Description

Nestled in a lively neighborhood, this restaurant offers an authentic culinary experience with a focus on fresh ingredients and bursting flavors. Diners rave about the delicious banh mi, particularly praising its unique soy protein, and the tender Shaking Beef rice dish, though some found the rice occasionally overcooked. Cash-only transactions may deter some, yet the quick service, intimate atmosphere, and charming decor—especially the cleverly concealed bathroom—add to its charm. While experiences may vary, many agree this spot is perfect for both casual dining and pre-concert bites, making it a must-visit for local food enthusiasts.

I've been coming here regularly for the past 2 years. They're quick and the food is good and plentiful. But enough with the cash only. Sorry, it's 2024 and it's ridiculous. If they don't want to pay the credit card fee, they can add a card fee to the check like many places do now.

Great place for pho and quick bites, not a proper set up for dinner dates but just casual. Cash only!

The pho at this restaurant was incredible with a flavorful broth. The atmosphere is small but enjoyable. They only accept cash as payment.

I enjoyed my experience at 5ive Spice. I am a huge fanatic of Pho. I am always looking for a new place to try. The pho was delicious and portions are big. I ordered extra meat which costs $6 extra. I was delighted to see that the extra portion was a while plate filled with meat. The Vietnamese iced coffee was delicious. I also had the summer rolls and the spring rolls which were both filled with so much flavor. I would definitely come back here. A good thing to note is that they are a cash only restaurant.
