"Loved the flavor. There should be more meat, there was only 5 bite size beef pieces, And I was charged extra for beef. Otherwise I did order a lunch portion but was still very large! 4 stars only because of meat amount."
"Overall, I'm very disappointed, especially considering how much we paid for fairly bland food. We paid $22 for the Chicken Katsu Massaman Curry Bowl, which arrived with only four small slices of chicken. The vast majority of the of the dish was white rice and a small side of the veggies and curry sauce. The kids Kid's Chicken and Rice came with plain, bland grilled chicken and with the same sauce as our Crab Rangoons which seems like an odd choice for a side sauce for a kid's meal. The broccoli was not steamed well, mostly raw, and still quite hard. The chicken Chow Mein was okay, but I've had better tasting dishes from Panda Express. The best part of our order was the crab rangoon and the Thai tea. I've eaten here before in-person and enjoyed the food, but this meal left so much left to be desired, I'm not sure if I will give this restaurant another chance. Really bummed this was our take-out experience."

"The pho PN3. Pho Steak Tenderloin & Brisket - like all the other pho here - is fantastic. It's the only place I order pho from anymore. Ends up being 2 decent bowls. Love the sauce and the pile of fresh herbs jalapeños onions and bean sprouts. Delicious"
"There's a reason Paris Banh Mi is one of the highest rated restaurants on DoorDash and I'm so glad I tried their amazing food. The C6. Potato Mozzarella is incredible. Crispy and crunchy on the outside and cheese that stretches a foot on the inside. Egg A1. Egg Rolls (3 Pieces) are some of the best I've had and I've had many. The PN6. Pho Brisket is Phenomenal - out of the 5-10 other places around the city I've had pho this is my favorite. Comes with a big container filled with fresh herbs veggies and sauces - basil [???] cilantro onion lime bean sprouts jalapeños chili paste chili sauce. Plenty of noodles and meat. Didn't think I was going to be able to eat everything but everything was so good there wasn't anything left at the end. Will definitely be ordering often. I'll probably never get Pho anywhere else. It's really that good."

Don't even get me started on the bread, it was still warm when it arrived and extremely fluffy. I feel bad for the guy who had to drive it here and have all the delicious smells trapped in his car. 11/10 would definitely get again."
