Oof. See a lot of great ratings for this place on here. Because of that I figured I would give it a try. By far the worst bahn mi I’ve ever had. And most likely the worse sandwich I’ve ever had. The pork bahn mi came out with a couple slices of deli pork that was gray. The bread was flavorless. Almost no veg on it. Not sure how this place has the rating it does.

I love this restaurant and am always greeted warmly by the owner! He always brightens my day. There are so many vegetarian options. A true Olympia gem!

This place has been around for as long as I’ve been in Olympia. I love them so much. Curry Tofu Bahn Mi is my favorite and their prices have stayed affordable throughout the pandemic. Always friendly and welcoming and they always play the funkiest music.

We tried their lemongrass tofu banh mi, vegetarian ham banh mi, and veggie steamed bun. All of it was disappointing. The bread tasted stale and steamed and had no crunch/crispness left. The tofu seemed to be missing the lemongrass entirely and the vegetarian ham was gross. The pickled vegetables were far too sweet and lacked anything spicy. The steamed bun clearly had been frozen for a long time, had a terrible crumbly texture and a disgusting sweet taste that couldn't be identified

Got a lemongrass tofu sandwich, 2 tofu fresh rolls, and a veggie hum bao for 20 bucks!

Everything about this overlooked little deli is awesome. The food is delicious, the prices are great, and the owners are beyond friendly. It's a must-visit Olympia restaurant. I highly recommend the lemongrass pork and BBQ pork sandwich. They're both so delicious! There are also vegan options. Go and treat yourself asap.Vegetarian options: There are a few!Dietary restrictions: There are options for most diets.Kid-friendliness: It is.Wheelchair accessibility: It is.
Got the tofu lemongrass sandwich, and it was really sad and dry. I'm pretty sure they pulled it out of a fridge and microwaved it because I heard them microwaving something, and it didn't taste fresh at

I'm another person confused about the raving reviews. We got a Banh mi #1... should be classic banh mi.... but there was no mayo or sauce of any kind... no pickled veggies... loaded with onions... very dry sandwich.And Pad see ew.... no broccoli...that's like the main ingredient in pad see ew... and it was pad Thai noodles instead of the wide noodles.I'm just really confused about what I ordered vs what I got.No one was eating in the restaurant... makes sense, it's not clean. I won't be back.

One of my absolute favorite places! My go to soup and lunch spot! The folks who run this place are lovely and kind, and the food is delicious ?

Absolutely one of my favorite places in Oly. I love the owners, amazing and genuinely friendly and caring people. The food is amazing, the pineapple fried rice with chicken is my absolute favorite. They have TV, magazines, fun lighting, it's a nice place to eat and chill out for awhile. Highly recommend!

The bahn mi from Nom Nom is bomb. The buns are a little inconsistent but the prices are so good you can't help but leave with a smile and an extra sando for the road.

I don't understand the high ratings for this place. They don't even cook their food fresh - it's microwaved. The place looks nice but it smells like mold and dirt.
