Some street parking on neighboring streets! The space itself is quite large and spacious. It fits the general design and flow of other Zupas spots, with counter ordering and choose your own seating! The staff were very friendly during my visit! I ordered the best thing on the menu: the 2 choice combo. I picked a full sandwich and a cup of soup! It comes with a roll and a chocolate covered strawberry! I had the BBQ Brisket sandwich, which is loaded up with meat, veggies, and a yummy sauce. My only complaint is that it's a bit bready. I also had the Mushroom bisque, which was a warming, creamy soup to heat up with after a chilly walk over! Lovely taste across the board!

Parking is a bit tough in this part of town, but there are some street parking spots available on nearby streets. The space itself is tucked between a few other establishments. It is small, with tables for groups of two and four, which is perfect for the students and staff passing through. The staff is always very helpful and friendly when I stop by! This spot is known for its Bahn Mi and Rice Bowls! I always get a Bahn Mi, which comes in small (plenty for one meal) or a large (perfect for leftovers or to split). The pork is my favorite, which is always tender, flavorful, and piled high! The sandwich also comes with a plethora of traditional veggies, including carrots, cucumber, jalapenos, and cilantro! The crusty, crunchy bread really makes this sandwich! I like mine with pate and mayo for a bit of creaminess! Never hurts to add a side of their freshly fried cream cheese wontons! The serving size of everything is also a great value for the cost. Truly one of my favorite slightly hidden gems in the Stadium Village area. Will be returning regularly!

They weren't able to do that with the burrata pasta due to the burrata ball on top which was completely fine! Both pasta dishes were tasty but the lemon pesto burrata blew me away. Every bite was absolutely incredible and it's such a unique dish that's hard to find somewhere else or replicate at home. I completely recommend giving it a try. The focaccia bread appetizer was also amazing! We added & paid for a few extra pieces to accommodate the size of our group and everyone absolutely loved it. The drinks were also really well done & strong without being overly stiff. They were really well mixed and tasty. Our server was so sweet and helped make the experience so special for us. I cannot wait to come back!

It's meter street parking but I've never had an issue finding a spot. The meatballs and sausage were amazing, but the pothole pie was really bland. We think they may have forgotten to add seasoning. Some of the tables are pretty small so if you're ordering a few things you may have to arrange the plates carefully to have everything fit. The servers are always really friendly and coffee is good here too. I'm between 4 or 5 stars only because of the pothole pie, but if they fixed that it would get 5 stars from me for sure! (Pictures of pothole pie and meatballs & sausage are from after we had started eating them)

The service was normal and the restaurant itself was clean. There were a lot of people inside eating, which seemed like a good sign. I ended up ordering the classic chicken banh mi. Honestly, I was not that impressed. I have had a lot of banh mi sandwiches before, and this one tasted pretty average to me. The seasoning on the chicken was a bit overpowering after a while and did not feel very balanced. The pricing was also a little higher than I expected for what I got. It was not bad by any means, but it did not really live up to the hype for me.

They make some delicious vegan food (both super healthy dishes like hummus and veggies & rice, as well as some more indulgent dishes like biscuits and gravy).

They have board games to play and there are even events from time to time. My one issue is that the bathrooms need a little bit of TLC. Otherwise, this place is great.
