Banh Mi Place

The banh mi was pretty solid—definitely the highlight of the meal. The pork was flavorful. The bread was fresh, with that perfect crispy crust and soft interior. I also loved the creamy mayo and tangy pickled vegetables, which added a nice balance to the sandwich. Unfortunately, the pho was a major letdown. The broth tasted bland and watered down, more like the free soup you get with a lunch special than the rich, aromatic broth you’d expect from a good pho. It lacked the depth of flavor and the comforting warmth that make pho so special. The noodles and other ingredients couldn’t save it either.

I got a grilled pork banh mi, and to be very fair, the pork tasted really good. But I have to give it 3 stars because it was kinda sad to see how little filling they put in the sandwich, I wish they had filled it up some more. Again, the taste is great, no complaints there. I probably would not come back to this place for banh mi again.

🤤 the samwhiches were rlly Gud especially the seafood one, a lil sweetness and so juicy!! The chicken was great too since it kinda reminded me of how my chickens come out (not too juicy but not dry but could be juicier). Great place to go if you wanna grab a friend, snag a lunch and head to prospect park to sit down and chomp! Absolutely scarfed it down. Hope you like my photography skills ✌️🤠

Wait was pretty long, but the sandwich was solid. Medium spicy grilled pork. Would come back again if there wasn't a 30-minute wait. Thanks for the food!

I have eaten here twice and honestly the food is just OK. The pho had no flavor. The broth tasted of water. The green Papaya salad was all carrots. The banh mi was skimpy on the meat. Overall disappointing. This is a hole in the wall restaurant. The dining area is tiny and uncomfortable. The bubble tea was fine but all ice if you ask me.

I haven’t been able to stop thinking about the faux chicken Bahn Mi! This place has great portions, prices, and quality. It’s only a couple blocks walk from The Brooklyn Museum, so a great place to have lunch when you’re visiting. My daughter also had a pork platter, which got high marks from her. The Bun bowl was excellent, tasty spring rolls as well. I can’t wait to go back!

I actually really like this spot- the food is good, service is fast, prices are reasonable, the location is good. The reason I am giving one star is because, for whatever reason, they never make my sandwich actually spicy. Every time I ask, I expect it to be the 🌶️🌶️🌶️ level as indicated on the menu, and every single time it is milder than a cup of milk. Today I looked at the person taking my order in the eyes and asked “can I please ACTUALLY have it spicy?” to which they replied “yes,” and my sandwich came with half a sliver of jalapeño for the entire thing, and mayo milder than dew drops on a rose. If the restaurant replies to this review and explains why they cannot make a spicy sandwich, and agrees to actually season my food as I ask, and to match the level advertised on the menu, I will update to five stars. UPDATED: thank you to Banh Mi Place for replying. Unfortunately, I went today and asked for a spicy sandwich, and it was still not spicy. See second photo with same half a jalapeño and mild sauce.

Mediocre food. Certainly not bad but the shredded chicken itself is pretty bland. I don’t think it was marinated. Pretty heavy on the mayo. 3.5 stars for food Knocked down a half star because of the pricing. Post tax and pre tip, a banh mi cost $10.50 (the menu used to list $7.50 and now lists $8.50, so there’s some mystery massive surcharge being added in addition to the tax - and credit card processing is not that expensive).

The absolute best banh mis! The bread is perfectly crunchy on the outside, but soft and pillowy on the inside. Just the right amount of pickles, sauce and cilantro. I absolutely love the grilled pork here! I usually get this at least once per week. They are super fast with orders. I usually order for pickup on GrubHub and my order is always ready by the time I walk over, which is 10-ish minutes away.

The summer rolls were good. It's been hard to find good summer rolls. The broth was decent but I wish the beef pho came with tendon, brisket, beef balls, and more. It was the simplest pho I've had where it's just sliced beef. Also, the Jasmine bubble tea is alright. Boba was ok. We lucked out on finding a table. It gets filled quickly. The place is small but nice and intimate. My wife liked her banh mi and said it's the first place to have ground pork. She said the bread is crispy. I wished this place had beef banh mi.

I really enjoyed my banh mi! I would probably ask for extra filling next since I think it could use a little bit more. However overall it was very yummy and I will be back.

Very solid Bahn Mi for an extremely reasonable price. It didn't blow my mind but it was fresh and filling and had great flavor. I'd highly recommend if you're looking for something quick, cheap, and relatively healthy.

