Banhmigos

I ordered them on Uber Eats and I was hoping for something decent. I was served lettuce that obviously went bad. Translucent, wilting, and the sliced cucumbers were all floppy which isn’t normal for fresh cucumbers. I’m expecting to have food poisoning now. Also, this isn’t close to Vietnamese food. It’s honestly a pale imitation to what Vietnamese food actually tastes like. Save your money and go elsewhere.

Banhmi was great! I like the beef short rib and the chicken with added tofu the most. Sirracha makes the sandwich even much better! The neighborhood was pretty cute and quiet - perfect stop for lunch before heading over to Prospect park for ice skating.

Accidentally ordered pho from this location as I prefer the one on Vanderbilt. Asked if they could cancel the order for me. They offered to deliver it which was a nice gesture. The pho comes and the broth has leaked out of the entire deli container. There was no plastic wrap or tape covering the broth. I called to ask if they can send more broth and the soup is now inedible. The woman was beyond rude and told me “no you can order from a different delivery app”. What horrible service. I will never be ordering here again. There are way better pho places in the area who are not rude to their customers.

legitimately impressed by their short rib, slow cooked to perfection. boba was pretty 3/5, they were soaked too long and not very chewy

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ **Banhmigos is a Flavor Explosion You Don't Want to Miss!** I stopped by **Banhmigos** in Brooklyn and was absolutely blown away — this place is a *hidden gem*! I ordered the **peach green tea with boba** and a **chicken bánh mì**, and both were *phenomenal*. The peach green tea was refreshingly light, with just the right amount of sweetness, and the boba had that perfect chewy texture. But the real star of the show? The chicken bánh mì. The bread was **baked to perfection** — warm, crispy, and *toasted just right*, which took the sandwich to another level. Every bite had that satisfying crunch followed by juicy, flavorful chicken, crisp veggies, and a delicious balance of sweet, savory, and spicy. While the space is small and seating is limited, Banhmigos *more than makes up for it* with the **exceptional quality of their food** and **friendly, fast service**. The staff were kind, efficient, and clearly take pride in what they do. If you're anywhere near the area, **make it a point to stop here**. Whether you're craving something refreshing or a sandwich that seriously hits the spot, Banhmigos delivers big flavor in a small space. I can’t wait to go back!

I love Banh Mi. While what I had here tasted decent, there were 2 issues I had. 1) meat and veggies were placed in the bread side to side. This meant that you could never taste them together. You'd have to take two bites to taste everything together. The juices from the meat weren't coating the veggies and the side with no meat was an extremely dry bite. 2) Mayo. It was standard American mayo instead of the Vietnamese style butter/mayo mixture.

Disappointing. I’m Vietnamese so I was really excited when I moved to the neighborhood, but was really unsatisfied. The tofu spring rolls is 90% mushy noodles with only lettuce, no carrot or cucumber like it traditionally should. The chicken tofu banh mi was okay, but my partner liked it.

I went there yesterday after a very bad day and Banhmigos food gave me a boost I really needed. Grilled pork banh mi was the best I had in NYC yet. Moist, veggies were plenty of sour, salty and sweet, crunchy bread and just the right amount of cilantro. The staff was friendly, pretty quick and very calm overall. I loved the atmosphere. As soon as all the orders were done they went ahead to chill and played card games! Highly recommend. I’ll be back to try some other things they have on the menu. The only minus is that there is no bathroom. I’m 5months pregnant, so it was quite tricky to find a toilet nearby.

Came here yesterday for a lil lunch treat as I was craving pho, got their short rib pho and it was satisfying and delicious. Not my favorite pho but the price is right and they're 2 blocks from my work so I'm happy to return. I did here from the couple at the table next to mine that 5spice is better for pho

Tasty spot with great grab-and-go options. There's not much seating, so it's best for takeout, but the food is solid and flavorful. They take card (no extra fee!), which is always appreciated. Quick service and convenient for a casual bite.

