The Best Banh Mi in Atlanta | Eater Atlanta

"A relative newcomer to Buford Highway, the name says it all as to what’s serve on the menu here. Be Banh Mi offers its sandwiches in three sizes: regular baguette: the snack-size bread stick; and the challenger (a super-sized version.) Choose from meats and other proteins like glazed chicken, Vietnamese pork sausage, and black bean tofu and pair your bánh mì with a Vietnamese iced coffee." - Beth McKibben

Wow, I don't know if maybe I just haven't had a fresh banh mi in a while or if this place is just that good! I usually go with the classic and it definitely hit the spot. I went with the regular bread vs the "breadstick" because it was my first time so I wanted to get a good baseline and man... it was so light and crispy and warm and was a great balance in the bread:filling ratio - I actually think they bake the bread in-house because I spotted one of them bringing in more bread on the actual baking tray with the bread shapes. Also got an iced milk coffee which was wonderfully strong and just the right amount of sweetness for me! And the shop was very cute and clean and had fun music playing, too. At a little over $6 a sandwich, I'm definitely gonna be ordering in bulk for my family next time.

The classic Dac Biet is my go to bread, always fresh, soft, and full of flavor. You can really taste the quality in every bite. Definitely a must-try if you love good, simple bread done right!"

The grilled pork number 2 bahn mi was really good. It came out within 5 minutes. Definitely recommend.

My sister introduced me to this place and I’ve been hooked since! I can’t go here without ordering 10+ sandwiches lol. I always order the bbq pork and classic banh mi stick sandwiches. The bread is so fresh and the meat so juicy and tender. I was definitely blown away at the first bite. Honestly looks like a basic banh mi sandwich on first impression but tastes amazing! Now that she’s got me hooked on it. I’ve been sharing the love and got others hooked on it as well!

I got the classic bánh mì on regular bread. The bread was crunchy and fresh, stuffed to the brim with delicious fillings. I particularly enjoyed the addition of the pork floss and the plentiful jalapeño for a spicy kick. The service was friendly and helpful and the café itself had a laid back atmosphere. This bánh mì is perhaps $2 more than some others in the area, but the price point is fair for the plentiful fresh and flavorful fillings.

They have the BEST banh mi in town. I always come by every time i’m in town. Love this place. Pricier than most places but their portion size is worth it.

My go-to banh mi spot! It's a simple small Vietnamese restaurant specializing in banh mi with a small selection of drinks. I would describe this place as "modern" Vietnamese because although they make banh mi, their options are a little more modern. I always get the Dac biet and the thit nuong. I highly recommend either one, they're both delicious and almost 99% of banh mi shop offers these so easy to compare across the board. The Dac Biet here is definitely different than most banh mi shops and you either love it or don't. They do offer different bread options, the regular or sticks, which I thought was cool because it's usually one or the other. I do wish they spread all their toppings a little better to ensure I get a bit of everything with each bite. They're pricier than their competitors. Sad to say they ran out of thit nuong today so I only got the Dac biet

Bánh mi is good but customer service is the worst. The worker would literally keep the phone on call so you can't call them and sometime they would even unhook the phone line. I called them out about it all the time and they don't seem to care lol. Need new workers that actually care and maybe I would give this place a 5 star review.

The food here is just okay. I'm not a super big fan of the type of bread they use here. The salted coffee is fantastic though. Not a lot of Vietnamese places in the United States have salted iced coffee even though it's super popular in Vietnam. The service is sometimes good and sometimes bad. It just depends on the day and how busy they are. Not a place you could sit and eat at so I usually just get a coffee to go.

Sandwiches are delicious. I got the KBBQ Bulgolgi banh mi, and it was packed with veggies and a homemade pate and egg-whipped butter that is to die for. Each sandwich is about $7-8 without tip, and I would splurge occasionally to obtain a "fusion dish" between different cultures of this sandwich. There are other shops, though, that make a traditional banh mi better and are just as flavorful for a third of the price here. Service was subpar. The guy who took my order November 22 around 10:30 am seemed less than enthused to take my order. He also kept asking me if I was done ordering after each item I ordered. When I asked for the salted iced coffee, he coldly replied that there wasn't any. My cousin and I sat down while our sandwiches were being made and ate at the venue. It is a small sandwich shop with enough chairs and tables for a few small parties to fit in. I felt very unwelcomed and slightly unnerved as both of the employees loomed by our table and watched us eat. This unfortunately makes me reduce the quality of this review down a star. If I were to visit this establishment again, I would prefer to go to the Duluth one and see how service is there.

