"This food was amazing. It tasted fresh of the grill. The veggies are always fresh. This was so good I will definitely be back more frequently. I've tried the shrimp lettuce wrap but wasnt a fan. The pho was amazing. Loved the takeout packaging. I got a smoothie on a cold rainy day bc I couldnt pass up on a soursop mango, i add mango and boba to it and it was delicious. The service is great and pretty fast."
"Always a good experience here. This was my first time trying the noodle bowl and shrimp tempura. This is always a busy place but the food never disappoints. And if you enjoy a good bubble tea, they have many options including Thai tea."

Visit Restaurant Page"The banh mi and salad dish were fresh and authentic ! This is a casual eatery and I got ours to go. Next time I want to enjoy a bowl of pho. The staff was extremely kind and the order came out quickly for a busy Friday night. I can't wait to go back."
"I came for the Saturday Vietnamese specials, along with everyone else in Durham apparently - the line was out the door! I got the hu tieu and two sticky rice-based snacks (banh chung and xoi muoi me).They weren't bad, and were certainly better than any other Vietnamese place in Durham, but taste-wise I'd still drive to Cary/Morrisville for a few places over eating here. However, Cary and Morrisville are not walking distance from my house, so I'm sure I'll be back.The hu tieu was comforting but kind of over-celeried in the broth. It did have a ton of ground pork and the shrimps were sizable and sweet.I preferred the banh chung in the battle of the sticky rice dishes - but I'm a sucker for anything wrapped in a banana leaf."
"This is a cute little restaurant on Franklin Street. The service is fast and the waiter and waitress are very nice. Everyone in our party ordered ramen and we customized our own. I liked the ramen broth. It wasn't too salty. The prices are reasonable too. We didn't have reservations but we're seated quickly.On a side note, my cousin is breastfeeding and asked for ice and they gave her an entire one gallon ziplock bag. When we were in NYC, the waitstaff gave her 5 ice cubes.I would definitely come back here when I am in Chapel Hill again."
"Great spot to get some really good noodles and dumplings. The service was really good, food came out hot and fast. I really liked that it felt upscale with a lot of room. Everything was excellent."
"I came during their soft opening as I haven't found a single Banh mi place in the Triangle I even remotely like. Hands down, this is the best banh mi place we have in the area so far! No question about it. However that doesn't mean it is the best I've had. If they changed just a few things then I think it would go from good to great. The pros here are that they bake their own bread! The bread is so important and if all the places I've tried in the Triangle their bread is the best. The overall flavors are delicious but definitely lacking components that would make it stand out. They offer pate however it is not in every sandwich option and is a $1 charge if you choose to add it on. Also there just wasn't that much of it. I didn't really notice it in my sandwich. The mayo could have been more rich and again there could have been more of it. Lastly there definitely wasn't enough garnish (cilantro or pickled veggies). I will try asking for more next time. Overall it will hit your banh mi craving, but I really hope the owners consider these areas for improvement!"
"As a Californian, it's so hard to be impressed with sushi in many other states, but this place was AMAZING! I love that they had both pho and sushi options and everything was so tasty and authentic tasting. Prices are also quite reasonable. I definitely recommend this place for anyone craving Asian fusion."
