The food was great, but beyond than just that I was surprised with their frappuccino! It isn't your run-of-the-mill frappe you would expect from a big coffee chain. The flavor of the coffee was more pronounced than the actualy flavor I ordered, which was caramel. Which was a good thing considering their coffee is great.

Food shouldn't be this good. But, by heavens, it is.
the taste of Saigon with clean crisp flavors of Indochina.... Particularly like the Cafe Sua Da and the delectable Banh Xheo, and they probably have the best Banh Mis in the city and they make their own baguettes :) highly recommended and will even bring friends over to savor the food.
Loved their beef sandwich, I forgot what it was called but it had “French Dip” in it’s name. Their sugarcane juice is also really good! I also tried their Condensed baguette and savory crepe which were good too!
Ordered the Goi Cuon (spring rolls with pork, shrimp, noodles, cucumber) for lunch! It was close to the authentic ones I had in Vietnam!! Although it was a lot to ask, I was quite disappointed when the waiter forgot to remove the shrimp in my order but nonetheless it was still good!
Close to authentic Vietnamese taste... tho not too sure about the spring rolls. Never had meaty spring rolls in Vietnam.
The Beef Baguette is good. Lightly seasoned beef. The crispy crust of the baguette was what we liked most. We will come back for the baguette!
Total bill was close to Php800 (approx 400/hd).
There are plenty of nice things to eat at Ba Noi, from their classic Goi Cuon (rice paper rolls, to their salads, and noodles, which come with a little, or a lot of, sauce. The Pho Bo beef noodle bowl is especially nice, whether the weather is hot or cold. Not in the photos is the Bo Luc Lac, their lacquered beef with fried basil. Easily overlooked is their pourover Vietnamese coffee.
Very satisfied. We’ve just been to another Vietnamese resto in BGC a day prior and it did not quite bring us to Vietnam, so to speak, as much as Ba Noi’s did. We ordered both spring rolls: fried pork and the shrimp with vermicelli and we liked the latter better more especially for its peanut sauce. We also ordered their beef pho. It was a big bowl and the broth was delicious! We also ordered their pork bbq which paired perfectly with the pho except that the meat was slightly tough to chew, but still tasty and it had seasoned basil leaves that really tastes so good. Wish they put more of it though. But Im most pleased that they served lots of bean sprouts, lettuce and other veggies on the side, which is usually the case in Vietnam but not so in the other restos we’ve tried here. We will come back here again.
Ordered their large bowl of pho bo which is beef noodle soup and it was large enough for two people. Soup is refillable and the noodles were a lot already. This alone can fill the empty stomach of two people. Taste wise broth was flavorful and noodles were of right firmness.
We also ordered their spring rolls dry noodles for 260 php. It was a nice discovery. We were very satisfied with this as it was refreshingly new to out tastebuds. I recommend you to try this. Overall satisfied with our order.
Everyone loves ramen but no one ever really talks about pho with the same gusto. I particularly love Ba Noi’s. Great pho, really good service, consistent quality, and great ambience. Really, I could eat there everyday! The other food on the menu is really good too!
Tried this place with my officemates the time I was craving pho. We had beef and chicken pho - both goooood. I like also the fact that it’s not packed.
I love the vietnamese coffee .. please try this !! 😊😊😊 . The staff was very accomodating and very attentive . Promise i will be back here .
Pho Bo, not so much to look forward to. But haven't tried the other noodle soup. Ambiance is good. Service is good. We ordered the ff:
Dau Hu Sot Xi Muoi rating is 3.5. Maybe I like it best for silky tofu.
Ga Nuong rating is 4.
Cha Gio is 4.
Pho Bo is 3. Try Pho H. to see the difference.
server was courteous and polite.
our food is very fast.did not let our hungry tummy wait for long time😊👍.
great authentic vietnamese food.(branch:estancia mall)
will definitely come back.
Ba Noi's is ever reliable for quality food.
