Bun Mi Vietnamese Grill

Came here on 3.6.22 Came here because I was in the area.... I love Vietnamese food.. It's really tasty.. The food here is really good and the fish sauce used in the bun is not as fishy as other places. What's really good though are the spring rolls. That's what you have to try..... I will go back and try the sandwiches one day.... Good experience and customer service... Good vibrant personalities.

Absolutely light and delicious! I had the noodle bowl with turmeric chicken and I also tried the lemongrass pork. Both were wonderful and full of flavor with pickled vegetables, rice noodles, lettuce, fresh mint and basil. The service was also impeccable for an upscale "food court". Only gave it 4 stars because it was a little pricey but you are paying for the location.

Ate here for lunch and the food was authentic and exquisitely good. We got the mom's bowl and chicken banh-mi. I will definitely eat here again the next time I'm in Atlanta.

Wow. From Chicago, eat Bahn MI once a week sometimes. Lemongrass pork sandwich was out of this world good. Pate was just the right amount and the right flavor. Ingredients were in the right proportions. Bread was authentic and the perfect balance of soft and chewy inside with crispy outside. Sandwich art form. The staff was friendly and went out of their way to make sure that I liked the sandwich. Here on business for the week. Will certainly be back.

The sandwiches here are so delicious. Really light, and refreshing, but still hearty enough to fill you up. Loved the beef bon mi sandwich.

We ordered the Grilled Turmeric Chicken Bánh Mì and it was a massive sandwich!!! Unfortunately they had put a disgusting pâté spread on the sandwich. No where on the menu does it mention pâté as the spread! So gross!!!! You can barely taste the curry on the chicken. We couldn't eat the sandwich and only ate the flavorless "curry" chicken. Wouldn't eat eat here again.

I had lemongrass pork vermicelli bowl and it was tasty! The pork was well-marinated and the nuoc cham sauce was refreshing. And the waiting only took about 5 minutes.

Ordered lunch for my office from here! 30 sandwiches and an order of 50 egg rolls! The food was great! Everyone enjoyed them and were really happy for the change up from the normal office lunches we order! Will order from again! Everything was carefully packed and labeled making it easy for team members to choose what they wanted. We ordered a sample of all sand inches offered.

This was the best bahn mi sandwich I've had in years. The pork was super flavorful, and it had everything you'd want - fresh bread, cilantro, a delicious sauce - just perfection. The serving was large, very filling. This is in the food hall at Politan Row, and it was ready fairly quickly at lunchtime on a Saturday. They give you a little buzzer so you know when to return when your food is ready. I highly recommend this place.

Chicken pho. A lot of freezer burned chicken, green onions and cilantro. No other vegetables as promised on menu. A $21 Pho with $4 tip (required before I was ever served) . No chopsticks, no fork. How do I eat the noodles? Broth was decent. My mother always said,"go to the places with the longest lines, that is the best food". No line at this space in a very busy food court.

Bun Mi Vietnamese Grill is my second favorite Vietnamese place ever!. This restaurant is a well oiled machine!! The service is quick, the portions are huge, the prices are so reasonable, the food is incredible. Highly recommend. Go a few times and get a bahn mi to share!

Thank goodness there was a long wait (over 30 min) at the taco place. I should not have slept on Bun Mi Vietnamese Grill and made it my first choice. I ordered the Bo Bowl and I did not have to wait at all to be able to have my meal. And while you may say well, then it wasn't fresh, but it was. All of the veggies in my bowl were fresh and tasty, even the pickled stuff. The noodles were gloriously cooked. The meat was also perfectly cooked and seasoned. The sauce/dressing was perfectly tangy and sweet. From what I've had in the past, this place is legit Vietnamese, not trying to pretend it is. Service was super friendly and caring. She made sure to ask me what I'd like and if I wanted any extras. And yes, of course, I will have some jalapeno.

I was craving a good bahn mi and decided to give this place a shot. I got the mushroom one, the only vegetarian option on the menu. It was very flavorful and pretty large. I would get this again

Chicken wings were terrible and the guy (dark haired working on 10/16 was not friendly or helpful at all. The flavor on the wings was a weird sweet mix while the wings were overly cooked and fried too hard. The egg rolls were pretty good however from the two items I had I wouldn't recommend going to this place. My food was placed out in the open on the counter and they would talk to random people as they walked up over the food as it was sitting here. The guy working behind the counter 10/16 was also not friendly.

I cannot believe I found a legit banh mi place in Atlanta!! First thought - no way I'm paying $15 for banh mi but size is huge and loaded with meats and taste very, very yummy. The bread is legit vietnamese baguette. Soft and airy and crispy on the outside. The meats are perfectly cooked and perfectly seasoned. Wish there's more of the carrot-daikon pickle, but for most people it's probably a fair amount. Coming from socal, we've had our fair share of banh mi, and this joint is definitely on par and better than some. We were skeptical and only came here because the burger place next door had shut down the grill, but this place exceeded expectation!