We were in a hurry to catch a flight from Brooklyn and wanted to try some thing in the area for lunch. We are never one to turn down Banh mi so we walked over. It's small inside but seems to do a lot of DoorDash/takeout business. I enjoyed my roasted pork banh mi with medium spice, and kids liked their classic mild. Hefty portions. Their shrimp papaya salad was delicious as well. Kids also loved their Thai bubble tea. Good spot for a quick bite.

Great place for banh mis! They are fast and prices are definitely cheap for the city. They also do boba pretty well too if you are looking for a nice drink and sandwich combo.

Damn this place dropped off quality wise. I used to love this spot, obviously. Got a vegetarian chicken sandwich awhile back, my go to, and a good 7 bites of it was just bread. These sandwiches used to be loaded and now they're slim and sad. Looks like I'll return to my favorite new bahn mi spot in FIDI, Henry's Sandwich, when I'm craving a delicious Bahn mi

Take away- No seating but a fast , delicious, & cheap! (Bah mi sandwich and bubble tea lunch special for under $15. ) Is it the best sandwich & Bubble Tea Sandwich I have ever had?....sadly, no but fast & filling. I like the Tofu Bah Mi Sandwich but be warned their mayonnaise is not vegan so you can leave it off if necessary. Neighborhood favorite. Wait times can get lengthy. Go online and order in advance if pressed. There is really no seating to speak of: there a bench outside but usually customers whom are waiting sit there.

The food was ok. Typically when I order pho for take out, they provide a side of mint, cilantro, jalapeños or chilies, lime wedge, and green onions. This just has mint, a few bean sprouts, a lime wedge , and poachers for hoisin and siracha sauce. It wasn't giving a lot of flavor that I'm used to, but I will say the broth was very tasty. Overall, it was decent

Only been to Banh Mi Place twice, but I'd consider it one of my favorites in the neighborhood. Every sandwich is ~$10 or just under, making it a great option for a cheap lunch. The tofu banh mi was delicious, with fresh bread, perfectly pickled veggies, and a healthy serving of sriracha mayo. I actually liked it so much I came back two days later and tried the seafood sandwich, which was also good but I wasn't as big a fan (it was pretty heavy on crab stick). It is cash preferred, but you can pay with card for a small fee.

Tasty, fast, great price sandwiches and bubble tea. Stop by on the way to the museum, or sit in for a quick bite. My go-to is the vegetarian fish sandwich w/o mayonnaise (gross). It's a solid sandwich, love it extra spicy and at a great price. This is the kind of place I go to when I want to fill up and keep the bankroll chill. If I'm really full, I enjoy the veggy springrolls (especially the peanutbutter sauce omg). I think once I've gotten the rice version because they were out of bread. Somehow didn't hit the same way. Also enjoyed the green papaya salad in the summer. The bubble tea is solid too, mostly get the taro w/ soy milk. Inside has a few tables to eat and lounge but not for a big group. Solid service, always coming back. Keep it up crew

I stopped by Banh Mi Place on a weekday last month after hitting up the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. The reviews looked pretty solid and there didn't seem to be a lot of great cheap eats in the area. This place is located on a nice street with a decent amount of foot traffic. Inside, it's ultra small and there is one table and a small counter you can eat at if you want to dine in. This place charges an extra fee for credit card, so I'd recommend paying with cash. I ordered the classic banh mi, which came out to $9.25 total. The first thing I noticed was that the banh mi was fairly small, so that was disappointing. It did seem to be hot and very freshly made, so that was a plus. The bread was pretty crunchy and solid. The flavor and cohesiveness of the sandwich was really good. Unfortunately, there wasn't that much meat on the sandwich so it wasn't that filling. So the banh mi tasted great, but I wish I got more for my money or that the price of the sandwich was lower overall. Guess I'd say this place is just ok for a quick lunch if you're in the area.

All of the food I ate had little to no flavor. I too had taro tea and it was flavorless. I'm giving it a three because staff was good. Absolutely would pass in the future.

It's raining here in the city and decided to get me some Pho , and I thought it would have been a slow day. WRONG!!!! As the place is small, today It was packed. All 3 tables were filled and limited standing room only. I was so excited to see this on a rainy day. For my food, I got the exact same as last time (beef, tofu, and no noodles) , however, I added their papaya salad. Well, well, well....amazing!!!! The papa salad was sweet, tasty, and full of flavor. As I said before, I will continue to support this businessm Highly recommend it!!!

I recently tried the vegetarian tofu rice dish from Banh Mi place. I'd say it met my expectations. While it was more expensive than the quoted menu online, it was still around $10 making it a relatively inexpensive quick takeout option for a east weekday meal. I've heard the sandwiches are pretty good and for the value and taste I would come back to try one. For now, I appreciated how this dish tasted fresh and the tofu had good flavor.

