Bep Vietnamese Kitchen

Took my kids here on a rainy day to support our local businesses and try something new (to them). Pleasantly surprised - safe bet for kids but not very authentic. Clean, friendly staff and reasonable prices. I got the pork bon Mi which was very good but the pork reminded me of extra sweet beef jerky. Delicious bread— perfectly toasted, but again, not authentic spices/flavor. My 3 yo got chicken nuggets which are basic as expected but did the trick — breading thick which he wasn’t a fan of but fries were hot and crispy. He ended up liking my 7 yo daughter’s kids size Pho the most— they slurped down the whole bowl and had fun using chopsticks and adding hoisin. We also got two boba smoothies— taro and chocolate— both very good. We will be back with Daddy next time!

The shrimp pho was a bit bland, but the P1 dish I ordered was somewhat better. Perhaps I am accustomed to the pho prepared by my friend.

The atmosphere is more cafe-like than a traditional restaurant. The open windows give a breath of fresh air and sunlight that is far more welcomed than artificial variants. I like they keep everything open, airy and non-constricted. The kitchen appears prepped for ease of access and unless you add Hoison Sauce or Sriracha your Pho will be very bare bones. While the ingredients are fresh, and the prices are fair - I have to admit that i dont like the feeling of going somewhere and feeling "You know, I couldve made this at home". I wanna be wowed in the sense that something is created that i cannot readily recreate. A little bone broth, some bean sprouts, thai basil and a protein variant of choice and i could be enjoying this at home, having made it myself. I tried the dry version of Pho

It was a cold and dreary day and the perfect day for some pho. I had the special pho and it was delicious! Broth was flavorful and aromatic. So glad we found this place!

overall, i really enjoy bep. the service is always very nice, they are clean, and efficient. however, i think the quality has dwindled. i first tried bep for boba and thought it was very good, however now when i get boba i find that the tapioca pearls are not cooked for long enough. they are not soft and chewy, but cold and hard. tonight i ordered the strawberry matcha boba. it was very yummy for about the first third of it, after that the matcha became grainy and the tapioca pearls ruined it for me. overall i still enjoy bep, but i think that there should be a standard to return to.