The flavor of the meats was seasoned exceptionally well, however, it took nearly 40 minutes to get our meal and the meats were cold when we did get them. (Saturday at 4 pm, and it was not that busy, there was only one person in front) On top of that, what is with the INCONSISTENCY of size in sandwiches? Before coming here I did hella research on Bahn Mi places near me and this place had raving reviews and pictures on the quality and size yet our sandwiches are much smaller than the other ones you see here. Not just in the size of the bread but the toppings lacked as well. I'm not going to lie, I'd probably try this place one more time just to give them a second chance and see if maybe they had an off day, but for now, I'm extremely disappointed.

Located in Atlanta midtown's food hall, this is the perfect place for a quick lunch during the workday. I chose this place out of all the options because the menu looked super interesting and I'm a huge fan of oyster mushrooms. It was so cool to open the box and see it loaded up with vegetables, mixture of carrots cilantro onions and greens. It comes with this soy sauce mixture and I recommend pouring it over and shaking the entire box to mix thoroughly. I loved how the light the noodles were and the oyster mushrooms tasted amazing!

Got the Banh Mi here, it was pretty good, but a little overpriced for the amount of food you get. The place is located in Colony Square so the ambiance is really great as it's basically an upscale food hall. Overall, god's experience and I would try it again.

Bun Mi Vietnamese Grill is one of the 11 vendors you can visit inside Politan Row at Colony Square. Service is phenomenal. I placed my order and not even a minute later the food was done. The server was so sweet and funny that I would come back just to see her. I ordered the Heo Bowl (Grilled Lemongrass Pork Bún Bowl). This bowl includes grilled honey lemongrass pork on a bed of bún noodles (rice vermicelli), topped with lettuce, cucumber, pickled carrots and daikon, and crispy shallots. A Vietnamese style fish sauce is served on the side. The lemongrass pork was tender and juicy, and tasted absolutely phenomenal, both sweet yet savory. All the ingredients complement each other so well. Portion size is also great for the price. I was really satisfied with my meal and would definitely come back for more!

One of the best banh mis I've had in a long time. Really good bread, well-marinated meat, with lots of veggies. I'll be back.

This place was really good! I've never had a Vietnamese PoBoy and this blew my mind. So flavorful and fresh.

I really really wanted to like this place but it fell short. I ordered the shrimp spring rolls, and I was pretty disappointed. One of the spring rolls was given to me already open (see photo). The shrimp looked tasty but was really rubbery and seemed old and/or overcooked. The spring roll was pretty dry so I was excited to try the dipping sauce but it had little flavor. Overall not great. Maybe other items on their menu are better! The only reason I gave this place two stars is because the lady working the cash register was so friendly! She was awesome.

I ordered the shrimp banh mi and took it home to eat. My shrimp banh mi had pate on it. I did not ask for pate. The menu doesn't say that the shrimp version has pate, like it does for other protein options. Liver grosses me out, and I've been feeling sick since I had the sandwich. My guess is that either the cook did not properly prepare my sandwich, or they realized they added pate to the sandwich and disregarded it. I've had this same banh mi before, and it did not have shrimp. This is unacceptable. I didn't notice the pate until I started eating the sandwich. All I can think of is, what if someone with dietary restrictions accidentally took a bite? I would not recommend.

Located in the colony square food hall sits this hidden gem. I was staying at the hotel connected to the square so upon my arrival I looked for something to eat. With many options for food with flavors from all over the globe I decided on dining here. Looking over them menu I decided on the vermicelli bowl with lemongrass flavored grilled pork on a bed of vermicelli noodles, lettuce, cucumbers, pickled daikon and carrots, crispy shallots and drizzled with house special dipping sauce. No expert in the cuisine but I have many of these bowls and I thought this was one of the better places I've tried. I went back the next day for a bahn mi with the same pork and was also very good. When you here food court near hotel you think fast food options. Glad this was not the case and I look forward to coming back here on my next visit

If you somehow manage to find Colony Square's food hall, tastiness awaits at Bun Mi. As first timers to this area of Midtown, it took us an embarrassingly long time to find the food hall. Honestly, the signage leaves something to be desired, but I'm sure that will change as this area finishes developing. Bun Mi focuses on two things: banh mi, and bun. Hence the name. They do also have spring rolls, but don't expect to find a comprehensive Vietnamese restaurant menu. They have all the standard toppings/fillings for the banh mi and bun: pork, chicken, beef, shrimp, and a vegetarian option. Here, unlike most other places, the vegetarian option is oyster mushrooms rather than tofu. I got the "Mom's bowl", the combo bowl option that includes pork, shrimp, and fried egg rolls. The portions are really generous, and if I hadn't been so hungry I probably could have made two meals out of the bun. It was about $15, which is more than this dish would be on Buford Highway, but not too bad for the central location and the amount of food you get. There is plenty of meat and veg. My only complaint is that the nuoc cham could be a little more flavorful. My vegetarian lunch buddy got the oyster mushroom banh mi and the oyster mushroom spring roll. The banh mi are HUGE, and come in a basket like it's a baby or something. Honestly, neither of us were big fans of the oyster mushroom. We love oyster mushrooms, but the innate texture of them (ie super chewy) just doesn't really mesh well with the banh mi format, in my opinion. If they'd had a tofu option, which I hope they introduce in the future, I'm sure it would have been excellent. Our friends who got the meaty banh mi were very pleased. So I would come back here and this is clearly a standout in the food hall, but wish they had a larger variety of vegetarian options.