Terrible service run by careless people who don't really care. I ordered a short rib banhmi for my daughter and specifically said "not spicy. It's for my kid." The girl taking my order said ok. We waited and received our banhmi to go. Once we got home and my daughter started eating, she told me it was really spicy. I took the sandwich apart and it was loaded with jalapeno peppers. WTF. FYI - they charge a ridiculously high 5% fee if you use a credit card. I would not come back here.

This place is bomb. Love when we come across an amazing banh mi location. Hole in the wall family run place with some outdoor seating, but don't be fooled because their sandwiches are bomb. My sis and I shared half and half of their beef short rib and their grilled chicken. The beef short rib was so tender and the chicken was fantastic as well. You really can't go wrong. They're quick and they do a good job making a great sandwhich. Go here!

Since when do corn tortillas equal flour tortillas? Way to go on accuracy and caring about your customers' dietary needs and preferences. Buyer beware: the tacos are prepared with flour tortillas.

Got a traditional banh mi for takeout at Banhmigos. It was the best banh mi I've ever had, hands down. Definitely will get next time I'm in town.

This is a small, takeaway place in Park Slope. They have some seating outside, and a few bar seats inside, but it's pretty cramped inside that you'd probably wanna grab and go. I walked in, placed and ordered, and got my food within 5-10 min, so they are fast which I appreciated. I don't think they are very authentic, but it gets the job done. It seems to be one of the only places in the area that serves Vietnamese food and doesn't only take cash, which was a plus! I had walked to 2 other restaurants in the area and couldn't order just because I didn't have cash. I got the pho with grilled pork, which came to around $15. I originally wanted beef, as that's my usual order, but for some reason the menu said they only have beef in the crown heights location. I found that really strange, but the grilled pork was nice and I'm glad I tried it. Overall, the portion is kinda small for what you're paying, but it was tasty. I would come back if I need a quick pho fix!

Reasonably priced, solid quality and very veggie friendly! I've been here a couple times since my friend lives nearby. I appreciate that I can customize the sweetness of my boba and I've enjoyed the food I've tried. It's not a given that a Vietnamese place would have mock duck, and I appreciated that extra variety as a vegetarian and I thought it was very tasty. This is a good spot for tasty, pretty quick takeout when you're in the area!

The food is generally good. But I put in an order that had written out instructions not to include three ingredients, one of which I'm allergic to, and they included all three. I had an allergic reaction and felt sick all day.

Decided to try this place as it is getting chilly outside and I was craving pho. Because of the store's name, I ordered Bahn Mi as well to try it. As other yelpers suggested, portion size is a bit small, so it was a smart move that I ordered Bahn Mi on top of Pho. The pho did not look special by look, but tasted delicious, probably one of the top 5 places I tried in NY. Bahn Mi was crispy and delicious as well. For the price, I think I really enjoyed the meal! I will definitely order from here next time. Check this place out whenever you crave either pho or Bahn Mi!

I came here around 7PM on a Sunday night after a Brooklyn Nets game because were we looking for some good/quick eats before heading home back to Washington D.C. I wanted some something relatively fast so found this hole-in-the-wall sandwich joint. When I walked in, it was clear that many people were ordering online for delivery to their homes. It seemed that lots of Latino dudes were walking in and out to make their deliver (is this why it's calling Banhmigos?). At any rate, there have a decent menu and their sandwiches are American-size--bigger than what you would get at a real Vietnamese banh mi joint. The price at about $8 a sandwich is not a bad. You can never go wrong with the Grilled Pork Banh Mi Sandwich if you're not too adventurous and really don't know what you'd like. They have powder-based boba drinks here as well (free on your birthday!). Someone who works there like Supreme since they put some decals in multiple places visible to customers.

