Mi 'N Tea

You're in the middle of working but your eyes can't stop looking at Matcha Tiramisu Latte. I got it made with almond milk although the foam was dairy(jfz). So good. I needed to eat something quick. I ordered the fried tofu bites. They weren't marinated but were crispy and came on a little bed of salad(surprise). It was sprinkled with a bit of cayenne.There are other offerings I will try next visit, not working.

Update: The owner responded to my review, and I want to address their comments. First off, I approached them right away with my concern that the banh-mi was bland and needed more flavoring. They didn't care then. I ended up just asking for more Vietnamese mayo, hoping that it would add a little more flavor---it did not. While they didn't care then, they cared enough to respond to an honest Google Review by trying to condescend and minimize my feedback. As a result, I'm downgrading my review to 1-star. Here's the thing. I'm a huge fan of banh-mi, and I've lived in France so am very familiar with pâté. When I say something is bland, I am speaking from experience. Banh-mi normally has rich, complex flavors because it relies on fresh, quality ingredients. When I ate the pork belly, it tasted like lunch meat that had added pepper. The pâté was barely present---I literally had to take apart the banh-mi to even see it. And Vietnamese mayo is not regular mayo with extra egg yolk. It's supposed to be richer, more complex than regular mayo, relying less on vinegar and acids---this did not taste like that. Overall, they just do not use quality ingredients. They're not bad ingredients. I don't think people will get sick from them, but they're just mass-produced, bland, and lack any flavor profile that one would expect from a banh-mi. The only part of the banh-mi that tasted distinct in any way was the jalapeño... well, the bread was also nice, crunchy. Additionally, the restaurant was NOT rushed. There was only one other table waiting on food when we arrived, and a few to-go orders. I got my banh-mi fairly quickly, though my friend had to wait for a LONG time to get his spring rolls---the sauce that came with the spring rolls was awful btw, think sugary bbq sauce. As for the tipping, I can't stress this enough: Restaurants that do not offer table service should not automatically suggest a 20% tip. What are we tipping for? You don't greet us, offer food suggestions, get us drinks, or even bus the table. Food arrives late, and no one checks in to make sure you're enjoying the food. Tipping is supposed to reward good customer service, but there was none. Original Review: Ordered a banh-mi, and it was extremely bland. The pate was barely noticeable, the pork belly was peppery and rubbery lunch meat, and the Vietnamese mayo tasted like regular mayo with food coloring. Service was mid. The place is just a gentrified food spot, the kind where you order at the register, and the screen prompts you to tip 20% before they provide any actual service. The cashier was nice enough, just rushed and disinterested in actually interacting. No one checks in on you to see if you need anything, and then you have to bus your own table—so what’s the tip for? It’s not worth the visit.

I’ve ordered from here once or twice over the years. The bahn mi have been fresh, very flavorful and overall of high quality. The popcorn chicken is tasty as well but it could be a bigger serving as someone else also said. I would definitely order again or eat in at this establishment.

Really great lunch spot in Manayunk. Came with a few people and started off sharing taro chips which were a great combination of sweet and salty. We shared the fried shrimp, the lemongrass pork, and the side trip to Korea. The last one being my favorite. The bulgogi beef was seasoned perfectly and paired well with the fresh veggies and crisp roll. Great sandwich. Friendly staff as well; would definitely recommend stopping in.

Phenomenal food and drinks!! Be prepared to want to visit this restaurant every day and give them all your money! :) We happened to be walking around and this place caught our eye. We tried the lemongrass pork sandwich and the crispy shrimp sandwich. Both sandwiches had huge portions of protein and the freshest veggies we’ve ever tasted. We couldn’t get over how much protein was in this sandwich. The shrimps are huge shrimp not the tiny shrimp or chopped up shrimp. We also could not stop talking about how they had the freshest cilantro we had ever experienced. The fresh baked roll is the perfect vessel for all the sandwich goodies and it soft inside with a crispy crust. The bread doesn’t weigh down the sandwich and you don’t feel like your just eating bread. The boba in the drinks was cooked perfectly with the right amount of chew. We liked that the drinks packed a lot of flavor without being overly sweet or sugary. Super friendly staff and nice quick service add to the overall experience!

