They gave me so much middle and hardly any meat which was a huge let down. Not worth almost $19! I don't think I will be going again.

I guess I must of ordered a gourmet chicken sandwich because this cost me $10.45 but when I reached into my bag I pulled out half a sandwich. I looked inside the bag again for a 2nd take but nope that was it. Thought they packed it in two separate wraps. I should've gone to Lees sandwich instead of here. My last day here in Portland and as soon as I land in San Jose tomorrow I will treating myself to a similar sandwich $3.

Just ordered this place off a whim because I was craving a vermicelli bowl and it had pretty good reviews. Order came to my house within 30 minutes and the flavors are excellent! I ordered the chicken vermicelli and the portion is HUGE. I also ordered the potstickers and although a little more doughy than crispy, the flavor is delicious. My Thai ice tea was pretty light on the tea and heavy on the cream, but they can't control that per order because they pre-package them with sealed plastic over the top. Would have liked a bit more balance between tea and cream but everything else was really satisfying!

I like the looks of this place: small, woody/industrial. The menu has all the Vietnamese favorites. My guest and I each ordered a vermicelli bowl. The rice noodles were lovely, but overall lacking in flavor. Sure, there's sriracha and plum sauce on the table in their original bottles, so sauces not housemade, but even still missing some of that vinegar or lime astringency. Even my friend, who likes his food very mild, thought it was bland. The bahn mi being eaten at the next table looked tasty, so maybe that would've been a better choice, although now that I think if it, the place did not have the smell of long-simmering pho broth

Such a hidden gem outside of the normal restaurant districts of Portland. Tons of vegan options or items that can be easily vegan-ized, so your vegan friends will be very happy. We over-bought, but just couldn't help ourselves. We had the Hue Spicy soup vegan and the Hue Spicy Soup w/ beef. Instead of just some token vegetables like some carrot shavings and a handful of wilted spinach, the vegan version was loaded with fresh vegetables cooked perfectly al dente. My wife was in heaven. I had the beef version of the Hue soup and it tasted of fresh ginger, lemongrass, and these amazing spices. Exactly the warm comforting soup you would want on a rainy day or if you were home sick. Next, we split a Banh Mi Vegan with the Curry spiced tofu. It has a vegan mayonnaise with it so it is rich and delicious, not dry and flavorless as some vegan tofu sandwiches can be. The bread was fresh, crispy on the outside and warm and soft on the inside. Carrots, cilantro and jalapeño slices round out the flavor and the Curry was just the perfect spice addition to a normal Banh Mi flavor combination. Our drink was a hot jasmine tea that came in a cute ceramic pot with two stout tea cups. We didn't expect much, but even the tea was amazing! High quality tea when it could've been anything. The attention to detail and the love put into each menu item that we ordered was truly remarkable. The service was extremely friendly and helpful with us as newcomers. She patiently went through the menu items, what was in them and made great recommendations once she found out my wife was vegan. It is fast casual, but our food was brought out to us just like it would be at any sit down restaurant and we were even checked up on a few times to see if we needed anything else. I don't think I have had this pleasant of a dining experience in a long time. It felt like you were eating at a high class friend's house who also happened to be a Vietnamese star chef.

Got the Wow chicken wings, which were decent. Then we ordered the bun Bo hue and cowabunga pho, which I believe is the "Super Bowl". Both soup choices were lacking flavors and normally they would split the veggies by type of noodles you order. They mixed it all on the same plate here.

This place is delicious. We have come here before but ordered the wonton soup this time and it has to be my favorite thing I have ordered here.

Xinhxinh was absolutely incredible. Laid back counter service with authentic Vietnamese flavors. I had the Cowabunga pho which was like a combo pho. The broth was light but flavorful, the bean sprouts provided were snappy, and the meat tender. Also had the bun bo hue, a fragrant spicy broth with thicker rice noodles that had the perfect amount of herbacious spice. I also had the sesame balls, summer rolls, and an avocado smoothie. All were great. I definitely will be coming back.

