Vintage Vibe, Aesthetically Pleasing Food, and Cool Breezy Seatings Interior, Design, & Atmosphere: This place presents itself as something you might already be familiar with. It feels old but not rundown, more of a vintage classic vibe. They don't use AC, but the indoor or outdoor seating is not hot. There's ample airflow, allowing cool breezes to enter. There are some artifacts, paintings, and other decorations scattered around, making it pleasing and aesthetic to the eye. It also allows guests to take Instagrammable photos with a Vietnamese theme. The seating is quite limited; I didn't get a choice for indoor seating, but nevertheless, the outdoor seating was good, if not better than the indoor. The long outdoor table where I was seated vibrated a lot. This might be due to the constant traffic on Legian Road, which could frustrate someone looking to sit outdoors. Food & Taste: This was my first time eating Vietnamese food, so I'm not qualified to say whether the food is authentic or not. However, as someone who eats out a lot, I can say that the dishes were absolutely delicious. I ordered both the Beef Pho (Soup Noodles) and Pork Banh Mi (Sandwich). The Beef Pho was perfectly balanced. This dish shines in its simplicity. There's nothing overpowering; each element of the dish complements the others. It's a simple taste, but not bland. Each bite is rich in flavor. For the Banh Mi, the best word to describe it is "fresh." The bread tasted newly made—crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. All the filling was well-proportioned from the meat fillings to the sweet sauce and vegetables. Again, I've never eaten Vietnamese food before, but that was simply my experience. Service: The service was lacking a bit. There was no one to seat the guests. It was difficult to notify the waiter to order as they were always rushing back and forth. But something like this is always expected at a busy and bustling restaurant, so there's nothing to complain about. Price: Considering the quality, freshness, and portions you get, it is actually quite cheap. I say this because they give quite a lot of meat in their dishes, and usually, when Indonesia has meat involved (especially beef), the prices skyrocket. But here, they don't shy away when it comes to meat; they go all out. All prices do not include the governmental and service charge fee. NOTE: The special size is a huge bowl. I thought it would be for one person, but it could be for 2-3 people 😂 Overall: Definitely something to check out. Some might say the Pho looks similar to the Indonesian bakso, but they are miles apart.

The food was so tasty!! It definitely satisfied out vietnamese food cravings in Bali. The portions were spot on and for sure put us in food coma after. 😂 The spring rolls here were super crunchy and tasted delicious!! 😍 Loved their vietnamese platter because OMG you literally get to taste everything 😋 They give you two options; one with pork and one without. My favourite from the platter was the cha tom (shrimp)! 🍤 Wrapping it in lettuce with rice noodles, pickled veggies and dipping it in nuoc mam! The best!! The bun thit nuong was a nice and light meal. I found the meat to be not as fragrant and a little dry. The one with chicken was more tender and flavourful. Their flan was unfortunately a let down, as it wasn't as custardy, eggy and smooth compared to your traditional flan. The coffee flavour however, was prominent and the sauce added the sweetness it needed. 🍮 For drinks, we got their pineapple juice and bac xiu (white coffee). This was my first time having bac xiu and it was really really good - recommend. The pineapple juice was also a let down as it tasted extremely diluted. 😔 Overall, great spot to visit for some Vietnamese food, because it was delightful. Ordered; 🥢 cha gio (chicken) (fried spring rolls) 🥢 bun thit nuong (glazed grilled pork) 🥢 bun ga nuong (grilled chicken) 🥢 vietnamese platter (regular) 🍮 flan cake 🍍 pineapple juice ☕ bac xiu (white coffee)

I stayed in Bali for a month and ate at all the restaurants of this restaurant chain. First of all, it cannot be called Vietnamese food, it is really a defamation of traditional dishes known all over the world. Beyond the values of the fanciful words on the restaurant's menu, it seems to be very proud, but in reality, the proud traditional dishes of Vietnam have all been changed. It would be a shame if someone ate Pho here and thought it was Vietnamese Pho. I looked at the menu and pictures to decide to come. On the menu, Pho Bo is very attractive with pieces of rare beef, chopped and split green onions... The Pho broth does not have the slightest smell of Cardamom, not including the other spices that create its characteristics. And the funniest thing is that they don't even have pickled garlic, they put garlic in a bowl of chili sauce. No one eats or cooks Pho like that. If you want to try Vietnamese food, even if it's 50% real, don't think about this restaurant. The dishes on the menu are essentially street food that we eat every day. They removed all the unique ingredients and spices typical of each region in Vietnam and turned it into something completely different. But, it's as if they are bringing Vietnamese culinary culture to Bali as a matter of pride. Absolutely not. What a shame.

We would have given this place a higher score, we were a little disappointed with the service and quality of the food. We understand it is a new business, but when you have some hiccups in the beginning, it’s best to deal with them straight away. We went opening week hoping to taste some yummy and authentic pho, but when we arrived the chicken pho was no longer Bing sold? Mind you, this was week 1 and they were still doing the buy one get one pho deal. My partner ended up chicken rice noodle which they didn’t have at first, but then they were able to make it. So confusing. I ordered the Special Beef Pho which was fun though the broth was a little watery and peppery and lacked beef flavor. The dish coming out also looked nothing like the photos where the meat portion was lacking and the noodles were more so kweitiau (spelling) style being short and broke apart quickly and not pho which was long and had a nice chew. We went around lunchtime and it wasn’t very full though I feel it could be a very popular spot in then heart of kuta Legian area. I just hope they fix their base soon. Maybe even add some tripe to the specialty dish? Also, hot soup in hot weather doesn’t work well together unless it’s really worth it. Super clean place and super new though.

Located within legian bustling street, don't bother find a parking spot unless you park at a hotel or somewhere and walk. Love this vietnam resto so much. No failure at all!! Came here for late lunch around 3PM, not too crowded, place spacious has indoor outdoor and second floor. Service excellent they know the menu and fast response. Food also came out fast. Had the pork satay (IDR 70k), oh my God, the juiciest pork satay, not oily though, juicy. To eat it is by wraping the pork satay, glass noodles, sauce with veggies, like the korean wrap but vietnam style. The sauce is spicy sweet but more sweet savory, which I love . Bahn Mi, has medium or large, has the medium regular one (45k), you could choose the fillings, popular one is pork meatball, but I choose the ham one. The baguette is crispy but soft perfect texture, fillings generous, ham delicious, combine it with their typical brown sauce on the table, perfect!! Pho Bo with meatballs and meat regular size (70k), portion big, fillings generous, slice beef tender, meatball just fine nothing special. But the broth is superb! I don't have to add anything else, taste is balance not too salty but not bland either. Would miss MeVui when I came back to Jakarta

The food is actually fairly good here! I came here 4 times and tried the banh mi, heu tieu, egg rolls, bun bo xao, and all were good!! The service isn’t the best. I got there at 8:50 for 9am opening and workers saw me and i waited till 9:01 to ask if they r open and they said they r opening in 15 min so i said ok and then another guy comes and says it’ll be an hour…. lol i dunno why they would just watch someone waiting in front of their restaurant and not let them know it’s not gonna open for another hour… 🤔🤷♂️ Update: i changed the rating from 3 to 4 since i came by a second time in the morning. I was worried about the restaurant not being open on time, so i went 30 min late at 9:30am and they were open and serving! So i got pho for breakfast and it just hit the spot! the soup was so good! 😊 The waitress Eli working in the morning was super great! I’ve been craving Vietnamese food so coming here every day and i have changed my review to 5 stars after eating breakfast here twice around 9:30am.