Stopped by at their Estancia branch for coffee and light meal before shopping.
Hot coffee and Iced Vietnamese coffee were both good and strong. Pomelo & Shrimp Salad was refreshing with its calamansi sesame dressing. Pomelo, though, was not sweet this time around. Bo Luc Lac (stir fried beef) is my must have dish here. Succulent beef chunks.
Been a fan of this restaurant for quite a while now (have visited UPTC, the old Kapitolyo branch, and the one in Estancia). I always order Pho Ga (my favorite), Cha Gio (fried spring rolls), and recently tried their fresh baguette - it was soooo good it will now be part of my staple order. Their iced coffee is really good too!
Ba Noi's is one of my favorite Vietnamese restaurants. There spring rolls, sugar cane juice and beef stew noodles are my just the three of my favorites! You can assure be of it as serve to you fresh. Service is poor for me though. It took me a number of times to call them out just to attend on my concern. Hope this will improve. Suggest to have more choices in their menu next time.
I love their noodles! It's very unique and tasty. Their peanut sauce is also good too! If you are looking for a healthy meal for a change, you can try and visit their place. I have tried their Estancia Branch.
Ba Noi's - Estancia Branch:
Pho Bo - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4/5
Goi Coun - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4/5

Originally situated in Kapitolyo, Ba Noi moved to posh Estancia mall, and still serves authentic Vietnamese dishes for those pho - craving nights.
Try out their spring rolls, watermelon shake, or sugar cane drink

So glad to discover Ba Noi's in Estancia Mall. We super duper loved their Cha Gio, their version of fried spring rolls that was made of ground pork, shrimp, black fungus, and taro. Super sarap! Their large order of Pho Bo (home-made beef noodles) was also good. I think it's big enough for 3-4 girls on a diet. Hahaha! We matched it with their garlic butter baguette, which was also tasty. Haaay! Will try one of their dry noodle toppings next time. Promise. 😊💜💜💜💜 #musttryph #vietnamesefood #friedspringrolls #noodles #chagio #lumpia #delicious #sarap #yummy #spotmyfood #dimsum #zomato #foodgram #estanciamall @banoiskitchen
I love Vietnamese food so from time to time I crave for pho and this is one of my choices to get my Pho fix. I normally order the Pho Bo (beef noodle soup). I squeeze in lemon, put in a touch of Sriracha to give it some sour and spiciness. The beef is very tender. During my last visit though, the beef had some fat. Together with this, I also usually order their fried spring roll. When you dip it in the fish-like sauce, it gives the spring roll a new dimension of taste.
Overall, I like the food. Nothing exceptional but enough to satisfy my Vietnamese craving. I like their ambience and their service as well. They can maybe expand their menu further to have more choices and variety.

Vietnamese kind of night. 😘 We ordered pho bo (really good), pomelo salad (good for one only), grilled chicken, vietnamese fried rice, sizzling crepe (not good), and watercrest. Im not that satisfied with the taste although ingredients were fresh and healthy. Serving size is small and not enough for the price. Great ambience but their outside seating was not clean. Must try is their sugarcane juice with lime zest. 😍
Not bad. Decent. Spring rolls were a little on the burnt side. Pho broth was not very hot. It's should be almost boiling in temperature. Vermicelli was a little wet. I was expecting excellence, given the price. But the flavors are ok.
My family and I really like eating in Ba Noi's. I don't think we've tried a dish we didn't like.
I like their Goi Cuon and think it's one of the best fresh Vietnamese spring rolls out there. The wrapper is light and you get shrimp in every bite. Ask for more peanut sauce! I tend to put a lot of sauce on my spring rolls.
For those who want something more sinful, their Cha Gio, fried spring rolls, is also pretty good. It's tasty on its own but so much better with the dipping sauce it comes with. Try wrapping the spring roll in a piece of lettuce and dip it in the sauce. Fried goodness but refreshing at the same time.