"Note: Queen of Pho was renamed to Siamzap Pho on Yelp within the past couple weeks. This review describes our visit under the Queen of Pho business name.In this area, which is a pho desert, for the pho and service alone, Queen of Pho was decent. In Chapel Hill, we liked the pho at Queen of Pho better than the pho at Pho Happiness on West Franklin St: https://www.yelp.com/biz/pho-happiness-chapel-hill.The Goi Cuon (fresh spring rolls) and Bun Bo Hue (Hue-style noodle soup) left something to be desired.We appreciated our server Vicky's honesty. Honest almost to a fault (more on that below). Overall, service was top-notch from everyone including Vicky, her kids, and the kind folks in the kitchen. This is very much a humble, mom-and-pop business. The dishes came out fast, especially the pho.Here's what we got:A1. Saigon Fresh Rolls - Goi Cuon (2 for $5.99) - protein (we chose pork) wrapped in rice paper with lettuce and steamed vermicelli, served with peanut sauceP7. Pho Beef Combination - Pho Dac Biet x2 (medium bowl, $12.99 each) - beef broth, cooked 100% from beef bone (not instant), rice noodles, green and yellow onion, basil, bean sprouts, lime (seasonal); meats described belowP12. Hue Style Spicy Beef Soup - Bun Bo Hue (medium bowl, $12.99) - pho noodles, beef shank, mixed beef, pork, and shrimp brothThe amount of meat in the Goi Cuon was sad. Miniscule. Really thin slices of pork, not even close to any of the other Goi Cuon I've had. I do think it's nice they give you different protein options: shrimp, pork, chicken, tofu. Most Vietnamese restaurants I've been to don't offer that. And the rolls were indeed made fresh. However, the meat was close to non-existent and therefore, the rolls were more like eating vermicelli and shredded lettuce rice wraps.Whenever I order pho, I like to get the Pho Dac Biet, which is pho with everything. Here that means rare eye round steak, beef shank, fatty brisket, tripe (beef stomach), and beef tendon meatball. The broth was delicious. It tasted genuine. The meat quality was good. I think the portions could have been better, but they were fair for the price. In general, I thought the prices were reasonable.The veggie quality was good too. The only veggie that was missing was culantro, but around these parts, I'm not surprised. On the menu, I like how they say the lime is "seasonal" because pretty much every other pho restaurant I've been to that has served lemon instead of lime doesn't say why.As far as bowl sizing goes, it's relative and subjective, but I think Queen of Pho's three bowl sizes should be small, medium, and large instead of medium, large, and extra large. In other words, our "medium" bowls felt more like "small" bowls, to give you an idea of what to expect.The Bun Bo Hue was disappointing. It was too spicy. I love spicy food and it was too spicy, even for me. I did order it after reading the warning on the menu: "KINDLY BE AWARE IT'S VERY HOT SPICY!!!" Our server Vicky warned me too. So, I was okay taking the loss and ordering a second Pho Dac Biet to eat in its place.Spice aside, Queen of Pho's Bun Bo Hue was unlike any I've seen. Vicky was real with us and said the reason they serve pho noodles in their Bun Bo Hue instead of the traditional, rounder, thicker rice noodles is because of the lack of demand for Bun Bo Hue at their restaurant. In this area, that's understandable. After hearing about how spicy the Bun Bo Hue was and how they use pho noodles in it, I considered ordering one of the vermicelli (bun) dishes. Vicky told us they were out of the pickled carrots and daikon radish along with some other ingredient(s) that normally go with bun. Again, we appreciated Vicky's honesty, but I was starting to run out of options to order!We saw Vietnamese sandwiches (banh mi) on the picture menu, but during our visit, Vicky said they weren't serving banh mi either.Along with the aforementioned dishes, Queen of Pho serves stir-fried egg noodles (mi), Vietnamese crispy egg noodles (mi xao gion), and rice (com) and fried rice (com chien) dishes. They also offer Vietnamese smoothies (sinh to) with boba and Vietnamese iced coffee (ca phe sua da). If you're familiar with Vietnamese food, I'd come here with tempered expectations. I think you can only expect so much in this area.Queen of Pho opened in March 2017 in the Timberlyne Village (Food Lion) shopping center near I-40 exit 266. It replaced the old Queen of Sheba Ethiopian restaurant: https://www.yelp.com/biz/queen-of-sheba-chapel-hill."
