Got the lemongrass grilled pork bun vermicelli noodles and it was delicious. The summer rolls were amazing too. Honestly a hidden gem in the city!

Came here for dinner since we were in the area! The pho broth was flavorful and overall was a decent bowl of pho. The meat was a little tough though and took a bit of chewing to get down. I did enjoy the order of spring rolls that we ordered and thought they were perfectly fried! Small restaurant and they're also cash only so make sure you have cash on you!

Nice food and quick service! The restaurant is small but has a lot of tables, so it's a kinda intimate atmosphere.

This place was so good - something to note is that they only accept cash, so come prepared! I started off with the shrimp spring rolls, they were so light and flavorful. They came with a great peanut butter-y dipping sauce, and you are really able to taste every ingredient in one bite. The spring rolls get a 9/10! I ordered the short rib tacos, and they were incredible. I opted for all of the toppings on the side and ended up using all of them. The meat was super tender, the flavor of all of the toppings added a nice balance of sweet heat. I can't wait to come back here! Services was also great. The staff is very attentive and accommodating. We opted to sit outside and i love the chill vibe of the place!

Low key casual spots but one of the best for Vietnamese food in the city. The meat is seasoned really good in all the dishes. I didn't try the pho but did have the summer rolls, Ban Xeo Taco and the Bun salad bowl. Will definitely be back at some point to try the pho and banh mi sandwich.

CASH ONLY! Limited seating and small space. You've been warned. I don't think you can order wrong here. The tacos were huge and looked dank as hell. The lemongrass pork was delicious and my noodle dish was light and fresh, just as you'd expect. I'd return and absolutely have to try the banh mi. I don't have much more to say -- order well and be prepared to feel a little squished in due to the small interior.

My first time trying 5ive Spice yesterday. Delivery was great - very quick. Food was good. Great packaging with separate compartments for main entree and toppings. Basil was absent, only greens. One small side sauce (included) was not enough to cover the entire meal. Suggest buying extra sauce, if you like sauce with your food. Vietnamese food is delicious.

We managed to get seated right away on Saturday for dinner in their outdoor area. Despite how cold it is outside, the outdoor sheds are actually very warm and comfortable. We got a house salad and lemongrass chicken banh mi. We also got short rib tacos. The portions were so large and generous and everything was so flavorful. The taco was a little challenging to eat and kind of fell apart but the ribs are fall apart tender. The banh mi was delicious as well. Can't wait to try more dishes from here.

I came here with my friends the other week for lunch. It wasn't too crowded, we were able to sit right away. We ordered the pho, chicken banh mi sandwich, and for me the shaking beef vermicelli noodles. They give a pretty good portion. The sandwich was very big and filling. I tried a little bit of the broth from the pho and it was very flavorful. The beef with the vermicelli noodles was very tender and tasty. Can't wait to go back! Interesting fact - Bathroom is hidden behind the bookcase. It was confusing at first.
