Rush Hour Station is AWESOME. I enjoyed the drunken noodles with tofu, and some ”Anger Management" Pho with beef and meatballs. Loved the Vietnamese coffee slowly brewing in the cup at my table. Staff was friendly and fast. Prices and portions are very good. The dining room is small and simple but inviting and very functional. I will be back.

WOW. Huge variety of bahn mi styles. Tried the lemongrass chicken and it was phenomenal. Bread had great crust and texture, meat was marinated beautifully, rich flavorful paté, and crunchy fresh veggies. Tried the Cajun fried other reviews raved about...eh. Service and ambiance are casual but for the food quality they'd have to be downright threatening to keep me away. Can't wait to try other variety my next visit to town

I always make it a point to go to Rush Hour when I'm in town. Their lemongrass Banh Mi is my favorite food ever.

Not what you expect from the name. Good and inexpensive Asian food, including Pho with Vegan options available. Located just a few blocks from the main Indiana University Campus. A student favorite with a cash discount on purchases.

One of Bloomington's best local spots for lunch and dinner. Friendly folks, delicious food, very quick service, and my favorite rice dish in town. And nearly the whole menu can be made vegetarian and vegan! Rush Hour is the first spot I recommend to out-of-town visitors.

The world tells you, subtly or not, that if you are a Pho-lover and vegetarian, you are kinda outta luck... Boy are they wrong about this place! At Rush Hour Station, you will meet no half-hearted vegetarian 'options.' Instead, you will get a hug in a bowl as you slurp up 'Smile from your Soul' - a dish that astonishingly lives up to the name. You will have a spicy awakening with Anger Management, and keep going back for more. It doesn't stop there - their Banh Mi is well-crafted and generous, both with flavour and fillings. When I think about what I miss most about Bloomington, Rush Hour Station is right up there with the best of it.

This is without a doubt the most underrated hidden gem in Bloomington. The pho is so so flavorful with the freshest ingredients. Service is fantastic. Don't sleep on the banh mi or crab rangoons. Love love love this place sm. Never had a bad meal

One of Bloomington’s very best restaurants. I love the Drunken Noodles, Anger Management soup, and vermicelli salad. Excellent customer service and delicious food.

Came in a bit before closing for carry out and they were extremely nice and accommodating even though my order placed them a tad behind on closing duties. The spot is real chill and the food is fresh, phenomenal, stove top cooked and plenty of healthy options. Give em a try or get back in, they’re a super bright spot in the relatively poor food service professionalism desert of Bloomington.

This place slaps. We had a variety of dishes. Must have been Jeremy working because the Jeremy's special was amazing. Probably the best gluten free and vegan dish in town. Also enjoyed the drunken noodles. Very fragrant and flavorful dishes. I think the chicken pho has healing properties. Fresh and delicious, really nice guy was running the front and helped us decide what to order. Thanks a lot!

I had a fantastic experience here. First time and I didn’t know what to order, the man at the register was extremely helpful and friendly. I could feel that he cares about good service and my sandwich was extremely good and fresh. 10/10.

Fast food style Vietnamese restaurant. The soup dishes are good but the noodles are a little too overcooked. The seatings are not quite comfortable since the tables are short while chairs are tall.

Great place for to go soup! I placed an order online and it was ready within 10 minutes during the lunch hour! The soup was tasty, I got the peace love coconut. It was a bit spicier than I had anticipated but I enjoyed it. The prices are also quite good for a full meal. I had it to go so the photo is from my own bowl.

The Bánh Mi (Asian BBQ Beef) was okay. Nothing memorable. Seasoned okay. But you won't go back for it. Kajun fries are good. Thai Tea (w/ Oat Milk) is not good. It's mostly coloring. Three of this take-out cost just below $18. Not worth it. The service is top knotch though. The host is very attentive.

I wanted to like this place way more than I did. The service was amazing and the atmosphere was great. The food was just okay. I had a vermicelli salad bowl with beef and it had little to know flavors. The salad used was too big and the entire dish was mediocre. Perhaps I didn’t get the best dish on their menu.

Horrendous quality in 2024. Ordered the Pho and the soup was very obviously just watered down. The meatballs were actually frozen Italian meatballs from the store instead of the Vietnamese style ones you'd expected. Not even an exaggeration. They actually are. Beef was overcooked and were clumped in balls. The restaurant used to be alright before, but this is just sad now. I ordered doordash, but while I might expect less food or it being cold, the quality should at least be the same. Never ordering from this place again. Also they have severely reduced the amount of food you get.

I ordered out through door dash. I paid 11.94 for the be kind 2 each other and have never been more disappointed in my life. I had ordered from here before and you used to get a decent ammount of soup for that price. I got one small container with barely enough broth to fill a mug with maybe a cup of pho if you took out the chicken that was included. I expected way more for 12 dollars. I tried to dispute it with door dash because I thought that they just forgot a container with the soup in it. but no apparently that was my whole order.
