Update review: I tried their vermicelli, it was sooooooooo delicious! The egg rolls are crunchy outside and soft & flavorful inside. The bbq pork is delicious as well. I a hundred percent recommend it. My husband had a big beef lemongrass baguette sandwich. It was so big but he finished it.

Great friendly service. Get the fried rice – it’s a banger! The Bahn mi sandwiches could stand to have a little more meat. Other than that – it’s great

Ordered take out for the first time here. The bbq pork bahn mi was decent and affordable, the baguette was pretty good and you could tell it was baked fresh or few hours ago. The disappointment was the bowl(Cajun shrimp bowl) . It was pricey for what it came with. The shrimp was dry, rubbery and very few in the bowl. The bowl was mostly vermicelli, I would not recommend the bowl at all .

I’ve been coming to this place for years. Hands down the best Banh Mi sandwiches and baguette bread. I love all their other snacks too. The lovely lady who has been running the front counter for years is always so friendly and polite. She’s a breath of fresh air in a world where customer service is lacking. My favorite is the bbq pork banh mi with pate added and a Thai tea to go with it.

I got the tofu bahn mi and the tofu spring rolls, definitely enjoyed the bahn mi but the spring rolls? Not so much— I actually almost choked on the rice paper wrapping and find it really bland without the sauce. But, it is pretty good if you’re on a budget. I also got avocado shake and I didn’t really love it, so I’d recommend not getting one.

Good Bahn Mi’s at a good price! Vietnamese coffee is pretty good as well as the vermicelli bowls. Just a nice mom and pop shop it feels like, definitely support local businesses!

I love banh mi, but the banh mi here was sub-par. The baguette was not fresh and soggy. Worst of all, the customer service. The lady at the cashier was condescending. I watched her treat me and a guy after me with a not so friendly demeanor. I will take my money somewhere else.