While it's not as cheap as our usual go to banh mi place, I'm glad that we stopped by and tried it out! Order at the counter & they make the sandwich on the spot for you. There's some seating available if you wanted to stay with some condiments at the front counter for you to use like sriracha. We got the grilled pork banh mi for ~$6 and it came pretty loaded with the pork which was nice. Their pate and butter were excellent, really enjoyed how buttery the sandwich was personally but I know some people would prefer just a hint of it. Overall, felt like an "elevated" (not sure what other word to use" version of banh mi in terms of the slightly higher price and quality of ingredients. Would come again!

Got the classic and a pate snack, it was excellent. Sarah T description is spot on. I will be back to try the pork.

***FOOD: craving a banh mi. unfortunately they were out of their stick bread but still ordered their regular original (combo meat) bahn mi #1 and the grilled pork #2. All meats and veggies were so fresh. Was really good. We didn't expect them to be so big. Would have preferred the stick bread because the bun was difficult to eat. They were too big. The BREAD was crispy and delicious. The filling was good especially the marinated pork. ***COST (OUT OF 4$) $$ very reasonable for the sandwiches $7. Good deal since they were so big and filling. Had to take half home for dinner. ***DÉCOR: industrial, bare with basic small tables and bench and a few chairs. Need to clean the tables as they were sticky and bread crumbs all over the floor from the delicious and flakey bread. Need a larger garbage can by the door. In the strip mall on the other end where Great Wall Sweet Hut are located. ***SERVICE: order at counter, called us to pick up sandwiches when they were finished. Not necessarily any service nor a lot of friendly chitchat ***RECOMMEND: would RECOMMEND since the sandwiches were very tasty and cheap.

Absolutely. The best Bahn Mi sandwich that I have EVER had in my life. We got the grilled pork original size. The bread was crispy and very authentic and was out of this world! Don't forget to try the house sauce.

This isn't a place I would really sit down and eat. It's a small space. The food is amazing though. I've ordered take out here about 10 times already. The service is quick and the staff is communicative. I've tried every banh mi on the menu and I haven't been disappointed. My favorites are the classic and the tofu! I get everything on in. I love the options of the different types of bread. I enjoy the ratio of the skinny bread because it's the perfect portion with the toppings. One of my favorite banh mi places!!! See you next week!

Y U M M Y! Be Banh Mi is excellent. I think this place trumps Quoc Huong in my book. Contemporary, excellent service, and much cleaner. The prices here are a tad higher than its competitor; however, the banh mi wrapping and clear labels make a huge difference. * Grilled Pork Banh Mi ($5.39/regular): My go-to order. Their pork is very flavorful. The banh mi itself is significant. The workers here don't skimp out on the proteins, which is a huge plus! Tip: Ask for veggies on the side if you're not eating the sandwiches immediately. Overall, the banh mi is super tasty. My new go-to spot now. Service and quick and staff are very friendly here. Love it!

I ate here for lunch today and was pleasantly surprised. The banh mi was bigger than I was expecting. The bread was great, exactly what you want. The kind that will get all over your car if you aren't careful. I thought the bbq pork banh mi was delicious and the girl who took my order and made my food was very nice and made a great sandwich! The sauces were very good too. Be Banh Mi exceeded my expectations and I can't wait to try more of their menu!

Great banh Mi, fantastic price, quick service. What more can you ask for? This is definitely the best banh mi spot in Atlanta and I've had banh mi from all the popular spots like lees bakery, quoc huong, ect. I always get the grilled pork banh mi here. The crispy bread on the outside and soft on the inside along with generous amount of delicious grill pork for $5.89 (as of 7/4/23) is hard to beat! If you ever want a delicious banh mi, this is the spot. Side note: I also ordered sugar cane drink but it's just ok. Wouldn't get it again.

