    Authentic Vietnamese family run business, pho was great. Staff were super attentive to our large group and very friendly. The wooden tables and wall decorations remind me of my bà ngoại's home.

    Spring rolls
    Sigrid W.

    It really doesn't look like much from the outside and the surrounding area also looks a bit run down. However, a visit here is well worth it. Inside it looks more like an old bar, with an actual bar taking up most of the front part of the restaurant. Towards the back is a lot more seating as well as a karaoke stage. The whole place looks a bit outdated, BUT... the food is great. The menu is quite extensive and I had a tough time deciding what to go with. I really enjoyed my spring rolls and my bowl of rice noodles with beef, not sure of the official name. The server continuously refilled our waters and was always ready to fulfill all of our needs. The portions here are very generous and the prices were really affordable. Come here for the great food, not the ambiance.

    Banh mi and Pho

    This is one of my favorite places in Indy! The service is so quick for both takeout and dine in and the people are so sweet. The restaurant is definitely a hole in the wall, but it does the job and the food is so good and authentic!

    The stewed catfish is absolutely fire--so flavorful and cooked perfectly, with rich seasoning that really stands out. It's easily the highlight of the meal and something I'd order again. The spring rolls are also good and make a nice, light starter before the main dish. The restaurant itself is very quiet and clean, which makes it a comfortable place to sit down and enjoy your food without feeling rushed. Service is very fast, and everything comes out quickly while still tasting fresh. Overall, it was a great experience and definitely worth coming back for.

    Banh Beo 84
    Cat S.

    Yes it's worth it! Banh Beo (B4) is excellent! It's soooo good. Im coming back just for this. I think I just found my favorite Vietnamese restaurant in Indy. Their vermicelli with beef and egg roll (34 Bun Thor Heo) is delicious too but the Banh Beo is the star. I practically ate the whole appetizer by myself even though it's a sharing dish. Pho-ever shirt from the woman is a lovely touch and the really cool grandpa who took my order was really kind and friendly. You can tell this is a beloved family own place. I'll definitely come back.

    Great for Any Meal. These fresh spring rolls are perfect for a quick snack or light meal. Healthy, flavorful, and easy to eat!

    Chicken pho
    Ata A.

    I had the chicken pho, and it was delightful! The food and service were great. They offered all of the "fixins" that come traditionally with pho, and were generous with the portion. The environment was relaxed, not rushed, and enjoyable!

    Rice plate with beef, onions, and peppers

    Our foodie group decided to have a late lunch at Pho 21 on a Sunday afternoon. Pho 21 is on East 21st Street in the Arlington area close to downtown. It is a Vietnamese restaurant located in a rundown strip mall, but do not let the location fool you or steer you away, because it is a great place for Vietnamese food. The ambiance reminded me of an old sports bar that went down under because they had a nice bar in the middle of the restaurant with wooden tables and chairs all around the place and wood paneling on the walls. There are very nice plants in the foyer as you walk into the restaurant, so it does give the place some character. The menu is extensive and prices are very reasonable. I ordered the spring rolls as an appetizer and the rice plate with chicken, ginger, and veggies. I ordered an iced tea to drink and received what looked like hot green tea poured over ice in a glass. It was actually very good, so I was not complaining. The food was excellent and was impressive. My spring rolls tasted great with the dipping sauce and my rice plate was fantastic and a very big portion. Everyone in our group had big portions and was very happy with their food. One person ordered chicken wraps and had to roll her own wraps with the chicken and side items provided to her, and it was entertaining to see her try to roll the chicken wrap. The service is decent for what you get is all I can say about Pho 21. There were two young gentlemen taking care of us the entire time and they were nice and professional. They kept our water glass full of water and made sure we had everything we need which is all that we wanted. I was happy with my dining experience at Pho 21 and would recommend coming here for the food because it is definitely worth the price and it will not hurt your bank account at all. Good food at a good price is all you can ask for and it is here at Pho 21.

    Pho with meatball and beef
    Chassity B.

    This place is delicious! My mom and I often frequent this one for our "pho Sundays". The service is quick and attentive and my order is always correct. The pho is always flavorful with a large portion and the prices are not bad at all. Recommend!

If you are using cash, go to the counter, electronic pay or plastic, use the kiosk it's much easier and faster. The large boba is huge, get that if you trying to overload on boba and drinks. The watermelon Sago was a treat for sure, very refreshing and light , perfect for a hot summer day . I was impressed with their drinks, we Californians are spoiled with options when it comes to these drinks and there weren't too many options here in Indy I looked up . Tbe dining area was kinda warm when I went in but I took our drinks to go. Plenty of room for a big group if you decide to chill out there. Great spot for tea and milk.

    I ate a sushi burrito in LA in like 2019, and then couldn't stop thinking about it for years…read more Little did I know, sushi burritos exist in Indy! My friend had been telling me about her favorite bubble tea spot for months, and when we finally went, I was so happy to see they also have custom poke and sushi burritos and delicious onigiri options. The inside is super cute and was very clean when we went. Service is quick and unfussy, so this would be a great option if you need to pick up a to go order, but it's also a nice spot to stop for a quick lunch break. It's cozy and quiet so could even be a good place to work or study if you're looking off the beaten path on Mass Ave. Aside from the onigiri, most of the food is totally custom and made to order, so you can really get whatever you want. You order on a paper menu like at a sushi restaurant, picking exactly what you like--and honestly, you can go wild here. For the base price of $11.50 (for burritos and bowls), you pick your base, protein, up to two sauces, and then add as many of the mix-ins and toppings as you want. A steal, imo! There are several ways to make this vegetarian (I got tofu), and it could be gluten free, too, if you're careful about sauces. I ordered my burrito and a peach black tea with aloe jelly. Now I can't stop dreaming of the tea, either. Will be back asap. This is better than LA!

If you just want a drink you can order at the counter. Service was quick! I liked the atmosphere! It felt cozy and intimate. There's not a whole lot of seating, but the restaurant is also on the smaller side. Everything is packaged to be able to take to go though!
