Banh Mi Spot

I love that there is an option for a small portion of phó. My wife and I love getting a variety but sometimes it’s hard to take on a big adventure with just two stomachs. The food is pretty good. The BMS Boné is a bit much for me but was still tasty. The chicken phó was good and the bubble teas were tasty. Not sure if it’s the best Banh mi in the city but it is pretty good.

What a gem of a spot! As an Asian food lover, this Vietnamese eatery quickly became a favorite in the neighborhood. Their summer rolls, bánh mì, and caramel coffee are incredible—the coffee, especially, hits the perfect sweet spot. I’ve already returned several times, and I know I’ll be back again!

After seeing this place on instagram I wanted to try their egg coffee and banh mi. When we try to order the Egg coffee was told they no longer make them. So tried the sea salted caramel iced coffee with cold foam. It was really good. Also tried the banh mi with cold cuts. I was a bit shock at the size of the banh mi. I think it was about 6-8” which is about 1/2 the size of a regular banh mi I’m used to getting from other shops. Despite the size of the banh mi the flavor was definitely good and a good amount of meat inside. But for $8 banh mi wish it was a little bit bigger. Overall I am satisfied with the quality for both sandwich and drink. If I am in the area and craving for a banh mi I would go back.

This place definitly do banh mi well. Mine BMS banhmi was pack to the gill with flavor and ingred. The fried egg was nicely cooked with some yolk running out. The staff was nice and friendly answered our Q. The cup of pho for 16oz was 9.50 and it was abyssmal the soup was so weak might as well go beef broth swanson. Cubed ribed eye was said on the menu but nope and just a FEW sliced just what u can get in any frozen asian supermarket. You are better off mama cup pho. So if skip the pho if you vaule 10 dollars. The beef bowl was well seasoned and appreciated the varity of fresh veggies and not just iceberg lettus like most viet place. Alittle under sized but still 30x better then cup of pho.

The ribeye banh mi was magnificent 👑, the only issue was I finished it too quickly. Pair it with a mongo green tea and you have yourself a lovely lunch. Beautiful vibe, open air, perfect for a quick date!

EDIT: I have been here 5+ times now and tried their other dishes. Spring rolls and pho are perfection🤌🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽 great easy lunch or dinner to pick up, cannot beat the prices. So glad fishtown has Vietnamese food!!! The Vietnamese iced coffee is great. Been here a couple times for lunch. Great American- Vietnamese fusion! hits the spot!

Banh Mi Spot is a fantastic addition to the ever-growing Fishtown dining scene. The restaurant is clean and welcoming, with friendly staff who are always attentive. We’ve had the chance to visit several times, both for dine-in and takeout, and each experience has been consistently satisfying. The flavors are vibrant and authentic, a perfect fix for anyone craving Vietnamese cuisine without the need to trek to North or South Philly. The menu strikes a great balance between variety and focus, featuring classic Vietnamese favorites like pho, banh mi, and vermicelli bowls, without being overwhelming. Portion sizes are generous but not excessive, ensuring you leave full without feeling overindulgent. As a parent, I also appreciate how toddler-friendly the menu is. My little one loves the pho and rice dishes here, making mealtime stress-free and saving me a day’s effort of gathering ingredients and cooking. Whether you’re looking for a casual meal with family or a quick takeout option, Banh Mi has become a go-to spot in the neighborhood. It’s a gem that Fishtown didn’t know it needed but now can’t live without.

We had the pleasure of finding this place on their grand opening! When deciding on where to eat, we knew that a banh mi would be something fresh that would hit the spot and Banh Mi Spot did not disappoint. I got the lemongrass chicken and my wife got the pate fried egg banh mi. They were both delicious. We will be coming back for sure. Great service on their opening day.

I love this place! Amazing food and the people are really nice! The weekly deals are awesome too and they have me a free drink for leaving a review!!

I really enjoy having a new lunch or takeout spot in the area. It was initially somewhat chaotic, with longer lines and wait times, but they've streamlined their processes, and during my last few visits, everything has gone smoothly. There was one occasion when Toast didn't correctly submit my order, leading to some confusion when I arrived. However, they handled that situation exceptionally well and got my order out promptly. My favorite item is the Ribeye Banh Mi, though it's a bit small to enjoy on its own unless you're not very hungry. I've been trying various appetizers and sides, and while they've all been good, none have been as memorable as the sandwich. It's the star of the show for me.

Cute little shop in Fishtown serving Vietnamese food. The service was quick and they were especially kind & patient as we waited for our entire party of 6. The summer rolls were huge and stuffed! Enough to share with someone else. The pho came in a cup which was interesting but the broth was delicious. The Banh mis were also good! The bread was toasted & crunchy. The grilled pork was marinated and overall delicious. It was definitely smaller than some other ones you may find at Ba Le for example. Overall, if you're in the area and craving Vietnamese food, it definitely does the job.

Summary of this place after seeing it on IG. Food: 3/5 - I tend to look at value and quality of the food. When lookin at the menu initially, the value for the banh mi seemed amazing. Sub 10$ is great, however when we got the food.....it's prob 1/2 size of an authentic one you get from a mom&pop shop. The flavor was good (I got ribeye) but nothing that blew me away. I did enjoy the Vietnamese coffee. Service: 2/5 - Friendly staff, however they need to fix their processes for handling orders. Ordered my food and waited nearly 15 min and then overheard folks in the back saying the order didn't go through to the kitchen. Total wait time was like 25 min for a small sandwich. Coffee was quick though. Ambiance: 5/5 - Beautiful lookin place in fishtown, helped bump the overall score to 3/5. Overall: 3/5 solid spot in fishtown. Go over there, snag some food drinks and pictures. Food....ehhh, service....needs some process improvements. I'll cut em some slack cause they're new and still improving.

