BON BANH MI REVIEWS

one of my fav spots in Charleston! The food is SO fresh and flavorful. I switch it up between the Banh Mi’s and Bowls- but honestly everything is amazing. The staff and owner are all so welcoming and nice. I can’t say enough good things about this spot! Definitely a local favorite.

Amazing food, pretty view, and amazingly friendly servers! One of them gave the three of us some shrimp with a new teriyaki style flavor blend he was working on. Hopefully we will be able to go again during our visit here in Charleston.

Had a great experience! The food was amazing. Hubs got the 5 spiced pork Banh Mi and I got the 5 spiced tofu taco. Really fresh ingredients, very large portions and great flavors. Highly recommend.

PHO SAIGON REVIEWS

I loved Pho Saigon! The treatment was amazing. Our server was kind and welcoming. The food is a little pricey, but that's Charleston for you! The Vegetable Pho was amazing. The broth was so delicious, and I can't say the same thing about every other broth. They're not the same. I also like it when the broth is nice and hot as I expect, and this was. Their summer rolls were nice and and very delicious. I usually don't like the peanut butter sauces in most places, but this one looked so edible that I actually had it. It had chunks of peanuts on top. I usually tend to have the summer rolls with hot oil and soy sauce. I added some of their peanut sauce here. Their summer rolls were made fresh and didn't have any hard pieces like other places. They also have a cute robot that brings the food to our table. This was the most amazing entertainment for me. It was too cute to see it find it's way around to our table and others to deliver food and back to the kitchen. Please see my videos. The location is very clean and tidy. I will definitely be returning.

Pho Saigon is an amazing place for a little me dinner. I came here for the first time and it was amazing. Servers are really nice and supportive. Food comes out at a good time. Everything tastes good. I am a picky eater and eating here was still amazing. I got the sesame chicken with lo mein with dumplings and it was amazing. Very friendly place to eat at and I will definitely be coming her for the future.

A wonderful place for a great bowl of Pho and an incredible fresh shrimp roll. My buddy Justin and I were in town and decided we were looking for a solid Pho lunch. The interior is warm and the staff nice. Great meal, fresh ingredients and a solid lunch for both of us. Justin was pleasurably surprised by the quality of the food! Wow.

PINK BELLIES REVIEWS

The atmosphere was great and the service was fantastic shoutout to Michael, James and Christian for looking out and making sure everything was fine! The food was phenomenal the favorite meal in Charleston I shared with my wife. We came in from out of state and I have been visiting Pink Bellies since they had the food truck and over the years they have been able to continuously take things to new level whether it's the menu, the location, the cultural aspects or the ambience I can't wait to see what's next.

This was one of the best meals we had during our trip to Charleston! We ordered the OG Garlic Noodles and Sui Cao dumplings, and General Gerry’s chicken plus a few cocktails. Delicious! Atmosphere was casual, fun, and friendly.

Highly recommend! Food and service were amazing for our large group of 12 people. Thank you so much!! I will definitely be back.
