5ive Spice Tacos & Banh Mi is a fun fusion spot that blends Vietnamese and Mexican flavors in a creative way. The bánh mì is crisp and flavorful, while the tacos bring a bold, unexpected twist. Everything felt fresh and satisfying. The casual vibe and quick, friendly service make it a great grab-and-go option in the area.

I was really looking forward to eating here and wanted to try the taco. I loved the corn cotija very delicious but the tacos fell apart and felt the flavour was quite bland. No one came to my table and took my order or even checked in. The place has high ratings but I unfortunately did not experience the same

Went there for lunch and got the short rib pho. So flavorful. The soup is well balanced and the short ribs are also marinated with the right spices. The serving size is big for one person. I also love the interior and its atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Great starters but the chicken pho wasn’t as flavorful as I had hoped. Atmosphere was cosy and service was great — Lidia was very kind & helpful. Overall good experience.

The ice cup we received to pour our soda into looked like there was oil or soap in it. When the soda was poured into the cup there was a weird film on top. The food itself was ok, tasty but not fresh. We got the summer roll and rice & chicken dish. The food came out fast which is not a bad thing. But I think chef Mike warmed up the chicken so it was not fresh. The chicken also seemed dry probably from microwaving. For a sit down restaurant I would expect better.

Ordered to go first time, $25 with tip for Bahn Mi and Brussels sprouts, which felt alright for the area. Pleasantly surprised when the bahn mi was stuffed to the brim, and Brussels were in a 16oz to go container. Food is great and portions justified the price for sure. highly recommend

Overall solid menu but not the best Vietnamese restaurant you’ll ever eat at. Recommend the vermicelli bowl with lemongrass chicken

Fantastic place for comforting Vietnamese food. We tried the Pho as well as some of their fried chicken appetizers. Highly recommend any of the pho dishes, as well as the Yuca Chips. I'm a fan of strong coffee and the Vietnamese Coffee was just right. I'd go back just for the coffee, indeed. Lots of space for big parties indoors.

Best veggie banh mi I’ve ever had! Balanced flavor, great texture of soy protein, and loaded with shredded veggies. Just as good the next as leftovers, which is always a bonus. Pickup was quick and easy.

Edited my review on 1/11/26:the derive is not attentive at all. Went on Sunday and the restaurant was not busy but staff was just chatting between themselves. Old review: Shaking beef is the best. Pho is also good but I like the dry ones better. Service was attentive and welcomed. Bathroom door is hidden but fun.

Disgusting and unsanitary. Food scraps in the water, and when I flagged it, both staff and manager/owner tried to pass it off as "mint" - it was beansprouts, a piece of onion, and grease/impurities. Staff immediately took water away, and owner just shrugged and said sorry we'll get you a new water. If the water isn't even clean who knows what's in the food.
