The banh mi's were delicious. We ordered four types and asked for them to be cut into fourths so we can all share. Everything was delicious. Service was good. The place as clean.

I liked the pho chicken wings! Crispy and juicy! The inside decor is super cool, there's a restroom here, you can order online in advance as well. Friendly service.

Great location! Candace service is amazing! The food is sooooo good. We had beef spring rolls, Honey Sriracha shrimp Banh Mi and baby....... It is sooooooo good. My hubby had the crack Cajun fried (meh) they were just fries, (nothing to write home about) and Chicken Katsu Dear Heaven.... Sooooo soooo sooo flavorful. This place is full of flavors. Come see for yourself.

I had been to the original Banh Mi boys a few years ago which is a bit of a drive out of central New Orleans, but I was really excited to finally try the new location on Magazine street. The Banh Mi's here are truly special and there is a huge variety that you can order from. Recently, I had the Sriracha Honey Shrimp Banh Mi and it was fully flavor and filling. Great place to stop by for a quick meal!

Savory and delicious eats in a cozy setting on Magazine Street--Banh Mi Boys always provides us with quality foods and quick service. We ordered the loaded fries, chicken katsu banh mi, lemongrass tofu bowl, and chicken katsu plate (off the menu but the waitress had no problem putting in a special request!). The rice was a little undercooked but everything else we ordered was delicious and tasty! 9/10 recommend!

Small sandwich shop next to a gas station. There's a seating area outside and a standing counter top inside. Service was great 5/5- nice, pleasant and brings you your sandwich. Overall the food: 3/5 BM Combo was loaded with a lot of meat & I ordered extra pate. It was lacking a little bit of flavor- the bbq pork meat was thick cut but bland as well as the pate- although I loved that it was slathered on... it lacked a little bit of flavor (maybe a little more fish sauce or msg/salt) or maybe if they did a "mayo/butter" spread it would be on point. Pork belly - nice thick cut but also needed some flavor. Loco Moco- gravy was good and the sunny side egg gave it a nice creamy taste. Steak & Egg - this was probably the best one out of the other sandwiches since the steak meat was full of flavor. Overall, not bad to try while in the area as they do have a variety of selection for sandwiches & vermicelli bowls.

This was a weird experience. I wanted to like it a lot more than I did, but maybe it was an off day? I went in on a hot summer day, and it was pretty gross in this restaurant. It felt like the air conditioning was barely on, if at all. And the place was noticeably filthy. One table had cleaning products and rags on it, but no evidence they had been used. The floor was pretty gross. There was liquid and food all over. But, living in New Orleans, you get used to less than perfect conditions. I still really wanted to try the food, as I love Vietnamese food. I ordered a portobello bahn mi, and an order of tofu spring rolls. On the plus side, The prices were reasonable, and the food came out very fast. The not so good: This was probably the most Americanized Vietnamese food I've ever had. It didn't have the bouquet of herbal and spicy flavors that I'm used to. Also, there was a real problem with temperature. The spring rolls were extremely hot, which they're not supposed to be. The tofu was steaming and I couldn't eat it for quite a while. The tofu is supposed to be cold or room temperature. My suspicion is that they microwaved it. The microwave suspicion grew when it came to the sandwich. The portabellas were smothered in a type of barbecue sauce. The sandwich would not cool down for over 10 minutes. The mushrooms had steam coming off of them. Everything was overheated. The flavors weren't bad, but they didn't remind me of any of the authentic Vietnamese food I've tried. The sandwich was kind of soggy, and bahn mi are supposed to have a crunchy element. The spring rolls should be refreshing, not piping hot. I needed to go to the bathroom and especially wash my hands after eating the barbecue mushrooms. But alas, their bathroom was out of order. That really was the icing on the cake that brought this down to two stars. I had to go to another store and buy something in order to use the bathroom. Like I said, maybe it was just a tough day. It happens. But I probably would not go back.

Literally the best place for banh mi Poboys ever! This place makes dream food. Like Your dying wish food has to all come from here. It's literally heaven. And everyone is so nice! I wish the metairie location had a real sit down area but maybe one day! It doesn't stop me now though. Just get it to go or sit outside on the bench.

We were looking for someplace to grab something quick for dinner when we got into town and saw Banh Mi Boys pop up. I will tell you that we have had some good Bahn Mi's in our travels, and this place was probably the best. Honestly, this is probably one of the best sandwiches I have had period. Service was top notch and friendly with a great atmosphere. I had the brisket and was thoroughly impressed by not only the freshness of everything, but also what you get for your money. I would highly recommend and will probably need to go again before we leave town. If you haven't been here yet, you are truly missing out.

