TL;DR: We have another decent Vietnamese place that offers all that you would want. As far as a bahn mi goes, few that I have seen have been as big and rich as this one so that is more power to them.
Much like a lot of the outlets in Brisbane's Chinatown, District 1 does not look like that much from the outside but then it does have an allure only to not have it - kind of a thing with downtown areas there. When it comes to that aspect, it is about the appearance where the worst ones end up possessing the best and most authentic foods, particularly regarding the value to portion size. From the try-out I had here, it might not completely meet that description but it was not without a fair amo...

The owner is very friendly and we love the Vietnamese themed decor at this clean, fresh cafe on the edge of Fortitude Valley. At $10, this is the most we've ever paid for a bahn mi - but the District 1 version with roasted crispy skin pork belly is delicious. The pho ga - classic Vietnamese chicken noodle soup was very nice and full of great quality ingredients but not remarkable. It's a little bit more expensive than Inala, Darra or Sunnybank but this is reflected in the quality of the ingredients and the more central Brisbane location.
Tasty food, but they don't handle much of a crowd. We arrived as a group of 10, there was a good half hour from when food started coming out and when everyone had their meal. Was probably 20 mins before the first dish came out so some people were waiting 50 mins for lunch in total.
When it came out, it was very good. Approval all round.

Ordered the chicken pho at the eat street markets and usually I'm a bit of a fussy puss when it comes to soups. It's either I like it or I hate it on the first impression and this soup base was actually pretty tasty. It carried all the flavours and wasn't a split bland. Happy with that.
I had an amazing meal at this restaurant. I ordered the spicy beef pho and it was delicious. The soup was flavorful and the beef tasted like high-quality brisket. It was clear that a lot of care was put into preparing the dish. Overall, it was a fantastic experience.
It doesn't look like much but this little restaurant serves great Vietnamese food. The slushy style coconut mint drink is really tasty and refreshing. I had one of the vermicelli noodle dishes which came in a large serving and was very satisfying.
I have been struggling to find good pho options in the valley lately, so I was relieved to discover this restaurant after my longtime favorite spot closed down.