"My favorite pho place around me! It's located in an unassuming parking lot. You might not have paid any attention even if you drove past by it many many times. I never knew this place was off of S. Miami Blvd until I was looking for a pho place one day on Yelp. It's a small restaurant with no fancy frills, but I always enjoy the food I get from Bowl of Pho. I've tried many different dishes, and I loved every single dish I had from here. My latest favorite is Vermicelli Noodle Bowl with pork. I love the combination of cold noodles and veggies with warm pork on them. The sauce that it comes with makes the noodles brighter! You order from your table, but you pay at the cash register. They also sell random tiny snacks and toys at the register for you to purchase. I hope they continue to sell dank food because I'm not going anywhere!!! :)"

Loved the Bahn Mi Pork Sandwich, shrimp spring rolls were pretty flavorless, would have been better with some cilantro, even the peanut sauce didn't add much. I will definitely expand and try more from here. This was a door dash order and I was hungry so no pics but I will order again and add pics as I go. Also, the door dasher did a great job.

Not badIs their pho good? No. But pho must be taken in context. Considering the options in the area, the pho is passable. Would eat if hungry. I liked their broth. Decent portion sizes and okay prices. The main issue is that the noodles came in a congealed block that only loosened after a few minutes of wrangling within the broth. If the noodles aint fresh, at least have the courtesy to loosening them up before serving lolol. Also we had to ask for bean sprouts on the side. Bean sprouts are essential and should be automatically given. Aaaaaaaaaaaaand they ran out of basil (bruh)

This might be some of the worst Vietnamese food I've ever had. We ordered some food to bring on our flight back to Newark, but I don't think it would have tasted any better even if we had eaten it fresh. We had:-Spring Rolls - these were a joke. I've had spring rolls from a supermarket freezer that tasted better than this. I was also under the impression that these would have meat in them (like the typical Vietnamese spring rolls) but they were just spring rolls with a sad portion of cabbage/carrots inside-Pork Banh Mi - this wasn't bad but it wasn't great. It was the best item we ordered of the bunch, but is smaller than the typical banh mi-Salad Noodle Bowl with Chicken - they make this with bits of chicken breast (as opposed to a whole boneless thigh) and it was so dry. It also tasted old, like they microwaved it to heat it upPortions are small. An order like this would usually be able to feed me and my husband, but we were still hungry afterwards and ended up spending money on airport food anyway.

Atmosphere: Banh's Cuisine is a hole-in-the-wall restaurant on 9th Street with an intimate and local vibe. Definitely a slept-on spot in Durham.Service: Ordering and receiving food is easy, and everything comes out quick and fresh!Food: We've tried several of their Saturday Specials -- the Hu Tieu (#1, pork, shrimp, celery, ground peanut in rice noodle soup), Bun Thang (#2, rice noodle soup with shredded chicken, egg, pork), and Roast Pork Steamed Bun (#4) -- as well as the Sesame Chicken. The soups were warm, filling, and light! We especially liked the Bun Thang, which was more savory and had tender bits of chicken. The Sesame Chicken was also a filling meal for a great price. Overall: Banh's Cuisine is such a wholesome, feel-good spot. With reasonable prices and delicious food, this is easily a standout not only on 9th Street, but in the Triangle area as a whole!

Nice, homey establishment with great Vietnamese food! I ordered the Vietnamese noodle salad with beef, and it arrived with a good portion of meat, noodles, and veggies! The noodle salad was light and refreshing, and the sauce that it comes with is so tasty. Nothing too much to complain about. Would definitely come back again for another meal!

Came here for lunch on a Wednesday with my daughter. It was super quiet. The decor is lovely with brick walls and pretty lights hanging from the ceiling. Service was great, very attentive. I recommend the wonton soup and the Malaysian curry with roti to start. I would skip the half fried pork dumplings which are kind of like doughy meatballs. The waiter said they are boiled then fried on the bottom. They were too dense for my taste.I also ordered an extra Malaysian curry with roti to go as well as sesame tofu with rice and egg roll. Not bad. The tofu is fried and slightly sweet. I'll try noodles the next time I come here!

Very clean business. Staff are friendly and attentive. They offer buy 1 get 1 sushi rolls. Also tried the Pad Thai with shrimp which was excellent.
