Hue Banh Mi & Pho Cafe, Kent OH

Ordered from Uber eats and was so impressed. Packaging was great for the pho (it even came in its own little bowl). So many toppings and so fresh! Was very pleased and will order again.

As a college student, this place is my “healing spot” whenever I feel homesick. I love their banh mi and grilled pork, but bun bo hue is def my fav, just as good as the one I had in Vietnam. I can’t wait to try everything on their menu and still waiting for them to be available on Doordash

My boyfriend and I stopped for lunch/dinner. We love trying new places and he is from NYC so he is hard to please. The food here was amazing, I got their beef stew, steamed pork bun and iced latte and will be back many times to get it again. Service was great and super friendly. I have never written a review for anywhere before but this place deserves their 5 star rating and more people should try them!

Omg what a hidden gem! This place is amazing. Staff was great. Location is smaller so mainly take out but there are 2 tables to sit at. Super clean and the space was cooled. No public restrooms though.

Food was amazing. I ordered the special pho and my partner ordered the beef pho. Flavorful! Tons of toppings for it. Everything was nicely packaged even though we sat in and ate. They even asked if we wanted cooked beef (because some people don’t like seeing the raw beef).

I got a Viet iced coffee with condensed milk to drink. Overall, they really take the time to provide quality take out. Food was great and service was great. Will definitely be coming back!

This place is truly incredible. My friend group ordered multiple Bánh Mìs and the savory pancakes [vegetarian substitutes] and the food is delicious! Not to mention how great the boba is! This is officially one of my favorite places to eat in Kent and definitely has my favorite boba tea in the area!

The most delicious spot in Kent for Vietnamese food! They don't offer a vegetarian pho (they mentioned maybe having one in the future) but if you are okay with beef broth like me, they will happily swap the meat for tofu. Went for the first time last night and have been thinking about it all morning! I will be back soon!

Get the chicken and rice. Coming from someone who has been raised on good Vietnamese food this place is delicious. The nuoc cham here is properly fishy and umami packed unlike many other Vietnamese restaurants.

Incredible banh mi. Super fresh and huge portions. Be aware there's no eat-in dining. Takes cash and card.

This has quickly become my favorite spot in Kent. Since I discovered this gem a couple weeks ago, I've already been back several times, and I when my family came to visit, I knew this was the place they had to try. Everyone loved it! I've always gotten a bánh mì because they are just too delicious, but I love the variety of choices of meat you can choose to have on your bánh mì. The bread is also fresh, crispy on the outside and nice and fluffy on the inside. The meats are very flavorful. The veggies add a nice crunch, and I love that they are pickled while still tasting very fresh. The size of the sandwich for the price is also just an incredible deal, I'd say nearly 2x bigger and 20x better than any other bánh mì in town. I've also gotten their summer rolls which tasted fresh and delicious with a really tasty peanut sauce and their Bánh Bao steamed buns which were also really great. They also have convenient online ordering and prepare orders quickly. They don't have seating, but that's not really an issue for me. I don't mind taking my food to go, especial when it's this good. Service is always really friendly too! I only wish that they were open just a little later as it always seems to be about 5 or 10 minutes after 8 when I think about wanting to eat dinner, and they're already closed. But I understand that as a family business, hours may need to be limited. I hope they find success here in Kent and are around for a long while. If you haven't tried Huế Cafe yet, you need to!

Their bun bo is amazing as well as their banh mi! The broth is so good and the veggies are so fresh. I’ve tried a variety of things on their menu but these two are definitely my favorites. My family and I love coming here!

Really great Vietnamese food at an affordable price. I really hope that this restaurant does well because it's a really great addition to Kent especially in the area around the University. There are no tables inside and it's take-out only but that's not a problem at all. Would highly recommended!

This has quickly become the only takeout spot in Kent for me. The produce is always fresh, the service is great and the prices are perfect even on a student budget. The BM9 báhn mì is my go to but you can try something new every time and always eat well. I’m grateful this gem is in Kent and I will continue telling anyone that will listen about it.

This is the best, by far, Vietnamese restaurant around! Tastes very authentic and fresh. Tried their food in March and have been dreaming of having it again. Unfortunately, I studied abroad and just as I returned I learned they are closed. Sending my well wishes and praying for a speedy recovery!

Every time I've been here the food has been so amazing. The meat is so well flavored and the sandwich is so fresh and the bread is crispy and amazing! There should be out the door, their food has never disappointed me!

What a little treat! I'd never had a banh mi before, and I was pleased with the combination of sweet, savory and zesty! They also make this place stand out from the other pho restaurant a block up the street! For a soft open, they're doing quite well right now. The only thing they need is a place to eat!

I have been here like three times in the past week because the food is so good and affordable. The banh mis and bao buns are excellent, and quite frankly the Vietnamese milk coffee alone is enough to make me a repeat customer. Everything is made with fresh, high quality ingredients—the veggies that come with the bao buns and sandwiches have so much flavor and crunch. I hope they find a lot of success because a truly well-done restaurant like this is a welcome addition to Kent.:)

Everything was amazing from the pho to the Thai milk tea! The flavor was amazing and everything was extremely fresh! The customer service was also amazing!

Delicious food! Everything tasted and smelled so good and it was extremely well priced too. Got 2 full banh mi + 3 bao for $20! Will definitely be back.

I’m Vietnamese and very impressed. Especially blown away by the attention to detail— usually restaurants omit some of the very classical ethnic accoutrements for convenience (and to cater to an American clientele) … they didn’t leave them out here. The BBH comes with the proper herbs and homemade sate. Everything was packaged neatly and with care. Really hope they maintain their diligence and attention to detail as their business grows! Food was delicious. Quality akin to an eatery you’d find in a larger city (Houston/PHL/LA).
