Xankia

Also good food, usually get it to go a lot and the meat is already in the pho and cooked. When you order online be cautious about the time, it usually takes a little longer than stated but it's always fresh and hot then. Inside is a nice place to sit and enjoy your meal. They have plenty of tables and a counter bar.

This restaurant is small but cute and clean! Came in on a Thursday night around 5pm, no wait and only customers. The banh mi was not anything special, too much bread and not enough fillings. The pho was decent, broth was pretty flavorful and good base, on the sweeter side. They definitely skimped out on the noodles and side veggies/toppings (was given approximately 3 individual leaves of basil). I do want to try their appetizers so I will be back but there is definitely better pho in the MKE area, but this does satisfy the initial craving. If it weren't a block away from me, I would skip it.

As I'm half Vietnamese, I always geek out when I see there's a Vietnamese restaurant. We were in Milwaukee for the weekend and decided to grab food here the first night we stayed. We ordered 2 banh mi, one house special and the other the grilled pork. We also ordered 2 Thai iced tea and an order of spring rolls. When we ordered, we ordered online, and for some reason it was pushed to the next day. But we called and the staff quickly rectified it and we were able to pick up our food the same night. As far as the foods, I think my favorite was the Thai iced tea and the spring rolls. Unfortunately, my husband and I found the banh mis to be a bit hard, and rather sour in flavor which is not what we're used to. Overall the staff was great, it was not for me, but when in the area I may come by and try their pho in person. Also note that on the weekend, they do ID at night. The night we came they had a karaoke party going on.

Came for the pho. Heard the broth was rich and flavorful. It was really good. Great portions. Inside decor is cute and it was fun that they had karaoke set up. Even the staff sang some songs and they were really good. Would come back for food for sure!

I came here for a party, for a build your own pho bar, plus egg rolls and banh mi sandwiches! We were a large party, service was excellent. I think our group mostly took over the restaurant. The food is authentic Vietnamese, and something for everyone. Great location and Vietnamese food. I'd like to go again and try more. :)

This review is based off of a takeout order.Ordered take out pho from here one evening. I called in during my drive and it was done about 5 minutes after I arrived. The pho itself was one of the better ones I've had around the area. However, they really lacked on all the veggies. Not sure if it was because it was a takeout order or if they usually don't give that much anyway, but definitely was a bit shocked when building my bowl of pho. I also couldn't help noticing all the spelling errors for "banh mi" spelled "bahn". I get typos on menus and when you mass print those it gets spendy to just fix a small error, but these were what seemed like handwritten signs throughout the restaurant. Let's use the proper spelling for our foods, please!!

Had the Pho Ga and 1/2 Bahn Mi steak sandwich. The Pho was rich with layers of flavor, great broth. The sandwich was good as well. Service was adequate, but nothing special either way. Had a comfortable atmosphere overall. I didn't care for the high top chairs, they were a bit uncomfortable to me. The real story here is the value, great value for lunch with decent portions.

One of my favorite pho spots in the city!! A must especially when it's cold outside to get delicious food in your belly! I would also recommend the bbq pork spring rolls.

Quality and taste of food is great. This is the spot for tasty Vietnamese food. You can't go wrong with this place.!

Update is that Xankia has BY A HUGE MARGIN the best Pho in the Milwaukee area.Everything else is also excellent: Egg rolls, pork buns, bahn mi, stir-fries.And zero complaints about service. Have now been there over a dozen times.
