Love the sandwiches and tea!

I would give this place 10 stars if I could!!! Their banh mi sandwiches are DELICIOUS! And their coffee is just to die for, so creamy and unlike anything I've tasted before. You can only find it here, and you have to try if you're a coffee-lover! I've been here 4 times now, tried their #1 (traditional ham) #5 (bbq beef) and their #3 (pork belly). I've also had their coffee and their peach boba. EVERYTHING IS SO FRESH!!! Their veggies and their bread is FRESHLY BAKED! Must try if you've never had a banh-mi sandwich before! (or even if you have )

We just tried this restaurant for the first time today and it was DELICIOUS!! We went through the drive thru and the lady who gave us the food also told us about their food and how they make it, and how to best prep and eat it, which I thought was so amazing. She was very insightful. The food was amazing, I got the BBQ beef and the beef was perfectly flavored and the veggies were fresh and crisp. The bread was warm and flakey. Their prices are also quite reasonable for a sandwich! It’s the perfect size and won’t overfill you, but instead leave you satisfied. Will definitely be coming back!

I ordered the #1 Banh Mi Dac Biet/Special and #19 caramel macchiato coffee at 25% sugar. My banh mi was as wonderful as I had remembered them to be! They serve them with the vegetables separate in a baggie and the sauce on the side. The bread is heavenly….fresh and crusty on the outside, but soft on the inside. ? Love the combination of flavors with the crunch of the vegetables!The atmosphere is plain and simple, but clean. Since the components of the sandwich are presented separately, it would be easy to do take out and still keep the nature of the food in tact.My only regret is the coffee I ordered seemed to be very sweet, even though I requested only 25% sugar level. Also, the drinks are rather pricey. Still, I would try another variety and ask for even less sugar.Looking forward to trying another type of Banh Mi and drink on my next visit!

I first learned of this place from the Gazette in their Thursday Hoopla section. The description alone tempted me into a try; freshly baked bread, savory meat, and fresh, crisp vegetables. Plus, I’ve never had a Banh Mi before. Until today.The restaurant was fairly small but very clean and well lit. A mural describes what their specialty is like. Some soft music played in the background which made the place more appealing.The cashier was very friendly, helping explain some of the various drinks available and the specifications on sugar levels.I ordered the Banh Mi Dac Biet (ham, head cheese, pork roll, and pork belly) - and Hokkaido Milk Tea. I had intended to get the tea at half sugar but it came with the full amount instead.Regardless, the tea was nice and comforting. Very creamy with a hint of coconut (though it was hard to tell).The real star of the lunch was the Banh Mi. They weren’t kidding when they had freshly baked bread. It was just like the mural described; light and crusty on the outside and airy on the inside. The meat was tender and savory and the vegetables looked fresh and had an excellent crunch.The vegetables come mixed in a separate bag (likely to preserve freshness and allow the customers to add what they want). The mix included pickled Daikon (an Asian radish), carrots, jalapeños, cucumbers, and cilantro. I added everything to get the full experience (even though I’m not a fan of cilantro).Since this is a sandwich shop, it’s a good idea to have a few napkins on hand since stuff can drop out when eating.A fair warning, the cheapest drinks are about $6.00 each. And the sandwiches are around $9.00 though they are fairly large.It might be pricey but the quality of the food was excellent. Definitely worth another visit.Vegetarian options: There are two guaranteed vegetarian options. The egg Banh Mi would also count if you get it without the pate (made of liver).Parking: Since this a small restaurant, there aren’t too many spaces. However, there were plenty of spaces to choose from.

This is a Vietnamese sandwich shop. The meats are very different from American sandwich meats. The sandwich was very good. I will be going back to try something different on the menu. The service was excellent. The atmosphere was very nice and comfortable. I like this place.

Foods a bit pricey but pretty good. Only place a round that serves Banh Mi so it was a new experience. Service has been great for the couple of times I’ve been there and atmosphere is very good and inviting. Overall great vibe, spacious interior. Thai tea is great as well

Very lucky to have a Banh Mi shop in CR! All bread is cooked daily and you will not find fresher veggies. Give it a try, you won’t be disappointed. Owner and her mother were very friendly! :)

I found this little shop on a foodie post. I stopped in at lunch time on a Tuesday. The lady was amazing and explained the different food and drinks when I asked. I got the pork belly bahn mi with a peach iced tea with peach boba. It has real pieces of peach in the drink. The sandwich was excellent and I would definitely recommend going here if you like bahn mis as they have a nice selection as well as tons of drinks to choose from.