This is a beautiful, cozy spot in Fishtown. Aesthetically very pleasing and staff is friendly. I ordered the bang bang shrimp banh mi and lemongrass chicken banh mi. The bang bang shrimp one was delicious but very pricey for a small portion - $9. The lemongrass chicken was ok - $8. A 16 ounce Vietnamese iced coffee was $6, which is comparable to other banh mi cafes. But I didn't like the coffee at all. It had a very artificial flavor. It didn't taste like the phin drip version and I'm not sure if they use Arabica beans versus Robusta beans. I would go back to try other menu items as they had other drink and food options.

Great spot in the hood with reasonable pricing. Loved the Ambiance and was a perfect weather day to enjoy the seating with windows open. Good spread of pho, bahn mi, vermicelli and starters. Everything was well priced and the service was good too. Tried their tofu pho, shrimp bahn mi and tofu bahn mi (vegan). Everything was well flavored and quite filling. So many choices on boba tea and Vietnamese coffee that it was a tough pic but a delicious one (caramel foam coffee). Glad to have this place in the neighborhood that is decent price and I hope it stays like this. Will definitely come back again to try more things on the menu.

Great cute shop. The coffee was great. Can't wait to go back. Pho by the cup in the winter is genius.

This spot hit so close to home. I had just come back from eating banh mis for breakfast everyday in Vietnam to come back home and see that this gem was open. The banh mis are delicious. I came back the next day and ordered 4 more to try with my family. The service was seat yourself and they call out your name when the order is ready. It's also very cute inside. They have a cute little opening where you can sit and people watch and enjoy the indoors at the same time. The coffee was so delicious as well. I wanted to try the egg coffee but they were out both times but it's ok because the salted caramel was still satisfying and not too sweet. Will definitely be my new go to spot when I'm craving a taste of home.

Not very impressed, as it's less flavorful and clearly not authentic compared to offerings in South philly. The flavor doesn't punch the way viet food should. but good enough for fishtown i guess

Ran in on a whim after a nearby resto couldn't accommodate us. They could not have been friendlier or more accommodating to us and everyone who stopped by. Vegan tofu banh mi was amazing; hoping they add vegan mayo to make it superb!!

Ordered carry out from here for the first time and wow, I'll definitely be back. Food was hot and ready super fast. The chichiron sauce was amazing, and I love the cup of pho to go. It's the perfect size to have a sandwich and a soup. Good value for price. Ambiance looked very clean and classy but I was only there briefly.

Amazing!!!!!! Great customer service ! Great food ! The crispy tofu is to die for ! The spring rolls divine! The bang bang shrimp perfect! The mango passion fruit refresher is a favorite of my family! Definitely give them a try!

Stopped by on a whim since they're doing a soft opening. Picked up a pork belly banh mi and spring rolls. Spring rolls were good, slightly bitter or something similar but went well with the dipping sauce (? Prob not the right word). Pork belly was really good, sandwich a bit messy but delicious. Cute inside, cozy but not overdone or minimalistic either. People seemed nice and food came out pretty quick. Would go back but they need to put prices on menu, though maybe it's a soft opening thing?

Decent sandwiches Wish they were a bit bigger* But great iced coffee *the bread is perfect, just a bit Smol

Fast, very affordable and delicious. I had the traditional cold cut bahn mi. The pickled radish and carrot were crisp, sweet and sour, just as they should be. The spread and pate were good, and the portion of cold cuts was almost too generous! My only mild criticism is that the bread could be a bit more crisp, but I'll be back to try more soon. A great addition to the neighborhood!

Food was delicious. Highly reccomend pork and rib eye. Kind service and very quick. Clean and cute restaurant. Good lunch spot

The food here is fantastic and reasonably priced: the teriyaki ribeye and the lemongrass chicken banh mos are both excellent, the bang bang shrimp is messy but testy, and my 17 year old loves the pho.

Checked this out while stopping in Fishtown. The banh mi was delicious, nice big juicy shrimps. The ones in Chinatown are bigger but also significantly pricier. For under $10 I would consider it worth it. Fried tofu was ok, made well, but maybe not my thing. Would come again.

Ordered the grilled pork and Bang Bang shrimp. Authentic. Very close to the Banh Mi had in Vietnam. Bread could be toasted a bit more, but doesn't take away from the flavor.. Will be back

Got the tofu bahn-mi. It had the slightest hint of fishy-ness to it for some reason, but the veggies were fresh and bread crispy. Very busy for lunch, but plenty of places to sit. Service was prompt and polite.

The food was delicious, but I paid $24 for a bahn mi - that was wayyyy tinier than Bale bahn mi's (about 6in) - and sweet potato fries. I couldn't believe it. The flavors were great, but that's way overpriced in my opinion.

Excellent food and bubble tea! First, the food. The rice dishes are so flavorful and really fresh ingredients. The summer rolls are so good and fresh and a great deal for a light lunch. Then the bubble tea. Green and black tea options on all flavors, milk tea, all the boba and jelly flavors, and you can order half-sweet. Prices are reasonable too. I love this place!

First time having a banh mi and I'm hooked. I ordered the lemon grass chicken banh mi and it was absolutely delicious! Definitely will be coming back. Service was great. Everyone was so helpful & kind

Very solid banh mi! Ordered the bang bang shrimp & lemongrass chicken. Both were awesome. Prices are very reasonable as well. Will certainly be going back and trying the other banh mi's/teas.