Visit Restaurant Page"Full disclosure: this review is gonna be biased because I had just gotten off a plane and didn't eat before my 4 hour morning flight.Absolutely delicious. There was a customer that was moving a bit slow in front of me, and like I said, starving, so I walked to the computer to order myself. Boom, bahn mi, veg beef, pickled veggies, cucumbers, jalapenos and spicy mayo. You can get six toppings and a sauce, but I wanted to go og. Popped on a Thai tea and sat down in not a plane: the place was quiet, comfy and chill: exactly what I needed after a business trip.My food came out and they brought it to me (super nice I wonder how tired I looked) and I tore into it: spectacular. The bread was soft and chewy, the meat was tender and flavorful: veggies wonderful and the spicy mayo a perfect cream/spice. Loved every moment: only complaint, the daikon was shown but missing, and again, I was famished so I didn't even care. Bless this delicious spot less than 10 min from the Raleigh airport en route to the triad."
"I've been looking for a good Banh Mi in the Triangle area and Bonjour Bánh Mi & Tea delivered! They make the bread that they use for their Bánh Mi fresh in the restaurant every day I honestly couldn't decide whether I liked the grilled pork or the bulgogi side better because they were both packed with so much flavor. Julius and I were also huge fans of the combination vermicelli noodle plate! My only regret is not trying any of the Boba or milk tea, but I will absolutely be back soon to check out some of the other menu items and fulfill my Banh Mi cravings.Make sure y'all check them out soon -- the owner is also super nice!"
"This is by far the best Pho in Durham. It's also one of the better bowls of Pho in the Triangle. The broth is well-balanced with a beefy and herby taste. The selection of meat is my least favorite part but they do use quality cuts of meat, from the meatballs to the steak. My only complaint is that sometimes there's no tendon. Overall, a great bowl of Pho! Also, I enjoy the way this place works. You place your order at the front and they bring it out to you."
"This is our go to spot for our date night out. The atmosphere is laid back, you get to pick your own table, the restaurant is super clean and the pho is delicious. I had the seafood pho, it was hot, flavorful and full of seafood goodness. Hubby had pork vermicelli bowl with egg roll and he was so happy. I believe the restaurant has changed owners quite a bit over the past ten years but the food is always delicious and the staff are kind, sweet and efficient. Love this place."
"I'm upping them to 5 stars because they are my favorite Vietnamese restaurant in the Cary area! I constantly eat here whether take out or dining in! My favorite are still the spring rolls (chao gio) because they make them with rice paper and it's perfect every time. I love that it comes with herbs and lettuce too if you want to wrap them. As for the dishes the best part is the variety of dishes here! I love that they have Banh cuon so much and hope they never get rid of it. We've tried the Banh hoi here too and it's delicious. The pho is not the best pho I've ever had but it will hit the spot if you're craving it. I still avoid the bun Bo hue here, so that's one thing I can't recommend. Service is casual, quick, and they're kind! All around, I love this place."
"Best/authentic pho in the Raleigh-Area. Service is pretty quick. They renovated a little bit."
"The Pho was decent but not amazing. The Thai tea was okay as well. Large dining room that is well decorated."
"TLDR: Good Vietnamese food and boba tea in Holly Springs. Reasonable prices and portions. Fresh ingredients. Friendly, efficient service. Yum, delicious Vietnamese food in Holly Springs. Bep is easy to locate with parking available in nearby lots or along the street. I stopped here on a weekend evening for dinner having ordered online for pick-up. Estimated pick-up time was 30 minutes. The menu is full of delicious sounding items making it difficult to decide. We ended up choosing the grilled tofu vermicelli bowl ($13.95), tofu roll ($6.95), and pho ga bowl ($13.95). We enjoyed each of the items including the accompanying sauces. Prices and portions are reasonable. Plus the items were packaged well. That being said I would have liked if the tofu rolls were not wrapped in Saran wrap. Seems wasteful and unnecessary since there are other ways to keep them from sticking. Only other suggestion I have is that they read the order notes. I included a note in two places on the online order (since I was not sure which space to put it) and neither was read or acknowledged. I asked when picking up the order and they hadn't even seen the note. It may not have printed with the order. Therefore, if there is anything important that you need the kitchen to know, I would recommend calling to place the order or dining in. When I arrived to pick up the order I was greeted by a friendly employee at the counter. My order was retrieved quickly and was accurate. Overall, we enjoyed our meal and recommend this restaurant to others!"
