An okay ish for me. I have been to several branch and maybe this is my least favorite. The broth somehow different but i can’t pin point what’s what. They put the condiment bar just right around the corner where people move around which not ideal at least for me. But i guess maybe because it’s small compared to the other branch. The server is nice but again not as attentive as the other branch. But still okay i guess. Oh and plus point for the interior!

One of the best Vietnamese franchises here in Jakarta. The flavour was spot-on, and the service was quick too.

Soothing fresh flavourful Pho broth with gigantic potion sizes, vegetables, chicken, beef, rolls, and buns. Simmering aromatic spices draw you in as you test your patience as the choices are so varied, and the customers are in awe. Do not miss the additional condiments available for you to top up on. Mind you, this may also delay the line as a customer before you orders. To top it off, you are greeted by awesome chefs that serve each order as you wait in line to pick your dish on the go. Reach the end of the line and pay all under 5-7min. They literally set a track record at efficiency at its best. There is a selection of drinks and deserts in the fridge at the end of the line. Weekday tables are always available. However, as the place is popular and budget friendly on weekends and public holidays, you do need to wait for a place. Family friendly with larger seating available.

Tried this place coz I'm craving a warm broth lol 1. Phở Bò Tái (65k) The broth was good! It's quite savory, the sliced beef I think only 5 slices. Not that soft but still okay. Need to add lime, extra cilantro (+6k) and the green chili! 2. Gà Lụi Muối ớt (15k) This one was so so. Not spicy as the name, not as kicking. Need more salt and chili. 3. Cá Viên Chiên (25k) Hmmm nothing impressive. Pretty savory and chewy. 4. Chả Giò Vegan (20k) You definitely need to reheat this. It contains tofu and mushroom iirc. This one was also so-so. Not that good but not bad. Need chili to compliment this. 5. Lime Lemongrass (20k) Sooo refreshing! Not too sour and not too sweet. Wish the lemongrass would be stronger. Overall the food was okay. Not something mind blowing but pretty comforting. The side dishes was so-so and quite pricey.

Went here to eat my first Pho ever--the food was o.k. and service so, but the price.. well, not for me. Turns out i didn't have love to pho, either. so call me biased, but still i will give them the five stars because why not? Oh but! The noodle texture is amazingly soft and gentle. Got no time to take the documentation back then so i'll just drop them stars here. Well done Pho Ba Ba!
