Best bahn mi in Vegas! My go to is a grilled pork bahn mi with pate and a Vietnamese coffee! Their Vietnamese coffee is so strong! Don't have doubts when you see how little it may look in the cup full of ice because it is STRONG! Inside, there is a fridge full of drinks and desserts and a front display case full of Vietnamese food and treats! There are about 3 tables inside, it's definitely more of a spot to just get your sandwich to go. You know it's legit when all the OGs are there. Definitely a must go to when craving a bahn mi!!
My friend and I were looking for banh mi that had crispy bread and this one was great. Got two special combinations, as well as other things in their deli (sweetened rice cakes, rice noodles and pork meat loaf. Much better than other banh mi's
My favorite banh mi joint in LV! The banh mi is so light and crispy, and the price is just right- pay in cash for discount. Small little place with banh mi and some hot food offerings. The old man at the cashier is so funny, making the experience easy going and quick. Banh mi dac biet and banh mi thit nuong is my go to!! Highly recommended
This is an unabashed hole-in-the-wall and you should definitely check it out. Probably the best banh mi in Vegas, and it's only $6 47 a sandwich (as of this review). They also offer a free sandwich if you buy 5, but it's not advertised. The banh mi has a good amount of meat, decent amount of veg, and tender yet crunchy bread. I recommend asking for extra veg, but it's still good with the regular amount. The banh Bao is also good, but pricey at $5 for one, same goes for the fresh spring rolls. They have a coconut desert that has coconut water, cream, and meat that's worth trying too.
Been here many times but I guess I have not written a review about it (I thought I did, lol). Well, here is my overdue review of this little shop: It has been about 2 yrs since I was last here. Not because it wasn't good but I had to change my diet for a while for health reasons. Anyway, now that I can eat "normally" again and not have to watch my diet, I was craving banh mi and thought I'd come here for lunch. Here are my thoughts: 1. The sandwiches are still reasonably priced and not outrageously expensive like $10. It is $6.50 for 1 (rounding up). (I sure miss the old days when you can get them for as low as $3.50 lol) 2. the sandwiches are still good but they changed their bread. I was disappointed at first that it wasn't the little fat baguettes like a typical banh mi but more like Lee's type of shape which is narrow and long. BUT I was happy again once I bit into the crunchy bread. The shape may have changed but crunch and ratio of crust the bread (aka the middle part) is solidly portioned perfect. 3. The flavors are still there, still delicious as I remembered! PLUS, I love that they didn't put so much pate or mayo to make it mushy. It had the usual banh mi gooodness but not overly done with the wet ingredients (mayo and pate). You can taste the headcheese and the typical banh mi cold cuts, the pickled daikon and carrots, cilantro and slices of jalapeño. Every bite was delicious (we got the Dac Biet, which is #1 on the menu) 4. They added some more side items in the display glass next to the counter. I remember that from before but it seems they added more items. We didnt want to go crazy cuz we wanted to save the space for the sandwiches so we got the sesame balls (one of the best we have had!) and the baked pandan cake which I love and it was good. As far as the wait: We placed our orders and it took, maybe, 5 minutes. We got lucky with the timing cuz there were 2 large orders in front of us (5 and 10 sandwiches!) and outs came out very quickly. We came on a Sunday around 12:30-ish. I wish they have 2 things though: 1. Xa xiu pork cuz I love it (I think they used to) 2. They used to give you a free one if you order 4 or 5. I didn't see any signs that advertised that now. Overall, solid banh mi, delicious flavors, I will return again soon!
