Pho Banh Mi, a new Vietnamese restaurant, is now open in downtown Palo Alto — the only dedicated place to get pho and banh mi on University Avenue.
The 405 University Ave. restaurant is from the owners of Green Bakery & Cafe in Los Altos. They took over the space after Cafe Epi closed.

Pho Banh Mi serves several kinds of pho, including with filet mignon, brisket, beef, seafood, chicken and a vegan version. Diners can customize their pho with additional proteins, vegetables and spice. There’s also five kinds of banh mi — chicken, pork, lemongrass beef, vegetarian and pate and shredded pork — all served traditionally with pickled carrots, daikon, jalapeño, cucumber, cilantro and mayonnaise on a French baguette.
Other dishes include egg rolls, chicken wings, salads, vermicelli bowls and spring rolls.
Pho Banh Mi also serves fresh tea, boba, smoothies, Vietnamese coffee, beer and wine.
