Pulled into the shopping center not knowing this place was here, very glad I stopped in. Food and service is excellent. Got great recommendation on what to get that was more unique to their menu. Bread was fresh and perfect. Pickled veggies were delicious. Grilled pork was excellent. I'll be back next time I'm in the area.

I'm so sad I didn't get the man's name but he was the sweetest human! He recommended the grilled pork sandwich and it was so tasty! Also got some coffees to recharge! We just only in the area for a jiu jitsu tournament but so glad we stopped by!

Great bahn mi

I love banh mi so Ive had banh mi in many different places.
To be honest, I usually don’t write reviews but I couldn’t resist for this one
I ordered pork roll and ham sandwich with extra pate, meat, veggies, mayo, cilantro
I didn’t expect much but after one bite I somehow figured out this banh mi might be the best one out of all those banh mi i ate
The baguette was very crispy outside (but not like the thick crisps that tear up the roof of your mouth)and inside was soft and fresh. The other ingredients were fresh as well. Personally I love the pickled carrots and daikon which is why I paid extra for veggies so I wish there were more of them
But overall, this banh mi was amazing

First time here. Great food! Really tasty marinade on the meat, really delicious bread, and yummy veggies. The older man working at the counter was really sweet and kind. 😊 The sandwiches could use a bit more meat in them, as it was a little thin- but other than that, everything was great! Highly recommended. 🙌🏻

This place totally hits the spot! The BBQ pork is amazing and the bread is nicely toasted. Make sure you ask for the sweet chili sauce- it’s amazing! Staff were very friendly and approachable. Came for lunch and wasn’t busy. It was a peaceful atmosphere. Would recommend!
Thank you Johnson ❤️

This is easily my favorite Bahn Mi Spot, been going there since Highschool. Lovely family owned restaurant, couldn’t be nicer people. They’ve always welcomed everyone with open arms, and the owner knows his regulars well. The sandwiches themselves are perfect, and everything else on the menu is great. The spring rolls are super fresh and the sauce is just right. The boba and milk tea selection is extensive, but not extensive enough to feel overwhelmed with options which is nice. I would love to see this spot get more attention, I feel like nobody knows about it.

Drove all the way here only to find it closed :(

I tried an assortment of different food. Some were really good and others were not.

The Special Banh Mi is pretty good. I liked the flavor, the mix of ingredients and the jalapeno was fresh and spicy.

The Shrimp Banh Mi was ok. It could have used a little more shrimp.

The Spring roll was ok too although the presentation was messy, it didn't look neat.

The Matcha tea boba was pretty bad. I didn't even drink the whole thing. My wife tried it and didn't like it either.

But service was great. The guy at the register was friendly and we got our food quickly.

You get more bread than actual ingredients.
The service is good, the guy is nice, very welcoming.
Atmosphere, not so much.
Kids screaming and crying, running around the establishment.
It’s like a daycare center for kids.

I got the beef & pork banh mi

Beef was better.

Although I'm not Vietnamese, I have been living in Vietnam for 6 years and I'd say the Banh mi here is pretty great. Despite only being here for like 2 months I have had the Banh mi for like 4 times. Crispy exterior, soft inside, I think it's pretty authentic for what you can get here in the states. Excellent price point as well, for under 10usd.