Best banh mi in Atlanta - full stop. I have been ordering Bun Mi's beef banh mi at least once a week from Uber Eats for months now. It is incredibly delicious; all of the ingredients are fresh and of the best quality. From the bread, to the tasty beef, to the handmade aioli, and all the fresh crunchy veg on top - it has never disappointed. Today, I was downtown and opted to stop in to visit the store that has my favorite sandwich and I was lucky enough to meet the owner. What a gem of a human! Such a nice guy, who truly cares about the quality of his product and taking care of his customers. If you live or work near the Colony Square area, don't sleep on Bun Mi. I know you have a lot of options but give this restaurant a try - I promise you won't be disappointed.

The young guy who was working tonight 10/8/2023 was rude. They did not have any hoisin sauce or siracha sauce for my pho and he told me I was being picky ‍ Everywhere I have ordered Pho it comes with the order. It was so blend I couldn't even eat it. I asked to speak to the supervisor just to let them know that next time they need to inform customers when they don't have any sauce. I would have ordered something else or better yet somewhere else. He said so what are you going to do? You're just being picky.

The food is delicious- this sandwich was outstanding! The wait and service - absolutely horrible. 37 min wait for this sandwich. It doesn't matter how yummy - they should not keep customers waiting this long for their food. And the lady, despite being smiley, didn't even apologize for the wait.

I wanted to like the bahn mi here but it was just ok. Tried the shrimp, pork, chicken, and the beef bahn mi along with shrimp spring roll. I did feel like the ingredients were fresh and Bun Mi tried to keep the flavor more simple and refreshing with their pickled carrots and daikon but either it lacked flavor or the flavor was a bit weird. But if I was to choose the best bahn mi out of the 4 that I tried, I would choose the chicken which I had the least expectations for. For the price, they don't skimp you on the meat, but when there's no flavor, your mouth just felt dull. Pretty sure, we didn't get the freshest batch of bread, which might have added to this experience. And for the shrimp spring roll, I didn't like that it came with a side of fish sauce instead of the usual peanut sauce. Lastly, while the coconut water in a real coconut shell was unique, I wasn't too fond of the raw water taste but that's just me because I'm the type to drink mixed fruit flavored coconut water.

Came here for a quick dinner before the symphony. At first I thought, "Damn, $13 for a banh mi" but after getting my to-go order it was well worth the price. The lemongrass pork was juicy and flavorful and the pickled veggies were a nice balance of sweet and salty.

Visiting Atlanta and needed a quick lunch. So many interesting sounding banh mi's on the menu that I couldn't decide. The chef/owner waited on me and suggested the grilled turmeric chicken with cucumbers, pickled daikon, carrots, cilantro, garlic aioli and truffle pate! It was delicious!!! Also had the grilled herb shrimp rolls served with their unique & tasty dipping sauce, and I rounded off the meal with a combination of lime aid and orange passion fruit juice. What a nice treat! Highly recommend this place.

Always a great place to get a good grilled bun mi! When you call ahead they will have it ready curbside very fast efficient consistent and great tasting what more can you want in a good take away restaurant. I can't wait till they get pork belly!! Sang you got to come through for me!!!

Owner Sang greeted me as I walked in with a noticeable smile in his voice and eyes. There was a certain courteousness and respect for how he treated me that really came across. I felt at home right away. Being my first Vietnamese restaurant in Atlanta, it has been a while since I had sampled it, and man was I in for a surprise when I got home. Sang prides himself in using fresh organic high quality ingredients and his dishes do not include monosodium glutamate (msg), the flavor enhancer often found in low quality establishments but also in your bag of Doritos. That's a relief. Sang helped me with my order---I gravitated to the Pork Vermicelli Bowl (said yes to jalapeños) and then Sang he steered me to a Chicken (Ga) Mi Sandwich since I'd already chosen pork for the bowl (pro tip: choose variety over monotony). I also chose two types of fresh spring rolls (shrimp and pork) as well as one order of crispy spring rolls which included traditional fish sauce for the fresh shrimp roles, hoisin peanut sauce for the fresh pork rolls and a hot and sweet sauce for the crispy fried rolls. Wow mouth watering. While I waited I had a Vietnamese coffee which was awesome. While I was waiting Sang and I got to talking about favorite Asian dishes and this is where he set himself apart from your average restauranteur! He made a list of places and recommendations which I can't wait to try. During the short exchange we really connected, exchanging phone numbers will probably be going out for a family picnic. How cool is that ? Parking on this property was easy. The building had its own lot. Obviously at the moment everything is take out. However, everything was packaged just so it would taste great when you ate it at home. Can't thank Sang enough and look forward to our picnic.