The Lychee boba had no flavor, boba was mushy. The broth had a strong cinnamon/star anise smell. I really wish since I ordered beef pho that my broth was beef, give us options veggie pho too sweet for me. The whole meal was missing something on top of the cheap portions control. If I'm paying $15 for pho I shouldn't still be hungry after. The potsticker was ok, wouldn't reorder. The whole being given a fork and having to ask for chopsticks is do annoying to me. I would revisit, please teach your staff what edamame is, apparently I was speaking a foreign language when I asked

Countertop service and self serve water. Environment was clean and industrial with some Asian decor. I ordered their special beef pho, which met the minimum expectations; though it lacked tripe and other beef cuts you usually find in pho. Shrimp salad roll was generous with its shrimp, but nothing to write home about. I happened to be in the area, and was dire of getting my pho fix. Paid $28 and change for a bowl of pho and 2 salad rolls...a bit pricey. Again, it met the minimum expectations.

Best pho in portland (as rated by my Vietnamese husband)! Both for vegan and non vegan eaters. A must stop if you love Vietnamese cuisine!

I ordered the brisket pho when I was pretty sick last week and got it delivered even though it was walking distance (don't judge me) I bought a Bahn Mi for dinner as well and I enjoyed both. They gave a large amount of broth and saved some for later in the day. I can't speak to the service or ambiance as I got delivery but I will go back because I enjoyed everything.

Love their vermicelli. Huge portions and great value for what you're getting. Usually get it with the spring rolls and if I'm extra famished, add in a side of grilled pork. It's delicious.

Quite a small restaurant, maybe 4 indoor tables. Looks like there is lots more seating outside but on my visit it was storming with wind and rain. My husband and I ordered the fresh rolls (aka salad rolls) with shrimp and 2 soups, 1 beef pho and 1 spicy beef soup. Salad rolls were quite sad. You can see how little effort was put into this item. The shrimps are extra thin sliced and the lettuce part is finely shredded iceberg which falls apart and tastes pretty bland. The peanut dipping sauce was also a bit too thick. The soup had pretty good flavor, tasted fresh and was piping hot. However, I'd been hoping each would come with the usual pho sides, basil, bean sprouts, etc... but we were given only 1 side of this to share between the two of us. The chopsticks we were given are those slippery plastic kind that make for an incredibly difficult time when eating noodle soup. My husband was given the wrong WiFi password 3 times before the young woman staff member finally found out the correct password. The demeanor of this person was flippant. It was a wild goose chase to find the restroom, it's outside and around the building behind an unmarked door and you've got to take a huge frying pan with you to unlock it (key attached to large metal pan). Overall I was underwhelmed with my experience here and will continue my search for a favorite Portland pho spot.

Food is good and service is decently quick. I come here regularly because it's in my hood. It's a tiny bit more expensive than I want for what you get, but I guess that's partly inflation. Order at Counter type place. I like the outdoor seating. ​

My favorite banh mi in Portland. The vegan with "tork" is absolutely amazing. It's the first thing that actually tastes ti me like the pork char siu I had as a kid. The bread is exactly what I like. Fluffy inside but has that perfect, golden, thin crunchy outside. And they put the jalepeno on the side.

I was drawn in by the delicious smell of five spice powder and I'm glad that I went inside. We got a spring roll appetizer and two vermicelli bowls - we tried the barbecue pork and the vegan barbecue pork. Portions were ample.

Amazing broth, I can't stress that enough. It honestly didn't need hoisin sauce or sriracha. I got pho with tofu, it still has the beef broth though!

I really like the noodle soups at this place, especially the vegan Hue Soup! The Vietnamese coffee is like crack and they have a non-dairy version too.

this place is absolutely amazing, going to be a must have when i'm in portland from here on out. the soup was so filling & the mushrooms in it were delicious. quick, amazing service, everyone is so polite. they have a bathroom key to a bathroom around the side of the building, clean. 5 stars !!!

