I had the BIGGEST Bahn Mi- flush with vegetables and so flavorful. I would've snagged a pic, but I immediately dug in. Employees were super friendly, very laid back atmosphere. Definitely a new spot to hit up.

I had the Bánh Mì, which was a very hearty sandwich on a sub roll. Great delicioys taste with light healthy flavors. Definitely a great spot.

I am by far the pickiest eater. As a chef I told myself I would never ever give a review whether it’s bad or good. I was en route to yummy express. Stumbled on this place thanks to my colleagues. Solid. I want the recipe for the pate and butter. Stats✌️?

Always glad to review a wonderful local biz--I had takeout from District 5 recently, and tried the grilled lemongrass pork banh mi, as well as the Vietnamese iced coffee--both were great! Every aspect of the banh mi in terms of flavor and texture hit the spot, and so did the Vietnamese iced coffee. Friendly service, and a welcomed addition here in town. Looking fwd to coming back and trying out other items!

Had the beef pho and It rocked. I have been spoiled with only having the best homemade pho from a friend. So I am honored and humbled when I find someone or someplace that makes something worthy of a homemade pho. This fit the bill and was worthy. Can't wait to visit again, highly recommend, Great job! The service was awesome too!

I'm always on the hunt for a quick and delicious Vietnamese bite, and this place definitely hits the spot! ? The restaurant is clean and inviting, and the food is simply amazing. I highly recommend the Vietnamese crepe - it's a must-try! #vietnamesefood #

Best, most authentic Vietnamese food in all of Massachusetts! We have tried over 20 Viet restaurants from the South Shore through New Hampshire, consistent, delicious and don't get us started on the service! Must try!

I live around the block and there aren't many tempting food joints within walking distance from me. Here's what I love about District 5 -The food, obviously. I've visited twice and twice I've gotten the tofu banh mi. It's the first banh mi I've ever had so I have no reference for what might be good or otherwise, but the balance between fresh and savory on a crusty, but soft roll is what got me here two times in one week.The tofu itself wasn't terribly flavorful, but that mayo on the sandwich is everything.The service at the counter is friendly. They even dropped my food off at my table when I was waiting.I like that it's casual dining. Nobody waits on you, just grab a spot and eat. The eatery itself is confined, but spacious enough to be comfortable.It's affordable. $9 for a sandwich and then a couple bucks for a tip. The quality matches the price, but it doesn't feel like an expensive outing.Vegetarian options: There's a portion of the menu just for vegetarians.

The best sandwiches and spring rolls around! Everything is nice and packed with fillings. We definitely needed something like this here. Can’t wait to try their pho.

Little local place. So so good! And very affordable. We eat there regularly. Recommend it to anyone in Lowell who likes classic bahn mi and pho.

Okay. Want to make a total delicious mess of crunchy pickled veg, mayo, flavorful chicken and pork, and crispy French bread WHILE getting caffeinated with a delicious coffee or tea in a cute little downtown cafe setting with friendly staff? Of course you do. This is a great place for it. Food was made with love, service was quick, and my sandwich was positively stuffed with fillings. I've had many a banh mi, easily my favorite sandwich of all time, and this one stacks right up. 10/10 sammie and coffee combo, will be back.

Food is delicious and authentic. Mochi waffles! Pho! Spring rolls, banh beo!!!!!!!! Weekend special is banh xeo and banh cuon.

Jeff Bachman

This place is fantastic, the best Viet food in a crowded field in Lowell. Excellent banh mi every day, and specials like banh xeo and banh cuon on Friday and Saturday. I think we can confidently say the city has the best Vietnamese food in the region, thanks to places like District 5 ?