If you are looking for a great Bahn Mi look no further. I'm originally from the east coast and after trying several spots in Atlanta found this gem, felt like I was back home! Highly recommend! My favorite is the Heo Mi!

I decided to check out this restaurant due to a recommendation of a friend, and I'm glad I did! Bun Mi isn't your typical, ordinary Vietnamese restaurant. It actually takes more of a modern approach while still remaining authentic to key Vietnamese ingredients. They have a variety of different banh mi and bun (vermicelli noodle) bowl options. I ordered the Special-Mi which comes with grilled short ribs. I've eaten the traditional banh mi my whole life, so I didn't know what to expect, but it was amazing. I loved how generous they are with portion size. The sandwich is bigger than average with plenty of meat and toppings. I like the avocado addition, and the pate is light and not overpowering, which I loved. My favorite thing was that the sandwhich wasn't at all greasy, and my meal felt very light and healthy. So although I ate the entire thing, I didn't feel uncomfortably full, but perfectly satisfied and filled. My cousin ordered the Tom-Bowl, and she as well was very happy with her meal. She enjoyed the toppings it was topped off with (fried onions and mint) and thought the nuoc mam (fish sauce) was really good. Definitely represented the Vietnamese dish. In addition, the owner, Sang, took the time to talk to us and even took our orders and brought it out to us when it was ready. Service was extremely quick. I definitely recommend checking out Bun Mi! I will certainly be back to try out the other dishes.

Fresh, clean, cute restaurant. Love all the succulent decor throughout. Menu is simple- various banh mi, vermicelli bowls, and spring rolls. We came here for lunch and I ordered #5 Grilled Garlic Herb Shrimp Banh Mi $9.95 The sandwich was large and the shrimp was grilled to order. Lots of flavor. Maybe could have added a few more shrimp. Bread tasted fresh, with a hint of crunch. Hubby ordered #4 Grilled Turmeric Chicken Banh Mi $7.95 chicken was grilled to order and there was plenty of it, very tasty. Complementary help yourself lemon infused water at front of restaurant We were very content and happy with our sandwiches! Free parking is in a structure behind restaurant.

I ordered the wagyu pho and, first off, it took 30 minutes to come out. The broth was really bland and instant powder tasting. I also found a white plastic string attached to the meat.

I love this place... their menu isn't so option intensive.... the food they offer is delectable! They serve sandwiches, rice & vermicelli bowls.... my fave is the Vietnamese Coffee. Every time I take my MoM for her physical therapy @ Benchmark w/ Agnes, I'm always placing my order so we can have a scrumptious lunch after my MoM's appt. I have to say that their ingredients are all fresh and prepared to order =*}

I looove their banh mi's here. They taste fresh and light - perfect for a lunch. I tried their Special Mi and it was absolutely delicious. My friend tried the Bo bowl which came with vermicelli noodles and liked those as well. The bahn mi is definitely the way to go. The Special Mi has a bit of a modern twist and comes with avocado as well as kale. They didn't put as much avocado as I would have liked but it was still very tasty. The baguettes they use for their banh mis are also soft and fresh - baked to perfection. I tried this spot for dinner and it wasn't very crowded, not sure what the lunch crowd looks like but this is definitely a place I would love to visit during lunch.

Located on Peachtree Road, Bun Mi was a little difficult to see from the road but using google maps we finally found it. You can park in the garage in back of the building. None of this is real clear at first glance. We came on a Saturday afternoon, the place was empty so we walked up to the counter and looked at the menu. We came for Bah mi so we ordered two, Mushroom for me and a pork one for my partner. About 10 minutes later they brought our sandwiches to our table, we helped ourselves to water. My mushroom bah mi was huge and so was my partners, the biggest bah mi I'd ever been served. The bread was a little disappointing, too soft, missing the crunchy crust of most bah mi I have had. It was also a little bland. Overall nice restaurant, good service, we have had better bah mi. We will probably drive to Buford Hwy next time.

Actually pretty tasty food. I guess I didn't expect it in a food hall type place. Lots of flavors and pretty trendy spot! It felt more like a night life kind of place.

