The Banh Mi was ok. Better than in Denmark but not the best I have tried in

Thanh Son has a few locations around the US but not the same quality across the board (referencing the one from OC). Food-wise, this is one of the best places for bánh mì in Seattle. I’ll probably try the soy milk and tofu one of these days, as these are their specialty items. There’s 2 different lines to buy take out items versus bánh mì, by the way.
Because this is a take out spot, some items are sitting around, which affects the taste: * xôi (sweet sticky, glutinous rice): I got the tri-color one, and they all tasted exactly the same, so it must be food coloring. Usually, the taste is different from natural flavors. * bánh giò (banana leaf wrapped pork dumpling): The flavor for this was good, but my stomach didn’t like this one too much. I prefer the one from Nissi Banh. * bánh tiêu (sesame bread): pretty good
Like a lot of Vietnamese delis/take-out spots (or at least the ones that I’m used to), prices aren’t posted for items not on the menu board, so you will have to ask though I agree it would make life easier if they were more transparent.

You're here for the banh mi. They make very good sandwiches and that's all you should order - vegetarian options are also available. The bread could be improved a bit (go early to get fresher loafs) but the fillings are moist and generous. They do offer other smaller options and drinks as well but nothing compares to the sandwiches. There's a small free parking lot on site but otherwise you're parking on the street.

The most amazing fresh tofu in the northwest. An absolute game changer when cooking. So good you can eat it raw. And they’re such friendly wonderful folks running it.

Banh mi fail - big time . I have been going here since they've been opened and have never had a bad sandwich until today. We stopped in at around 3:00 on a Saturday. The sandwich counter looks like they were packing up. We ordered our sandwich. Waited for longer than necessary but that was fine. Then we changed our mind asked for our veggies to be separate and if possible in individual bags. The girl looked at me and said no "all together". Okay. The other girl who was helping her wanted to go get more cilantro because they were out but the girl said no. So we came home and opened up our bag of vegetables and there are no cilantro. Plus, the pickled relish wasn't even pickled. It was just plain shredded carrots and daikon. And then to add insult to injury, the sandwich itself barely had salt and pepper and no soy sauce. And I ordered the fish sandwich but there wasn't even any of the tomato sauce sauce in the sandwich. It's a good thing I have cilantro, properly pickled relish, and soy sauce at home. Over $6 for a DIY sandwich. Sheesh.
Food was good. I recommend their tofu and soymilk. What keeps this business from getting a full 5 stars from me are the general attitude of employees here and not labeling their prices on other products. One of the employees working at the cash register was a guy tried to get into an attitude with other customers before us. Just glad to get it over with and get out of there before a fight starts.
Parking: Be prepared to see cars coming in and out of the parking lot as it can be much of a headache to find an open spot and lookout for bad drivers!

I come here just for the banh mi sandwiches, but they also have other Vietnamese food here like buns, tofu, and desserts. The banh mis are really good and I would say probably one of the best in the CID. They are packed with veggies like cucumber, carrots, cilantro, and jalapenos that you can ask to omit. Also for the price it is not bad. There is parking but it can be tight if it’s busy. There’s also street parking as well.