I love the bahn mi and spicy wings! One of my favorite take out spots in Portland. Usually easy to park.

Hole in the wall vietnamese but the find was great. We ordered chicken vermicelli and it was so good we ordered another to take home.

During a desperate search for a bomb Bánh Mì sandwich, I discovered XinhXinh Vietnamese Bistro ... and buzz-worthy, big-hearted customer service. Interacting with cool people is always cool, but it is just way cooler during a pandemic. :) As for the banh mi quest ... well, I tried a duo at XinhXinh. The first was bland & basic. Uh-oh... Luckily, a second was better thanks to a pair of fantastic (magical?) fried eggs. The Classic Bánh Mì / Đặc Biệt ($8.95) Sigh... boring and almost flavorless ... despite extra "mild" Jalapenos. Not much joy with this dry 3-star sandwich featuring Vietnamese Ham, Headcheese, and Pork Roll plus Pate, Cucumber slices and pickled Daikon & Carrots. XinhXinh Bánh Mì (10.95) It's the same basic bánh mì as the classic ... transformed to 4-stars with two brilliant fried eggs that brought flavor to the French Baguette laced with Mayo and stuffed with the meats & veggies. Bánh Mì are like relationships. They're better when shared with someone friendly and fun, but you never really know how great it will be until you're right in the middle of it. For me, I'm glad I discovered the fun and friendly team at XinhXinh plus the real value of adding 2 eggs for $2.

The pho was good, the meatballs were a bit tough but still good. I paid 6.50 for the salad rolls and I felt ripped off. It was 90% shredded lettuce, loosely wrapped and it fell apart.

I don't think we were meant to eat here the day we did. For some reason, I had it in my head that this place had xiao long bao, so when we got there and they did not, I was perplexed. My wife and I were both starving, so we decided to give it a shot anyhow. We got an order of salad rolls to share, I got an order of the spicy beef soup, and my wife ordered the traditional bahn mi sandwich. The food came reasonably quick, and the service was indifferent but efficient. Let's start with the good: the spicy beef soup was excellent. Rich, flavorful, and spicy enough to clear out your sinuses! I very much enjoyed it, throwing in all of the optional fixings they bring out on a plate... I ended up sharing it with my wife as well. Why? Well... The bad: the bahn mi. What... is... this? This sandwich was served with cold meat, on a cold bun, with no sauce to speak of. It had these layers of some kind of cured meat (we couldn't really figure out what it was), with a smattering of random greens, and overall did not taste good. She ate less than half, and then gave up. The meh: spring rolls were good, but nothing really to write home about. I don't know man... the stars were not aligned for us on this visit. Maybe just stick to the soup? Or maybe try it out and see for yourself...

A very cute Vietnamese restaurant. The chicken noodle salads and vegan bun Bo hue soup are my two go to favorite dishes here. The pho is also good for the area.

Amazing Vietnamese restaurant with really nice Vietnamese folks running it. I got Vegan Bun Bo Hue and got extra BHH sauté on side. It was delicious. Also the chicken pho is one of the best. Viet IPA beer was great too. Love the indoor and outdoor space.

Delicious salad rolls. The combination vermicelli bowl was amazing. I will definitely go back.

Not quite a fan, but because of a few annoyances, its just OK. My combo vermicelli bowl was a little pedestrian. The proteins on top were a little cool. My wife had beef brisket pho, and wasn't all that impressed. The large hot pot of tea came with complimentary macaroons(choice of flavours). My order of spicy wow wow wings were very good. But....... when that door opens up to let people in and out, you will feel the cold draft. Also, the bathroom is shared with other establishments which means its a trek outside with a shared key stashed at the counter. Very friendly and generous staff. Not sure about Wi Fi. Parking is street or lot. Personally, I have too many choices within walking distance for the same meal to want to come back here.
