this place has truly gone downhill i. the last two years. last night i ordered delivery, two fried rice with bbq brisket. called the store to confirm the delivery. what i got were two orders of beef pho. when i called the restaurant, the lady said they only way she could help me is if i came and picked up the right order, mind you i wasn’t trying to leave hence me ordering delivery initially. I just said okay whatever, confirmed the proper order, and went to get it. Remake wasn’t ready after 15 minutes. when the food was finally ready they did give me a bunch of extra food to compensate for wasting my money and time. The rice i had ordered wasn’t bbq at all and the beef was mostly still raw in the rice. The rice had some hair in it as well. The boba smoothie were also nasty and lackluster. They also were not on the website and i had to call and order these separately to get them delivered. Why aren’t your drinks listed on the website???? Probably will start eating getting pho kim going forward. bambu has messed up a few times in a row now.

This is probably better than a 4.3, for what it is. They don't have a very expansive menu but what they do have is pretty good. I was amazed to find Pho with tripe and tendon, let alone it was cooked properly. That alone is worth a return trip. No pics this time.

If you're looking for fresh, delicious Vietnamese food, you've got to try this place. The food is yummy and authentic. They are currently hiring a server, so patience may be required m but so far for us, everything has gone smoothly.
These images are of the new menu.
We just went again and I have included a photo of the chicken curry soup, served with vermicelli (or rice). And my husband pho. 🥰
I love the vermicelli and chicken. My husband got a beef, vegetables, and rice that was super good.