Amazing banh mi sandwich- I got the fried shrimp and it was fresh and yum especially with the veggies/cilantro. ONE thing is I wish there was more sauce in the sandwich~but still good. We got the Vietnamese iced coffee, purple daze milk tea, and passion fruit sunrise tea. I got the purple daze which was a great combo of taro&green tea. Everyone loved their drinks. Employees there were friendly!

This Banh mi slapped so hard I forgot where I was for a few minutes. I got the shrimp banh mi and added chicken pate. Fresh, crispy veggies, the cilantro was even so beautiful. So. Fire. I ate 2 whole orders of Taro chips because they were the best I ever had. They sprinkle sugar on them! The viet iced coffee was so rich and smooth. I think I’m coming back here tomorrow, and the day after, and the day after that. Service was SO nice, they were really kind and the store was pretty. Lovely place for a scrumptious quick bite!

Very pleased! Great service, very yummy food, reasonable prices, nice atmosphere! My partner and I stopped by there during a bike ride. They kindly allowed us to park our bike inside the restaurant. The atmosphere is very cosy and modern. Service is great. Lots of (original) choices on the menu. Food was very yummy. Very satisfied! We’ll certainly return!

Mi 'N Tea is an establishment that offers solid banh mi, bubble tea options and more. Staff are also very friendly and the service is quick. Located in the heart of the Main Street in Manayunk, if you want a quick grab or want to sit down for a quick bite, this is a perfect spot for those craving a delicious Vietnamese food.

This spot is located in a very cute area in Philly, right next to my nail salon. It was highly recommended by everyone in the shop. The cashier was very helpful in assisting me with choosing a drink based on my preferences. I ordered the Lychee Mojito, which was really good and refreshing. It wasn't too sweet at all, and I loved how you could control the sweetness level. This will definitely be a stop every time I get my nails done. I'm excited to go back and try more!

Oh my gosh, I love this place so much. I immediately said that we needed to bring food from my in-laws from here. I've been on a shrimp sandwich, kick lately, and this place delivered. Besides the shrimp bahn mi, we got a bulgogi beef rice bowl which was flavorful and filling. I thoroughly enjoyed my green Thai tea with full sugar (had a conversation with the staff about it and they described it as a little bitter, so to have full sugar or 75%- definitely the right call) and tapioca bubbles. We will be back!

My partner and I split one tofu Banh Mi (8/10) and each got our own drinks (10/10s!) The sandwiches are a good size, we didn't measure but probably a foot long and stuffed to the brim with yummy tofu and veggies. We each got a build-your-own drink, and while we loved them they were very expensive. It doesn't say on the board, but each add on costs at least 50 cents. Our drinks ended up costing $8 each, which we would not have ordered had we realized that. I recommend ordering one of their menu drinks and making adjustments to that instead. The vibes inside are cute, but doesn't seem like a place that loves to have dine ins. They have a counter top and two tables to eat at. Take-out and delivery seem to be there way of business. Overall, we had a good time, but spent much more money than we wanted to. For one sandwich and two drinks our total was just over $30. We'll be going back but getting the drinks already on the menu! (pictured, build-your-own milk tea with black tea, taro, brown sugar, and cold foam)

Ordered the crispy fried shrimp and lemon grass pork. Also tried 2 drinks: Purple Daze and Coconut Mango. Total was around $30. Sandwiches were great. I really liked the shrimp. They were plump too, they did not skimp on size. Flavorful and crisp. Aioli really sells it. Only had a bite of the pork one, was also very flavorful. The drinks were lacking however. Not exactly bad but just average, tasted watered down. If you prefer lighter drinks or flavor, it's for you. I like that they had a jug of water for customers to help themselves to. A small shop with about 6 tables. Service was fine, no issues and food came out quick.

Still a five-star, now with a few more menu items! Listen, I pretty much still get a banh mi every time I visit (either the classic or the fried shrimp)... I mean, why mess with perfection. However, their rice bowls are a solid addition and have helped me introduce my banh mi hesitant friends to the wonders of Mi 'N Tea. If you haven't given them a shot yet, you now have at least one more reason!

