My first experience with this cuisine style, had an enjoyable meal full of surprises. Personally not my favorite cuisine but I had an overall enjoyable experience. The service is friendly and the food is affordable. Pictured is the rice combination dish, several pho entrees, shrimp/beef summer rolls, coffee with cream, bahn mi sandwichand tea.
It's nice to find small restaurants that have really good food and a warm exciting energy. You'll enjoy your meal. Great food! I got the fried wontons and then then number 33 or 34 the grilled pork and the shredded pork. with rice. Great meal, great prices, and fast. Excellent Pho!
Bahn mi: great, they add garlic butter in it
Bun Bo hue:amazing! Besides pho, this one is a must try. It says it’s a spicy broth but pretty mild with the chili oil on top. The extra large option is great for sharing.
Crepe wrapper with minced pork: good
Sticky rice: it’s very good! It has Chinese sausage, crispy peanut, mushroom, Vietnamese pork cake, fried onion, cilantro, sticky rice
Combination rice dish: great, I love the sunny side up egg with rice, the pork is marinated well so it’s very flavorful.
Crispy wontons: very crispy
My go to for Vietnamese for the longest time here in Cols. I definitely recommend traditional fare like Pho and summer rolls. But for now, photos are for brunch and my fav is the combination rice which has a variety of goodies. Also, tried for the first time their crepe with minced pork and it also has that great Vietnamese flavor.
Not your fanciest restaurant. Good menu. Reasonable prices.
Bubble tea was refreshing. Spring rolls was a little dry. Grill pork with rice was okay. Smaller portion of meat.
The pho was great. Oil and garlic peppers makes a huge difference. Will probably go back for the Pho and bubble tea.
The broth tasted fresh and decent without thick seasonings. However, the beef stuffs in large size were not enough for a hungry person or meat lover. Their beef slices were thin and fresh. Beef ball and tendons were also tasty. It is necessary to add more beef in the pho.
Food was really good.
My order of combination rice was a little small but every one else in my party had really generous servings.
We went at lunch hour so service was a little slow but our waiter was very polite and helpful.
Attentive service. Delicious Pork Banh mi and phenomenal pho with rare beef! Location makes it a hole in the wall but it’s absolutely worth the stop!! Egg rolls are ok.
This is definitely a eat at the restaurant type place. We ordered the well done steak pho and it was OK as to go but MUCH much better in person. Price was very good and service was fast. I ordered through the phone and it was ready for pick up in less than 10 minutes!

Excellent execution of authentic and homey comfort foods. My pho was authentic and fresh I loved having my meatballs and Thai tea! They open at 10:30am everyday with an exception of Wednesday. I did show up at 10:45 and they did not have bubbles / tapioca pearls prepared but let me know they make those later in the evening. I feel like the items are moderately priced and the staff is also authentic. No matter how many times I said “cảm ơn” there was no reply, felt right at home ha!
Love the atmosphere and the customer service here. Very friendly and welcoming. Beef pho and the chicken Banh Mi was really tasty. Definitely coming back again to try the rest of the menu!
Mi Li Cafe is one of those hidden gems you wouldn't know about unless you looked hard enough. It's a prime location between 161 north and Cleveland Ave. The restaurant has been here for 15 years with the original owners. Price is fair and food is delicious. Definitely have to try to ice coffee or the banh mi. I would highly recommend.
A real gem of this off the wall Pho in the Columbus Ohio area. We ordered the Chicken and Combo Pho on large portions. We asked for extra bills to share. The minced crepe was great on flavor too. Very affordable and service was on point. Nothing fancy. You don't have to wear your Sunday clothes. We highly recommend to our friends and family. We will come again
For context, I have been blessed with opportunities to travel to Vietnam in recent years, and have fallen in love with noodle soup (pho). One of the friends I made in Vietnam has moved to the US, and my family and I got to help make pho for a meal together, which was awesome. This same friend recommended this restaurant, and anytime I'm in the area, I try to eat here.
Excellent authentic pho.
This is a simple restaurant, not where you go for a fancy gathering, and probably not for a first date, but an excellent meal as always. Bonus points in that they also have an "extra large" option, great for larger appetites (not that the large is lacking. My picture is of the large). I was on motorcycle, and several miles from home, so I didn't want all that broth to have to...process through, lol. Large pho was around $11, extra large around $14. There were other sizes, I just didn't pay attention to those costs since I wasn't entertaining smaller than large. 😊.
Only a couple miles from Iron Pony, so my motorcycling siblings can eat here before dreaming and shopping.
When first walking in, the aroma in the air is amazing!!! Smells like the best pho you’re about to eat. Also, super busy which is usually a good thing!
Ordered the large pho ga, great portions and tasty. But, the pho broth tasted diluted and more like water than broth. It was a let down esp with how good it smells walking in.
Good, quick service & yummy Thai tea
This was the most delicious pho. This was my first time eating pho and I will definitely be back to try all of the other options. The broth was very clear and clean tasting. The added veggies were very fresh.
