I am glad to report that this bahn mi was surprisingly good – and that starts with the bread. This baguette was excellent. A lot of times you run into the issue where the bread is too hard and too chewy, but they did a great job here making it fresh. This felt crunchy and flaky on the outside, but surprisingly soft on the inside.
The ratio of the toppings was also very nice. The mayo was spread well and creamy, and the vegetables added up to taste pretty good.
The pork was a little less good. While the portion size was decent, this just felt way too dry – like it had been sitting out for a while. The whole sandwich could’ve been really good if this had been better
Dipping this in the pho was super cool though. While a little messy, the wetness softened up the bread and added a unique flavor I really liked.
For the price of around $17, to get a bahn mi + a decent sized cup of pho is actually a good deal. It’s not a huge sandwich, but it gets the job done
Overall, I think this is an above average bahn mi, but nothing crazy. 7.75/10
Edit:
Called the restaurant asking for a refund and was only met with “Oh okay” and then the phone hanging up. No apology at all. Would give this place -5 if possible.
I will definitely visit again ❤️
They should probably open earlier to give them time to actually prep.
They try, but the location and resources arent setting them up for success
I got the chicken banh mi and the pork spring rolls. Both were awesome! The banh mi especially was great. The bread was nice and crusty, and the chicken tasted great. I would definitely come back if I stayed in the same hotel again!
Unfortunately, it just seems bland at this point. Really disappointing broth on both of ours. My wife also found the meat to be chewy in hers.
This location is basically a take out counter, so I won’t weigh in on service or atmosphere. The order was ready on a timely basis.
One of our other favorite places for pho in Belltown area shut down during the pandemic, so hate to say it, but will likely be doing delivery from a better pho place in another neighborhood down the line.
My spouse and I ordered the Tofu Banh Mi and the Combo Pho with veggies, brisket, and meatballs. Bo vien is not usually my first choice, but my childhood best friend was Vietnamese and they can feel nostalgic. I felt confident. Excited even.
The portions were good! A decent amount of meat and veggies, lots of herbs, and a hefty amount of noodles. Cute logo, impressive packaging too. Stylish.
But it fails on substance. The banh mi was dry and too light on the veggies compared to other places. The tofu marinade is too sweet, and the broth is much too salty. We ending up trading our meals. We just could no longer bear how intolerably sweet / salty the food became with every bite. We tried to balance the salt with limes we had. Even then, we didn’t finish the pho.
Maybe this is harsh, but there are so many good pho options in the city. Go there instead.
I ordered for a specific pickup time (1 hour later) because I’m sick and wanted fresh, hot soup ready when I arrived. Instead, I got notified 45 minutes early that my order was ready—completely defeating the purpose of scheduling ahead.
I tried calling multiple times to address this. No answer. I sent a chat message. No response.
Now I’m faced with a crappy choice either way: pick up cold, hour-old soup, or show up at my scheduled time and wait (while sick and potentially spreading germs to others) hoping they’ll remake it fresh.
This experience turned what should have been convenient into stressful and time-consuming. The online ordering system promised efficiency but delivered the opposite. For someone ordering ahead specifically because they’re unwell, this failure hit especially hard.
