Best banh mi i’ve tried in PHL and better than the place that won best banh mi in san francisco. Ordered the deluxe which is usually the combo at most places, good pate and meats and a good roll,”

I was craving banh mi in the morning after a long overnight flight back to Philly. Excellent banh mi and coffee and they make it quick. Thank you for being in the neighborhood :)

That was excellent head cheese. We enjoyed our sandwiches. A little dry but needs more mayo and Pate. Hidden gem for sure. Cash only tho!

Long overdue review for Cafe Cuong. My family has been going to this place for decades. My mom used to take us here as kids and I remember the anxiousness to find parking to get these hoagies. Now as a host of many family gatherings, one of my most requested platters is a Banh Mi Charcuterie Board to which I could never execute without the help of the guys here. They always hook it up and it is much appreciated! Don't forget to get a Cafe Sua Da while you wait!

Best bahn mi in town. Staff are always very kind, sometimes we make it to the store a few minutes past 4pm to pick up our order, but they never seem to mind. They have one table where you can dine in at, most people including myself tend to take the bahn mi to go.
The regular and deluxe bahn mi are both spectacular! Prices for the bahn mi are $9 or $10 depending on which one you get. They take cash or venmo for payment. Bread is always very crisp and fresh. I am never disappointed when I come here!

We came here for the head cheese Bahn Mi and it was very delicious. You can eat it there: they have chairs at a big table with napkins & condiments, but the sandwich didn’t need anything added as it was already so good. You can’t beat the price and they also take Venmo. They have a tv showcasing beautiful sites of Vietnam. It was an enjoyable experience and we would come here again to try more!

It's cash only, or Venmo (please put a sign on the door and counter for this). Small selection. I had the pork rolls banh mi and a coffee, and it was good. Fair prices.

There’s only 1 best bahn mi place in Philadelphia and it’s this place. Bread is amazing, ingredients are fresh and the staff is always super welcoming. This place is a must if you come to south Philly!

Some of the best Bahn Mi in Philly. Small, local spot with a homey kinda vibe, definitely worth the trip if you're looking for a quality experience.

Was about to go to ba Le bakery since they’re closer but had to try this since some reviews seemed to have this as better spot. I got the $10 lemongrass grilled pork and hot coffee with condensed milk. Nice staff and freshly made this was good and better than the #13 chicken lemongrass from ba Le. I’ll have to comeback for the other versions and will go back to ba Le also. Both are good!
