Ordered the BM6 (Lemongrass Beef Banh Mi) with a milk iced coffee, - the beef was flavorful and all the herbs and pickles tasted extremely fresh. Amazing food and very grateful to have gotten to stop in while in the area - highly recommend . One note: only a couple small tables/chairs inside, so definitely order takeaway or not for large groups.

Happy to have found this place. The pho was the best and the chicken lemongrass sandwich was amazing. Spring rolls had great flavor, make sure you mix that hot sauce with the peanut butter sauce... so delicious! Packaging was great and they even give you a disposable pho spoon

Seriously, one of the best sandwiches I've had in years. Hole in the wall place but was fresh, super flavorful food and decently priced for what you get. Everyone liked what they got.

My husband and I are on a trip from Wyoming to D.C. While passing through Ohio, I started craving pho. So, when we got near Akron, I looked up some pho spots — and we found a restaurant with great ratings. Let me tell you, the ratings didn’t lie! The pho was amazing, and we also tried their milk boba — both were excellent! I’d definitely recommend this place if you’re ever in the area.

Really enjoyed this clean and tasty (mostly to go) restaurant. First they do have two small tables, but everything comes to you so neatly packaged to eat elsewhere. The pho was very good. I was really impressed with how well they kept everything either hot or cool. You even get chopsticks and a great plastic soup spoon. I had the pho with beef and a mango milk tea with boba. They do not skimp on all the vegetables and side items to customize your pho, they even have an ample container with both Sriracha and hoisin sauces. The mango tea was outstanding! A perfect end to my meal. I took a lemongrass beef bahn mi sandwich to go. My Husband loved it. Bread with fresh. They are very clean and the service was attentive and polite. 100% recommend . I also think it would be smart to online order if you do not plan on eating there . Only two small tables for 2.

Hue Banh Mi & Pho Cafe is the epitome of small but mighty. I have NEVER had such delicious Vietnamese food since the days where I would go to my best friend's house and his mom would always cook breakfast, lunch, and/or dinner for our high school sleep overs! A friend highly recommended I come here to try their Banh Mi sandwiches, but when I got there and saw the menu, I knew I had to order so much more! I ended up grabbing lunch for my family and myself and even got more to have for dinner later! My order and my thoughts!: 1) Bun thit nuong with spicy fish sauce: WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?!? This is hands-down the BEST place to order this dish in all of Cleveland and Akron. I haven't had a version of this dish that tasted so much like it was made with care and love -like a homemade meal made by mom. The ingredients were packed in the bowl so I know they want me to EAT! They were also carefully packaged to make sure certain ingredients didn't mix before I was ready to eat, so I know they are conscious of customer experience! I'm SO glad I got the spicy fish sauce because the flavor was out of this world, I could probably eat this at least twice every day if I could. Everything was cooked just right: the noodles, the pork, and everything blended so well! 2) Summer Roll (Goi Cuon): I have NEVER seen a summer roll packed to the seams with the ratio of ingredients so perfectly balanced. Not only was each bite a mouthful, it tasted DELICIOUS. You get a choice between peanut or peanut-free sauce, which is so considerate of them. I had to get the peanut sauce and oh my gosh, it was better than I expected. Which explains why they put it in a larger container. It's like they know someone is gonna ask for extra! Also, I believe I tasted a light brush of sesame oil on the rice paper which not only added a beautiful gleam to its appearance, but also the right flavor boost! Not that it needed it. It was perfection 3)Special (Pho Đac Biet): I ordered this for my parents because they are soup folks! When I brought it home to them and we unpacked it, I was so amazed by the level of care they put into packaging the ingredients separately so as to not dilute or mix any flavors before it needed to be. They also weren't shy with the ingredients! It was a FULL bowl, something my parents definitely appreciated -so you have the Bondad parental approval After we assembled it all, I couldn't help but sneak a bite/slurp, and omg I know what I'll be ordering next time! EVERYTHING tasted so fresh despite me driving 45 minutes from the restaurant to my parents' house -so that speaks volumes of the quality of their ingredients. The taste was yet another hug and welcome into their home. You can tell how much someone cares by the food that they make for you, and this place CARES. 4) Lemongrass Beef (Banh Mi Bo Nuong Sa): First of all, I did not know there would be so many kinds to order from because every restaurant I have seen only has 1-2 types! So of course i had to try one I have never seen before! ABSOLUTLEY NO REGRETS. The pate itself added so much flavor and balance to the sandwich overall. Each individual element of the sandwich was something I could actually taste and name off. And it was a HUGE sandwich! If you made it this far into the review, I hope you're realizing how much I've come to love this place. And if nothing has convinced you yet, let the Banh Mi do its job 5) Thai Tea bubble tea: I love boba, so it's no surprise I had to try this. The condensed milk that i could already taste from the first sip wasevidence enough that they know what they are doing! The boba pearls were cooked perfectly and had the right consistency and chew! And the flavor?!? Exactly how homemade thai tea tastes. Perfectly sized to satisfy my sweet tooth too! I'm sad I live kinda far from it, but it's not far from my gym, so if there's something life is teaching me with this, it's that when you lose some (calories) you will also need to gain some (calories and happiness) . Come here and taste REAL Vietnamese food!

Friend mentioned this place and I gave it a go. It surprised me how a restaurant could make Bun Bo Hue kinda like in a fast food way. Pho, pork, and Vietnamese Milk Coffee were great. The restaurant also serves appetiser like egg rolls and rice noodle shrimp rolls, Vietnamese sandwiches, rice and protein meals, coffee and bubble tea and other pho meals. The restaurant itself is primarily for takeout but it does have 2 tables, each with 2 chairs, so if you’re lucky enough where you visit during less busier times, you might have your spot to dine. Service was quick, kind, and informative about additional information regarding the restaurant. Also, this restaurant is located in an Asian restaurant plaza and is about a 15-minute walk from KSU’s new business administration building. So if you’re a Flash student looking for some lunch but craving for Vietnamese, this place and the entire plaza where the restaurant lays might be your go-to. Definitely recommend for KSU students on long breaks within the Northeast side of campus.

Fresh, flavorful, and delicious! We drove 45 mins for the Bahn mi and was delightfully surprised at how good the rest of the menu was, so we got some steamed buns and pho! The Macha tapioca tea was also delicious. The staff was friendly and helpful, the service was fast. We will return!!
