    Bun ba Hue (#10)
    Paul C.

    This strip center restaurant is a pretty typical Vietnamese Pho place. The decor is simple and the atmosphere is casual. There is a TV on a wall, and karaoke equipment set up in a corner. Pastels, red, and gold are common colors. There is a religious shrine near the cash register. I love how the Vietnamese immigrants share their dining culture in these modest family-run restaurants. Vietnamese cuisine is uniquely different from other Asian dining. The most authentic and popular dish is the bowl of Pho soup. The soup base is a rich beef broth with flavors of fish sauce, lemon grass, and star anise. Vermicelli noodles, and various cuts of meat are served in the delicious broth. After the steaming hot bowl arrives, you add fresh bean spouts, basil leaves, cilantro, and slices of jalapeños to the bowl. Pho is served all day, but I especially enjoy it as a mid morning breakfast or lunch. I visited Pho Sizzle on Thursday with my friend Robin who lives in Trussville. He loves having a Vietnamese option on his side of town. Our waiter was welcoming and friendly. I started with a Cafe Su Da. Cafe Su da is a wonderfully strong coffee with condensed milk and it is served over ice. Traditionally, the coffee is brewed at your table in an individual coffee press. I was disappointed that Pho Sizzle doesn't prepare it this way but instead brews and mixes the coffee in the kitchen. It was good, although a tad too sweet. For my lunch I ordered Bun Ba Hue. This is a spicy beef soup that is slightly different from Pho. The broth is much spicier and has stronger beef complexity. And, instead of vermicelli, round spaghetti noodle are served in the bowl. Shredded purple cabbage, white cabbage, sliced jalapeños, and a squeeze of lime are the add-ins. I thought their version of this dish was good, but not great. The broth and meat were just a little off to me

    At first glance, you wonder if they are opened because the windows are so tinted that it makes it look like the lights are off inside. Once we entered, we were hit with smoke. The place was very smokey. Our waitress was super friendly. But we ordered water to drink and our meal. About 12 minutes later she came back with the water, placed them on the table next to us, walked back to the kitchen, grabbed our food, then gave us the water after giving us the food. Note there were only two tables eating while we were there and one of them was leaving. So I'm not sure why we couldn't get our drinks faster. The menu is large, like, they decided to host all of the Asian cultures on one menu. You have your Chinese, your Vietnamese, and Thai. The only two familiar Asian food types I didn't see on the menu were Filipino and Indian. Regardless. We ordered the Vietnamese egg rolls, the shrimp and pork spring rolls, the chicken lettuce wraps, and the bahn mi with Vietnamese ham, roasted pork, pork pate, and pork loaf. The egg rolls were fried in old grease. The spring rolls were kinda chewy, the noodles weren't fully cooked and it didn't taste that great. The chicken lettuce wraps could have gone a little less heavy on the garlic and the onions, peppers, and garlic could have been cooked down a little more because you have an overwhelming taste of garlic and onions. The bahn mi was okay. Great roll, but the meat and pickles were just okay. We will keep looking for a good Vietnamese place.

    This place is spotless!! Huge plus!!! I came in for lunch and it was not busy at all. A few people sprinkled in and out for to go orders but no other dine in guest. The gentleman who assisted me was very patient. I never know really what to order when I visit these types of establishments. I know what I have in mind but I'm never really sure. I knew I wanted something spicy and consisted of noodles. I know.... So vague. I ended up getting b.10 and the bowl was massive! Of course , I had leftovers , which I didn't eat. My meal was hearty but I wish it had more flavor and had a more distinct spicy taste. The sriracha I added didn't do the trick. Just made my dish red looking. I don't eat at pho places enough to know what I'm doing. I had a craving for something similar to what I ordered but it didn't satisfy. No fault of this establishment at all. Their wine and beer menu is super basic. Underwhelming for sure. No craft beers in sight. Overall, I would come here again. I was pleased with the service and the cleanliness of the restaurant. I could certainly use some help on what to order next time. Let me know!!!

    The food was AMAZING!!! I got Pho with beef & beef brisket & it was so good! The veggies were fresh my only complaint was we only got a couple pieces of basil & no cilantro but that's minor the broth was so good not greasy & made with love our waitress was the sweetest and cutest little lady! She was bubbly & very inviting I didn't get her name but her attitude along will have us back sooner than later

    I'm late doing the update on the food. But the pho was very good. Everything was packed nicely for my to go order. I'll give the pho itself 4 stars. Only taking way 1 star because it could have had more meat. The shrimp rolls were ok.

    Food is really good! Service is TERRIBLE! The kid waiting on tables and greeting customers is in a world of his own. Sitting up front playing with his phone with AirPods in. Meanwhile, customers waiting to pay and drinks needing refills go unnoticed. What a shame! Again, great food but the poor service level ruins it for me.

    Good pho but chicken seemed a little bland. Great icecream bar though the service is a bit slow all around.

    Cute place. Good fast casual addition to Mountain Brook village. Had the bao buns. They did the job.read more

    I absolutely love this friendly fast-casual eatery! We wanted a quick and healthy dinner when in…read morethe area recently. I peeked in and thought it looked so pretty. And of course they had me at poke bowls. It's one of my top 5 things to eat, honestly. But I ordered a Buddha bowl because it's almost the same thing and I felt a little lazy to DIY (not to mention, the Buddha bowl looked tantalizing!) They have other veg options, but I set my sights on that bowl as soon as the friendly counter guy suggested it. It's overloaded with goodness--avocado, deliciously marinated tofu, edamame (yes, it's a protein-rich bowl), tomatoes, shredded carrots, diced cucumbers, greens and more. You're literally devouring the rainbow here, friends. For drinks, they have a modest but decent selection of beer, wine (a decent bubbly in a can!) and sake in addition to soft drinks. The place is so beautiful (and spotlessly clean) with plants dangling from the ceiling and beautiful murals throughout. If I lived in the neighborhood, I'd be here all the time.

High ceilings and exposed brick are a few of the ways to my heart. If you've seen a post about this place, you've probably seen a picture of the crackly round, artistic dish and wondered what it was. There are dumplings on the underside of it and you break each one off of the crackly part to enjoy. We did enjoy these but I would've loved a soy sauce to dip them in. They came with chili crunch, peanuts, and green onions but I wanted an actual sauce. They were very standard tasting dumplings and there was nothing extraordinary about them unfortunately. As always, we'd looked at the menu beforehand and decided what we wanted. It does state on their website that their menus can change due to freshness and availability. But we'd both decided on an app and entree we wanted only to get there and have none of them on the menu. I do appreciate a rotating menu to accommodate local items, but I would also love for those to be updated on a regular basis. So after rerouting, we decided on the chicken skewers as another app with the dumplings. These were chargrilled, flavorful, and had a nice crust on them. I got shrimp fried rice and Julia got spicy beef noodles. It was fine but I wish the shrimp wouldn't have been cut up. It felt like they chopped them up in order to not put as many in the dish. At $25 for this, I'd like whole shrimp please. There were a few pieces of raw spinach with pepper on the top. I would've loved a sauce of some kind. I would've preferred shrimp hibachi with fried rice from a Japanese place that included vegetables and sauces. This was not *bad* there was just SO much room for improvement. We both agreed that nothing was awful, but for these prices and the hype, we expected more. Our waitress was super friendly. Bonus points because they had match boxes at the host stand! There was a paid parking lot diagonal from the restaurant, so we had to walk through an intersection to get there. There are some spots up front if you can snag one. Overall, we enjoyed our time here but won't be sprinting back.