Another great vendor located inside the beautiful Politan Row. I visited this spot just before the weekday lunch rush so I was able to take my time looking at all the menus from the many vendors in the food court. While making my rounds I was drawn in by the Bun Mi staffs vibrant personality. I couldn't say no after listening to them describe the food and I'm so glad I said yes. I ordered the original Banh Mi sandwich and I can say it's one of the best I've had in a while. Also the portions are huge, I had leftovers to munch on for the rest of the day. They also have fresh juices. I ordered the Hibiscus Tea which was also delicious (if you're not a fan of tart drinks, then I don't recommend). Overall I really enjoyed my meal and will likely make it point to go back on my next trip to ATL. Politan Row food court is a gem and a welcome escape for the busy midtown streets that surround it.

Bun Mi is a modern, fast-casual Vietnamese restaurant that opened in May 2018 on the ground level of the Aramore condominium building in Buckhead, facing Peachtree Street. Other restaurants at the Aramore include popular Holeman and Finch, Restaurant Eugene, and Starfish sushi restaurant. Free deck parking is available at the Aramore directly behind the restaurant. Stairs from the deck will put you directly on Peachtree Street, right next to Starfish's patio. If facing Starfish's storefront, Bun Mi is on the right. I'll just go ahead and write this up front -- no, Bun Mi isn't as cheap nor as "authentic" as a lot of the Vietnamese eateries on Buford Highway. I admit I still prefer the dac biet (special combination) sandwiches at banh mi shops like Lee's Bakery and Quoc Huong. And Bun Mi's menu isn't as extensive as a sit-down restaurant like Nam Phuong or a noodle house like Pho Dai Loi. That said, this isn't Buford Highway. This is Buckhead. The neighborhood/target demographic is different. Bun Mi's menu is fairly straightforward and streamlined. They serve banh mi (Vietnamese sandwiches), bun (rice vermicelli noodle bowls), goi cuon (fresh spring rolls wrapped in rice paper), and beverages like fresh-pressed sugarcane juice "with a citrus twist" and Vietnamese iced coffee. There are about a half-dozen kinds each of banh mi, priced at $8.95 to $10.95 per sandwich, and vermicelli noodle bowls, priced at $9.95 to $11.95 per bowl. They sell three kinds of spring rolls (pork, shrimp, and mushroom) for $4.95 for two rolls. Special drinks run anywhere from $2.75 for Asian-brand drinks to $5.25 for the fresh-pressed sugarcane juice. Several small things differentiate Bun Mi from typical, traditional, "old school" Vietnamese restaurants. Among them: - Bun Mi uses a longer, slimmer baguette for their banh mi. - Bun Mi makes their own French pate with truffle oil. - Bun Mi offers shrimp and mushroom as banh mi ingredient options. - Bun Mi offers kale, arugula, and avocado in some dishes. - Bun Mi offers a vegan dipping sauce in addition to traditional fish sauce. - You can order online for pick-up in store at www.bunmigrill.com. - Bun Mi is eco-friendly (e.g. their noodle bowls are biodegradable). So, there's a lot to like about this place, but most importantly, I think the food is good. And it helps that the owners, Sang Ho and Truc Mai, are super nice. Sang also owns and runs the Ru San's (sushi restaurant) up in Kennesaw, so he splits his time between restaurants. One of their workers, Phil, is also friendly. I've tried just about everything on the menu between my first visit for a Yelp Elite Event in August 2018, when Sang and Truc had all hands on deck for a menu tasting (https://www.yelp.com/biz/yee-yelps-taste-of-bun-mi-atlanta), and my subsequent visit as a regular customer. My experiences have been nothing but positive. I haven't had a bad thing on the menu. Literally, everything has been tasty. Since I can't cover everything I've tried, I'll recommend some of my favorites. The list below includes menu numbers. Banh Mi: * 1. Special-Mi ($10.95) - grilled beef short rib with kale, avocado, truffle pate, garlic aioli, cucumbers, cilantro * 2. Bo-Mi ($9.50) - grilled beef short rib, truffle pate, garlic aioli, pickled carrots & daikon, cucumbers, cilantro * 4. Ga-Mi ($7.95) - grilled turmeric chicken, truffle pate, garlic aioli, pickled carrots & daikon, cucumbers, cilantro * Thursday Special - house-roasted Cheshire pork belly, avocado, red onion, green leaf lettuce, and more Noodles: * 8. Heo-Bowl ($10.95) - grilled honey lemongrass pork vermicelli bowl with green leaf lettuce, pickled carrots & daikon, cucumbers, cilantro, mint, crispy shallots, house sauce Rolls: * 12. Heo-Roll ($4.95) - two grilled honey lemongrass pork spring rolls with vermicelli wrapped in rice paper, green leaf lettuce, cucumber, mint, cilantro and served with a house dipping sauce Drinks: * Fresh Coconut ($5.00) * Orange Passionfruit Juice with Chia Seeds ($4.50) The meats and mushrooms (king mushrooms) Bun Mi uses are the same across their sandwiches, noodle bowls, and rolls. So, for example, the Heo-Roll tastes almost exactly like the Heo-Bowl, except in roll form. The portion sizes, for the most part, are reasonable and sometimes - particularly for the banh mi - generous. They pack their sandwiches with a lot of meat. All of the meats (short rib, chicken, pork) are nicely seasoned, tender, and flavorful. I'm not much of a chicken fan when it comes to Vietnamese food, but Bun Mi's turmeric chicken is actually quite delectable. My favorite banh mi has been the Cheshire pork belly banh mi. Chef Sang likes to play with the menu on Thursdays. Bun Mi's coconut juice is served directly in coconuts which is cool (it reminds me of Thailand). The restaurant seats about 25 customers comfortably. It's a nice, new, contemporary build-out with an open kitchen, white subway tile, and beautiful suspended wooden light fixtures.