The banh mi was good: the classic. It was a pretty sizable sandwich with good breading. That's already half the battle. The inner fillings were really good, especially with the pate. The dried pork shreds were interesting imo. There was a good portion of the fillings so I was happy. The hubs said this was pretty comparable to the ones we had in Vietnam. And then a friend chimed in and said that the owner studied under someone who specialized in banh mi and cultivated what he learned into the business. The ice milk coffee was good, but there was way too much ice. The friend also pointed out that half a coffee was an improvement than the 1/3 when this place first opened. Heard the pork is particularly the thing to get here. I usually go for the classic, and it did not disappoint. The hubs got the said pork, and he seemed to have liked it. Side note: You will have a bunch of Vietnamese eyes glare at you as if you're disrupting their computer time to take an order. In this Omicron environment, we weren't even sure if we were welcomed to dine in...

Service people aren't not nice anymore. So arrogant because they have many customers now. Bad experience las time, I called order bánh mì, whoever pick up the phone is so impolite to customer. I came to pick up and woman said why do you come to early? I told you have to come about 30minutes. Look the way she said that to their customers, very rude. Never come back again.

The customer service is great, it's a small cafe like Bahnmi shop that has a different take on the Vietnamese sandwich. They also have boba and Thai milk tea. The ambiance is fresh and minimalistic. They're fast paced and offer Togo. They're located inside the plaza and cannot be seen from regular traffic. They have ample of parking spots. Vegan/vegetarian options are limited. Ample of meat options and bread if your choice. Their packaging is cute and sustainable, sauces are offered on side and can be packed at customers liking. Kudos to the staff and management!

Came from out of town to try this banh mi because my aunt's boss said it was really good. She wasn't wrong and I was not disappointed. Walking in we were greeted by the workers and got to looking around at the menu. They are known for having "stick" banh mi which is like a baguette that's skinner and more long. I don't know what it is, but I think that contributes to its texture which I really like. It's crunchy/crispy on the outside with less filling on the inside, but there's still some softness and chew. I think it's the perfect balance. We ordered the number 1 stick (the classic/ dac biet) number 2 (grilled pork/thit nuong) stick and regular and number 3 (teriyaki chicken/ ga sot nhat) stick. All veggies on the side because we were visiting from out of town and wanted to keep the bread as fresh as possible. I honestly enjoyed all of them. The meats were well seasoned and flavorful. Pickled veggies added nice acidity and fresh crunch. Mixed with the stick bread, it was a perfect match. It is smaller than your average bread so I could easily eat two if I am hungry. It's also pretty pricey. $20 for 3 stick bread and one regular. Only downside is, I wish I ordered more to take home. It's really good. Workers were nice and worked quickly. Restaurant was clean inside and they had tables for you to sit and eat inside if you wanted to. All in all, I'd love to come back if I were visiting in town again.

Delicious! So much flavor! I'm from California and miss having bahn mi spots all over. I live in kennesaw now, so there's not many around. I was in the area for work and made a point to find a good bahn mi. Many spots to choose from. I saw this spot, read reviews, saw the menu options, pictures, and went for it. It's a bit pricier than some other spots (about $6), but worth it. Better quality meats, it seems. More options. I got the chicken one. So good! It hit the spot!!!

We ordered a couple Banh Mi to go yesterday with vegetables separate. Two classics and 1 grilled pork. When I opened up my Banh Mi to add my veggies in I found pieces of what is assumed to be from a metal scrubber or confetti. Either way it is NOT meant to be in the sandwich. Extremely disappointed and please be careful with the food you order. We've eaten from a lot of Banh Mi shops from chains to mom & pop shops. First time I've ever found something dangerous. What do y'all think it is?

Glad to see a new Bahn Mi spot in the neighborhood. The Good The BBQ pork in the sandwich was tasty Bread was fresh and crusty The Bad This sandwich was dry, desperately needed something fatty like butter and mayo - it would've made a huge difference. The ice coffee was delicious. The creaminess and sweetness was perfect - my only complaint is it was mostly Ice. The prices are very affordable. I think with a few small tweaks this place could be a hit.

This is my favorite Banh mi in Georgia. Although it is quite pricey for Banh mi's, but it's still worth it I guess. I wish they have buy5get1 deal like most other Vietnamese Banh mi places. I like the Banh mi sticks, it's small but long and I can easily finish it. Most adults I know can easily eat two with one sitting. My nieces and nephew loved it so much they had to come back for more the next day! Parking is open space and it's free. They closed at 7pm, so you just have to come early for it!

