Came here for a sandwich and while was waiting. Seems like the owners inside knew all the customers coming in.

Although the ginger tofu bahn mi had a nice flavor, the Thai tea was a whopping $6.88 for what was essentially a cup of ice (pictured) with an incredibly small amount of tea. The tea itself was mediocre. It makes me sad to give a lower review because I always appreciate vegetarian banh mi that is well-flavored and isn’t just deep-fried plain tofu, but the tea experience was just too disappointing.

Consensus on the banh mi is 4/5 stars while the Thai tea would be a 1/5 stars. Would recommend the banh mi but not the tea. It’s a grab and go place, so no seating inside or outside, but plenty of parking. Good prices on the sandwiches themselves, as they’re all under $9.

Vegetarian options: Good flavor for vegetarian options.

Parking: Large lot shared between businesses.

This is a great place to get Bánh mì sandwiches. The services is fast and the parking is convenient. They also have smoothies and offer desserts ready to go. I highly recommend the vegetarian option that is one of my favorites

Ordered the vegan BBQ pork banh mi. The "pork" was moist, had a really good texture and flavor. Overall well balanced sandwich. I would like to come back and try the other flavors.

Note that there isn't a place to sit down and eat. Only take out.

Very good Bahn Mi. They have the usual options (i.e. roast pork, lemongrass chicken, headcheese and pate) but also an assortment of vegetarian options as well as a betal leaf-wrapped beef sandwich. Bread is soft with a good crust. Cilantro, jalapenos, and pickled daikon/carrots were fresh. Protein component was tasty. Price is 8-9$/sandwich (gone are the days of <$5 Bahn Mis, unfortunately).

They also have the usual Vietnamese deli prepared refrigerated desserts and also sell roast pork and duck by itself although these are more expensive than equivalent Chinese barbeque joints.

Take-out only (no seats or tables in the store).

Such amazing bahn mi! Immediately my favorite spot for it and a top place for takeout generally. Great flavor and served on really nice bread. And at good price! I felt it was a nice value. The lady working there was nice too.