I've tried a few of their bowls with toppings over dry noodles. I like the Bun Bo Kho the most. The beef stew is soft and the sauce of the beef stew is rich and tasty. No need to add their nuoc mam sauce.
My absolute favorite here is their Bo Luc Lac! The carnivore in me is extremely happy with this dish. The beef is always tender and the sauce it comes with is really good. It's even better when you dip it in the lime and pepper sauce. When Ba Noi's first opened, the Bo Luc Lac wasn't spicy. Recently, it seems they made it spicy already. My sister used to love this too. I hope they can offer it not spicy as she really misses eating this. Hehehe!
Service is good in this branch, even when they're full. If you sit outside, it can be a bit challenging to call their attention.
I love the ambiance, its quiet and peaceful. i love the vietnamese lumpia, the noodles especially the SHRIMP!!! I honestly love the taste of it and the presentation.
I wasn't expecting much honestly. I thought it would be just another restaurant. But wow I was pleasantly surprised. My family and I really enjoyed our meal here. The service was super fast and friendly. The food was flavorful, fresh and tasty.
MUST ORDER: Bo Luc Lac - melt in your mouth cubes paired with fried basil leaves. Match made in heaven, texture and taste at its finest.
Honorable Mentions - Pomelo & Shrimp Salad - we ate all the lobster crackers until we realized you're supposed to use them as a base for the salad. Woops. But this is a fun and creative take on the typical pomelo salad. Boy it was so good.
Grilled LemonGrass Chicken Rice Noodle Bowl (forgot exact name)- large bowl is good for two hungry people and three not so hungry people. The grilled chicken is tender and not at all dry!
-.5 for: the goi cuon wrapping which was sticky. Reminded me of mochi. The rice noodles they use are also too thick for my taste. But i will live with it.
Food: 4
Service: 4
Ambience: 3
Vietnamese Iced Coffee: One of the better Vietnamese iced coffee out there. If you like rich black espresso and also a fan of condensed milk, you will definitely enjoy this beverage. The caffeine plus the sugar perks you up.
Pho Ga: Starting off with serving size, they are more than generous with the regular bowls. Personally, this is the best chicken pho that we've tried so far. More than satisfied with the flavors and fresh ingredients used. If there was one thing we could add to improve the dish, it would be to add quail eggs.
Pho Bo Kho: Flavors are also good. A bit richer than usual Vietnamese pho. The beef is tender but may need some improvement with regards to consistency. However, still would recommend for meat-lovers. The mixture of tender beef with its fat and the pho is quite delightful.
Mi Xiao Don: A great dish for sharing! If you are looking for a flavorful yet healthy dish, we would recommend ordering the Mi Xiao Don. Area of improvement for the dish would be adding a tad more noddles to it.
Service is quick and the waiters and waitresses are very accommodating. The also are very knowledgable with regards to the menu and can very much recommend based on your cravings. The ambience is just like any ordinary restaurant. Found nothing special about it thought cleanliness is observed.
Would recommend this restaurant for people craving Vietnamese food. Home style cooking that hits the spot.
Pho Hoa has met his match in my honest opinion. Their menu is so much similar in variety but not focusing not so much on noodles.
For lunch I had the Lemongrass Chicken and Sautéed Fresh Spring Vegetables. For Php 450 it was quite overpriced as the portions weren't generous. Good thing both were delicious and worth coming back to. Chicken was juicy and barbecued well. Vegetables on the other hand were really fresh and pleasant.
I've been wondering how authentic their Vietnamese is so I requested that we eat there. A few years ago I had the opportunity to travel to Vietnam and my first dish there was a pho dish in some hole in the wall motorist food stop. (can't get any more local than that) Curious how this restaurant would fair compared to my vacation meal experience.
The place was small and the staff tried their best to accommodate us during dinner rush. Something that did bother me about the place was the choice of the background music. It stuck out as too stereotypical maybe it was just me.