This was a toss up...food quality and bread freshness was solid and probably deserves a 4z What bumped them down to 3 stars is that one of their sandwich options(pork meatballs)isn't even available any longer but they haven't bothered taken it down. The other pork sandwich they were out of pork entirely. No signs, no heads up....they just let you order and then tell you afterward. I liked the slim baguette options so the bread to guts ratio was evenly split. Veggies were fresh, meat for the classic was tasty. I could pass on the Teriyaki chicken one I got. It wasn't bad but it didn't taste any different then food chain pre made chicken from a bag that was dumped in a sauce.

R and I both wanted to get a grilled pork banh mi sandwich. We found out that Be Banh Mi was a (relatively) new Vietnamese sandwich shop, so we came here to get a grilled pork banh mi. There were three other customers waiting for their food when we arrived. Parking was plentiful, since Be Banh Mi is in a small two story strip mall with a decently sized free parking lot that all of the businesses share. There is a sign at the entrance telling the customers that the indoor dining area is currently closed. All the employees and customers wore face masks. When we ordered the grilled pork banh mi sandwiches, the employee at the order counter apologized and told us that they were out of grilled pork and the pork meatballs. So this meant that they could make only 4 types of banh mi sandwiches. Wow! And it was only 1:30 pm on a Monday afternoon! Again, we wanted to get grilled pork banh mi sandwiches, so we left empty handed and went to a different restaurant on Buford Highway to get them.

I wanted to try this place because of it's four star rating, was very disappointed! It's basically a"Teeny bopper "hang out. When I stepped up to order the girl looked at me decided she didn't wanna wait on me and went to go get another server. I asked why she did that ? She did not reply and the guy just shook his head since "I don't know". Very rude! The two times I've been there I never got to order what I wanted to try because they were always running out of grilled pork and meatball. Even when it's 2 to 3 hours before closing! The fact that they have a temporary menu must say it all! They don't expect to be there long LOL!

Be banh mi has some of the best banh mi I've had in a while. The place is clean and modern, and I liked the V-Pop music they had playing. I came early for a quick breakfast and ordered the classic banh mi. It had a good amount of meat (5 different kinds) and veggies, and the price was good too. Every bite was so delicious and flavorful. Needless to say, I devoured my sandwich very quickly.

We love Be Banh mi! Everytime we are in town we order about 50 to take home! The pate and butter is the best!! The pate doesn't have a strong smell to it like most Banh mi spots in town. I love you can pick your bread. The French baguette and sticks are both good! Get a mixture next time u are there. My kids love their snack sticks. We always get the combo and the bbq . I'm

This place was close by my job so came by to give it a try. The banh mi flavor was actually really good but there was a lot of cilantro stems. Almost like a cilantro stem banh mi lol. But honestly I would come back again! I also got their iced milk coffee which was really delish! I ordered the be grilled pork ( number 2 on the menu )

