I visited today for the first time and picked up a combo banh mi and a taro smoothie with boba. The banh mi was very good - the baguette was fresh and crispy and it had the right mix of vegetables to meat. The smoothie was good as well. I will agree with other reviewers that I'm a little surprised that a banh mi is $10 and is not gigantic. Maybe I'm spoiled or maybe it's just inflation but I was getting a lot more for my money with a banh mi at other places a few years ago.
I might go back but if I'm in the area again, I would probably check out some of the competition.
Parking: A few spots out front and some on the side street.

I grew up eating banh mi’s from this place. They make it just right! I travel and have tried many other versions of banh mi’s and none compare to the Hong Cuc Grand

This used to be my favorite place for combo bahn mi. I always overlooked the fact that they never smile or greet any paying customers walking through their door, no price tag on anything and everything is overpriced. I remembered when their bahn mi used to cost $2 a piece at the old location. Never thought a bahn mi would ever cost $10 nor is it worth it. I feel like they're able to stay open because even if they only get a few customers a day, the amount they charge those customers would pay off at the end of the day. Greed at it's best.

So good, I've had one thing or another from here each time I stop in Lowell and it's delicious each time. Spring rolls, nun pang and everything is very good. Also nice cold drinks!

The prices are way too high in comparison with others in the area. The service is not really desirable. I will not come back and will not recommend this eatery for such high price and low service manner. Besides, there is no price tags on any of the items in the store probably to put customers into a situation of buying to save faces.I can't imagine 2 banh tiu costing $4.00 and a piece of banh tiu costing $4.00. In addition, it seems that the owner deliberately did not put prices on any of the items to put customers in a situation that was already a given.
Best bahn mi in Lowell! Great selection of snacks and drinks. I always try something new every time I come to the shop! I love the pickled carrots and daikon. Good for a crunchy side dish or to use on sandwiches between visits!

Bought banh mi that is definitely overpriced compared to other similar cuisines in the area and items aren’t priced so you would have to ask the counter. It a take- out location so no dine-in either. I bought spring rolls(3 rolls) for $11 and not worth the cost. Skimpy on meat and not fresh tasting.

I won’t lie the food is good and nostalgic, but the attitude not so much. I think they all need a vacation so they can come back happier. Dear hong cuc employees please take care of yourselves so that you may treat us better and get more customers in return.