I first heard of Bun Mi through a Yelp event -- and loved it. I went back last week to try it out without the crowd of ravenous Yelpsters. If anything, Bun Mi was better than I had experienced at the night the restaurant was closed to everyone by the the Yelp crowd. What makes Bun Mi so good? It starts with Mr. Sang, the owner. He loves his restaurant, he loves his customers, and he loves serving Vietnamese food to the customers. My friend and I split an order of grilled shrimp spring rolls. Made fresh for us with the shrimp still warm. I had the beef short rib banh mi; my friend had the beef short rib bowl. Both were terrific. The bread for the sandwich is baked specially for Bun Mi. Thinner than most -- so you're eating less bread -- with a crisp crust and chewy interior. Slathered with pate. Add short ribs, veggies and of course cilantro, and you have the perfect sandwich -- the marriage of French and Vietnamese cuisine. The bowl was a bowl with the same ingredients as the sandwich (minus the pate, plus noodles) but no broth. It was extraordinary. Don't forget the Vietnamese iced coffee. You'll never go back to a yupster coffee shop for a frappu-whatever. There's loads of free parking behind the building. And be sure to chat up Mr. Sang. He'll welcome you as if you were a member of his own family. FYI: This is my second review for Bun Mi. The Yelp enforcers took down my first review since I mistakenly reviewed the Yelp event at Bun Mi and posted it on the Bun Mi site rather than the special site for Yelp events. As a senior citizen and the world's oldest Yelper, you'd think those enforcer pendejos would cut me some slack. This is the second time they've removed one of my reviews.

Bun Mi is in the snazzy new Colony Square food hall. The mushroom banh mi is pretty good but it's really rich and, for some reason, doesn't come with the customary shredded carrot and cucumber that would really cut the richness. I did like that they serve it with some fried onions, along with mayo and cilantro. The bread is good, too, and it's a big sandwich.

I was fairly disappointed with my most recent experience here. We came with the whole family expecting good service and a good meal. It was not crowded at all on a Saturday night, so service should not have been an issue. The night started with me placing my food and drink orders. There was only one other table of 2 people there before us, but we ended up waiting about 10 mins for our bun mi, vermicelli bowl, and 2 drinks. I was a little surprised we didn't get our drink more quickly so we could drink it while we were waiting. Half way through our meal, we realized it wouldn't be enough. So I stood up, walked over to the register, and intended to place another order. With 3 people at the grill/assembly line area, another who originally took my order but disappeared at times, and whomever else in the back, I was never able to place my order. The people just looked at me, then went back to doing whatever they were doing. After waiting at the register to place my order for over 5 mins, I looked at my wife, they were done with the meal, and I walked back over to my table. My wife and I discussed whether we should place another order, but we were greatly concerned that it would take too long at the current pace. So we made the decision to leave, despite the boys still saying they were hungry. We ended up picking up some food elsewhere on the way home.

I've been going to Bún Mi since they first opened two years ago and their food has always impressed me. One of the better Asian restaurants available inside the perimeter. My first experience with Banh mi was on Buford Highway, but having this option in Atlanta is a game changer. Plus their portion sizes are generous!! I can usually stretch one Banh mi and a side for lunch and dinner. My go to is the short rib & garlic shrimp. I haven't seen many places in Atlanta offer short rib Banh mi so I'm a big fan. Pro-tip: ask for a side of their special soy sauce and drizzle over your Banh mi, just an extra layer of flavor to switch it up. I also am a huge fan of their fried egg rolls made with chicken and shrimp. So crispy, so perfect! And can't forget that they have bubble tea!!! I was a bit skeptical, but honestly it's better than most bubble tea shops. That's because after chatting with the owner I found out they use real tea & milk!! They only have three flavors but honestly that's all you really need. Plus as opposed to just boba they have three distinct jellies. My vote is for the coffee jelly! Other favorites - Passion Fruit drink with Chia seeds - Fresh Coconut - Shrimp Spring Rolls Parking is free in the covered garage behind Bún Mí, so it's easily accessible. Highly recommend for a quick fast casual high-quality meal.