The bahn mi here is delicious and packed with veggies! I ordered the traditional version, with vietnamese ham, liver pate, and roasted ground pork. The marinated meats, pate, and fresh veggies in the toasted baguette make for a perfectly balanced, quick lunch that will leave you perfectly satiated. I love how the menu has so many variations of the bahn mi and if you're feeling adventurous, you can swap out the baguette for a vermicelli bowl, or taco shell. Bonus: There are a few tables for outdoor dining so you can enjoy your meal in the fresh air.

Was craving a Banh Mi the other day and happened to come across this place. The staff was very friendly and answered the questions I had. The sandwiches were good but not the best I've had. I was expecting more for the price and the popularity this place has. Maybe I'll give it a try again another time!

Was craving for pho, but decided it was too hot and got the vermicelli salad with grilled chicken. The portion size was pretty filling and the chicken was perfectly seasoned. I also ordered the iced Vietnamese coffee, would not recommend. It's watered-down and tastes like it's trying to remember that it's supposed to be coffee. Definitely the weakest Vietnamese coffee I've had. Same goes with the bubble tea, my friend ordered the Thai Bubble Tea and it was not very sweet and watered down as well. The to-go menu is a little outdated as the actual prices are higher than listed. ;tldr good food, stay away from the drinks

The price on the paper menus in the restaurant said $9.25 and now $12.00 for my Short Rib Banhmi. I wish they would discard the old menus, the increase seems a bit steep, better not to know. Otherwise great food! Cashier could be a little less short with customers.

Banhmigos! A pun on bahn mi and amigos but there's nothing Mexican about the food. A quick lunch stop or delivery destination that's stolen my taste buds. Their traditional banh mi is made with Vietnamese ham and paté and it's delicious. It comes with a nice crisp bread that doesn't scratch the mouth and it's loaded with pickles carrots and Daikon that really adds the right amount of acid to each bite. Their spring rolls are a little heavy on the noodles but the duck and the shrimp options comes with a good amount of protein and enough peanut sauce to quadruple dip both rolls. The Thai ice tea is pretty standard. They only have four seats in the place and it's not the best atmosphere, but the food speaks for itself. I'll probably make this my premier spot when I want a quick grub hub meal.

Found this place on Yelp, since had an appointment nearby and wanted to find a place for a quick pick up option rather than dine-in. I believe I came here beginning of March before the pandemic and after ordered delivery. We ordered the following items: Shrimp Roll: Not the best, but it was decent, but they definitely need to work on the dipping sauce, since it tasted overly peanutty rather than traditional dip. Beef Short Ribs Banh Mi - Really good and love the bread here. Solid baguette. Nice and crisp and soft in the inside. Traditional Banh Mi - Didn't taste traditional to me, but I ordered this because I do love a banh mi with pate. I prefer the traditonal ones from Houston, Texas. Houston has great Vietnamese food, since that city ranks top 5 Vietnamese population. Short Rib Vermicelli - I thought this was great as well. Bubble Tea - got the Thai version and thought they cooked the bubbles well. Beef Pho - found the broth to be flavourful! I am a fan of this place for Vietnamese food.

I ordered food online to pick up for a group. When I got to the restaurant, I was charged more than what the receipt from earlier said. When I asked the cashier about it, she said that the prices online haven't been updated in a while, and there's a 5% fee to use a credit card. I understanding rising prices and credit card fees, but I do not understand not updating menu prices so you can have an accurate receipt total. I am not even sure if this is legal. My friend also found a piece of plastic in her sandwich.

I used to come here more frequently, but I find it difficult to get a consistent sandwich here. I always get "no cilantro" and "extra spicy", I've learned to eyeball the guy making the sandwich and inevitably after he makes it and they are about to hand it to me, I tell them I asked for no cilantro. They dig through the sandwich pulling out the cilantro (sometimes getting it all, sometimes not) and patch it together and hand it back to me. Same thing happened today, but on top of that, it wasn't spicy in the least and the meat was cold. When they're on top of their game it's a phenomenal sandwich, I just with they were more consistent.

