PHO & POKE HOUSE REVIEWS

I had the pleasure of dining at one of Durham's finest Vietnamese establishments on December 23rd. Their pho was exceptional, and I highly recommend it to anyone seeking an authentic and flavorful experience. While the bubble tea was enjoyable, I believe I opted for a traditional fountain drink on my next visit.

This is the best pho place in Durham! Hands down. I’m from Vegas, have traveled and lived in many states and this is some of the best pho I’ve ever had. It’s good takeout or dine it. It’s consistently good and it’s near my job. Their summer rolls are also perfect 10/10.

This place is great! I have been on the lookout for good Vietnamese food and this place delivered. I ordered the bun thit nuong which is the vermicelli noodles dish. The portion was very generous and everything was delicious. It was prepared fresh for me. The service was very friendly and they said I did a good job pronouncing the dish which I was unsure about! I will definitely be back.

BAHN'S CUISINE REVIEWS

A local and affordable favorite of ours, we especially love going on Wednesdays and Saturdays for the Vietnamese food as it is very home-style and tastes of home. Family-run by the sweetest and nicest group of women. Highly recommend others to go and continue supporting this long time staple of the area.

I’m absolutely obsessed with the entire experience here! The food is affordable and tastes phenomenal! The staff are sooo sweet! Has the family own vibe which I love.

The ginger chicken was so fresh and delicious 10/10. The hot and sour soup was so good I ordered two more to go.

BOWL OF PHO REVIEWS

This a good authentic Vietnamese spot that has that classic homey Vietnamese feel to it . The food is delicious and authentic . I love getting a banh mi and spring roll for lunch. At $8 , can’t beat it ! The bun is very good too, especially with the crispy egg rolls.

Ordered takeout and it was extremely good. Came out fast, server was nice, broth had lots of flavor, noodles cooked perfect, chicken tender. Definitely going back.

I eat the spicy pho here called BBH Bun Bo Hue all the time. It taste great and very affordable. The atmosphere is peaceful and the service is great.