This review is mostly on the Bo kho. It did not have the yummy flavor in the broth that I was expecting. Also, the meat was not tender and a little chewy. The banh mi were tasty but could have had a little more fillings. All of the drinks were yummy. Service was good too.

Taking a stroll in the neighborhood of the side to stop by to get some bubble tea. I was surprised how fair the prices were considering how expensive it can be in this area. The boba tea came in four different sweetness levels which I think was cool. I got Thai tea cuz I'm basic. My Thai tea was pretty tasty and the large size was definitely larger than I expected. I definitely will be back to come hang out and drink some bubble tea and enjoy the plant life.

Last minute decision to go to Manayunk with the girls... NO REGRETS! Everything was delicious and freshly made. Ordered the Classic and Getting Fancy banh mi and my-oh-my, it was delightful. The bread wasn't too crispy where you would cut the roof off your mouth up. The proportion was just right. Big enough to split one hoagie into 3. We were full. The beef stew was wonderful as well. The beef was nice, tender, and juicy. The broth was packing with lots of flavor... just a hint of sweetness. I, first, ordered a cup. After a sip, I knew I had to get a bowl to go. Went back for seconds (which was a great idea). Service could use a little more friendliness by being more welcoming. The ambience is cute. FYI: this establishment is very small but they were able to utilize the spaces accordingly. Overall, we've enjoyed everything. Looking forward to going back in the near future.

Great banh mi at a reasonable price. Pretty decent bubble tea! This is my go-to banh mi place in the area, hands down. I've been going here for a while and they have super consistent and affordable banh mi. The traditional one is awesome, but the crispy chicken is to DIE for. Super well-balanced with great crisp and a really smooth, sweet sauce. Bubble tea is nothing to write home about, but I'm also probably not the best judge of it, as I usually don't like sweeter beverages. My fiance really likes the Vietnamese coffee, too! Great indoor and outdoor seating and decorations, friendly service, and a discount for using cash or venmo.

Stopped in here for late dinner with the family and was happily surprised both with the quality of the tea and food. When dealing with any foreign food, there is always the argument about authenticity. Frankly, this place is a simple place that made tasty food with good ingredients. Also, having had my share of bubble tea, this places brown sugar milk tea is on par with any Taiwanese chain I have tried. My wife already wants to go back, the next time we are in town. If you are in the area and you enjoy bubble tea or want quick, this is a solid choice.

I love bubble tea. I might be a tad biased lol but this place is great. It's got something many other bubble tea places done have, actually food. Their menu is great and the fact that you can REALLY customize your bubble tea order is awesome. I didn't get any food this time around but I'm for sure going to come back here and try some eats! The service is great. Your bubble tea comes out pretty quickly. In regards to the food I didn't see many people waiting too long for their orders. I also liked the ambiance cause it gives me small town cafe vibes. Like I can bring my laptop here drink bubble tea, do some work, have a small bite, and chill. Check this place out!

Our favorite Banh Mi shop closed down, and my wife wanted Banh Mi, so I went to yelp, and you told me to come here. You weren't wrong... My biggest issue was that I didn't get the best sandwich of the two we ordered. It used to be a universal truth that whatever I ordered was the best item. If I wanted something, but my wife thought it was better, and she ordered it, and I ordered something else or what she was going to get, whatever I got would be the best. I was wrong at Mi 'N Tea. I ordered the Crispy Chicken, which was a great Banh Mi and hit all of the marks, but that Viet Pork Skewer my wife ordered was just so good. The flavors were all there. It was so good, it went from each getting half of a sandwich to here, you can have a few bites. Viet Pork Skewer was cheaper too, but I'm not going to go back to Mi 'N Tea because I just want a banh mi. I'm going to go back to get just that Viet Pork Skewer. We also ordered Taro fries, which had good flavor. All of the food traveled well. I did not go into the establishment as we couldn't find parking, so I sent my wife in. I paid on their site, took care of the tip, and my wife had no issues getting it.

Fantastic, fresh, tasty food. Easy street parking and friendly service. We had a ban mi sandwich and a rice bowl with bulgogi beef. So enjoyable.

