This was a casual Vietnamese restaurant where you order and pay first. There is outdoors seating if you'd like to people watch but there are also regular tables. It doesn't seem like they have much staff so they weren't as fast as some places but I didn't feel that it took too long. We both ordered the bun bo hue medium spicy, but I really wish it had been spicier personally. It had a very clean fresh taste and the meat was tender. I also ordered a banana smoothie, which was made with real fruit, not flavor powder. It was delicious and not too sweet. There is plenty of street parking in the area depending on what time you go.

Food was really good and service was too. I really enjoyed the Thai tea. I also enjoyed the kids pictures on the walls

Best Pho in Pasadena, hands down. The broth is flavorful, rich, and deep. The beef is tender and the noodles al-dente.

One of the best kept secrets in Pasadena for rice and vermicelli bowls, bahn mi, pho and sandwiches. Cute family owned and ran little cafe with indoor and patio seating serving up Vietnamese favorites vermicelli bun noodle bowls and pho. It's been here for years and you probably passed it many times - so many regular customers love this hole in the wall. They even have espresso drinks, Vietnamese coffee, bubble tea, Thai tea, iced coffees and also made fresh! Parking on nearby streets. The cafe is decorated with their young son's sketches which is very fun! Definitely worth the try. Vegan dishes too!

Food: delicious Service: fast and efficient Ambiance: great. I ordered the beef spring rolls. Total came out $7.99 The peanut sauce was tasty and had some crunch to it.

I will start by saying that I'm not familiar with authentic Vietnamese food, so I don't have much to compare to lol! With that said, I had a craving for spring rolls and pho, so I walked in to the closest spot that can fulfill both of my cravings. Enter Ginger and Spice Noodle. It looks like a bit of a hole-in-the-wall, but I didn't care too much about how the place looked for a quick lunch bite. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. I ordered the Spring Rolls with shrimp and beef, and also wanted pho, but I felt like it was going to be too much food. I asked if there's a smaller portion that I could order, and she kindly offered me a kid-size portion for $10. Perfect, exactly what I wanted! Thank you for offering this to me. I sat solo by the window seat and people watched as I waited for my two items. I've read previous reviews that the food takes a while, but my order came out within 15mins - very reasonable in my opinion! Again, I'm not too familiar with pho, but I liked how it came with bean sprouts and other toppings on the side so I can control how much to put in. There could have been a bit more meat, but again, I got a kid-portion so I guess that was to be expected. The broth was light and the noodles were delicious - I enjoyed this! The spring rolls tasted fresh and sealed my craving! I'm allergic to peanuts so I paired mine with fish sauce, which I really enjoyed. I liked the beef one better, as I found the shrimp to be a tad bit bland. I think I was in and out in less than 30mins. A good solo lunch spot!

Ginger and Spice Noodle & Grill pleasantly surprised me! We opted for the Beef Ramen and were not disappointed. The broth was flavorful, noodles cooked just right, and the beef was tender - a satisfying choice indeed. What caught us off guard were the Spring Rolls. It was filled with fresh veggies, and paired with a tasty dipping sauce. They were a nice addition to our meal. Overall, Ginger and Spice offers tasty options for a satisfying meal. Give their Beef Ramen and Spring Rolls a try!

I really was craving for some pho especially when the weather was getting chilly and started searching online for a bowl and Lo and behold I found one that is walking distance from my office. This place is definitely bustling since there was a line around noon and there's lots of takeout orders. I ordered first and paid first and found seating outdoor to get some sun and enjoy the outdoor view. I had the thin slice cut meat for pho and the pork spring rolls. I wanted to get egg rolls but they have shrimp which I am allergic to. Portion was decent size and the spring rolls were amazing! Great find and will most likely come back for takeout.

Ordered takeout from here when we got back from Puerto Vallarta and wanted something quick and easy. I was also craving Asian food badly after eating nonstop tacos and Mexican food. Pickup was a little tricky as it's on a busy street on Colorado so my bf has to stop on the curb on the side street while I ran in to grab the food. We went the family meal deal which is 2 plates with either rice, salad or vermicelli and we got the vermicelli. I got the grilled beef and filet mignon for mine and the bf got grilled beef and pork. It also comes with an option of 2 veggie or meat egg rolls and 2 drinks (milk tea or Thai tea) for about $34 which we thought was a good deal. We also got a side of the breaded chicken wings. The plates also come with a veggie egg roll so it was a good amount of food. The chicken wings were breaded nicely with a good crisp and flavor. The meats were seasoned well and very tender. The Thai teas were good, nothing special but that's ok. We definitely enjoyed this for dinner and liked the family meal deal. Next time I think we'd like to try the pho and some of the other menu items. Otherwise it's a great option for takeout and good prices for good portions.