Fantastic flavor, but small portions unless you order extra meat. But the food is just so damn good and they do typical rice or noodle boxes well. Their marinades and spiciness are all well done. I even put in an order at the wrong location and they fixed it for me and cooked my order real quick with no extra charge. Great people and food.

Lunch special is dishonest, don't expect the boba that you paid for. You will just get a regular line item. I purchased the shrimp salad lunch special with the boba tea through the restaurant website. When I arrived, the cashier claimed that I had purchased the regular Green salad and not the lunch special. When I pulled up the order and website to show her, I noticed the header was 'lunch special' and mentioned that it included the Boba Tea. However, the line item once selected just says 'Green Salad' the exact same as the non-lunch special 'Green Salad'. I showed this to the cashier and asked her how it is possible the lunch special line item didn't include boba if the option to 'add extra boba' was included for an extra fee. Cashier then told me that if I didn't write 'lunch special' and 'Boba' in the order's additional comments I couldn't expect the boba because they wouldn't know. I purchased the boba separately +5$ but I am not happy with the false advertising. This menu has been the same for a while now and I certainly cannot be the first customer to run into this issue. The cashier pretending to not know the glitch with the lunch special felt like gaslighting. I'd like a refund for the extra 5$ spent just getting the lunch special I originally paid for.

I've ever only gotten takeout from here, but the experience has been an acceptable one. The first time I got your traditional toasted banh mi with picked veges, pate, and Vietnamese cold cuts - it was great except the bread was not tasted in the way I have had it before. The baguette was a bit too soft and not crispy enough around the edges - you know you're biting into a good banh mi when half of your upper palate is scraped off. The second time I came, I got the lemongrass pork to go. The meat was good but the broth was meh. I was also expecting it to be larger - it was about 2/3rds the size of any other pho I've ever had./ I think for Park Slope this is a fine place to come for the price point and if you're in a rush, but it is definitely not the finest Vietnamese cuisine I've ever had.

Not good. They can't even be bothered to put a vegetable besides lettuce (cucumber? carrot? avocado?) in their tofu spring roll, and the tofu is and tastes like mush

This is one of my favorite banh mi spots. The sandwiches are consistently delicious and the service is reliable and efficient. I love the vermicelli salad with grilled pork and the summer rolls as well. Also works great as a place to pick up from for picnics!

Hate to be so negative but this is a place to avoid. The banh mi, vermicelli bowl, and bubble teas are all bland and overpriced. There are other neighborhood spots that are better, and definitely other spots in NYC worth traveling to.

The roast pork sandwich!!! Omg!! This is my first time here. I was in the neighborhood for a sample event that left me kinda hungry lol. So i walked past this place and made a mental note to stop in. I was not disappointed. The meat lays on the bottom of the French bread. It's moist, flavorful and perfect texture next to the bread. ( i clearly Watch too much food network, lol). The veggies are sweet, with a sauce that is delicious! It's hard to explain. Kinda like mayo, but not really ‍. This is a perfect sandwich. That's all.

Love their summer rolls, grilled chicken pho, and traditional banh mi sandwiches. So good

decent and affordable pho joint near park slope! don't really have any complaints for this place; food was great and service was fast. not a sit down restaurant

I love a great banh mi, so when I heard about this place, naturally I had to try it. I tried the summer rolls (both the shrimp and the smoked duck) and a traditional bahn mi. Both summer rolls were fantastic. The duck one was particularly interesting as you rarely see that in a summer roll around NYC. The peanut sauce was pretty good, but a lot more liquidy than typical. Not a bad thing to me, but if you have a preference for more solid peanut sauces you might not like it. The banh mi was decent. The ingredients themselves, both the pork and the vegetables, were flavorful and tasty. My one complaint was about the bread. It was overly crispy (I like some crisp to my baguette of course, but this was a lot) and they seemed to carve out the baguette more than most places do. It's a solid spot if you are in the area and craving a banh mi for sure, but there are better banh mi places out there if you are willing to travel.

