Went for lunch with a friend. The shop is in a non-descript house-front. We ordered at a counter window. The lady was curt but courteous. She makes one kind of bahn mi. It was really good. The bread was crusty and warm. The various meats paired well with the pate and pickles. The flavors were strong and balanced. The price was reasonable for the size of the sandwich. Recommended. I’ll return.

I’ve had a lot of Bahn-mis and this is up there with the best. Veggies are fresh, perfect little kick from some thinly sliced jalapeño, bread was crispy on the outside and soft in the middle. You know it’s gonna be good when it’s someone serving them from a kitchen connected to their home. $4 per is a steal. Cash only, took 15 minutes to have them made and there’s a cool fish tank to look at while you wait! <3 <3

It’s hard to find good bánh mì in Iowa, but this place nails it. The bread is fresh and perfectly crusty, the fillings are flavorful and authentic, and every bite tastes like the real deal. You can tell they put care into balancing all the flavors and textures just right. Definitely worth the trip if you’re craving an authentic bánh mì experience.

A true gem of Des Moines. Rivals banh mi I’ve had in New York City. $6 for two sandwiches, you can’t beat it. Support this business

This is my family’s go-to spot for banh mi. As others have mentioned, 1 type of banh mi, and it is the cold cut – very delicious and affordable at $4.75 each (doesn’t get much cheaper or tastier than this, folks)! In fact, I’d go as far to say it is the best in Iowa! At someone’s house, service is very friendly, cash only, call ahead to place your order, especially if you are ordering many. Highly recommended!

It’s best to order ahead by phone. Only takes cash. Only one option I think (Vietnamese cold cuts). But hands down the best banh mi in Des Moines. Price is good too!

This place is great! I was brought here years ago and came back to get some sandwiches, and they never disappoint. The gentleman who helped me was very friendly and welcoming. I will definitely be back again.

Very interesting location, right out of a residential home. Service is very fast and simple. No menu needed, I just asked for “one banh mi” and that was it.
$4.00 per sandwich is such a great deal too. And it was a really good banh mi.
Do remember that it is cash only and take out only. Do check this place out, but be respectful as it is a home as well. Highly recommend!
