We ordered chicken sandwich and vermicelli the chicken tastes like a month old. The chicken tastes nasty and old. I'll never recommend this place to anyone.
I've lived in the area for years but only just found out about this place near the end of COVID. I have enjoyed everything from Banh mi, to pho, to their poke bowls. The service is always polite and eager to please. This last time they forgot my Soy sauce and and they BOLTED out to hand me a packet before I got in my car to leave. It wouldn't have mattered to me at all, but this goes to show how much they care.

Only got the Vietnamese ice coffee. It was decent targeting once vigorously shaken. It was overpriced, over iced and made wing. They put the condensed milk first then the ice then the coffee. The cold makes the condensed milk harder to mix in. Also for $6 each it should’ve been more liquid less ice they also didn’t fill it all the way up.so I only got a few good sips out of it. I wish they had a Lee’s sandwich here

The bread of my banh mi was dry and crumbled in my lap. The flavor of the pork was good.

Had the pork bahn mi. No peppers, no and slaw wasn't pickled. It tasted kind of 'off', only way to describe it. I've eaten bahn mi in numerous restaurants and this didn't taste like bahn mi. Disappointed.

Disappointing Dining Experience with Unfriendly StaffRating: ★☆☆☆☆I recently ordered a large poke bowl from this restaurant, expecting a satisfying meal. Unfortunately, my experience was far from pleasant. Firstly, they required me to fill out a detailed paper specifying my preferences, but failed to mention that the sauce would be tossed in with everything. The lack of clarity in their explanation was frustrating. Moreover, the workers exhibited unfriendly and unhelpful attitudes, solely concerned with taking orders without providing any useful information.To make matters worse, the poke bowl itself was mediocre, and the portion size was notably small for the price of $17. Considering other specialized poke bowl places that offer a much larger bowl with ample veggies and rice at the same price, this was a terrible value. When I inquired about the sauce, the staff informed me that it was already included, and they wanted to charge an extra $2 for additional sauce on the side.In addition to the disappointing poke bowl, I ordered a bahn-mi grilled pork sandwich, which turned out to be equally unsatisfactory. The bread was noticeably stale and hard, as if it had been sitting around for at least four days. Despite the tasty pork filling, the sandwich's small size and the bread's flakiness made it difficult to eat. A dining experience that should have been enjoyable turned into a messy and unpleasant ordeal.Attached are pictures showcasing the quality and size issues of the food. Spending close to $30, I expected better value and a more generous portion, rather than being charged extra for sauce that was never clarified to be included. The staff's response, insisting that a manager would call me back, was unhelpful and just added to the frustration.Based on this disappointing encounter with both the food quality and service, I have no intention of returning to this restaurant. I urge potential customers to take their business elsewhere as there are numerous establishments that offer better value, superior food quality, and friendlier service.[Attached pictures]

Very nice people work here, very friendly. We ordered two different poke. Mine was with salmon and the pieces were too big that it was hard to eat them with any other fittings, please cut themsmaller. My husband’s was different one and he was satisfied but when we came home he was running to the restroom all the evening. His was with octopus and tuna.

I love getting their tofu banh mi after a long day of work/classes. Banh mi is packed with veggies and flavorful tofu, and all for around 10 dollars! Definitely recommend giving this place a

Had a ribeye pho. Was ok. Hot soup is good on a cold day. Not really a pho place.

We ate at Banh-mi for the first time today, after shopping at Trader Joe’s. We had planned on going to have a pizza. I am so happy that we decided to stop in. Thomas Tran, the owner, suggested that we give his food a try and he would have it ready after our grocery trip. We ordered the pork sandwich and a large bowl of Bun Bo Hue (a spicy, not hot, beef soup w vegetables). My wife and I shared this lunch and Thomas gave us an extra bowl for the soup dish. WOW! That was good!!! I can’t wait to return again. They even make their own bread for the sandwiches. The vegetables ❤️❤️❤️❤️It is such a low key location. Even the interior doesn’t really give away the food experience about to happen in your mouth.If you like things spice, ask for their home made pepper sauce and put a little in the soup and sandwich. Your brain will go to heaven. I’m from an island off Asia, and this is the real deal here. Never settle for a burger and fries - ever!!! This is right here in our town.Thank you Thomas -I can’t believe your restaurant has been here so long and it took me this long to discover your foodBob and Genie WhitfieldBrentwood