DELICIOUS and quick banh mi gor takeout. The lady seemed super busy. We decided to eat at one of the three tables set up in the front. Bad IDEA unless u have mosquito repellent. It smelled like dog piss because I'm assuming some dog peed nearby on a leisure walk. So Take ur delicious banh mi away from the mosquitos and eat elsewhere!!! :)

Delicious! I ordered online, and the food was ready pretty quickly. This is my first time here and it did not disappoint! It was super fresh and very filling. I had to come back to it later on to finish my other half of the sandwich. We got the grilled chicken and shredded chicken banhmi. My friend never had banhmi before, and he's very picky. He absolutely loved it and is looking forward to getting food from here again. I've had banhmi before, and this was just as tasty and fresh as it usually is. Great meal for those who are trying to be healthy. Also, it's a very affordable meal especially for being in Park Slope. Will be back again!

Here's three pieces of advice: 1. Get Da Jay. It's the grilled pork banh mi, and it's the best of the three different sandwiches that I've tried here. Although, I've never really been sad about any of them. 2. Don't get delivery if you can help it. It's quick and reliable, but the food definitely loses a little something on the way. All food really does. 3. Don't go anywhere near this joint from 3-4 pm. In fact, stay away from the Slope altogether anytime school is letting out. Because strangling annoying middle schoolers is seriously frowned upon unless you're also a middle schooler, and even then I'm pretty sure it's not OK.

This is a solid banh mi spot. The bread is crusty and toasty, sweet and tangy pickled daikon and carrot, well seasoned meats. Totally recommend if you're in the area and looking to get your fix. The spicy isn't that spicy, so if you want extra spice add some sriracha. I've only had the Traditional that comes with a good smear of pate, pork, and Vietnamese ham. So good and so flavorful. Get extra meat, trust me you'll thank me later. Prices are a bit steep but it makes sense given the area. Boyfriend had the short rib and felt it was a bit under seasoned but still enjoyable overall. He ate some of my sandwich and said mine was definitely superior and ended up eating a quarter of mine. Next time in the area I know I can count on this spot for a good banh mi.

Solid, solid bahn mi place and quite a happy, surprising find in the middle of suburban Park Slope! Sandwiches ranging from $8-9 served up on delicious bahn mi bread. For a lighter/healthier meat option, I recommend the shredded chicken white is white meat (as opposed to grilled chicken which has dark meat and more sauce). Friendly and fast service. A great spot for take out Vietnamese sandwiches (very limited counter seating).

LOL @ all the people who think the food here is phenomenal, classic, and traditional --- Sandwiches here are definitely not banh mis. It would be more accurate to say that they are Vietnamese-inspired sandwiches.* Examples: -The bread used is not "freshly baked French baguettes" - more like thin Italian rolls. -Too much pickled carrot/daikon. Usually, the highlights of a banh mi are the french baguette and meat. The pickled vegetables are meant to be garnish. -Sriracha is used to make it spicy. A proper banh mi has slices of jalapeno. -The Traditional Banh Mi has one small, thin slice of ham and lots of ground pork. There is *no* ground pork in a traditional banh mi. Now, this wouldn't bother me as much if the menu weren't so misleading. It emphasizes tradition, Vietnamese ham, and liver pate, none of which really exist in this sandwich. It should just be called "ground pork in an italian roll". The spring rolls, likewise, suck. The rice paper is dipped in warm water for too long, so it doesn't hold ingredients well. (The ingredients in the spring roll also do not taste good.) The milk tea tastes like milk-flavored water. Despite the shortcomings, the tapioca pearls are excellent, and are consistently good. Those pearls taste like they were made within the last 1-2 hours at all times of the day. The fruit tea boba drinks are the only thing that's good here. --- * I can say this because of my cultural background. And I grew up in a town so Vietnamese that, as a kid, I thought Vietnamese people were 90% of the US population. Which is all to say, I was born with Vietnamese food in my blood. ** The workers here all speak Cantonese, so the food may be an HK-interpretation of Vietnamese food. They are also polite and nice. In any case, the interpretation of VN food is pretty bad here.