The number one question I get asked about Be Banh Mi is: "How does it compare to Quoc Huong and Lee's Bakery?" As of right now, my short answer is it's not as good, *but* it's still good and worth checking out. So come try this place and see for yourself. Be Banh Mi is still fairly new. It opened July 1, 2020. At the time of writing this review, their Facebook page still shows the business in soft open mode. During our visit, the menu was limited and said, "Temporary" and "More Coming Soon." Quoc Huong and Lee's Bakery have operated as well-oiled cash cows for many years now. Be Banh Mi is still trying to get on its feet and find its bearings. I am a fan of this place, but Atlanta has several good banh mi shops I'd currently put in front. In order, they'd be Huy's Sandwich in Norcross (my favorite), Lee's Bakery and Quoc Huong (these two are always jockeying for position in my book), and Viet Tofu. All of these places make a yummy banh mi and at the end of the day, it comes down to personal preference on certain subtleties. Compared to the aforementioned competition which are no-frills, Be Banh Mi breaks the mold by looking more updated and hip. It kind of looks like an American fast-casual chain restaurant, almost like Which Wich with its modern storefront sign, graphics, and branding. The color scheme is yellow, white, and black. The look is consistent, from the wall art to the furniture to the employee's uniforms (bright yellow T-shirts and black hats, both logoed) to the content on their Instagram page (@bebanhmi2020). It may look like a chain, but I don't believe it is, at least not yet. You can find Be Banh Mi in the same two-story strip as Tea House Formosa and Yen Jing Chinese Restaurant (it's sandwiched between, no pun intended) on Buford Highway. There's ample parking. Like other banh mi shops, this place is small and more of a takeout joint. Inside, there's bench seating along the wall with four small two-tops, each with a chair opposite (four chairs total) plus four stools next to the counter against the storefront windows. That works out to a comfortable seating capacity of 12 people though you can squeeze more folks in on the bench. There is no outdoor seating. During my visit around 1:30 PM over the weekend, it was a zoo. I ordered five sandwiches and was told there would be a 30-minute wait. I placed my order, left and came back, and numerous brown bags were packed with orders like mine ready for pickup. Business has been good for Be Banh Mi. My friends have experienced similar wait times, so keep that in mind. They had a small army working feverishly during my visit too. I tried four of the six sandwiches offered, all regular size: #1. The Classic (Dac Biet, $5.46) - Vietnamese pork sausage, jambon (ham), cured pork, char siu, pate, and pork floss #2. BE Grill Pork (Thit Nuong, $5.39) - house special marinade grill pork (same thing as char siu above) #4. Glazed Chicken (Ga Chien Nuoc Mam, $5.36) - fish sauce glazed chicken #5. Pork Meatball (Xiu Mai, $5.27) - pork meatball, roasted; peanut, Vietnamese coriander (rau ram) The two sandwiches I didn't try were the #3 Teriyaki Chicken and the #6 Black Bean Tofu (vegetarian option). All of Be Banh Mi's sandwiches come with egg butter, shredded pickled daikon and carrot, cucumber, cilantro, scallion, and "sauce." In addition to regular size, Be Banh Mi offers a smaller, cheaper "stick" size (about $4), and a big "challenger" size (not available yet). Overall, all of the sandwiches were delicious. We gobbled everything up. In general, the ingredients were fresh and good quality. That included the bread, meat, and veggies. The taste was more sweet than the savory I'm used to. While the sandwiches were filling and satisfying, they were lacking in meat. I did appreciate all the veggies, though. The staff could have been more careful when assembling the sandwiches (more on that below). I doubled up on the #1 Classic because Dac Biet is my favorite kind of banh mi. It's basically a "special combination" banh mi or a banh mi with "everything" and I recommend it. I prefer it over the simpler #2 BE Grill Pork because it comes with more meats. The pate in Be Banh Mi's Dac Biet wasn't evenly distributed in the sandwiches I ordered so there wasn't pate in every bite. While not a big deal, it's little things like that that can be improved upon. The #4 Glazed Chicken was surprisingly tasty. The way they served the chicken was not what I expected. The chicken was cut into small pieces and it tasted like it was fried with a batter on it. The meat was soft, tender, moist, and flavorful. I'd order it again. As for the #5 Pork Meatball, it was good too. The meatball was more like a smashed meatball. Like the chicken, it was soft, tender, and moist, but more mild in flavor. The Vietnamese coriander they use in the meatball sandwich is the same herb used in Vietnamese springs rolls and certain soups. It adds a pleasant aromatic to the sandwich.

Be Banh Mi is the new kid on a very competitive sandwich block. I think Be Banh Mi has a few great things going for them that could help drive their success: 1) the Banh Mi King, Quoc Huong, located just a mile down the road, is temporarily closed 2) modern selections 3) low overhead My visit to Be Banh Mi was on their opening weekend. I found out about the this place probably just like everyone else, on social media. I did not have success with calling in an order so decided to walk in and wait. I was excited about their grand opening special so decided to buy 6 sandwiches and share with friends and family. I visited early in the morning, around 10am, and although I wanted to try both chicken options, they did not have chicken available, so I was only down to two options: classic and grilled pork. I see that they've since updated their menu to include a fifth option, pork meatball. I decided to try both the regular and stick size banh mi, if only with two variations of sandwiches. The first thing you'll probably notice is the price of the sandwiches - around $4 for a stick and close to $5.50 for a regular banh mi. Down the Buford Highway corridor where the Kings of banh mi live, you can enjoy a regular sized banh mi for around half the price and most run specials where if you purchase 5 sandwiches, they'll give you a complimentary 6th sandwich. From a price standpoint, Be Banh Mi went in very ambitiously. Let's talk about the sandwiches themselves. They're very, very delicious! Ingredients were fresh, vegetables were crunchy, bread was tasty. Both variety of sandwich I've tried were packed with flavor from the meat and the additional sauces. The sandwiches are compact and stuffed. Overall, this is a very good sandwich. Although I haven't been back to Be Banh Mi, I see many compliments on their sandwiches. I look forward to my next visit!

