Mi Li Cafe

One of the most authentic Vietnamese restaurants we have in Columbus, Ohio. I ordered the banh mi, Vietnamese coffee, and hu tieu, and everything was absolutely delicious. You can truly taste the authenticity in every dish. They were very busy, which just shows how loved this place is, but the staff was incredibly sweet, welcoming, and attentive. If you’re looking for real Vietnamese flavors done right, this spot is a must-visit.

The pho ingredients were very fresh. The broth lacked some flavor but the bahn mi was amazing- the bread was perfect. Excellent service. They were out of boba but the blended strawberry drink was delicious. No wait but they were packed!

Placed an order for carry out pho on a Sunday afternoon and it was ready in 10 min. Very authentic Vietnamese food, everyone in the back was asian (which is generally a great sign) and several parties of other Asians walked in at the same time as myself (which is double whammy guaranteed authentic good food)… and it was exactly that. Good portions, reasonable pricing, authentic, broth was a little on the sweeter side but still really good. Will be back.

Food has been consistent. Got the pho dac biet and banh mi. Pho was hot and tastes very well. And the banh mi was just the right amount of pate and flavor to the sub. Has the right amount of toast. Been coming here for almost a decade. Will return for more!

Had pho and banh mi here. Excellent pho! Broth was delicious. They had culantro with the vegetables which was a new one for me (no that's not cilantro) but it was delicious. Fried wontons were hot and delicious and the banh mis were incredible, primarily the bread. Bread was phenomenally crisp and crunchy and the fillings were standard but still good. I've had similar fillings at other Vietnamese restaurants but the bread here is by far the best I've ever had. And you can order the bread by itself either in store or to go!
