Overall great place. Very simple, no frills, but the food is amazing. The Banh mis are thr best ive had and the pork, rice and salas is great as well.
My only wish is that they had some more vegeterian options since apart from the egg banh mi, there is nothing else. The other thing would be accepting card payments. But overall great food, service and prices.

The kitchen creates memorable meals in a clean space. The flavor profiles here worked for me. The decor enhances your meal. The employees here truly care about your experience. Ba Xuyên willingly goes above and beyond.

I really love their sandwiches , especially the #1, they’re packed with fillings and taste amazing! Their pandan cake used to be one of my favorites too.
But lately, both the food quality and service have become inconsistent.
1️⃣ I once drove 30 minutes just to get the last pandan cake, but it turned out dense, sunken, and hard — clearly a failed batch. 2️⃣ The next visit, every single cake on the shelf had sunk in the middle. I couldn’t understand why they’d still sell those. 3️⃣ Another time, I called around 1 PM to check availability. The owner vaguely said there were two left and could hold them, then mentioned the next batch wouldn’t be ready until 5 PM. When I tried to confirm, she hung up on me.
I really regret not taking photos — they would’ve shown exactly what I mean.

Had the Chicken Fu bahn mi and it was the best mahn mi I've ever had. Super affordable (big sandwhich 8$, they also had rolls for a dollar). The ladies in here are so sweet and they sell lots of other prepared foods as well. I can't wait to go back for a shake another day !

NYCs best banh mi. Definitely ask for their homemade hot sauce.

I ordered the vegetable and egg bánh mì, and it was absolutely delicious. The bread was perfectly crusty, and the vegetables were so good. My only regret was that I didn't have enough cash on me for a shake (they are a cash-only establishment). I'd definitely recommend giving this place a try!

No frills place. You get more than what you pay for.
I bought a chicken leg with rice for lunch at this Vietnamese Food Shop today. It is located on 4222 8th Avenue, Brooklyn, New York. It was unbelievable that they did not change the price, it was still $8. 良心小店 They sell sandwiches, snacks, and sweets too.

The aunties and the food here deserve your tips if you can afford it!
Having lived in the neighborhood for a few years, I've really come to appreciate how, thanks to their commitment to keeping prices low, Ba Xuyen is a cornerstone for so many different parts of the community, from old Southern Chinese aunties and uncles catching up to Hispanic workers and English-only newcomers in the neighborhood. The kindness of the workers, the low prices, and the stellar food welcomes everyone. There's two aunties working there in particular who just radiate warmth.
As food goes, plenty has been said about the Banh Mi. But my favorite item is easily the Chicken Rice lunch box. I can't include a photo because I already finished mine. For $8 you get 2-3 meal portion of juicy chicken and fresh veggies with a lovely chili sauce on the side. The best part is the rice: it's lightly marinated in the oils from the chicken in a way that reminds me of Hainanese chicken rice. Except this is half the usual price of Hainanese chicken rice, and double the usual portion.
Also, delicious, delicious 4$ Vietnamese iced coffee. Add $1 tip, since they make it better than your local barista makes their $8 half-size version.

beware: cash-only. Besides that small caveat, easily one of my favorite spots to hit in Sunset Park, having lived here for a little over a year now. Get an extremely filling bahn mi + a perfectly not-too-sweet thai iced tea for $12 and some change.
Perfect place to grab your meal to-go & walk a couple minutes to enjoy it at Sunset Park, overlooking the Manhattan skyline. One of my few frequented meals in the city, always makes the rent a little more bearable knowing I have options like this nearby 😮💨