I am not sure what happened to this restaurant in a matter of a few months, but their quality went severely downhill. First of all, the rice bowls had very little daikon (which I love) and the same thing goes for the banh mi sandwiches. The ratio of carrots to daikon was 90:10 (way too much carrot). When I ordered these items earlier this year, the restaurant included small containers of additional daikon which I appreciated as this is one of my favorite Asian vegetables. But not so this time. And the popcorn chicken was skimpy. It only filled maybe half of the container and this time the restaurant put a bed of greens on the bottom. It was a joke! The restaurant still makes great drinks and coffees, but that alone is not enough for me to return as a customer. There are much better Vietnamese restaurants out there ....

Bubble tea and banh mi sandwiches here! I got the mango berry bbt which comes with cream foam which was yummy but when the cream gets mixed with the drink it looks weird - still tastes good though. They have a pretty large selection of drinks and different flavors and toppings you can add to it. They have a make your own bbt option also. They have banh mi sandwiches and some other sides you can order. I only got bbt here though. The inside is spacious and seems good for studying tbh (but it was kinda hot in there). Service was fast and I have no negative comments on that. Overall the vibes are chill in there!

I have looked around for good boba in Philly and this is the best place I have tried. They have a wide and interesting selection of coffee, fruit tea, and milk tea. The Thai green milk tea is so delicious with the right balance of sweetness, creaminess, and tea flavor. Their guava refresher is light and refreshing. Everything tastes authentic and homemade. I can't wait to come back for their bahn mi and more drinks!

Cute store with friendly staff, a nice setup and variety on their menu. The food sounded good but I only ended up trying a beverage because I just ate lunch. The Purple Daze is taro with green tea and boba. Good value for price but the boba pearls are too soft and taro flavor tasted more on the artificial side.

Recently met up with a friend here for lunch. I didn't come here with high expectations as I have my favorite banh mi shop and there hasn't been one that I've tried that was better but OMG the crispy tofu and shrimp banh mi were delicious. Every bite was full of flavor and well balanced. Just the right about of protein, just the right amount of viet mayo, just the right of veggies. I'd say all around perfect. Other pluses are the employees were very friendly, it's very clean inside, service was quick and parking was very easy during peak lunch hours. Can't wait to return.

Just returned for the 4th or 5th time since my last visit. Still loving the grilled chicken bowl that is GF (you cannot yet specify on the website or Door Dash that you have food allergies so I just call after I make the order). The rice bowl is consistently good and my husband loves the beef Bulgogi bowl extra spicy. My 8-yr-old happily eats the popcorn chicken and loves the Pinkburst drink with passion mfruit popping bubbles. A go-to staple in our family now for a quick meal or just for bubble tea. You can build your own or follow one of their many amazing options.

I'm on the search for a local business that sells bubble tea w/ quality bubbles. Here, I ordered a large Thai tea w/ oat milk and pearls. The oat milk base was rather watery which made me question whether they actually used oat milk, and the pearls were smaller than average and very lightly sweetened--not much flavor on their own. Thai tea flavor was strong enough though. I only discovered after ordering that the pearls and oat milk added about $1.50-2. This is because their in-store menu simply shows how to customize bubble tea--not how the toppings/customizations affect the price. So, just keep this in mind. Based on my one experience, I don't think I'd try their drinks again. They accept venmo btw

I purchased a groupon from Mi 'N and Tea and was really excited to try the bahn mi. I got the classic bahn mi which comes with cold cut meats, pork pate, mayo, carrots, cucumber, and cilantro. It was a good sandwich for the price I got it for. I also got taro fries with spicy mayo and spicy ketchup. The fries were a little sweet from the sugar and the ketchup wasn't as spicy but I like it overall. As for the drinks, I got the passion fruit sunset. The drink was really good! My favorite of all the items I got! There were so many unique and delicious drinks to select from and I can't wait to try the others. The service was good. The employee was helpful and nice. The wait time was decent.

Best Vietnamese Iced Coffee It has a great coffee shop vibe and an interesting menu.

Small little bubble tea shop that looks considerably larger inside. Service is quick and friendly. I didn't get to try the Banh mi so this will only speak about the drinks. Purple Daze: 3/5 It was ok. Not the worst drink but you can definitely tell that this was powder. That powder taste was a bit too strong in this drink making it less than desirable. Viet Latte: 4/5 Pretty solid viet latte. Not too sweet and satisfy your coffee craving. Overall: Base on the drinks it's an alright place. Hit or miss with the two drinks we got. The Banh mi selection looks appealing so an updated review will be needed when I go back and try it.

