Bạn Tôi Restaurant

One of the best Vietnamese restaurants I've been to. It's clean, simple menu with authentic dishes, reasonable price, and great service!

Quite disappointed. I had the snails. They weren't bad; however, hardly a meal. The other person had the crawfish. We also had a side of rice, yet left hungry. Service at lunchtime was not great, given how few people in the restaurant. We probably will not go again. Expensive for the little amount of food served.

I have been spoiled and very particular about food is that my wife was a very good cook. Eating out is the only option when we are lazy to prepare meal. A friend of my sister-on-law recommended this new eatery, Ban Toi Restaurant. I was about to stop by Pho Le again but opted out because some other reasons.
This Ban Toi 'restaurant' should think about changing their statue to attrack more customers both open-minded or a bit of western and old culture minded. It looks like a bit more than an eatery with nice and decent setup of modern furniture - I really like their choices for granite tables, and heavy duty chair. They are comfortable, not as flimsy as most asian 'restaurant'.
Now the food... Our friend told us that the beef noodles aka 'pho' is really good, more than others. I decided to pick 'mì quãng', noodle soup Quang style because I could not find a good place to make the just right broth. After more than 36 years, I am able to enjoy this 'mì quãng' again. I had to exclaim... it was really good. My wife and my sister-in-law picked the chicken noodle soup. Like I said, she really loved the broth because it was the heart and soul of the soup. The chicken... it was the really cage-free chicken or 'gà đi bộ'. The texture of chicken was chewy and really tasty - if you have eaten commercially or industrially raised chicken, you know what I meant. We really enjoyed the food, and the place's casual atmosphere. That was why I do rethink about calling the place a restaurant or eatery. At the end of the day, I strongly recommend you to pay a visit. So far, they will have 3 more regular customers. My next visit of beef noodle, I will update my review.

Great food. Good service. Best Vietnamese food I've ever had. Try the snails, the satay squid (not pictured), and the conch with garlic. Absolutely amazing. I'd never had them before and now I order them every time I go. A must try.

The staff was very friendly. I enjoyed the food and the service. My only reproach is that they didn’t have enough options on their menu especially side orders. Even their appetizers are like a whole meal. I would recommend this place for anyone with an interest in Vietnamese cuisine.
