The beef pho is tasty with a fair amount of broth and beef, the egg rolls are crunchy and almost as good as LA. The only issue I have is that some of the dishes pictured in the menu are not the same as what you get, like the crispy calamari dish turned out to be a stirred fry.. good but not the same. Basically if you're Asian and crave Vietnamese pho or food, this little restaurant will keep you satisfy until you get home to Little Saigon.

They have a good amount of seating indoors and when my friend and I went on a random weekday for lunch, there weren't a ton of other people.

As of early 2024, a bowl of pho will set you back under 15 euros. They also accept card as a form of payment.

The bun bo hue was DELICIOUS - flavorful, not oily, right amount of spicy, and the noodles were cooked perfectly. It was a nice surprise to have a good authentic Vietnamese meal in Brussels that is better than New York City. If I lived here, I'd be a regular. It appears to be a husband and wife owned business - hubby runs the front and wifey runs the kitchen.

You get to choose your protein and even decide if you want it as part of a combo meal (with wonton soup or nems or crispy shrimp, etc.) et voila! We also really enjoy their nems (fried eggrolls) and the wonton soup (the wontons are very flavourful and outta this world)! Note: they take cash and no card at the cashier area, but they do have an online system that takes card - and you can order it for your table as well! They also speak English so for my fellow non-francophones, fret not! Seating is also first-come, first-served so depending on when you get there you may have to wait for a seat. Overall, a great local establishment worth supporting!

The vermicelli they had was the thin one. No sir, you don't make Bun Bo Hue with thin vermicelli, and the soup wasn't that rice of the broth. You honestly can buy the paste from the super market, out some shrimp paste and lemongrass into it, and baam! You have the Bun Bo Hue that they sell over there. If you are in Belgium and you're Vietnamese and you're craving for Viet food, do me a favor. Don't go there! And one last thing: they charged me a freaking 2.5 Euros for a glass of water. I am so over it.

I had low expectations and decided to give this place a chance. This place greatly exceeded my expectations and did not disappoint. I walked in and there were only 3 tables taken. The atmosphere is intimate and quiet. Instead of the pho, I decided to try the seafood and pork noodle soup. It was simple, flavorful, and delicious. They gave lots of noodles, broth was amazing, good portion of meat (the pork was my least favorite). I also ordered the fried spring rolls for appetizer, the wrap is different from what I'm use to and did not have much meat in it, but still not bad. Service was straight forward and polite. I would come back here again.

The fabulously dressed flamboyant gentleman was kind and helpful. The sassy woman was hilarious! -Portions are pretty decently sized and priced fairly Why three stars? I just didn't enjoy anything that we ordered. Sadly, it was my least favorite meal that we had in Belgium. Based on all the reviews, I think it's clear that it's not the place per se, but what I was looking for. That being said, I still must be honest. What we ordered: Cheddar Croquettes (2 for 14 Euros): Just ok and this was one of the things that I felt was overpriced Carpaccio of Smoked Beef with White Truffle Oil (18 Euros): Again, just ok Meatloaf with "Jack Pepper" sauce (26 Euros): "Jack Pepper" means something different in Brussels. It was basically a peppercorn gravy. I wasn't a fan, but Jim G. enjoyed it. With this, we had frites and a small side salad. I know many people recommend that Flemish Beef Stew, but we already had that at Fin de Siecle, and I couldn't imagine that any place would top it, so we didn't get it here. Ultimately, this place isn't for me, but I seem to be in the minority.