Solid fast casual option if you're in the area. Soda fountain and canned beer and sake drink options. They have many non-traditional banh mi options we were excited to try. Korean fried chicken had a franks red hot type sauce which we weren't expecting. The Char Siu rib had great flavor and matched well with the traditional pickled veggies on the sandwich. Lots of meat on the sandwich but unfortunately it's not freshly grilled--grilling for some char before serving would really take this up a level. Staff was friendly and helpful. There weren't too many eat-in diners on a weekday for dinner but tons of Uber eats type pick ups so the restaurant stayed busy

Foodie alert!?!?! Banh Mi Boys is lighting up the culinary scene in downtown Columbia. Hidden off the beaten path, a blocks walking distance from 701 Whaley. Serving up authentic Vietnamese Bahn Mi, ranging from plant based to meat. If you are not in the mood for a bun, choose from salad or noodle options. Seating is sparse inside making for a better grab-n-go option. Service was quick and flavors did not disappoint. For my first trip myself and guest both ordered shrimp which were perfectly cooked and boasting tantalizing flavors. My guest opted for the salad version whereas I selected the noodle option. I have been longing to return since I finished my last bite!

We were in the mood for Vietnamese food so we tried this restaurant. It was really hot outside, so we only wanted to order a few things. We started with the crab rangoon appetizer and it was so tasty. I ordered a grilled shrimp salad and my husband ordered a pork banh mi sandwich. Everything was fresh and delicious. You order at the counter and then they bring the food to you so the place is not a formal dining experience. It is a great place for lunch.

Solid Bahn Mi and Vietnamese foods place! They offer dine-in or take-out. You order both at the counter and if you dine in, you get a number and take a seat. You can enjoy your drinks while you wait for your food to come out. When we were there, the kitchen was extremely busy and it did take a bit to get our food, but we weren't in a hurry. They do offer alcoholic drinks and I had a lovely Hitachino Red Rice Ale. They also have Raume in different flavors too. Little extras that make the food stop even better. I definitely enjoyed my vermicelli bowl with charbroiled pork and fried eggrolls!

Food was so refreshing and tasty! I had the Bang Bang shrimp banh mi. I shave to say Probably one of the better sandwiches I had on my trip to NOLA. The store isn't to busy but they have lots of seating and a great A/C system. They keep up with facilities leaving the restaurant looking nice and clean! Thanks for the great food!

Amazing bahn mi. We got the bang bang shrimp and the bulgogi beef. With spring rolls and Rangoon's. Everything was amazing. Filled with flavor and freshness. Josh helped us decide and did not steer us wrong. Wish I could try everything on the menu. Best meal we've had on vacation so far. Will not disappoint! And a perfect way to escape the craziness of New Orleans without skipping on the flavor. Thank you Josh! Open a location in Sacramento!

The sandwich was incredible. I mean, like incredible. I took off stars for the service. Maybe because I used to be a Mystery Shop - there is just something about a lack of excitement with service that always gets to me. The young man behind the counter literally looked like he didn't want to be there. Walking into an establishment and no one At least says Hello will also just rub me the wrong way. Full stop. It always will. But that sandwich!!! The juxtaposition of that sauce on the shrimp against the tanginess of that slaw was magical. I also had a Passionfruit and Guava daiquiri, which was also delicious.

Was on a Po Boy crawl on my last trip out to NoLa and we decided to end the crawl here (since...you know...one could argue it's "not a po'boy") and hOT DAMN were we glad we did. While already stuffed to the gills the salty/sweet and delicious flavors (bang bang) are addictive. Small servings of sake, fast and friendly service. Ya. A must stop if you want a unique and delicious fast casual spin on a regional classic.

You won't find many better sandwiches than Banh Mi Boys, and if you like Crab Rangoon these may spoil you for life. Unquestionably some of the best Crab Rangoon I've ever had, definitely a guilty pleasure but you may never be able to eat them anywhere else. And the Bang Bang Shrimp Banh Mi is one of best shrimp sandwiches in town. True dat. Shrimp are de-veined and butterflied which doesn't happen with most po-boys in town and they are fried nicely and coated with a great Bang Bang sauce. Spring rolls are fine - I prefer the grilled pork - and the Chicken Katsu Banh Mi is very good while Po-Boys are good but I prefer the Banh Mi. Whether dining in or getting delivery, you're not likely to go wrong at Banh Mi Boys.