I had the brown sugar tea and the crispy chicken banh mi, and both were incredible. If I lived closer I would go here at least once a week. LOVED IT! Also, service was very friendly.

I always love mi some Vietnamese food. I got myself the 2 crispy fried shrimp sandwiches. Absolutely tasty and crispy with fresh meat and vegetables and all. Menu choices are awesome. Nice clean restaurant inside. People that work here are nice. No rude workers here. I love the vibe. I will be coming back for more food.

It's a cute little place, the decor is nice, the people are nice and it's a fun place to enjoy some coffee, tea etc. I am giving three stars because, the crispy chicken Banh Mi we got was not much of a Banh Mi, unfortunately. It was presented like one tho. Crispy chicken sandwich was more like a veggie sandwich with very thin layer of chicken that you can barely taste in the sandwich. It was not bad, just wasn't Banh Mi, it was like a salad sandwich.

Great coffee and tea spot. Simple goodness. Unique offerings. Seems to stand out from some of the chain bubble tea places in the area. Polite and yet prompt customer service. I'd go back.

Great food and drinks! I've had a banh mi bowl and sandwich style here, and they were both wonderful. I also tried a hot tea and iced lemonade drink, those were great. Staff is always friendly as well! Sitting inside to eat is nice, but the bathroom is very small.

AMAZING Food From Banh Mi to Rice Bowls The drinks are amazing and unique Great customer service good wifi with comfortable vibes!!!!

After moving to manayunk, I had been wanting to try this establishment as a fan of Vietnamese food. Today I got the lemongrass pork bahn mi, and it was incredible! Juicy delicious pork and the fillings were perfect, not too overdone. I devoured mine! 10/10 would recommend.

Quick and casual banh mi spot. The banh mi options are all nicely curated and flavorful. You can't go wrong with any one of them - my favorite is the crispy chicken one! The taro fries were super crispy and delicious. They have a sugar coating on the outside which was great if you like sweet and savory. They also have a large boba menu. There are tons of customizable options for this as well. The space is clean and there's indoor seating to accommodate small groups. It's casual in the sense that you can order/pay at the counter and they'll bring your food to you wherever you're seated. Great spot if you're keeping it casual and each person can pay for their own portion!

Had an overall great experience! This place currently offers dine-in, with even some seating outside. I loved the decor. Once you place an order, they deliver the food right to your seat. The taro fries & chips were a great twist to the traditional potato. The more I ate the chips, the more sweet they tasted. I ordered the Crispy Fried Shrimp and the shrimp they used were huge! The Bánh Mì were delicious! Be forewarned that they do come with jalapeños. My sister & I like a little bit of spice, but we were unlucky to get a few seeds in ours. That really made it especially spicy haha. We'll just be more careful next time. We wanted to try their tea drinks, which were quite tasty as well! The bubbles were cooked just al dente & the drinks were not too sweet. Highly recommend this place in Manayunk!

I first visited Mi 'N Tea for a Yelp event about a year ago, and I thought it was great! When I was in the area for a doctor's appointment last week, I thought it was the perfect time to swing by again for lunch. I ordered: -Thai Sunset: This was thai tea, cream, and cold foam, and it was DELICIOUS. I added boba which in hindsight I don't really think it needed. I usually ask for teas half sweet but it slipped my mind while I was ordering. I actually thought it was great as-is though. It was definitely very sweet and creamy, but it made for a nice treat. -Viet Pork Skewers banh mi: This was another home run. The sandwich is pretty big and I was already getting full after the first half, but I kept eating it until I was done the whole thing because it was so good! When you first unwrap the sandwich, it may look like it doesn't have that much filling, but that's just because the toppings are stuffed inside and the bread has an overhang. If you look at the cross-section you will see there is plenty of goodness inside! -Taro Fries: I love taro and I don't see it available much near me, so it was a no-brainer to add these fries on. They were hot and crisp. One thing I will say is that it seemed like the coating had a little sugar in it which I could have done without, but it was balanced out by dipping in the side of spicy mayo. Note you could also get spicy kethcup instead of mayo if you prefered. Service was great - everyone was really nice and they brought my tea out first while I was waiting for the rest of my order. I definitely recommened Mi 'N Tea and hope to be back soon!