Hands down, Bun Mi is my favorite banh mi place ITP. Bun Mi is a fast, casual hidden gem located in Buckhead and offers pick up or delivery. Bun Mi's menu is very simple, but provides a variety of options that always tempts me to order way too much. I've tried and ordered the following: - grilled pork banh mi - grilled short rib beef banh mi - grilled chicken banh mi - shrimp noodle bowl - orange passion fruit juice My favorite banh mi is the grilled pork, but all their sandwiches are amazing! Their bread has the perfect crunch to it, meat is always extremely tender, and overall the sandwiches have great flavor. The sandwich + noodle bowl were large portion sizes and fed me for two meals. The veggies that comes with the noodle bowl were very fresh and loved the sauce that comes with it. Make sure to order the orange passion fruit juice - super refreshing and a great treat to go with your meal. I'm definitely a repeat customer and this place did my go to for in town banh Mi!

We ordered the Grilled Turmeric Chicken Bánh Mì and it was a massive sandwich!!! Unfortunately they had put a disgusting pâté spread on the sandwich. No where on the menu does it mention pâté as the spread! So gross!!!! You can barely taste the curry on the chicken. We couldn't eat the sandwich and only ate the flavorless "curry" chicken. Wouldn't eat eat here again.

I'm giving this place Five stars because well I love this place but also because the owner is one of a kind amazing. So this place is really hard to find and people usually pass it on their way to go somewhere else sadly. It's in the newer Office/residential building on Peachtree near Imperial Fez. It's on the lower level street side more towards the right side of the complex than the left. Just call him for directions, he is super helpful. I chose this place because we just got back from Vietnam and was craving some authentic food this place had some pretty good reviews. We showed up a few days before New Year's and the place was empty but don't let that fool you, the food is fresh. From what we witnessed everywhere was pretty dead around this time of year. I immediately started chatting with the owner, a Vietnamese gentleman with the love of Vietnamese food. He suggested a few typical Vietnamese dishes. I chose a pork Banh Mi and my kids got a chicken one. We also had their chicken wings which was glazed in a sweet spicy-ish fish sauce which was very tasty. We got some of their specialty in-house drinks, the red one which my kids LOVED, they still ask for, and I got the orange/yellow drink. Sorry I forgot what their flavors were but they are very refreshing. They have some authentic drinks from Asia you can choose from, they also make homemade Pho! I did not get to taste that because it was still cooking however I did go over and take a quick whiff ok maybe 5 and it's made without any msg or anything else yucky like that. Our sandwiches were so yummy. Chopped pieces of marinated flavorful pork, mayo, cucumber, carrots making the sandwich very light feeling. Parking is fine, you just have to park behind the building and walk towards the front. Prices are ok. Not cheap but not expensive. I would love to go here on a weekly basis. Many of their customers are repeat! And I witnessed many coming in for to-go orders.

I had the beef and avocado banh mi and it was pretty good. The beef especially was marinated well. The banh mis are also a decent size enough for lunch. I also tried the lemongrass pork and was disappointed. I didn't really get the lemongrass flavor. The real reason for the three stars though is that it took 15 minutes to get two banh mis. That isn't really acceptable for lunch at a place that is counter service in a food court. I know you can order ahead, but we went at 11:30 and there was no one else in line. I shudder to think how long it would take to get your sandwich if the place was actually busy...

I went here based on the yelp reviews. The food was not that great, the pho did not taste like your traditional pho. If you're looking for that traditional taste I would not recommend going here, find that little hole in the wall to meet expectations.

