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.

I came here with work colleagues and it was easy for us to sit on the top floor where we had the space to ourselves for a table for 8-12. The service was prompt and courteous. It was better because one person in our delegation spoke French, but probably would have been fine with only English too. I got the seared, sesame-crusted salmon with edamame, avocado, and teriyaki dipping sauce. It was phenomenal and perfectly cooked. The salmon was clearly sushi-grade and just warm in the middle, but a bit crispy with sesame seeds on the outside and the Asian sauce and sides with edamame and seaweed really elevated things.

Service was relatively fast and friendly, and I was surprised they didn't have a bigger crowd at lunch. The decor was cute and upscale. I'll definitely be back.
