    The drink I got was brown sugar milk tea with Boba. The drink was good and refreshing, but the price was a little higher than I expected. $8.15 for one drink is way too much. I probably won't be coming back because the price isn't worth. Seats are very limited.

    Spring rolls and peach tea

    A little restaurant tucked away in the corner of a strip of shops but it's a good thing as there is drive through service available. I get a meal here at least once a week. Food always freshly made, no wilted veggies or dried out noodles. Every meal has extra condiments provided from oyster sauce to extra hot red peppers. Fresh Thai basil and jalapenos too! The drink list is endless from teas to Boba. I highly recommend this place for not just soup and noodles but SANDWICHES!

    Pho here was the best thing I've had in North Carolina for the last 4 days I've visited. Pretty close to some pho spots in Little Saigon in SOCAL. Prices seem to compare to other asian spots in this area. However, I like the taste here the best so far. This restaurant/boba shop is very cozy but the plaza has an okay amount of parking as well. The owners and staff seem friendly. I'll probably be back here to have the Pho again before heading back home. Also it's probably one of the few vietnamese places I've seen that have a drive thru. Very cool. I also appreciate that they're actually vietnamese. As opposed to other spots in the area.

    They now offer pho (I've tried their beef noodle soup) and noodle salad (I tried the noodle salad with pork and a spring roll). Both were very yummy. I've gone back for additional orders of both items. Service is always pleasant. They're eager to customize requests. And the establishment is clean and well kept. Give them a try either for a sandwich or pho. All good stuff - I promise. Oh, and don't forget a bubble tea.

    brown sugar boba milk tea

    I went through the drive through on 5/14 and got a brown sugar milk tea, add cheese foam. I was a few minutes down the road and already back onto the highway when I realized that my drink had no boba in it. I called and all that I was told was 'i'll let management know' They offered for me to come back so they could add boba to my drink. However, at this point it's 6:15pm on a weekday and my priority lies in getting home to my children not backtracking for a drink. They offered no kind of compensation and I was extremely disappointed. The drink is delicious and I won't deny that, but to not add a main component to a drink and then not offer any kind of compensation for the error was disheartening.

    Why have we not tried this place sooner! Delicious Vietnamese cafe featuring bánh mì (Vietnamese's baguette specialties), and milk teas. My sandwich was the #1 Bánh Mì (special traditional baguette): ham, pork bologna, pate (I skipped it on mine), butter, house special sauce, cucumber, cilantro, pickled daikon radish, pickled carrots, jalapeños. I had the Boba Panda milk tea. Bobas are small tapioca pearls, dyed black with dark sugar, added to black tea mixed with milk or non-dairy creamer. Delicious and a great variety.

    SO GOOD! I got the milk lichee tea with tapioca balls, it was so wonderfully cold and sweet. I also got the spring rolls (summer roll), shrimp, noodles, herbs with peanut sauce and spicy sauce. Service was friendly, and fast. The space feels like a little cafe. Absolutely recommend.

    Banh Mi #1
    Amy V.

    Don't let my now married name fool you - I am proven by 23+Me to be 100% Vietnamese. I'm always on the lookout for my cuisine, wherever I travel. I've had LOTS of Vietnamese food! I stopped by during my lunch break. You guys, this place was HOPPING the entire time. I ordered my food, and it came out so fast. They handed me a giant fresh sandwich and my tea. Took about 5 minutes. Brought it back to my desk at work. I am literally crying as I type. This is the BEST banh mi sandwich I've had in years. The bread is crispy, but malleable. The sandwich is filled up with delicious pork and fresh, crunchy vegetables. I'm pairing this with my lychee tea, which I haven't even tried yet because this sandwich is just so good. I'm sure it's delicious. Check them out. You won't regret it.

    Vietnamese shrimp and pork vermicelli

    The food is pretty good and the service is always nice to me, the owner is somehow super energetic friendly. The banh mi taste a lot better and crispy if u eat right away cause of the oven.

    Fresh, delicious homemade Vietnamese food! I've had the Vermicelli Bowl twice and it has been absolutely perfect both times--tastes like a high end Vietnamese restaurant I love back home. My spouse got a Banh Mi that was just top tier. Add in the delicious boba drinks and this place is a 10/10.

    I stopped in today and was greeted by friendly staff that answered my questions. I ordered the watermelon fruit tea with mango popping boba and it was refreshing and delicious. Will definitely be back cause I want to try one of their yummy looking sandwiches.

They're adjoined with the Tryon Palace visitor center right there in downtown New Bern, so likely they're convenient for you. They have a decent, slightly obstructed view of the water but you can walk about 50 feet and be right on it. There is a large private parking lot, so no worries on that either. In general, the sandwiches there are darn good, and the few sides we tried (dill potato salad, and their pasta salad) were excellent. My reuben on marbled rye was straight up delicious, and you order yours based on how much meat you want on it. They use Boar's Head meats here, which while I think sometimes that is overblown, you can count on that level of quality. The thing though is this, it's gonna be a pricey lunch. They are full service, so count on tipping. Their prices for sandwiches are higher than what I'm accustomed to, even with my standards adjusted for the current life of everything be expensive that we live in in 2026. Chalk that up to waterfront dining and high rent I would imagine. In any case, if the sandwich didn't live up to the price, I wouldn't give it a 5. Tasted great, service was excellent, overall a very enjoyable lunch. Would return!
