Banh Mi ETC is a solid go-to for Vietnamese comfort food in Houston, especially if you’re looking for something quick, flavorful, and reasonably priced during the workday. There’s plenty of free parking in the shared lot, which makes stopping by super convenient.
Inside, the space is clean with ample seating, making it easy to dine in without feeling cramped. My usual order is the Grilled Chicken Rice Plate–tender, well-seasoned chicken served with pickled carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes, green onions, and a perfectly runny egg. Add a splash of the fish sauce on top, and you’ve got a satisfying, well-balanced meal for just $12.65.
They’ve got a wide menu with everything from banh mi sandwiches and vermicelli bowls to bubble tea, so there’s something for everyone. Service is generally fast and efficient, making it a great lunch option if you’re in the area. Would definitely recommend for a casual bite!

First time going to Banh Mi baguette & tapioca on such a chilly day with such a friendly greeting with pleasant vibe, with modern touch all around with such prodigious menu creativity chalk artwork.
The food alone itself is delicious very presentable the B3 The Special can’t go wrong with it, the baguette was toasty, stuffed with its contents and the Thai Tea sweet how its supposed to be
Would come here again, bring the gang nor family.

Good Viet style sandwiches. They also offer classic rice dishes and spring rolls. Boba tea also available. Friendly service and never had a bad meal from them!

The lemongrass beef is a hit! This spot is great for a not-too-heavy lunch but it is a little on the pricey side. I ordered the lemongrass beef rice plate and a honey-lemon green tea and paid about $20.
If you are in the area, definitely check it out!

Had the lemon grass beef and two sandwiches. Very yummy. Beef was tender and full of flavor. The owners are very nice. Very clean environment as well. Highly recommended. For a Vietnamese shop outside of Chinatown to serve such amazing food is a rarity. Definitely will visit again.

A decent, fast moving, and busy location. Line moved rapidly, food was served fast. My friend’s 1st experience with Banh Mi, and he was not disappointed. Excellent Lemon Grass and Pork Banh Mi sandwiches. With numerous Vietnamese Tea and coffee options to choose from. Definitely will be back!

I ordered the pork vermicelli, hold the onions (I have severe allergies and you can actually see them in the picture I included). It came with onions; literally, the only special thing I asked for. There was a lot of pork, but hardly any noodles. It was also missing bean sprouts – when I asked, they told me they were out. It comes with spring rolls – no option for it without due to the small menu size (it seems they specialize in Vietnamese Subs).
The food quality was fair, just shy of being good. Despite the fact that I can walk to this location, I will look further afield for a place that focuses on quality and customer service.
Finally, I had (tap) water to drink and was pretty shocked when they handed it to me in a big Styrofoam cup. To me, that says both “we don’t care about the environment” and “we do whatever is cheapest to maximize profit” – I’m not big fans of either attitude.

TLDR: Great Banh mi, well seasoned, and dank Viet coffee.
Ate here at May 21 2022, great place like all the other reviews stated.
Food: Solid Vietnamese food choices like Banh mi, vermicelli bowls, and rice plates. Banh mi goes for 5$ so slightly higher than china town, but well worth the price. Vermicelli was solid. Vietnamese coffee was strong and great.
Restaurant is clean and service was order at the counter nice.

Tucked into a strip mall by West and Hwy 8, this new modern Vietnamese restaurant has a modern and cool vibe and their food is delicious! Stopped by during a weekday for lunch. Was greeted by friendly employees at counter, a pretty filled restaurant and a large menu. Went for the grilled pork vermicelli bowl to go. Very fast service, under 14 minutes, didn’t count exactly. The pork tasted like it was char grilled minutes earlier. Everything was a perfect balance of sauce, protein and veggies. Co workers all mentioned how good it smells. Loved that you get a full fried egg roll too. Definitely coming back!