Stopped by for quick lunch and this place was good! For the four of us, we got the Tofu Spring Rolls, Shrimp Spring Rolls, Grilled Pork Bahn Mi, and Bang Bang Shrimp Bahn Mi. Everything was very fresh, the shrimp spring roll wrapper was a little loose so some of the shrimp fell out. The Bang Bang shrimp sauce was so yummy with a little thai chili kick and sweetness from the sauce. The grilled pork was your standard bahn mi, my favorite type of bahn mi. I would have like a little more sauce on the sandwich. I think this is a good spot to drop in for a light lunch!

We got 2 of the Bang Bang Shrimp Bahn Mi, egg rolls and the white chocolate almond bread pudding. We truly enjoyed the freshness of the Bahn Mi and the crunchy deep fried egg rolls. The bread pudding was AWESOME! Give this place a try. We ordered via Uber Eats.

I've been wanting to try their original location in Metaire, but I never got around to it. Was running some errands on Magazine st and saw there's a location right across from Breaux Mart. Service was fast and friendly. It was a little warm inside so I HAD to get a cold beer with my meal. I opted for the bang bang shrimp bahn mi. I don't eat these often but it felt a bit pricey. The bahn mi was delish though. It's worth a return visit for sure.

We ordered the katsu Bahn mi, a pork rice bowl, and the Korean fried chicken wings. Katsu Bahni Mi was fine until we bit into sand and dirt in the vegetable mix. Korea fried chicken wings tasted more like Buffalo wings than anything else. Fries are solid though! The pork rice bowl is fine. But again the vegetable mix with the daikon and carrot--we bit into sand. Honestly just rating on flavor alone it's probably 2 stars no matter what.

This was my first time ever eating banh mi and clearly I have been missing out. Bread was fresh and soft on the inside. The garlic butter shrimp was so good! Service was quick and great if your in a rush.

The food was okay (expensive, but what can you do about inflation) , service was nice, however, I have a huge stain on my pants now bc my leg touched under the table while sitting and there's now a huge ketchup/hoisin stain on it. It's of course not the restaurants fault. Just be wary when sitting I guess lol

LOVE the original location (adjacent to a gas station in Metairie) but I'm grateful to have a new location closer to home with a lot more seating! I grabbed some take out and got my usual crab rangoons (so so yummy) and a tofu banh mi. Service is great, order at a counter and pay. Take your number and a seat and your food is brought out to you. They've packed a lot of seating in this former pizza shop (and so many others). Plus there are some outdoor seats too, just not on the rainy Saturday when I was there. Prices are good too! Parking is on the street. Do not park in the grocery store lot unless you want a boot!

Service was great as we walked in and ordered, the person behind the counter even gave us some extra ranch after we had already paid. The food was excellent: the banh mi's were dripping with sauce and the fries were incredible in quantity AND quality!

I've ordered at both locations, dine in and takeout and the food is always good. So many choices and they are helpful in what to order. Last visit (dine in, uptown) we had the KFC wings, all three shrimp banh mi, and the debris fries. Everything was excellent and I highly recommend them.

The banh mi hit the spot! They were large, fresh and delicious!! We were looking for something that the vegetarian in our group could enjoy and this was it. We ordered a few and I asked for a recommendation. The guy working said Bang Bang shrimp was one of their favorite. It didn't disappoint. It was slightly sweet, crisp and shrimp was plentiful and fresh. Guys...the fries were large amount and crispy! They might have been the best fries I had visiting New Orleans. I would definitely come back and eat here. The place looked bright and clean, the service was friendly. The food was on point and definitely worth the value.

Service was great. The young employee was very patient. Food came out in a timely manner and tasted fresh. I do wish the beef were a bit tender so that the bites from the spring rolls were easier. You get a ton of veggies in the salad and the rice plate. They all reheat nicely at home as I ate on these two plates for three meals. I also had the lychee drink and it was perfect for a summer day.

