Delicious chicken BanhMi and fresh spring rolls. (Pork&shrimp) The peanut sauce is a bit too thick for me. Service was quicker than I expected.

A bit pricey, but great Vietnamese sandwiches. Amongst the best in the city! Don't be fooled by the hole in the wall location, these are great sandwiches.

Best damn banh mi sandwiches on the planet. The first time here I ordered the grilled pork banh mi. it was utterly Amazing! The pork was seasoned perfectly, and grilled just right. The vegetables were fresh and crisp. The sauce had a perfect zing. The bread was perfectly toasted. I spent the next few days sleepless, wondering what all the other flavors would taste like..... 3 days later, I went back. my curiosity got the best of me this time I ordered two grilled pork banh mi, one spicy tuna banh mi, and one shaking beef banh mi. Why so many sandwiches? Might you ask.....because I had to. There was no questioning about it..... I began by indulging into the first grilled pork, just to revisit my youth when I first tried it... and there I was, instantly feeling 3 days younger. It was like I found a fountain of youth! It was amazing! I gave myself a few minutes rest before I tried the next one. So you wonder which one I went with next huh? Of course the spicy tuna. The ice cold tuna salad, the demonic spice of the sauce and jalapeños, the perfectly toasted bread the perfect combination to create heaven and hell in my mouth all at one time. I truly had an out of body experience. Once again, I gave myself a few minutes before I tried the shaking beef banh mi. There are not enough adjectives in the dictionary to explain this sandwich. You will just have to experience for yourself. Don't get me wrong, I did finish off that last grilled pork banh mi for old times sake...... I am definitely going back to try some more.

Great Banh Mi’s… let’s start with that!I ordered “The Special” before having to report for Jury duty to get a quick bite in. I have to say that this sandwich is SPECIAL and I honestly wish I had an extra 10 minutes to savor every bite!As for service, it was quick and friendly, as you’d expect from a hole-in-the- wall joint.If you find yourself at the Hall of Justice or nearby and have a hankering for a solid Banh Mi, look no further!

I stopped in curious about the restaurants name and hungry for a sandwich. I got the Grilled Chicken sandwich and a Spicy Tuna Sandwich. I was greeted promptly by friendly staff. BE ADVISED that the Sandwiches I had at this location had spicy ingredients and jalapeños. It was very delicious but be aware they automatically add heat to the sandwich if that isn't your thing. It was a great sandwich and Can Recommend this location for quality food.Vegetarian options: Very healthy restaurant, vegetarian options available upon requestParking: Be prepared for extreme limited parking, during your visit. However, it's located on a side road so you can get away with temporary 4 ways flashing emergency parking.Kid-friendliness: The food is complex flavor combinations and not geared for children.Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant is on the ground floor and very wheelchair accessible. However, no blue curbs near this location.

Amazing sandwiches and great vegetarian options. This location doesn't have seating. Come at 11:30 if you want to avoid the lunch rush.

Visited the Ocean Ave location and did not have the best experience nor food however this location was really good. Hole in the wall location across from Hall of Justice. Really small inside and no place to sit but service was good, turnaround was fast and prices are reasonable. Tough to find parking unless you double park but well worth the visit. Bahnmi was really good and bread was crunchy yet soft inside.

I came across this banh mi sandwich place near the Bryant courthouse. The place is pretty small, basically just a counter to order.The cashier was pretty nice. I had "The Special" which has slow roasted pork, fancy pork loaf, and pate. They also had pickled carrots and diakon, mayo, cucumber, cilantro, and jalapeno. I skipped the jalapeno. I thought the taste was okay. The pickled carrots and diakon were a little too sour. But if you like the sour flavor, you may want to try.It's located through on of alleys near the Bryant Courthouse.
Like it because it's conveniently close to work but staff aren't friendly. I like the spring rolls.. not traditional Vietnamese but it gets the job done. The apple slices in the middle are *chef's kiss* a nice touch. Drinks are pretty good-- avocado shake is my favorite.

I come here often and get the chicken banh mi. It never disappoints! The bread is fresh and chicken always tasty. The staff is friendly and not a long wait time.

I went through a spiritual experience eating "The Special". Absolutely phenomenal sandwich. A bit pricey but that's just SF.

Would give ten stars if I could. Great sandwich. Was a small gem I was lucky to discover thanks to jury duty. Will be back!

Only had there Vietnamese ice cofffee. Really strong but good taste. Bear with the wait time they are a little short staffed but it's fine I had jury duty.
