I placed a pick up order and the food was hot and ready when I arrived. You are able to grab any to-go toppings or utensils needed. The restaurant is smaller, but there is some seating if u want to eat there. The Pho itself was really tasty the packaging separated the pho toppings like jalapeño, basil, and bean sprouts. The portions were fairly big and I had leftovers to eat the next day. I would recommend extra cilantro and onions when ordering pho of u enjoy like I do!
Headed over to get a quick early dinner and we ordered from the digital counter. There isn't much inside seating and the space is small so we opted for the to go option. The order came out pretty fast and they provided all the utensils we needed. Spring Rolls - Pretty decent spring rolls, it was filled with shrimp, lettuce and vermicelli mainly but the star of it was the peanut sauce. It was sweet, creamy, aromatic and had a pretty bold peanut flavor. Pork Banh Mi - It was a decent size for two people to share. The pork inside was soft and flavorful from the seasoning. I enjoyed the pickled veggies for the freshness it brought and the bun was easy to bite into, soft with a light crunch. The only downside was pricing as it was 10 dollars for two spring rolls. Though for a quick dinner, this was a great option and they also had some pho and meal combo menu items as well.
I had the Lemongrass Pork Vermicelli with Fish Sauce and it was delicious. The pork was juicy and flavorful, and the greens balance out the greasiness well. I wish there was a little more of the vermicelli, but they gave a generous portion of meat and veggies. However, this bowl was $17 which was pricey, so this won't be a place I come back frequently but definitely a solid spot for viet food!
Vinason is a small place across from Trader Joe's in SLU with a contactless ordering system and limited seating. The food is fast and tasty, if a little pricey.
Solid spot for a quick bite in SLU! Staff is really efficient and helpful. I got the lemongrass chicken vermicelli bowl which was pretty good! Portion size was really generous and I was stuffed after. The chicken was a little sweet for my taste but it was still pretty yummy. Vegetables were fresh and the vermicelli was great as well. Definitely recommend checking this place out for some quick and filling Vietnamese food!
Ohmygod, I had some of the best Vietnamese food I've ever had at this restaurant! They have so many vegan and vegetarian friendly options. The vegan pho broth is literally to die for and I will be craving it until I come back. It was extremely flavorful without being too salty, and it was such a comforting bowl of broth. I really appreciated that you can order just broth for $4, because I was able to have a taste of soup alongside my banh mi. The tofu banh mi is a delicious vegetarian option. The bread was soft and not too hard to chew. It was packed with a hefy portion of tofu and fresh, crunchy veggies. I walked to the restaurant, but I can imagine it being difficult to find parking. It's more of a small storefront actually but there are a couple of seats for you to enjoy your meal inside. I recommend placing your order in advance using the Snackpass app! I placed an order before heading to the store, and it was ready within 10 minutes. I will certainly be back to try the rest of the menu. :)