After eating so much fried food during my trip, I decided to switch it up & see what type of Vietnamese food was around. Banh Mi Boys caught my attention with their 4 star rating and colorful pictures. Located on the corner of Magazine St & Toledano St, this is their second location and it is surrounded by other eateries and boutiques. They have outdoor bench seating and when driving by, you can't miss them - they have a giant "Greetings from Magazine" mural right in front! Inside, there is more colorful murals and seating with a nice AC system. I love the vibe inside, as well the murals that showcase the beautiful art of NOLA. Parking here is metered and can be challenging during prime time. BMB offers your typical Asian cuisine like spring rolls, egg rolls, grilled pork, usual banh mi's, etc. but they also offer banh mi's and fries with a twist. If my bf wasn't asleep at home still from jetlag, we could've tried so much more :') I got the Bang Bang Shrimp banh mi and Cajun Crack Fries. The Bang Bang Shrimp is fried gulf shrimp tossed in a sweet Thai chili glaze - just like other shrimps in NOLA, they are PLUMP! When you bit into the banh mi, the bang bang shrimp banh mi was sweet, with the crunchiness of the toasted bread and veggie toppings inside. The Cajun Crack Fries were crispy fries topped with fried chicken skin, applewood smoked bacon, a drizzle of ranch, and topped with a flamin' hot crackling crumble and green onions. It was savory, crunchy, and tasty. The ranch wasn't too noticeable but definitely gave it the umph it needed. I almost thought it was some sort of aioli sauce. Initially my bf thought the flamin' hot crumbles were salmon roe, but I think they're just hot cheetos crumbs. Interesting twist and so good. Other banh mi's were bulgogi, char siu (chinese bbq pork), chicken katsu, brisket, honey shrimp, garlic butter shrimp and so much more! Will definitely be coming back next to time to try more.

We stopped in to grab a bite on a Friday night and we're surprised to see that the place was almost empty! The service is quick and the servers are super kind. The Thai tea wasn't too strong, but had a nice balance between sweet and mellow. The fries were loaded with bulgogi beef, but were a bit heavy with all of the spicy Mayo. However, they are great for sharing. The bánh mi was flavorful and loaded with thick slices of pork. The pickled veggies were a little more on the sour, vinegary side, lacking that hint of sweetness that pickled veggies usually have to balance them out, but nonetheless it was a a great experience.

First time going to Banh Mi Boys (Magazine St.) and everything was amazing. Had the Bang Bang Shrimp Banh Mi, Pork Belly Banh Mi, and Oyster Rockefeller fries. Everything was perfectly cooked and the service was fast and friendly. I already want to go back because there were so many things on the menu that looked good. Check them out!

Saw this restaurant as I drove by and decided to stop and grab a sandwich. The interior was cute and menu was quite big. The service was a bit relaxed and slow but nothing serious. I got the char siu banh mi and was not disappointed. It was stuffed with meat and delicious. Wish it had some of that mayo sauce and jalapeños in it though. Would love to try their other sandwiches next time.

First time trying Banh Mi Boys! So happy I finally made my way over. The prices were great, and so was the food. The fries were good, but could've used more sauce. However, the Banh Mi's were GREAT. Good portion of meat and loved the fresh herbs and veggies. Bread was nice and fresh.

Lauren M.

Yelp
I love this place so much! My first experience was with the fries that have the chicken skin. That was dangerously good, so I stayed away for a long time! Now my go to is the Honey Shrimp Banh Mi and the flavor fusion is perfect every time. The crab Rangoons are perfectly mixed, and you're going to want an extra order. I always order to go, but the staff is nice and I haven't had a wait since I've been going.

Z A.

Yelp
Great location, staff was nice, and the environment itself is good. I'd recommend coming here if you're looking for a "twist" on a banh mi or want an artisan banh mi instead of a traditional, simple one. I usually get the bang bang banh mi at the other location so tried the spicy BBQ brisket here. It was interesting, but didn't have all that much flavor. It was decently spicy though, which was nice. It is among the more expensive banh mi places, but that should be expected considering the location and these are "specialty" sandwiches. Update: this place may have given me food poisoning, beware.

Banh Mi Boys on Magazine is perfect for a quick lunch or taking your time and enjoying the fresh and delicious food that Banh Mi Boys is known for. The banh mis are always super fresh with right amount of spice. I usually get lemongrass grilled shrimp or the Cajun butter and both have very fresh shrimp with super fresh cilantro, shredded carrots and daikon, with sliced jalapeños. If you've never had their fries you should try them soon ! Crispy and hot, seasoned or the oysters Rockefeller you can make a meal of them. The rice plates and vermicelli bowls are also very good with very fresh veggies and whatever protein you choose.

Great addition to Magazine Street - adding to diversity of food options. I tried the Lemongrass Pork banh mi. The bread was the best part - crusty but soft interior with the just right chew. The pork was nicely char-grilled. There's plenty of interior seating and a few tables outside.

Bomb banh Mis. I prefer this location over their original location on airline. It's a lot more spacious inside and I also like the option of sitting outside and people watching on magazine st. It's dog friendly as well which is a plus. Now let's down to the food. I love their bang bang Shimp and honey Sriracha banh mi. I also love their k town fries and steak and egg fries. Their Vietnamese iced coffee and matcha milk tea are also big hits as well. There's so many vegetarian and non vegetarian options. Highly recommend.
