The pho was not even mediocre. Barely any bean sprouts, salty broth that lacks flavor. Asked for some cilantro, they gave me like 3-4 pieces, couldn’t even taste it in my soup. Would rather have an instant pho from Costco.

If you are looking for some good Vietnamese food here, I'd definitely recommend you try this place out. It's in the food hall at Salt city. I had the bun thit nuong (aka cold rice noodle bowl with grilled pork) and their Vietnamese iced coffee. The bowl was refreshing and flavorful. The ice coffee is delicious, and yes they use cafe de monde coffee.

Amazing food. The peanut bowl is to die for and they actually give you a serving size that makes sense (don't expect leftovers). Normally I hate going to the city for anything but parking is super easy here mid-day (and free if you're in the parking lot). Definitely worth it.

I tried the vegan banh mi and the vegan noodle bowl. Both were definitely decent. But, I have had better vegan banh mi elsewhere (though not in Syracuse), and I wouldn't have gotten the noodle bowl had I known that it was served cold. The prices here are reasonable though and the lady at the counter was very nice. I have to give this place credit for having vegan options that are more than just an afterthought. If you're looking to try Vietnamese food, but don't eat meat, this place is definitely worth a try! And if you do eat meat, they've got you covered as well!

If you are a fan of Vietnamese food, you need to try Mamma Hai’s! During the Syracuse Dining Weeks, their lunch special was phenomenal. The lunch special included your choice of bahn mi, a taro egg roll (which is absolutely to die for), and a bottle of water. The first time that I ate here, I was not let down. The lemongrass coconut curry chicken bahn mi is incredible. The toasted peanuts compliment the tender braised chicken but does not overpower it. I particularly enjoyed the fact that the coconut curry braising liquid is used as a sauce to moisten the bread and to give a bit of liquid to the sandwich. This gives the sandwich the perfect balance between the saucy chicken and the crusty French baguette that is expected with a bahn mi. The taro egg roll is downright amazing. The first time I had one, I was mesmerized by the texture and flavor of the taro pairing with the thin crispy exterior of the egg roll wrap. My second time dining in I ordered the Marco Polo bahn mi, which as the name implies, has influence from Asia as well as Europe. This sandwich has a homemade steamed chicken sausage, sliced pepperoni, and char siu pork (which is a Cantonese barbecue pork), and their signa