Anyway, from the menu i quickly picked the Pho Ga(Pho with chicken) and Goi Cuon (paper wraps with shrimp, noodles, pork ) Coming from another meal we picked the latter, I guess we got hooked on how it looked appetizing in the picture.
The Gui Cuon was already considered a light meal for two. I liked the peanut sauce with chili to make have more flavor and zing. A tip to eating this is not to get too excited and take a big bite. The wrap can get sticky making it harder to chew. Th pho was a delight for me since it took me back to my Ho Chi Min experience . The ingredients provided let's me have my own personal pho flavor. I appreciated that there was meat toppings to make it a complete meal. One thing I had to comment about the pho was it lacks that spicy refreshing taste that I was looking for although the herbs tried to replicate this but was not spot on.
Ba Noi's for me did have that authentic flavor so don't pass up the chance to try it here. It has a lot of choices for that Vietnamese food experience.
If you can't get to Bawai's in Tagaytay, this is the next best thing. Everything they serve here is tasty and is a bang for the buck. There isn't anything I wouldn't eat in their menu.
I had spicy beef pho at their estancia branch. It is very similar to the one i always order in Pho Hoa but i am guessing it's because of the vietnamese herbs and spices that go along with it. The serving is big and the price is ok. I could not say if it is authentic but it is so yummy!! 👍😊
The interior is quite nice. The only thing i didn't like is that the tables are too close together and there's a big family dining right beside me and i just wanted to enjoy my soup in quiet but i can hear their conversation and it was not enjoyable for me.
Overall i would come back for the good food and hopefully find a quiet corner. 😉
C5 traffic. Lunch at 3pm. Super hungry. After parking, we just wanted to eat. The first we saw was this resto. Hmmm... #Vietnamese food..ok. And we chose right.. So right that we had two orders of each dish! Hahaha! A well spent #diet cheat day ! (Not in the photo are the fried spring rolls and the garlic breads)
Actually we tried this place in Kapitolyo before they moved to Estancia.
We ordered for lunch!
Vietnamese Flavors!
We ordered Grilled Chicken and Vietnamese Spring Rolls!
Serving size could have been bigger. Flavorful but didnt get full.
overall i would try their other food items

My appointment with a client was cancelled, and so I took the opportunity to have a date with my wife instead. We picked a restaurant wherein there is a high chance that both our families will not eat...and that's Vietnamese food.
Ba Nois is a casual dining restaurant with black and white tables and chairs. Its walls hang pictures of Vietnamese lifestyle and culture.
To try as much as we can, we ordered the spring roll and pork strips on dry noodles, large size (Php320) and the crepe with bean sprouts and side salad (Php250). Just for the sake of reminiscing our honeymoon in Vietnam, she ordered an iced truong coffee (Php110) while I tried the blended ice mocha (Php150).
The crepe came out first and we were happy to see that it looked like the one we had in Vietnam. The crispy crust, eaten together with the bean sprouts, basil leaves, lettuce, and the special sauce has a nice, clean, and balanced taste. It is crunchy, sweet, and healthy, too. The noodles came out next. The combination of each ingredient makes it a wonderful dish: the bland rice noodles is complemented by the salty spring roll, sweet tocino-like pork strips, sourness of the vinegar-chili sauce, and the freshness of the vegetables.
My disappointment would fall into the drinks. My wife's coffee was too light for a Vietnamese coffee, but we were glad that it was served authentically into a Vietnamese brewer. My mocha, on the other hand, was too sweet and too creamy. It was like a milkshake, and destroyed the otherwise good taste of the food. I was also disappointed to find that they do not serve banh mi.
Service is ok. Ambiance is also warm, except for a certain fly that won't get off our table.
we passed by the newly opened estancia mall and decided to try this vietnames restaurant. the food is similar to pho hoa of course as they are both vietnamese restaurants. the food here was good. we got spring roll, fresh lumpia with shrimp, stir fried beef and beef soup.
