Simply Banh Mi

"Simply Banh Mi, a family-owned Vietnamese restaurant in Georgetown, has been carry-out-only for a few years. Luckily for all of us, food tastes just as good (sometimes better) eaten at home in sweats on the couch, and the sandwiches here are the perfect example. Served on a thick baguette slice, the chicken banh mi  with pickled vegetables, duck sauce, and jalapeño is packed with flavor. And since the menu includes vegetarian and halal options, it'll work well for just about everyone. Heads up: the shop is now located in the basement of the original storefront, so walk on down the steps and knock on the door to pick up your order." - omnia saed

"Not everyone can make it all the way out to Virginia for a banh mi sandwich. This Georgetown shop takes a build-an-entree approach to sandwiches, rice bowls, noodle bowls, and salad bowls. It also serves pho. The restaurant no longer offers dine-in; takeout and delivery through the website, and food can be picked up in the basement. Hours can be sporadic, so call first before ordering." - Missy Frederick

"Simply Banh Mi serves bubble tea in flavors like white peach, watermelon, and Thai tea." - Jamie Liu

"The focus of this tiny Georgetown Vietnamese jewel may be banh mi, but it also serves a strong pho. Try the lemongrass beef option. Simply Banh Mi also sells cups of broth for a light, warm pick-me-up. The shop may look closed, but it’s in the basement now. Open for takeout and delivery on most apps." - Mekita Rivas, Lisa Ruland