Since Quoc Huong has been closed since March, I was surprised to hear of another banh mi place opening. Be is located in the same plaza as Tea House Formosa, close to El Rey. Plenty of parking, limited to only customers. Banh mi comes in two sizes for now. Stick and regular. Stick is reminiscent of how the west coast would do their banh mi. We opted for the classic Dac Biet and Thit Nuong, which is the grilled pork. They also have sugarcane and coffee for beverages. If dining in-house, they'll toast it. Banh mi was flaky and soft. Dac biet comes with pork floss, which I haven't seen in Atlanta as of yet. They were delicious! Def try their house sauces. 4 stars for 'I'm a Fan'. Excited for this place to be a BuHi staple.

Modern take on banh mi. Be Banh Mi is located next to Tea Formosa in Koreatown Plaza on Buford Hwy. Very simple menu with different bread size and meat. We tried both the regular and stick size today. Stick size took us by surprise as it is literally a size of a fat cuban cigar. Surprisingly, the proportion of bread to the meat/filling actually works and was actually good but at the same time, the size can be debatable that i do think they should have the sizing on display. For filling, we tried both the classic and the teriyaki chicken. We definitely preferred the classic over the latter. Overall, will try again. Also, did notice people usually put in huge orders and will be waiting longer than expected.

BE Banh mi is located in the same plaza as Tea House Formosa. From what I know, they are still brand new with lots of other menu items saying coming soon. I visit them on a Wednesday night and they were somewhat busy. I saw they have two current banh mi's size, regular and skinny. The skinny is similar to Jimmy John's "Little John". I ordered two skinny, one number 1 (Dac Biet) and one number 5 (xiu mai). Both was delicious! The dac biet have pork floss, which is unique since a lot of other banh mi's place don't add this to theirs. The sauce in the dac biet is also really good. I highly recommend! The xiu Mai was soft and flavorful. I also recommend this sandwich. To end, I also got a sugar cane drink. Yummy, sweet and refreshing. Overall, I'm definitely coming back to try other flavors and kinda want to see the other size, challenger, would be how big compared to the other two bread size. PS. Their phone number doesn't work so you can't call in and order. You'll just have to come in!

I am super impressed and in love with this spot. Yes its not your mom and pop restaurant you are familiar worth it, yes its "pricier" than the place down the road. HOWEVER, quality? WORTH EVERY PENNY. I had the regular classic banh mi, which found to be a lot bigger than what I would consider a regular sized banh mi. I'm not sure who prepared it, but there was extra cilantro and boyyy was I in heaven. I am happy to have found them on Buford Hwy and wish them much success!

We came in around lunch time on a Saturday and ordered 2 bahn mis: the #1 traditional with pork floss and #2 with roast pork. The sandwiches were very reasonably priced ($6) and prepared the sandwiches instantly. The bread was pretty crispy and the veggies were fresh. It would be even better with some broth to dip in!

I finally got to try Be Banh Mi and glad I did. I will definitely be back. The interior is bright and inviting. We tried the stick teriyaki chicken and the regular pork bahnmi. So first, I need to give a big shoutout to the baguette they make here. It is so damn good. Seriously. I hope it's true that they make their own bread because it's legit. I'm super picky on my bread and I'm not normally a fan of sandwiches or subs but golly... Be Banhmi's bread is fresh, tasty, and just the perfect texture with each bite. All bahnmis are made to order so be patient. They give a generous protein filling in the regular bahnmi which I appreciated. I found the veggies and pickled veggies they use to be fresh and good. I wish I had more of the veggies. The stick bahnmi worked. There's not much protein filling in it but I guess that's understandable considering how small the baguette is for that one. I've never seen a baguette that thin/small. Sort of reminded me of a thick breadstick. I also tried their iced Vietnamese coffee and it was legit. It had a bit too much ice for me but it had a really good flavor. I would definitely order this drink again. I can't wait to go back for my next visit. I want to try some of the other sandwiches they offer. Just a FYI I don't think they have a dipping sauce available but ask for some sriracha to have with your bahnmi. Definitely check out this place. It's next to Yen Jing.