"Great portion and quality for what you pay. I had the grilled pork rice noodle and it was so flavorful. The rice noodle had a spring roll (fried pork) cut up into small bite size pieces. I usually do not enjoy fried spring rolls, but this one was different. It's more like a pork sausage instead of various vegetables and glass noodles wrapped. Note that Google maps at this time, led me to the wrong parking lot. The restaurant is located in the same plaza as Popeyes facing Capital Blvd."
"On my most recent visit, I ordered Goi Cuon as an appetizer and Pho Dac Biet as my entree. Although the space is small, there are many tables for seating and our group was seated promptly. The food came out very quickly as well, but I never felt rushed in any way. The service was very friendly, very prompt, and they were quick to bring out things we requested (such as an extra bowl and extra silverware).The food was excellent here. The pho broth had great flavor, the portion size was very generous, and the meats and toppings were all good quality and plentiful. The pricing was reasonable for what I got as well.In my opinion, this is probably one of the best places, if not the best place, to get pho in the Triangle area."
"Very last minute decision to go to Jujube after a long day at the office, and we live on the other side of town. Better to enjoy some delicious bites and a cocktail than sit in traffic on 40! While I feel it's slightly difficult approach this location, everything after that was amazing. Early dinner on a Monday, got right in on the simple yet lovely outdoor patio. Host was kind, service was great. We started with the short rib goat cheese wontons and they were just right. Salty, sweet, creamy, slight spice to the sauce. Five total in an order. Very generous for a starter.I went all in and got the lemongrass hanger steak. My husband got the beef bulgogi. Both were so yummy! The hanger steak was simple. Perfectly cooked, sea salt, lemon grass (naturally) with a side of peanut sauce and the most amazing cucumber salad I've ever had. As a lover of peanut sauce, I still could've done without it. The steak was great alone. The beer bulgogi was smokey, delicious. We finished with the chocolate mousse with cookie crumbles. It was good, but I honestly enjoyed the main dishes much more. More and more, service is key for me. They were celebrating their 18th anniversary (I think) at jujube this day and I can see why. Just a great, genuine overall delicious experience. I can't wait to return and wait out traffic. I'd also go out of my way to eat there again."
"Pho 919 is a hidden gem in morrisville. Kind staff and high quality food. I ordered the pork vermicelli noodle bowl with egg rolls, and my boyfriend ordered the beef pho. The pork bowl was incredibly tasty, and contained a lot of meat/egg rolls/noodles. The pho had an incredibly deep flavor which is hard to find in this area. I would definitely go back again."
"Want a beautiful & chic spot for date night or a night out with friends, come to La Montaña! This recently opened and when I tell you, the vibes are grown and sexy! The service was top tier and the staff pays great attention to you and your needs. We opted for their tequila flights, but we will definitely be back to try out their cocktails. Chose the La Familia tequila flight because I don't care much for Mezcal which was part of the other flights. Great way to start our night. The food was full of flavor, presentation was beautiful, & the head Chef/owner came out to speak to everyone in the restaurant. He was very pleasant to talk to & was very welcoming. We will be back to try more tequila & try other dishes!"
"This place is always busy! I have come twice so far. I really like the pho here. Not as good as pho far east but still good. I ordered pho and a side of rice. The beef rib pho is also good too. The place is well kept and all the wait staff make sure you are ok and taken care of which is nice. I came here because this is convenient to my home and needed soup from my upset stomach. Worth a visit if you're craving pho."
"I've now ordered Anise Pho quite a few times for delivery! I will say that every time the food arrives hot and well packaged. My go to is the pho. My husband always goes for the noodle bowl with bbq pork. Both are excellent options! I always want to try other things when I order, but I just gravitate towards those old favorites. Highly recommend as a great delivery option."