We were visiting from Connecticut and I was so excited to get my hands on a banh mi. I've said it before and I'll say it again: I am a Vietnamese food snob. Being full Vietnamese, my standards are very high when it comes to authentic Vietnamese cuisine. I ordered their classic banh mi and their spring rolls. I felt the spring rolls were not fresh as the vermicelli in them were pretty hard. I did enjoy their sauce and found that it was a good amount of umami and sweetness. Although not a traditional banh mi with their bread, my partner did enjoy his sandwich. He found the flavors to be good although there could have been more meat and pate on the sandwich. Overall, it was not a bad experience - I do think there could be improvements to make the menu a bit more authentic such as the baguette it is served on. I also think we could improve by making the spring rolls to order instead of pulling them from the fridge pre made.

I had a vegetarian ham banh mi after a visit to the Brooklyn Museum. The sandwich has a nice bold flavor and was very affordable. I can't wait to go back!

Ingredients were fresh. Quick service. Perfect portions. Was very satisfied. Would return.

I was looking for a quick bite to eat after visiting the Botanical Gardens with my friend & her daughter. I found Banh Mi Place and it was within walking distance. This small shop makes really yummy Vietnamese food at decent prices, I got a classic mild sandwich with cucumber juice and that came out to be ~$14.00. You can adjust the spiciness from mild, medium to spicy. They have pho, vermicelli and rice dishes as well. There was around 3 small tables with 2 chairs each, but no bathroom sadly. At first our drinks came lukewarm but the staff added more ice cubes after we brought it up. Overall, this shop definitely has potential and the sandwiches were delicious. There was a constant stream of customers and this will be my food spot whenever I am in the area.

I was looking for a quick bite before my Bklyn Botanic Garden visit and decided on Vietnamese. I bookmarked this place as a reminder of different places to try pre or post BBG visit. I was really craving peanut sauce with... I reviewed the menu and Summer Rolls with Shrimp sounded perfect on a beautiful Spring day. Bahn Mi, of course, has a wide variety of Bahn mi sandwiches with chicken, pork, veggie and seafood. Additionally, there a rice bowls, papaya salads and bubble teas. The Summer Roll with shrimp us wrapped in rice paper with seasoned shrimp, cilantro, vermicelli and greens with a side of peanut sauce. I also chose the vanilla bubble tea. My order was served promptly and courteously. Dining indoors is a bit tight thus I dined Al fresco on a bench outside Jacks Barbershop. The summer roll was simply delicious: 2 rolls packed with shrimp and the cilantro blended well with vermicelli. A sign of a good roll: doesn't fall apart after numerous dunks in the equally delicious peanut sauce. @$7 this dish is well worth it. The bubble tea had a sweet vanilla taste and the size was extremely generous. Bahn Mi is a 5 minute walk from Washington Avenue and is next to Most High for coffee and The Social for ice cream treats. I've bookmarked both places to try for dessert next time.

Still BOMB AF. Absolutely love this place as it's so close to prospect park and they have truly never disappointed. I love their banh mi's.

We came across this cute place while lost in NY initially we just wanted something refreshing and got bobas tea but then we saw how amazing their banh me looked and decided to get our self one after ordering a second tea ! Service was very friendly ( shout out to the girl at the register complementing my glasses ) and the teas and bank mi was out of this world Wish I could say I'd be back soon but I will say I will def be back once I come visits NY again

Excellent hole in the wall type spot. Amazing sandwiches! Very small inside, less of a sit down and dine, more like grab and go.

Took my dad here after a museum visit and we split a tasty bahn mi (pork) and shrimp roll plate. The juices were refreshing also. We were fortunate to find seating in the small indoor area but service was fast. Would come back for sure!

This is, by far, the best classic Banh mi sandwich I've had in New York. I've also tried the grilled pork sandwich and, though it was decent, I will go back to the classic sandwich. The bread is fresh, the vegetables are crisp, the ground pork, pate and ham are so tasty. The perfect ratio of everything. It is a very small place, mainly for to go orders. As of May 2021, you couldn't sit inside on the two bar stools they had, but they have a bench outside that you can sit on and devour your sandwiches on. I can't wait to go back again!!

This place has great service, but the food left much to be desired. It had no flavor. The grilled flavor was almost nowhere to be found, and the meat just tasted like the most basic marinade of sugar and fish sauce. There was no garlic, lemongrass, or anything. I got 2 sandwiches chicken and pork. Both were not very good. I was so hungry I ate half of the sandwich there, but once I got over that initial feeling I realized the lack of flavor. The bread was very good though. Would I go back? No, especially because of how far I walked to get there from where I was. Even if I was closer, still no. I'll make my own banh mi.