The location is a bit secluded, but it is so worth it. We usually go to another Vietnamese place down the street, but we tried this place and it is the best bahn mi I have had especially the "stick". The stick is a bit smaller than the regular size, but the ratio of meat to bread is perfect. You also get every single topping within one bite. But if you still want to stick with the regular size, it is still very very good! I love the classic version and the added pork floss! Next time you can grab a stick as a snack or to a picnic! They are very reasonably priced too!

Small banh mi restaurant loaded on Buford Hwy. It can be easy to miss since it is located in a 2 story shopping center amongst various other restaurants. When we went, the staff seemed in the middle of lunch so it felt like we caught them at a wrong time. Most of the staff is very young but one greeted us and 2 came to the counter to help. The menu is somewhat limited, at the time, it only allowed for takeout and you cannot enter without a mask but they will give you one at no charge. The place is also small but has a younger crowd modern feel in comparison to other sandwich shops I've been to. I feel bad not knowing the name but they have their normal size sandwiches and these small, slim baguette sandwiches which are great if you don't want a full size. I ordered the tofu and pork one and to be honest, the pork was not my favorite. It was hard and salty but the tofu one was heavenly. My friend was not a fan at all and felt the bread was too hard. My brother stated they were just ok and he preferred the OG's in banh mi's . I didn't hate it, I would definitely return for the tofu.

Bình thường, tôi không phê bình ai cả nhưng hôm nay thì phải nói để chủ tiệm có thể coi lại và làm tốt hơn. Vô mua bánh mì thịt nướng, mình kêu cho thêm Pate thì 3 người nhân viên đều khăng khăng không làm được, bánh mì thịt nướng không có Pate, và cũng không thể bỏ vô thêm. Bánh mì khách thêm hay bớt gì đều có thể làm được, tại sao lại không? Cần tính thêm tiền, nếu khách chịu trả thì vẩn có thể làm. Nhân viên chậm chạp, không năng động sẽ làm cho tiệm mang tiếng.

We went close to closing so maybe that's why we weren't super impressed with the service. We had a few questions regarding the different Banh mi options and ended up even more confused than before we asked the questions. The place was clean and simple. No complaints there. We ended up ordering to go and got the Be Grill Pork Sandwich and the Glazed Chicken Sandwich. Both were decent. Good amount of veggies and meat. I do wish that they would layer the meats and veggies in a way that you get a bite of everything in every bite vs "hot dog style" where the meat is all at the crevice and veggies at the top (if that makes sense). Hubby thought glazed chicken was a little fishy due to the fish sauce but got used to it and didn't mind it too much after a few bites. I don't know if we will go back there unless we are stopping by for boba next door.

I've tried several banh mi places around ATL, but Be Banh Mi easily takes the top place for the best banh mi. I went on a Sunday afternoon and they were super busy so you know this place is legit (they had people calling in orders too!) The only down side is their menu is pretty limited compared to other places. I do like how you have the option to choose which type of bread you want your sandwich to be made - next time I'll have to try the baguette style bread! We got a pork sandwich and the chicken sandwich - I prefer the chicken one more (both were good but the pork had a lemongrass after taste which I didn't like). Portion sizes are worth the price but if you are really hungry, you can get a 12" sandwich (whaaat). The bread was probably the best bread I had by far - I'm not sure if they make it in house or if they get it somewhere else, but it was sooo good and I would return just for the bread. They are generous with the veggies too! Next time I'll have to ask them to put the veggies on the side because it made the sandwich a little soggy on the ride home. The store is rather small, so I wouldn't dine in because it gets pretty crowded in store with the workers behind the counter and people waiting for their orders.

