Stopped by for lunch and really enjoyed it. I’ll be coming back.
I wasn't expecting to find such a good Vietnamese spot in Brentwood. The banh mi was fresh, the bread was warm and perfectly crispy, and the grilled pork was full of flavor. The owners were incredibly friendly and made us feel welcome. I also noticed they serve pho, poke bowls, and boba, so I'll definitely come back to try more next time. If you're ever passing through Brentwood, this place is well worth a stop.
Ordered 2 banh mi Combo and Grilled Pork along with a Vietnamese Iced Coffee. Was delicious! Note: ask to put vegetables separately to eat later. One of the best around.

Banh Mi Express Poke Mi is a casual eatery serving authentic Vietnamese food. It is known for some of the best banh mi ever, with sandwiches that are fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. The perfectly crispy and warm baguette is a highlight, packed with well-seasoned, savory meats like grilled pork, chicken, and BBQ pork, as well as tofu. The balance of textures and flavors comes from crunchy pickled vegetables, fresh cilantro, and spicy chili sauce. The bò né breakfast plate is also highly recommended, arriving sizzling hot with tender beef, runny eggs, fresh veggies, and warm, crispy bread.
Beyond sandwiches, the menu includes poke bowls, noted for generous portions and tasty, fresh toppings. The food is consistently described as super flavorful, well-made, and solid. Portion sizes are good and prices are reasonable for the quality.
The experience can vary. Service is often fast and friendly, with food arriving quickly when the place is not busy. There is a parking lot behind the building with plenty of spots. However, at slower times, service speed has been criticized, contrasting with the "Express" name. The small dining area has only a few tables. While the food quality can make it a must-visit spot and a top choice for Vietnamese cuisine in the area, some operational aspects may affect the overall visit.
