My family and I stopped by Bánh Mì Ơi to try it out for the first time. We usually have to drive a good distance for authentic Vietnamese food, so finding this hidden gem that was closer to us was great!
As we got there, the staff greeted us and answered any questions we had regarding the menu. They serve bánh mì, drinks, rice bowls, and soup noodles. The place is very cute with a modern aesthetic. I love the decor that showcases the Vietnamese culture. The tables are clean, yet a bit sticky but that wasn’t a big issue for us. The food quality and customer service won us all over.
I got the lemongrass steak rice bowl and the spicy Nashville chicken bánh mi. The lemongrass steak rice bowl was a good portion for dine-in. It was served with lettuce, cucumber, pickled vegetables, and a side of nước mắm (Vietnamese fish sauce).
The spicy Nashville chicken bánh mì was delicious. One of the best chicken sandwiches i’ve ever had. The chicken was seasoned perfectly with a spicy kick to it. It was paired well with the banh mi baguette and toppings, better than I had imagined. It was extremely flavorful. 10/10, I would get this again. I wish they had a more mild version of this sandwich because my spice tolerance is low, but it is still one of my favorite menu items!
For a drink, we got the cafe sua da (Vietnamese condensed milk coffee). It was great! Tasted like expected and had a perfect ratio of sweetness and coffee flavor.
This place was great! Prices range from $10-15 depending on what you get; it is a bit pricey but this is a small business, and the food is worth it. I would love to come here again and try the rest of the menu!