Gee I'd love to rate the food, but this place simply ratcheted up the delivery time till the outside estimate was over 2 hours after ordering! THEN they cancelled the order, but only after I called the delivery service. It would have been nice if they didn't take orders they can't fulfill. It occurs to me as dishonesty, I won't order from them again.

Sigh... it's 2019 and yet here we are. When I ordered my food and got my change she put it on the counter. Everyone else that ordered - that wasn't as dark as me - she put their change in their hand. Lesson heard loud and clear. Won't be returning ever again. Also these aren't even real Bahn Mi. There a close substitute - I lived in SF for a while so I would know.

My boyfriend's kids go to school across the street and I was HANGRY when we picked them up. He stepped in to get me a little bahn mi and a few summer rolls... I was SHOCKED by how delicious everything was. The baguette was impossibly light, hot and crisp from the oven and there was generous mayo and pate. Perfection. Can't wait to come back and get more stuff.

What happened to this joint?!?!? They use to stuff the heck out of their banh mi's with vegetables and now they don't..why!?!? I came here just for that. I had the portabella mushroom that was oven glazed with extra virgin olive oil, Tofu and Veggie chicken banh mi's. They were all good and flavorful but I was just too disappointed with the amount of veggies. The bread was very crispy to my liking and I can't get over the amount of veggies they put in it! The Vietnamese coffee was too sweet.

Was in the area and stopped by. Its kind of off the main path and is a more of a neighbor hoody type of a spot. I got their Banhmi (7.75) with the Grilled Chicken, Kept it mild and also included a Match bubble tea (4.50). I would say for the area, its not super expensive like dekalb market but its not super cheap eats either. Their bubble tea isn't bad they have a nice selection, I liked that it wasn't crazy sweet and its brewed fresh for you. The Grilled chicken had a bunch of carrots, cucumbers with a mayo type based sauce. The chicken wasn't dry and had sweet bbq marinate. I would say overall they do the highlight was the bread, it was crunchy outside and fluffy inside. It held everything together and was able to absorb any sauce of juice. Overall if you're looking for a quick sandwich in the neighborhood it's the place to check out. There's also limited sitting so it's kind of a grab and go place.

Walked in and cashier was rude and very unfriendly. Bahnmi pork was yummy and the food spring rolls were mid. Not rlly anywhere to sit expect outside though because it's so small inside. Unpleasant ambiance and experience. 5 stars for food. 1 star for service .

I stopped in here for a quick bite to eat and drink before I headed to a yelp event close by in the nabe. Parking is crazy to find so I parked illegally (shhh) and ran in and placed my order and ran back out and waited near my car. I waited about 10 minutes, there were a few people inside the tiny restaurant but they looked like they had a lot of take out orders. I ordered the roast pork (da jay) sandwich and it was delicious. All of the ingredients and flavors in the sandwich blended wonderful and it was very tasteful with a hint of spiciness since I ordered medium spicy. I didn't like the crunchiness of the bread and should've told them not to toast the bread. The main thing that ticked me off about my (da jay) was how small it was in comparison to other Bahn mi's I've had in the past. That sandwich was way too good to be that small. I was still hungry after I ate my lil Bahn mi. However, the taste was soo good I will definitely return to check out some other items on the menu. My lychee bubble tea was on point and hit the spot. This sandwich came very close to my favorite Vietnamese spot in Queens, "JoJu."

My go-to place for summer rolls or banh mi! Now living in Upper East Side, I realized how much I missed this place! This was one of my favorite go-tos in Park Slope, and my quick stop right before traveling to the airport. I loved the quality/quantity of this food for its price. I loved their duck spring rolls, and for the price of $5 it was such a good deal. Their banh mi sandwiches are also great, with nice crispy bread. Highly recommend as a quick grab and go place! Great quality, and friendly staff as well.

