Bà Bu — Restaurant in Helsinki sub-region

Edit: 23 march 2025, I have been back several times now and the broth has improved considerably. I would go even as far as to say possibly the best pho in town. I will gladly come back for more!

Today i took it to go and they packed the spices to go! That is what I call excellence in service! Thank you!

Ordered a beef pho. It was decent, just about everything you would expect from it. In order to upgrade it so it would compete with Pho Nokis, you guys need to make the stock properly, you know, boil the bones and whatnot for a while. This stock tasted of slight salt and coriander.

The onion kimchi was delicious and a nice surprise.

The lady at the counter was flustered, clearly overworked, she first tried to give me some rice dish, as she had orders mixed up, meanwhile 2 young lads with Ba Bu shirts were sitting down in the customer area.

Adding some more sauce trays so you dont need to move them from one table to another is a small expense.

Overall, yes, I will come back and try some...

A Hidden Gem of Vietnamese Cuisine!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this newly opened Vietnamese restaurant, and I must say, it exceeded all expectations! From the moment we walked in, the service was warm and welcoming, making us feel right at home.

The menu offers an authentic selection of Vietnamese dishes, and each one we tried was bursting with flavor. The pho was rich and aromatic, the fresh spring rolls were light yet satisfying, and the banh mi was the perfect combination of crunchy and savory. Every bite was a true reflection of the care and craftsmanship that went into the preparation.

What really stood out was the attentive and friendly service. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that we had an exceptional dining experience, answering questions and making thoughtful recommendations.

Overall, this place is a must-visit for anyone who loves Vietnamese food or is looking to try something new. I will definitely be returning and highly recommend...

Great southern Vietnam style pho! I highly recommend the rare beef pho.

I always come here for a giant bowl of pho. The broth is excellent and flavourful, you can tell they’ve spent hours preparing it.

They are very generous with the meat portion, you’ll get a mix of cuts when ordering the rare beef pho with some flank thrown in there.

I wish the noodles were slightly less cooked, mine were a little too soft which meant they kept breaking.

The pho is served with pickled garlic, chilli oil, kimchi onions. I really enjoy these accoutrements, especially the pickled garlic as it’s very vinegary and cuts through the richness of the broth. This is what makes the pho more southern Vietnamese, as the northern style would be served with hoisin sauce, fresh beansprouts, coriander and lime.

I always try to visit this spot for pho when I’m in Finland, highly...
