In order to get a table, diners need to order and pay with the cashier. Started off with the spring roll and it was tasty. The filing had plenty of pork and the wrapper was light. It was a bummer that the spring roll didn't come with any vegetables. Moved on to Pho #2 which was a pho with beef cooked to a "medium rare." Pho is Europe doesn't seem to come with tripe, tendons, and/or meatballs. I think the beef was medium rare when it came out of the kitchen as it was closer to medium well and well done by the time it was on my table. The broth was decent and I wasn't sure why the broth came with a side of raw garlic and lemon.

I wish that you didn't have to order rice as a side dish... but given the price of the food and the flavor, I wasn't disappointed at all. It wasn't what I was expecting in the sense that there was much less beef than I would have liked, and the broccoli pieces were tiny. The sauce was a thin soup that went well with my rice. I would suggest that you eat in the restaurant though, since the plates that I saw looked a lot more impressive than my takeaway dish. They have a large variety of chicken, duck, salmon, and other traditional Viet and Thai dishes that all look really delicious. Great for a quick lunch!

The egg roll was pretty good though. It wasn't bad though. It was a nice change from the Czech food. I saw the vermicelli, and that looked delicious!

Four of us have had great Vietnamese meals in Paris, Berlin and California. Two of us travelled extensively in Vietnam, one worked in Vietnam. It was a Saturday night, nice crowd, tasteful restaurant. Food and service were overall disappointing. Tom Yum soup, which is actually Thai, had no chicken or vegetables. The Goi Coun (soft rolls or summer rolls), lacked any herbs or greens for which are key, just noodles and meat. Served with nuc mam, no peanut sauce or spice. Very bland. Then we waited an hour for the next courses and had to remind the waitress that others arrived after us, were served and finished. The final dishes came which were good or very good. Lemongrass grilled pork and cucumber salad - okay but better in Paris. Banana leaf duck, very good. Caramelized catfish (basa) very good but had better in California. Even though the restaurant was emptying out, we could not get refills on drinks. 3 of us are African American, one white. Seemed that the black folks were ignored. I had to think that's the reason for the poor service. After complaining, and we rarely complain, they did offer a 10% discount. It was so disappointing since this was something we were looking forward to. We've had great service in other Prague restaurants.

This place is a total sleeper. If you go here expecting to be met with what most people know to be…read morepho, you are going to have to expand your expectant palate a bit. In my eating experience, southern Vietnamese style pho is much more prevalent to western markets and, at least from the US perspective, is what most people are familiar with when they think of pho. I have read that in the north of Vietnam (such as in Hanoi), the style of pho is different. Not necessarily better or worse, just different. This place definitely uses a northern style recipe and I was not prepared for it to be as good as it was. It blew me away in several ways. First, the broth seems to have a lighter style to it than pho from the Ho Chi Minh City area in the south. Not in taste but in mouthfeel. Given that, it also doesn't leave you with that greasy tongue sensation either which was a plus. All of the beefy taste was there and there was even a hit of ginger coming through after the star anise which really made it interesting. I've actually never tasted broth like it (I have never had northern style pho before) and in some ways, I almost prefer this. Second, the herbs are chopped up and already added as a finish during assembly. They do not bring you a large plate of leaves, sprouts, etc. However, what they did bring more than made up for my initial disappointment. A small condiment dish of chopped hot chilis, a lemon wedge, and best of all, a container of sliced raw garlic swimming in vinegar. That condiment alone was an amazing hit to an already great bowl of noodles. I actually could not stop eating it and must have ingested at least half the container on my own. I feel kind of bad because I alone probably ate about 30 minutes worth of garlic slicing and now nobody wants to stand next to me in the elevator but that's ok, it makes me feel like a rock star that I get my own personal elevator car even if it is only because of a toxic cloud of garlic off-gassing out of my pores. Third, the service was great. This seems to be a little family run joint. A nice woman was manning the front of the house and her son was at one of the tables entertaining himself. I am sure that there is a hard working family member running the kitchen too and they managed to serve a fairly full dining room with courtesy, speed, and accuracy. I am sure that running this kind of small family business is never-ending, back-breaking work so to do it with a good attitude really shows the effort being put in on their part. There is nothing to dislike about that. Finally, it was affordable. Very affordable. I had 2 shrimp fresh summer rolls, a bowl of sliced rare beef pho, and a mug of beef all for 239 Czech Crowns ($10.18 USD). I also got to use the secure wifi they have available during my meal (ask and they will put the PW in for you). All of that is a bona fide steal in my opinion. For an ethnic eatery in the middle of Prague, this one really bangs out the good stuff.

So a quick Yelp search showed us that Mr. Banh Mi was a 5-minute walk from our hotel. We were a little iffy about how good Vietnamese food would taste in Prague, but we decided to give it a try anyway. We got there at around 9 and there was one table dining there. It's more like a hole in the wall than an actual restaurant. Most people were getting takeout or delivery. I got the Original (stewed pork Xa Xiu, homemade pate, pickled carrot and daikon, fresh cucumber, homemade mayonnaise, coriander). It was actually pretty good, and definitely better than what I was expecting. The pork was a little too salty but overall, it was exactly what I was looking for at the time. It's definitely not as good as the banh mis back at home in NYC but it was a good option for a quick meal.

We ordered veggie wraps, fried chicken, pho with chicken, chicken soup, and Pad Thai. The fried chicken had a strange texture, like it wasn't breaded properly. The pho had a weird flavor and was drenched excessively in purple onions. The chicken also had an unusual yellow color, which we later learned was because the chef seasons it with turmeric--something that looked quite bizarre. The chicken noodle soup contained egg, even though the menu didn't mention it. Honestly, it looked more like egg drop soup mixed with chicken. The Pad Thai was okay, nothing particularly special. The restaurant is very clean and has plenty of seating, making it a good spot to hang out with friends. The waitress was nice and attentive. Since we had several dietary restrictions due to allergies, she frequently checked with the kitchen to ensure our safety. Unfortunately, despite the good service, the food just didn't deliver.

It's just that they serve Westernized versions of lots of cuisines from Asia - Japanese food, Thai, Chinese. There's no blending of cultures or original dishes. On a Saturday night, we were offered more than adequate bar seating - no tables - when we showed up at 7:30p without a reservation. Drinks kept coming out as quickly as we ordered them and they were all delicious. But the food was confounding: at times elevated, but sometimes just doing the job. The smoke on the octopus was let down by the chewy inside, the pepper beef had a great flavor profile but also had too many fatty portions, the kung pao chicken cried for more peanuts. It definitely felt like a night on the town inside, which counts for a lot, but I'm not sure what I'd want to eat if I returned.
