I had the vermicelli noodles with chicken and it was amazing! I loved all the vegetables they put in the dish. The best vermicelli noodles I’ve ever had and highly recommend trying them.

Legit Vietnamese taste. Pho Broth is delicious. The atmosphere is relaxed, you can eat in the courtyard. Definitely recommend if you're in SB and looking for Viet food.

Very happy we found this place hidden away in a courtyard off state st. Everything about it is great and we've been coming daily during our stay in Santa barbara. The banh mi is so good, as is the veggie pho. And surprisingly the toffee brownie is incredible, I did not expect that from a pho place and if it's made in-house then they need to open a bakery too.

Stingy portions, long wait times, not worth the price. I ordered a large beef pho and for the price ($19), I was very disappointed. The portions are very small. I weigh 98 lbs. and even I thought the less than 1 cup of noodles they give you just isn't enough or worth the extra $$$. If you order to go, they don't give you chopsticks or utensils. The ambience and courtyard seating is charming. The vermicelli dish is super tasty. But the pho is honestly underwhelming and bland.

If you like bad pho and want to be insulted, this is the best place. The pho tasted like MSG. It's way overpriced for a plain bowl of soup. Larg pho is 15.99 plus 30% tip /tax without veggies. The 32oz large bowl size is small in other places.The owner and the waiter were extremely rude when I asked why he forgot my soup veggies. There are better phos in town.

Food is fine, but far too expensive. With tip, nearly 20 dollars for a bahn mi! Sandwich was poorly made and spills everywhere. Absolutely would not recommend.

Vegetarian options: I honestly cannot remember when I tasted a meal that was so carefully created. I don’t think I can ever get enough of this. The ingredients are so incredibly fresh and flavor filled with every bite. Each time I have eaten there I have left feeling full of energy and totally uplifted.

Vegan banh mi is gross. Their "house sauce" is maggi seasoning which is basically salt sauce with artificial flavor. Tofu is raw. Didn't even try it. Do not recommend.

Honestly a little confusing to get here but really really tasty food. Can taste the freshness of ingredients and the people here actually care.The beef pho was fire, and had just enough noodles and beef - the vegan pho even almost had a better flavor than the beef pho which is surprising.Had a vegan banh mi and bulgogi and honestly thought they weren’t going to deliver on that but was super flavorful and the bread was really fresh. Wish if wasn’t so far!

Super clean and fresh.No MSG!!!! Seems like 99% all Pho places spike their broth with MONOSODIUM GLUTIMATE as a cheap way to add flavor. They do not. The one star reviewer before me probably likes MSG I don't. The veggie spring rolls were as good as I've ever had. I'm headed back again today...PHO for breakfast!! They open at 10 am.

I’ve came here a couple times and they have really good pho, so tasty and delicious. The taro boba is also really good! I recommend this place. My boyfriend and his family love it.
