Finally made it in for a late lunch with my friends. Food was great. Their restaurant was pretty quiet. Food came out quickly! I had pork Bahn mi sandwich... it was just okay. The French bread was a little more dry than I like and the sandwich could have had more meat in it. My friends ordered their vermicelli salad and appetizer platter and extra spring rolls. All of which were good!
I'm going to stick to what I normally order and go to Bahn Mi My Tho for sandwiches.

Ok food, terrible experience. The first time I went, I chalked it up to a bad night. A misunderstanding led to us overpaying for food we didn't order. That's fine. We were hungry and were able to take home leftovers. A $40 meal turned into $75. That sucks but I guess it's on us... since they refused to take the extra food back.
The second time, well I don't know... came in 40 minutes before close and we were turned away. Apparently their hours are not what they have posted. So make sure you get there 90 minutes in advance so you'll have plenty of time to order your bowl of soup. I guess they need to prep the sprouts or carefully cut the limes.
No big deal...plenty of other options in the area.
P.S. - clean your walls they are covered in grease and splatter.

I got the Superbowl (N1). The broth was satisfying, and the meat was very well seasoned and cooked. The massive short rib bone was delicious and even fun to eat.
For me, the noodles were a bit too soft though, but I will come back to be sure.edit: I came back weeks later and still too soft :(

Come here for the vermicelli bowl! It's delicious, and really refreshing. The pho is okay but anytime I get the pho, I wish I got the vermicelli bowl.
The service is fine. They'll drop off your food and check up on you once, which is sufficient. I don't like to constantly be disrupted during my meal.
I've never had any issues with understanding the employees.

Ordered lunch over the phone and the girl that took my order did not understand the order that I read off the menu. When I get to the restaurant she said it would be 5 minutes. At this point I reviewed the order to ensure she got it right. She did not 😞. I went over the order with her again. Now I have to wait another 10 minutes. This is not okay when I have 30 minutes for lunch. Very fustrating

I ordered the "Super Bowl" pho. Only after the whole thing I found a half-chewed shrimp tail hid in the broth. So it's either they put shrimp in their pho broth, which is very much not authentic. Or it is what I suspecting that they got food scrap in my food.
After researching, it is common practice to reboil food scraps into the broth repeatedly overtime to make good pho broth. However, I would not imagine it would be very much sanitary nor safe for a restaurant to do so.
I assumed there won't be any shrimp tails (not to mentioned half-chewed). Since I have a slight food intolerance towards shellfish, and I ordered this over the phone and picked the order up myself, I started to call them to confirm (or to confront?) whether it is food scrap or ingredient. However, they just won't pick up on a Thursday night at 7 PM.

Newly remodeled. Staff was great, super attentive and patient. Even tried their best to accommodate a family that came in and asked for chow mein. Broth was great. Had a fever on a hot day and this was great in helping me get over it. Will have to return with the family.

Viet Phomula is fantastic! We were in the area for the farmer's market and found this little gem just a few doors away.
The portions are really good and the Vietnamese coffee is perfect! It was just renovated and it looks great!