I shared the shrimp summer roll and short rib vermicelli bowl with my girlfriend. The summer rolls were good and they came with an addictively good peanut sauce. I would recommend the vermicelli bowl. It paired well with the rice vinegrette and Sriracha sauce. I'm eager to return and try either their bahn mis or Vietnamese tacos.

I've been ordering from this place for the past 4 yrs at least twice a week. I seriously believe this place should WIN some kind of reward for their Beef Pho. The beef broth goes so well with the rice noodles and the garnishes compliment the beef. They're never late , only early on their deliveries. Amazing place and very kind staff!

The food here is just top notch. It's about a 15 minute walk from where I am and always worth picking up in person--the baguette is so crispy and whatever you get the ingredients are always fresh and expertly prepared. New fav is the smoked duck roll-let's be real-the rolls are a vehicle for the peanut sauce which I could drink straight from a bowl. The vermicelli is always al dente and not mushy and the saltiness of the smoked duck complements the peanut sauce perfectly. Consistently delicious. No matter what's ordered. I just wish I lived closer.

We were in the area and since Manhattan is severely lacking in good fast causal bahn mi's, we decided to grab lunch here. Extremely tiny place with a few seats along the window, mostly a take out place/delivery. They also serve pho and some appetizers as well. A good selection of drinks. Unfortunately, we had to run some errands and couldn't enjoy our sandwiches until later. Even then, it was still delicious. Crunchy bread, delicious, flavorful filling and amazing pickled veggies.

This is probably the only banh mi (Vietnamese Sandwich) place I will think about when I want a vietnamese sandwich. I've been to other banh mi places in Brooklyn and in the city, and they've either been too pricey, or too poorly made - this place is both reasonably priced, and very well made. Banhmigo's is a hole-in-the-wall 4-seat eatery at the corner of 7th Avenue and Lincoln Place at Park Slope. Easily walkable from 7th Avenue Station, and perfect for pick-ups. Banh Mi consists of a single baguette filled with savory or sour ingredients, including beef, chicken or pork. Banh mi has that certain quality of cutting your gums from the toasted French bread, but that's common with all French breads isn't it? Spring Rolls are also a staple of the lunch-on-the-go foods on offer for the place. Shrimp Spring rolls are the common winner but the Duck Spring Rolls are the item I pick on a regular basis - I'm unaware of any other places that have this. Peanut sauce and Stiracha on the side, you'll be in heaven. These 'street foods' as some might call them, are truly the box lunches you want to get on your way to work. Made to order, cheap to buy, and oh so great to share with your friends on the corner. I for one, am a regular.

I'm a bit surprised to see all of the raving reviews about the banh mis and bubble tea here. The food is proof that this is not an authentic Vietnamese operation and is only an imitation of one at best. We got grilled chicken and braised short rib banh mis and a Thai bubble tea. The banh mis were both lacking in meat and had a ton of shredded carrots and pickled daikon to make up for the missing meat. Every time I would take a bite of my sandwich, my teeth would get stuck on a thick, dry cilantro stem. A traditional banh mi would have cilantro more than its stem to give the sandwich a nice sour kick. The stem just doesn't cut it. The short ribs were mostly fat and the non-fatty parts were not very tender, therefore not having the full braised texture. The grilled chicken was marinated just fine but was extremely dry. Neither of the banh mis contained any jalapeños or chilis, which contributed to the lack of flavor. The bread was not a French baguette but instead an Italian hoagie roll, which again is why this banh mi cannot possibly be seen as the real deal. The Thai bubble tea was awful. First off, it had no sugar or condensed milk. This could have been okay if we asked for no sugar, but their original recipe seems to not call for either of those essential ingredients. The bobas were extremely mushy, which means that they were overcooked to the point they were blending with the flavor of tea. At times, I would swallow a boba without even tasting or chewing it! I was excited to try this place, but won't be coming back. Within a 15 minute distance, there are other banh mi spots that stay true to the ingredients of their dishes.