Best spot ever. Food is always delicious and fast, and everyone is so friendly. Very fairly priced as well!

Coffee: good! Creamy sweet, viet coffee style Grilled pork sandwich: solid flavor, decent amount of marinated pork Summer rolls: expensive and very lackluster. More rice noodles than anything else. No basil in summer rolls just lettuce and you NEED to use sauce to have any flavor

My friend recommended this place since we were going to be in the area. The inside is quite small with limited seating so many people choose to do takeout. Despite so many take out orders, they were able to get my food prepared in a timely manner. I ordered the grilled pork bahn mi and it sure hit the spot! The baguette was very fresh and super crispy.The pork itself had that smoky charred flavor that went great with the sweet and spicy seasoning. The meat was very tender and juicy, super flavorful. The vegetables were crisp and there was a good amount in the sandwich that added freshness. It was also interesting because they asked me what spice level I wanted and I'm not accustomed to that. I asked for the mild and it was a perfect hint of spice for me and not overpowering at all.

Banh Mi is good but not fantastic, was more bread than meat but overall but meat was seasoned nicely and not over cooked but it's mostly bread and the bread could be a little softer

Very friendly service & delicious food! I crave their banh mi all the time. Unassuming yet cute & family ran

Very good drinks, prepare to bring cash Service was quick and easy. banh mi's were very fresh

I didn't realize i hadn't had a good bahn mi in awhile until I went here! Good and quick yay

Grabbed a classic bahn mi and a hot Thai tea. Shop is small with room for about six patrons at two tables and at the counter. Service was pretty quick. The baguette for the bahn mi was superb. Hot and soft! Toppings were delicious! Hot Thai tea was interesting and hit the right spot on a chilly day.

The people who work here are very rude. There have been several times where deliveries have arrived with wrong items or poorly packed. When I have had to call back to let them know, it's usually been met with rude responses from the woman who is in charge.

This is our favorite neighborhood spot. Amazing bubble tea and we will go to the farthest reaches of the universe for good boba. But not just a go for the tea. Pho and bahn mi and all menu items are fresh and delicious. Friendly, clean and fabulous!!!

Decent place for an affordable lunch or dinner. I ordered the grilled chicken banh mi. The daikon radish and carrots were wonderful! Crunchy, fresh, and flavorful. I wish the chicken had been less fatty and chewy. There was plenty of meat on the sandwich, but I found myself only getting a few bites of chicken that didn't taste bland and rubbery. The sandwich comes with lots of mayo, so maybe ask for less if you're not keen on it. The hot Thai tea was pretty tasty (and very cozy for cold walks in February). It still has some sweetness but isn't very milky, so it's nice as a pick-me-up.

Tried out this spot yesterday after an afternoon at the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens - my boyfriend and I were thrilled to find a banh mi/Viet spot in this neighborhood! Unfortunately, everything kind of fell short for us. We ordered several different items on the menu to try and none of them really stood out... perhaps we ordered the wrong things? I went with what I thought were the classics: Summer Rolls ($5.75), 2 grilled pork banh mis ($8.50/each), beef pho ($11.75), and the grilled pork chop rice dish ($8.75). The grilled pork in the sandwiches seemed a bit too fatty/chewy, and the "pork chops" over rice were definitely not what I expected - they were oddly dark in color and lacked the char that I'm used to. I wonder if I was supposed to get the "grilled pork rice dish" instead of this grilled pork CHOP one - very confusing. And while I appreciate the default offering for rice is brown rice because yes that IS healthier, it threw me/the dish off even further. The beef pho was pretty underwhelming as well, since the broth tasted pretty light in flavor and the beef that is used is the kind you find at hot pot, fully cooked (not the partially raw, eye of round steak). The portion size was great though - they did not skimp on the noodles and it was the perfect amount to split between 2 people while feasting on all the other food we ordered. Everything we tried wasn't exactly on the authentic side (probably catering more to the locals that live in Prospect Heights) but I'd give it another shot - maybe to try the Classic banh mi and the bubble tea.

Coming from Orlando I have super high expectations of Viet food and this meets every level. Also have you seen them churn out the Bánh Mì? It's impressive. Maybe if they ever have space they can also offer Bánh Xèo in the future, but that's just my dream.

