Bought 2 fresh baked plain baguettes to go here for under $2. They arrived at their final destination almost 3 hours later and were still just delicately crunchy. So good dipped in chicken curry! They also sell pate chaud. The price for the banh mi seemed a little steep compared to Houston though.

I was recommended Baguette House for supposedly good banh mi. I was unfortunately let down and am still on the search for even a halfway decent banh mi in Austin. … More

Delicious crispy sandwiches. Hard to find a place here with pate and house specials. We were going to try the food trucks but ended up here. We used to pick these up and take them to San Antonio too. Very good service and quick. We will be back. Thank you! More

We got the veg bahn mi and meatballs bahn mi. We got our food quickly despite the rush and they tasted great. Evrything in the bahn mi was fresh and the bread was crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. The veg one had great flavor but the meatballs was a bit on the dry side.
Overall great fresh food for a good cheap price point. Will be back to try other stuff here

Damn near perfect, I got the 5, bbq pork banh mi. I have had stronger in flavor. But not as fresh. And of course a viet’ iced coffee, it is bold and smooth, just like its people.

Picked up the vegetarian (chay) banh mi to go, and it was delicious~~ I think the meat substitute was lemongrass seitan, really flavorful. I'd definitely come back for it again.
Next time, I'm also planning to try one of the house specials!

Food is okay for Vietnamese standards. There are a lot of people gathering in front of the store and smoking :(. The good thing is the store opens early in the morning. It's good for a quick to-go, not for dining.

Updated review: 4/4
I used to be a big fan of this place and took many of my friends here raving about it. But lately it seems like they are less appreciative of customers. Maybe because they are busier. There are several times when the girls at the front literally threw my Bánh Mi after calling my number and not even handing it to me. Another time she gotten quite short with me. I hope they improve their services despite being busier.
My old review from 2022: 5/5
“The Chick-Fil-A of Banh Mi
——————————————
I typically order the #1 and Thai Tea!
This place never disappoints. It’s always the same quality so you know what you are getting. It’s definitely not fancy or anything but great value for how much you pay.
I’m a regular here and definitely recommend it if you want to try it out.
Enjoy 😉!”

Got the grilled pork banh mi and a Vietnamese iced coffee. The coffee was delicious, but the banh mi was lacking in flavor. I got take out, and was pleasantly surprised that they gave me the veggies separately (as I had forgotten to ask for no jalapeños) so that ended up working out in my favor since I was able to omit the jalapeños! Will probably be back and try a different banh mi next time!

Ordered Thai iced tea w/ tapioca. There was too much ice in the drink and the tapioca was all stuck together in chunks by the time I got home. The bread on the house special banh mi was good, but the meat was not very good :( The bao wasn’t very good either…even when heated up. Not sure I’ll be back. More

I’ve been to Vietnam and this place is the closest I’ve had to a real authentic banh mi. It’s because they bake their own bread and the right bread is critical for a great banh mi sandwich. It must be a legit Vietnamese baguette. Not a … More

The Vietnamese coffee was an awkward texture grainy but the flavor was good. It didn’t taste watered down like the other places I’ve been to. A good banh mi without paying $15 at a restaurant. I will 100% be coming back here! More
