Really liked the banh mi, will come back for some Pho!

I came to this cozy Vietnamese restaurant primarily to enjoy a warm, flavorful bowl of pho, but I ended up leaving with a sense of belonging and being part of a welcoming family. Omg, this place was unlike any other I've experienced. Its strong sense of community, along with the caring and a strong Mom made the pho here special and memorable.

We absolutely love this cozy, casual Vietnamese restaurant. The food is fresh and delicious - and the service is sooo friendly! It makes my day every time we go here. If you're ready for fresh, delicious food and a smile - check out Simply Banh Mi!

THE BEST banh mi around! I’ve been a fan since their Georgetown location days. What really makes it is the baguette—it’s flaky, crispy, and fresh.

I have no idea where these good reviews come from. Let me start by saying, please drive a bit and get authentic Vietnamese bahn mi and food, this place is NOT authentic and heavily overpriced. Stay away.
Pick up order for a beef bahn mi and chicken vermicelli: $32.
As the other bahn mi reviews have stated, you get a carrot bahn mi regardless of what you choose. Mine was extra special since and came with a stale bread that cut up my mouth with every bite. I honestly have no idea how they charge $15 pickup for this, I actually do feel like its a scam but this pales in comparison to the vermicelli.
The lemongrass chicken vermicelli, please just look at the picture. You'd almost mistake it for a order of sauce with a side of vermicelli. What is this? The whole container is the size of what youd normally get for the rice noodle itself at most Vietnamese places. But to fill it up with CONTAINERS of sauce and a side and charge $15 pickup for it, thats just low, very low.
I definitely do feel scammed out of $32, it wouldve gone a long way at other restaurants. Luckily, I was able to get a full refund for the pick up order on Wonder, otherwise I would've disputed this charge for quality and inaccurate depictions.

I was really excited to try the food! The banh mi sandwich had a tiny amount of meat. I asked and for $3.00 I could get extra protein. Why don’t you just charge the price you need to charge to serve a sandwich with an appreciate serving of protein? I just read the reviews and there is another review complaining about the small serving of protein. I would agree with her description that is is basically a carrot banh mi sandwich. Very disappointed since I live very close. I won’t be going back.

I really wanted to like this place since it’s in Ballston, but ended up disappointed in my Banh Mi. I ordered the Pate & Vietnamese cold cuts Banh Mi and basically got a banh mi filled with a lot of carrots, a cucumber, small pieces of cilantro, 1-2 small pieces of Viet pork sausage (Cha Lua), a sprinkle of pork floss, and 1 thin piece of boiled pork. You could barely taste any pate or mayo, it was basically a Carrot Banh Mi. I was really disappointed to find literally no cold cuts/meat in the sandwich, which was $10.73 in total + tax, no additional items. In the picture attached you could barely see any meats in the cross section cut. For the price of this - you are better off getting any Banh Mis from Eden Center or going to Banh Mi DC for a bigger portion, worth the price, and taste better.
Really just disappointed in the quantity of meat/cold cuts and the quality of this and genuinely just shocked when I opened my sandwich…
Service - the guy was nice, customer service was fine. Atmosphere - it’s just dark there and not spacious where they have some items on shelves they want to sell. Randomly sells ice cream and other pastries which didn’t look very fresh.