The Banh Mi Place is pretty good as far as banh mi goes. It's a take on the Vietnamese banh mi but with the twist -- the pork is minced and there is much more mayo than you would expect in a Vietnamese banh mi. That being said, it's probably the best banh mi in Brooklyn and Queens. The staff is attentive and efficient in taking orders and getting the food out to you. Usually, people order and eat elsewhere because the restaurant is so small with only a few tables and chairs. It gets pretty busy, so that's how you know it's good. The mocha boba though, is amazing and tastes so good. The coffee tastes amazing and the boba is top-notch. The Vietnamese coffee however is a bit overpriced for something that can be quickly made at home for $3 max.

The closest take out place we get acrossed during researching one day we came from Brooklyn museum. The service is quick. The price is reasonable. The sandwich we ordered ( grill pork) is very simple but tasty and filling. It is worth the wait. They only do take out and delivery right now due to Covid. If want try dine in, it only could sit people that would fit in around 2-3 tables. The place is meant for take outs.

Yum! Found this place after visiting the Brooklyn Museum. We had the pork banh mi. It was delicious. The bread was so good and the pork was flavorful. If you're visiting the museum, recommend this place for lunch.

I got the Classic Sandwich from their to-go operation in June 2021. It was more expensive and not as good and some banh mi sandwiches I've had in Texas. Wait was 10-15 minutes around lunchtime on a weekday. The bread was unfortunately nothing special. The meat was mostly ground pork with a few thin slices of ham. I had a hard time finding the pate. Veggies may have been chopped hours before they got on the sandwich as they were pretty soft.

This was one of my favorite finds in Brooklyn on my last trip. This is the type of the "hole in the wall" place that I love. Good food, good prices, and good people. I ordered the classic Banh Mi... no frills and a bubble tea. First the sandwich itself was fantastic. The bread was thinner than I've had in other places, and I liked this option WAY better. The filling didn't fall out with each bite which can often happen with other Banh Mis. The mango green bubble tea I had was simple and tasted great. It was a perfect lunch for me and my friend when we were hangry after spending a long time in line and then in the exhibits at the museum. Seating is limited, and there are no frills here. But what more do you need than good food without the pretense?

I've ordered from here numerous times and wish I could keep this place in my life forever. My go-to is the grilled pork bahn mi. My mouth waters thinking about the generous chunks of grilled pork that's are perfectly savory and sweet along with the pickled veggies and a bit of spiciness. The Vietnamese iced coffee is also amazing and only $3.75. I'm going to be so sad when I move from this neighborhood in a couple weeks. Whenever I order ahead or in store, I never have to wait long. Tip: only accept cash for orders less than $10

My friends and I were looking for a quick bite to eat before exploring Brooklyn and came across this Banh Mi shop that caught our attention as we walked by. The food certainly did NOT disappoint! This was definitely the best Banh Mi I have had and recommend the classic sandwich. Both mild spice and medium spice tasted great and is definitely worth the 10 dollars that we each paid. The bread was also toasted to perfection and the Banh Mi was very well prepared. Would recommend this shop to any looking for a quick bite during their Brooklyn visits.

I always walked pass by this small store on my way home and I was surprised at how many good reviews this place had so I wanted to try their infamous Banh Mi. I got the classic sandwich and my friend got their grilled pork sandwich. We both thought our Banh Mi tasted a bit different from other regular ones we had in the past. This one was definitely more creamy and the taste of mayonnaise and butter was very prominent. I expected it to taste a bit more citrusy, but I was pleasantly surprised at the ample amount of mayo in the sandwich. If you like the smooth texture and taste of mayo, you would love this sandwich. For me, I'm not a big fan of it but I still thought the sandwich was pretty delicious. It's also priced fairly so I would recommend this spot to anyone who's looking for a decent Banh Mi around the area.

Okay I was trying to compare this place to Banhmigos and they're pretty similar, but P prefers Banhmigos and so I only have ordered from this place once. Got the traditional banh mi and it wasn't what I was craving for, I miss pate that is done in a authentic Vietnamese way that you would find at any banh mi place in Houston. Ordered the Beef Pho at $10.50, but they called me to say they didn't have it and so they replaced it with a cheaper price Chicken at $10.00, but still charged me for the Beef price. Got the pork chop banh mi and vermicelli and sadly, don't remember my thoughts regarding both of them. Banhmigos and Banh Mi Place both have good baguette for their banh mi.

This place slaps. We were craving a burger after traversing the museum all day, found this wonderful food place instead and decided on a meaty bahn mi sandwich instead of a burger. The extra spicy grilled pork here is sweet, spicy, and savory all in several delicious bites. I am excited to come back this summer with friends and try the Vietnamese coffee, for which I'm already a sucker.