My favorite banh mi!! Amazing flavor and quality!! Kinda pricey .. but worth it! Around $5-6 each for a regular size (bigger than usual) banh mi. They have FRESH! baked bread. I saw!! Having make their own bread you can guess that it smells amazing inside. They are fast too! Seems like they don't have call ahead to order, you have to walk in and order in person. I don't mind that since like I mentioned they make them pretty quick! What I've tried: ***The classic*** absolutely my favorite! Complex and satisfying flavors with every. Single. Bite. Being so delicious. The pork floss on top is a pleasant surprise. This is the staple in pork sandwiches *meatball* not what I expected however still tasty. I don't know why I was expecting like actual meatballs but it's more like mashed and had the soft texture of meatballs. Super flavorful but I prefer more texture on my sandwich *chicken* first timers favorite! If you've never tried banh mi and you'd like something a little familiar this one is for you! Also a kids favorite Service is very nice and the vibe is very clean and friendly. I love this place. Here like 3 times a month!!

It has been years since I've had a bahn mi and I was in the area. Be Bahn Mi is new since I was last around and I hope they stick around for the long haul. Service was very friendly and quick. My sandwich was ready in minutes. I went with the glazed chicken - glazed with fish sauce. A wonderful smell for eating in your car! /sarcasm. It was delicious and satisfied the craving. Enough of each component in the bahn mi. I also liked that they give the option of the type of bread. Regular or a stick. The stick seemed skinner for those who may not want as much bread. For shame. If you're in the area, give them a shot!

Sandwich was good but the cashier was rude. Not very nice to customer. She had a attitude.

I gotta open up with the fact that I am not a Banh Mi person. I've had a lot of bet experiences with these kind of sandwiches in the past usually because the bread is done very badly and I ended up with bleeding gums or covered in crumbs. Anyhow, a friend told me to stop by and try this place out and I was originally reluctant to try it but when I came I got to meet the owner and hear the full story about this spot (gafoodies.com for full story). Long story short, they have put a lot of time just in perfecting the bread at this place and making a Banh Mi Bun that was very crispy on the outside but also very soft and chewy on the inside. I gotta say they were not kidding, the bread used in these sandwiches was so good that I found myself coming here a lot. There are 2 types of Banh Mi you can get, one is the standard and another is called the stick which resembles a small baguette. I personally like the stick the best because its not so filling. The first time I came here I tried both the stick and the standard and loved both of them. I believe I got the classic banh mi as well as the meatball version. Both were amazing, and I gotta say the bread is like 90% of the reason! I dont necessarily live close to this area but I still make the drive to come here as often as I can for lunch. That said, if you are a banh mi fanatic or just wanting to try it out, you need to give this place a try.

Wow. Alright, so my favorite Banh Mi spot is shut down temporarily... I was on my way to my backup when I decided to try for something new, and I'm glad I did. This place is full of absolute deliciousness. A little different from your 'traditional' Banh Mi spots. Sandwiches are a little bit more expensive, $5ish compared to the $3 but the sandwiches are bigger than normal too and the price is worth it - they don't supplement off of Pho sales so it's like that. The topping selections are wider and they're really tasty. Honestly? The BBQ (#2?) one of the best I've ever had. The veggies are crisp, the bread is fresh and a little bit different from normal, but all in all? Super great - honestly I've found me a new sandwich shop. Try it out, you can't go wrong.

Be Banh Mi is the new kid on the block. It is the latest banh mi store to hit up the most cultural Street in Atlanta - Buford Highway from Chamblee to Doraville. I love me some banh mi but haven't found a good banh mi place that has a good veggie option. Most of them are bland and the tofu isn't flavorful. I gave in and decided to give them a try since the hype is real. No lie. Plus I wanted to see the size of the "stick." Because I hate crowds, I decide to go in early around 10:30 am. They are open at 9 am. There was another group before me, dining in, waiting for order. I ordered a skinny and regular tofu banh mi to go. I waited around ten minutes or so. When I got home, I took a bite of the skinny and was impressed with the flavors, it's not dry. The regular is the same flavors but I was hoping to see more veggies cause I love the pickled carrots and daikons. Nevertheless, the banh mi is good. Be Banh Mi has the best tofu banh mi I've had so far. Looking forward to coming back. 70/2020