Met up with some friends today since they've been wanting to give this place a try. I peeked at the menu ahead of time and knew I'd have a hard time making my decisions since pretty much all the sandwiches sounded good. Ended up going with the fried shrimp banh mi and the Thai It All Together drink with bubbles. Sandwich was great! Shrimp seemed freshly fried and a good size. I'm not one for mayo, but I ordered it as is and really enjoyed it. The jalapeno gave it just enough of a kick. The drink was good, though the foam kind of doesn't really incorporate well, so I ended up with quite a bit of foam just sitting there at the end. I really want to go back and try some other sandwiches.

Not sure how I don't have a rating on this yet or if my original got wiped but this place is solid. It's basically Vietnam's version of a hoagie. Made on crispier French bread that's got a harder crust to it, the meat is topped with cilantro and julienne carrots along with a Mayo or sauce at times. Crispy Chicken and the Original are great as well as the bulgogi one. The steak one is awesome too.

Absolutely superb bánh mì and boba tea - I can't recommend this place enough! I tried The Classic and the Crispy Chicken sandwiches along with a Calm Down & Perk Up boba tea. The Classic is easily one of the best bánh mì I've ever had - great bread, phenomenal ingredients, and a well-balanced combination that allowed all flavors got to shine through without one dominating the palate. Maybe more importantly, everything tasted fresh! The Crispy Chicken was an unexpected pleasure - the katsu-style fried chicken breast was absolutely amazing, especially when paired with the pickled carrots and daikon. The Calm Down & Perk up (a mixture of matcha green tea, cream, and coffee foam) was an absolute pleasure - it wasn't too sweet or too strong, and the boba were absolutely perfect. I'd eat here every day if I could!

The tofu bahn mi is so good as well as their fries, my friend also said the shrimp one was good.

I had heard this place made excellent bahn mi so I came for exactly that. I ordered the viet pork skewers bahn mi. The bread was fresh and well executed in the baguette style with a crisp exterior and soft chewy crumb. The sandwich had ample pickled vegetables, cilantro, and aioli that complemented the meat well. The pork skewers were seasoned and execute well on the grill, though could have been more charcoal/fire forward. The páte on this sandwich was a little too chunky and flavor dominant. I found it wasn't spread evenly across the bread and distracted at points during the gustatory experience. Overall this spot clearly has a good grasp on bahn mi execution. I will be back to sample other options.

Came here on a Covid Sunday. Mi N Tea is an absolute gem who is so organized that pick up is as smooth as anyplace I've been; and all of whom are navigating in the trying era. We had the Lemongrass Banh Mi and the quirkily named Bulgolgi Beef Banh Mi called a Side trip to Korea. These are FRESH. I mean just incredibly fresh veggies mixed with pickled veggies as well. The beef and pork are the stars, the Vietnamese mayo cuts through everything delightfully. We picked up and sat at a shady table and stopped talking, just taking in the mix of flavors on a terrific roll. What a treat.

I love Mi N Tea. They have my favorite bubble tea drink and my favorite shrimp bahn mi sandwich. The store is small and sits in Manayunk on Main Street. Because this is the social distancing era there is not room to sit. Ordering is easy, the staff are friendly and they get you in and out quickly. I love the Thai Sunset bubble tea. It's made perfectly!

During covid, things have to adapt and they did a great job at moving it to a call in and pick up service. Tables lined up for you to pick up your order. This was the first time we ate here. We got the banh mi with pork and lemon grass. Honestly did not taste the lemon grass at all. Either the order was wrong or they really tried to keep that flavor off the table to make it more palatable to the non ethnic taste buds. We still enjoyed it because the pork was we done and flavorful! Packed with lots of fresh herbs. We also got the taro boba's which was slightly disappointing. It's always hit or miss with taro cause it could be fresh or it could be the powder and this was clearly powder. We enjoyed our food not so much the drink. We wanted to try it out and get out of our home. Unlikely to be back but service was great and friendly. Happy eating! Stay safe and healthy out there everyone.

