" If you are looking for a good pho fix, this is the place! I was impressed by the depth of flavor in their broth. I also enjoyed the ambiance of the restaurant; it didn’t feel too crowded even during peak hours. Service was acceptable although could be quicker. Will definitely be coming back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Came here for a casual dinner. It had the general vibe of a trendy spot but with friendly service. Tried the bun bo hue and was quite pleased with the layers of flavor. While I haven't tried many Vietnamese restaurants yet, this one stood out. Would love to explore more of the menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" Ba Bar is nothing short of amazing! I recently had their vegetarian vermicelli and was blown away by the combination of flavors—they nailed the balance of sweetness and savory. The ambiance is also perfect for a night out with friends. Our server was attentive without being intrusive, which made the evening all the more enjoyable. Highly recommendable! " (*Curated Review*)

" Ba Bar is a great spot for a casual dinner! We had burgers, and they were quite juicy, but honestly, I'm primarily there for the Vietnamese dishes. I found my pho pretty tasty as well. Parking was a bit tricky, but that’s to be expected in the area. Service was quite attentive. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited during lunch and had their classic pho. It was very flavorful but compared to other places I've had, it felt a bit small on serving size. Nevertheless, the overall experience was good; the service was polite, and the atmosphere was nice and relaxed. I'd give it another shot next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the pho from here, and it was fine, but the flavor didn't amaze me. The service was nice and friendly, but I was expecting more based on the reviews I read. The ambiance is decent, but I think I have had better Vietnamese in other places. " (*Curated Review*)

" While the venue has a lovely atmosphere, I found the food to be just average. The pho didn't have much of a kick and seemed a tad overpriced for what you get. On the whole, the service was decent at best. Probably won't rush back. " (*Curated Review*)
