Banh Mi & Tea - Glasgow

Gniddew Liame

Always walked past and we finally visited during one of the very cold January evenings and I have to say it doesn't quite live up to expectations.

It's very casual, with staff letting us choose wherever to sit (there was a 4 seater that was taken by a single diner), the place eventually was packed and it has similar vibes to restaurants/cafes in Asia where there's a 'communal table' and you share it with other patrons.

Our orders were taken and the dishes arrived swiftly after ordering.
Mindful that our server's cuticles were visibly dirty; noticed it when they handed us our bowls & should have taken it as a sign to leave.

The chopsticks were also of poor quality, the handles were uneven and despite 'sanding' the handles, ended up with a splinter.

There were a couple of space heaters to warm up the space but thought a warm bowl of pho should do the job; safe to say it wasn't hot and filling as I hoped it would be.

We also ordered their spring rolls; but was disappointed that it didn't come with nuoc cham (maybe it was very diluted) and it was bland.
Overall, felt their pho lacked flavour. Appreciated the added vegetables on the side ie bean sprouts/basil/lime.

Again, maybe it was our timing & depending on the time of our visit but seeing as they're only open until 7pm thought the quality of their food would be amazing.

Given the price point, lack of flavours; would not be rushing to visit this establishment. There are a few Vietnamese restaurants in Glasgow to be discovered and safe to say, this isn't one of them.

Came here for a quick breakfast. Food was good and reasonably priced. I also had a iced coffee which I would definitely avoid because it was absolutely painfully sweet. The atmosphere was nice and the service was good. The workers helped me choose a good meal. Will definitely come back to try some other dishes!

My search for a good Vietnamese restaurant in Glasgow goes on. Although not truly terrible, the bun cha was lacking in quality whilst the banh mi lacking in filling. The food came out in less than 5mins and that is never a good start for me. The pork in the bun cha was super dry and the whole dish was lacking the freshness of good ones ive tried before. The pork in the banh mi was better but if you describe the pork as barbecue on the menu then it should taste like barbecued pork.

The best Vietnamese food in Glasgow, hands down. The pho, bun cha, and banh mi are all delicious.

The pho here is delicious, better than some places in Vietnam. Great depth of flavour and generous portions. The banh mi are fantastic too. Highly recommended.
Not licenced but they do a mean Vietnamese coffee and various fruit juices.

Great food and drinks. We have been hunting for a good place since a trip to Vietnam last year.
This has been by far the best option we've found in Glasgow to date (we missed having a good Bang Mi!). We will definitely be going back. My wife and mom liked it so much we grabbed some banh mi to go. We also really enjoyed the coffees too. Great egg and salt coffees.
So good we will make excuses to be in that part of town.

Good value and quick friendly service.

Menu has all your favourites without being war and peace.

Hearty portions and would definitely go back.

Went for a pho and would recommend.

Love the tofu banh mi and iced lemonade here. The vegan summer rolls are also really tasty and served with a yummy hoisin dip. I can't believe how cheap this place is and how fast the food comes out of the kitchen. One of my top places to go for lunch.