This place is an excellent and diverse addition to the list of restaurants on Main Street. I feel that options for bubble tea is lacking in this part of Philadelphia, but Mi 'N Tea really fills that void. Pros: - delicious Banh Mi. I have never had Banh Mi before but their foot long sandwiches were very flavorful and satisfying. Very well wrapped and easy to transport. Was not expecting to be charged extra for additional jalapenos. - good portion sizes. one sandwich is more than enough for 1 person. - the bubble tea is amazing. The Jade Elixir tastes amazing. Unfortunately, the bubble tea does not come with tapioca. It is an additional $0.50 for tapioca. - well decorated interior. implemented social distancing measures during the pandemic. - friendly staff - limited outdoor seating. Cons: - the reason why I gave this restaurant 4/5 stars because of the long wait. We placed our orders over the phone and were told that it would be ready in 15 minutes. In reality, it took about 30 minutes to prepare the chicken banh mi.

This spot was such an incredible find! I went on a Sunday afternoon, and while street parking was a terror, it was absolutely worth it. I went with a vegetarian who was pleasantly surprised with their options. I had the Side Trip to Korea, and while the spice pushed my limits, it was delicious! Their teas are fun and creative, and I look forward to going back. I found it as a soon-to-be graduate, about to leave the area, and I couldn't be more upset - I will absolutely be visiting here every time I come back to visit my alma mater!

The atmosphere was amazing. Honestly, beautiful little place. The service was wonderful; the lady who took my order was extremely kind and polite. The food was pretty good as well, however, I would ask to have less vegetables on my banh mi if I went there again. Also, I did not like the fry seasoning, but the teas were delectable.

A great addition the Main St! No longer a need to drive to Chinatown or West Philly for banh mis! They unfortunately had their grand opening during a global pandemic but they appear to have taken appropriate measures to ensure employee and customer safety. We ordered online (super easy) and went to pick up. I would say we had a small hiccup in our order (order wasn't ready when we arrived, and by the time we got back home we realized we were missing a hoagie so had to go back and wait for it to be made. Basically ended up taking one whole hour just to get our food back home), but the order was easily fixed. As for the food, I am in no way used to paying $9-12 for banh mis, but with the price comes much better quality! Bread is freshly made, meat is nice and chunky, and veggies are fresh! We ordered 4 different banh mis and 3 drinks. Honestly, they were all great, but lemongrass pork was my favorite! We also ordered the Getting Fancy filet mignon, which was quite tender, but since the whole pickup took an hour, it was quite soggy by the time we got to eat it. Will definitely be returning!

I found this place on Yelp. Came here because of the good ratings. I had a vegetarian banh mi with tofu and mushrooms. Delicious! It had fresh crunchy julienned carrots and cilantro. And a nice sauce on the crispy baked or fried tofu. I also had a mango coconut smoothie which was also great. The dining room worked out well for me-- I was able to plug in my computer and dial in for a work meeting and then I stayed and did some work on my computer without being chased away. I would definitely come back if I were in the area.

Loved it! Had the Korea sandwich with bulgogi beef and it was DIVINE. My boyfriend got the honey chicken which was also amazing-superbly cooked chicken and a lot of it. The bulgogi meat was cooked well, the sauce was flavorful, and the sandwich was fat. A bit pricey for bahn mi but it was worth it, the sandwich was super filling. We also got taro fries with a spicy aioli. They were good but kind of had the texture of calamari? Lol still good though, I loved that they were just ever so slightly sweetened. Had a milk bubble tea as well, which was just okay. Next time I would get a flavoring, so that was really my mistake there. We'll definitely be back.

Saw their Banh Mi and Bubble Tea/Coffee options on social media and had to give them a try especially because I love bubble teas! They're a little far but worth the trip. I ordered the spicy shrimp and the hubby ordered the traditional banh mi. I ordered the classic Viet iced coffee slow drip style. The shrimp is nice and spicy, so delicious and it was a huge portion. The coffee was bitter and sweet, just how I like my coffee. Next time, I want to try their other drink options and sandwich options. Give it a try if you're in the Manayunk area, or if you're not!
