Fresh fruit tea actually had fresh fruit in it!! It was delicious!! I ordered a grilled chicken and bbq pork belly Bahh mi for my son and I and it was sooooo delicious!!! The bread wasn’t hard, they were generous with the pickled vegetables (which I love and a lot of places doesn’t give enough!!!) meat was moist and fresh and overall just loved my first experience here. I will be a frequent customer here
super excited to see a banh mi shop near my parents house but was ultimately a bit disappointed. Service was excellent and food was ready for pickup and hot. However for the food itself: The meat is a bit salty, not a lot of pate, tiny slivers of peppers, baguettes not quite fresh compared to places in south seattle. But, i love supporting small businesses especially in the neighborhood i grew up in. I bet this strip mall will be torn down in a year or two… support them and tip well!
Hello Banh Mi, meet Mr Tasty! When you first pick up a footlong for your first bite, you almost want to say, "Well helll-loooo banh mi." This place is legit. I've had three different banh mi sandwiches now, so time for a review. All have been excellent. The bread is clearly fresh with a perfect crust. I have to tape measure next time because I'm pretty sure their footlong is more than 12-inches long. It's been so long since I've ordered a banh mi with shredded chicken I forgot that means it's shredded to a fine hair. Chicken tasted great just not a fan of that style. Again it Tasted great with a nice flavor. But my tried and true bbq pork belly was fantastic.Lessons learned: any banh mi place serving the typical 6-8 inch isn't quite enough. Nice to have a footlong option. get footlong! I like veggies. Sandwich is really good with no extras but I like a thick sandwich. Get extra veggies, they could pickle them just a bit longer. I'm not sure what sauces come by default but be sure to ask for siracha and hoisin. If you are taking it to go but not home, make sure you get something to spread the sauces on the sandwich or you'll be bumming and have to use your finger (which really isn't that bad, simply dip, swipe, lick, clean). After all, you're using your hands to eat it right? :) I haven't felt a need for extra meat and veggies but if you do. That will make it two meals for a normal person, ASSUMING one person can refrain from eating it all in one seating. One visit I got it at lunch time but didn't eat it until dinner. Sandwich was still in great shape. Bread still crispy crust, not soggy in middle. Probably because most of the liquids you put on yourself when you're ready to eat it.Service: place is run by some young, very well mannered kids. It's refreshing to see gen "young" treat people with an honest mutual respect. This place will get busier and busier I hope they don't explode.Parking: non issue.Granted I've never been to Vietnam, but I've been working in pioneer square for over 20 years. I've had my share of banh mi's walking to China town and on occasion to Vietnam town. I have a good base to compare.
Delicious food! Fast and friendly service! I ordered the lemongrass chicken sandwich, and the flavors and freshness were amazing. Also had the tropical smoothie & requested no sugar added. It was also delicious & definitely didn't need sugar. Really tasted more like sherbet than a smoothie. The menu says 100% fruit smoothie, but it has milk and sugar added unless you request otherwise. Just FYI. I am looking forward to returning. So glad they're in my neighborhood!
Got the barbecue house special. Best Banh Mi I’ve ever had! I will be back for sure!
Very good bbq pork belly banh mi! Will be coming back to try more combinations!
Super friendly and helpful. Bread was great. Love the side of pho. Definitely will be back when I'm in the area. Lemongrass beef my favorite so far. Bubble tea 5 stars.
I went there to buy a sandwich, the staff are very friendly, place is clean, and the food was fresh. The lady made me a really good hot Vietnamese coffee. Everything was great!
Hello Banh Mi offers the freshest food in Seattle. Afoot long of deliciousness only costs $8.50. I eat here 3-5 times a week. The location couldn't be more spotless nor could the people working here be more helpful and polite. I love banh mi and have eaten sandwiches everywhere. This is by far the best I have ever had. The bread is so soft and all the vegetables are crispy and fresh. I feel healthier even when I am parking to go in and order.My favorites include chicken/beef lemongrass or Vietnamese dip with extra vegetables. I have noticed that the super sweet people working here eat the bbq pork belly when they are on their lunch so I am sure I will try that sandwich next. HBM also makes tons of tasty-looking drinks. I am going to try a few of the more exotic ones this next week.
The sandwiches are awesome, staff is friendly, and that bread is to die for. Take your sandwich to the next level by getting Pho broth for dipping.
