One of my favorite places in Portland to get Banh Mi, and it's across the street from Bui's Tofu. Whenever I'm in the area, it's a 2 for 1 - getting two things I really enjoy! The House of Banh Mi is a cute shop with super friendly staff, and they work quick. You can easily get your order in a couple of minute and go.
Due to COVID-19, they are only limiting 3 customers in the shop at a time. Phone Orders are recommended! I called in for an order, and my order was ready to go in 10 minutes with everything still warm and fresh.
I ordered the #1 - House Special, and IT'S SO GOOD. Everything about the sandwich is perfect. The bread is light, yet being crispy and fluffy. The MAYO definitely ties the sandwich together, it's a bit salty with the right amount of creaminess and it isn't too heavy. The meats in the sandwich is so flavorful and tender, and you get a bunch of it in your sandwich. They ain't slacking with their meats. The pickled daikon and carrots adds sweetness and crunch. It wasn't over pickled either! The cucumber is a BIG THICK SLICE, and the cilantro and jalapeno didn't overpower the sandwich, but helped compliment the flavors! The PATE in this sandwich brought out the flavors of the sandwich, and honestly, I wish there was a little bit more smeared on my bread.
The Cafe Sua Da (Vietnamese Iced Coffee) - Definitely pretty standard, and good. It wasn't as sweet as I would want it, but it is definitely strong.
Another plus... Everything here is super affordable and isn't too expensive compared to other places! The menu is super easy to read, and you can easily choose something (compared to other places, where there is too many options)