Let me preface this by saying if you are trying to find this place, put "starfish" into your GPS because it's literally right next door. There's a garage parking entrance right next to starfish. Go for that! There is a good amount of retail parking. Then just walk onto Peachtree! I came with a group of 7 people to Bun Mi, and we were all very impressed. We shared a LOT of stuff so that we could try as much as possible. Sang, the owner, came out to talk to us before any of our food came out to tell us about the concept. The way he talks about his restaurant and food is just very inspiring. I love to cook, so the way he talked about his cooking passion really made me smile. His food has no MSG and relies on the flavors of his ingredients (awesome!). I started off with an orange passionfruit juice with chia seeds. This had a little tartness and was so refreshing. I liked this a lot. I'm not a huge fan of sweet drinks or overly sweet desserts, so I was worried this might be too sweet. It wasn't. It was perfect. We got egg rolls and spring rolls as an appetizer. The spring rolls were filled with home-marinated fillings, shrimp, mushroom, and either pork or beef, I can't quite remember which of the two it was. But both were good, the shrimp being my favorite. They go heavy on the herbs and veggies inside, so if you're hoping for heavy portions, you might be better off ordering the egg rolls. The egg rolls were FRESH, yet not at all too oily. I was very impressed. That's my biggest pet peeve about egg rolls, they're always oily. Not here. We also got an order of each style of chicken wings. I'm a huge fan of the drumsticks, so I definitely tried those. My friend mentioned that they weren't as crispy as she would have liked. But it's hard to be super crispy when you have saucy wings. I didn't mind the lack of being super crispy. The flavor was really good, and the chicken was perfectly cooked and juicy. Okay, let's move on to the entrees! We were AMAZED AT HOW BIG the banh mi's were. We got one of each. And they were nice enough to cut them into more than just halves. Each banh mi was cut into 4 sandwiches. I will say, these aren't exactly your cheap, traditional banh mi like you would find at Lee's Bakery for example. And I am okay with that. These are HUGE. They work with a baker who only makes these baguettes for Bun Mi. I loved the bread. It was airy. The grilled beef short rib was my favorite, but I'm very biased. I LOVE short rib. The meats (and mushroom) in all of these are very flavorful. You can't really go wrong with any of them. We also got 3 of the bun bowls. They were nice enough to do a combo version for us, adding in more than just shrimp, or chicken to a particular bowl. But out of all of the proteins, I gotta say, the shrimp is out of this world. I don't know what they do with the shrimp or how they season it, but it is packed with flavor, but their lemongrass pork is also a really strong contender. It comes with your standard cucumber and vermicelli noodles, as well as lettuce, and pickled daikon with carrot. Really, any banh mi or bun that you order is going to be solid. And I don't think you could go wrong with any option. I would come here for their inspired versions of banh mi, especially if you're hungry. Those sandwiches could really make 3-4 portions, depending on how strict you are with your diet.

I order take out. A Boi Mi bowl with the passion fruit orange made with chia seeds. Delicious I like Vietnamese food because it taste fresh and light. Just a warning if your a sauce person the bowl is not for you. The sandwich would be a better fit so that you can taste everything at once. This is my new favorite lunch spot. Small with easy parking and bubble tea. I'm there.

I wanted to love this place so bad because pho is one of my absolute favorite dishes and politan row has such a great vibe! The broth of the pho had almost little to no flavor and it's extremely overpriced for what you get. With a tip, I nearly spent $19 on it. When I went to ask for a to go soup container, they told me they didn't have any when I saw one being used by them. In addition, there were no soup spoons which are must haves for a good bowl of pho! Left a little disappointed in the food and the service.

Pros: Extremely large bahn mi, free parking, PERFECT bread, interesting menu items, meat cooked to order, freshest veggies, decent pork to bread ratio, clean restaurant and restroom. Cons: Skimpy shrimp to bread ratio, everything needs more flavor (sandwiches missing sliced jalapeños, bland spring rolls, bland shrimp, bland pork), somewhat unhelpful staff. All in all, not bad in a pinch. However, this is definitely not a first choice for authentic bahn mi. Asked for soy sauce (to mix with sriracha in hopes of making the food have a little taste) and was told there was none. Also refused twice to cut spring rolls in half, because they would fall apart. There were four of us and we were trying to share.. they had no knives for the patrons to use. For an $8 bahn mi, I definitely expected more.

I'm so thrilled to have this Vietnamese Street Food restaurant right downstairs from my condo. The food is delicious, and the staff is even more delicious :P The Food: quality ingredients, every time. I love the vermicelli bowl; I get it with shrimp. The juicy shrimp is grilled to perfection every time. I get it with extra fresh jalapeños and extra fish sauce. The fish sauce is unlike any I've had-- it's got a moderate citrus/lime flavor but it's still nice and savory. It feels home made. The wings are delicious, and made fresh to order every time. If you like them wet, they will provide an extra side of the delicious sauce, free of charge. The spring rolls are also very good. I can't speak on the bun mi (sandwiches), which I have never ordered, but I hear they are some of the best in town. Still waiting for them to start making Pho (soup)--one of my favorite Vietnamese dishes that is currently not on the menu yet. The Owners: from the first time I stepped foot in this establishment (pre-coronavirus), the staff was very welcoming, and wanted to know if I lived in the neighborhood. I said I did, and they were so thrilled. They expressed wanting to establish themselves in the community, and placing value on local regulars. That immediately made me feel welcomed. Every time I go in, they remember me, crack jokes, and make sure that I am taken care of (with all of my extras!). 10/10 friendly staff!

I'm in Atlanta on business and decided to look for something to eat in the area I was currently in. I've been on a Vietnamese kick lately and I wanted to compare this place to the ones I've had before. At the least, I knew I was going to get some good food. I'm sad to report that this was the best one I've had to date. I'm sad because I don't live here and now I'll always compare the places back home to here. The Bo-Mí (#2) was very good. The short rib was flavored really well and the sandwich was a good portion. This is a large sandwich and you should bring your appetite or at least some one to assist in tackling this. The Tom-Roll was just as awesome. It had garlic and herb grilled shrimp (which I'm not use to getting) and it was great, down to the last bite. Overall, I had a great experience. The staff was just as awesome. Hopefully I can come again the next time I'm in Atlanta.
