      Multiple vegetarian Bahn Mi option (plus they use a vegan mayo!)--some tasty spring roll options too!

      Ooh, and get a delicious watermelon leechee smoothie to complement your meal. You'll thank me later.

      You can easily tell how good their sandwiches are by the line that forms in front, so go early or call ahead, but I know you won't be disappointed with anything you order (note: I've only tried the vegetarian options, but I'd assume the rest of their menu is good as well.) enjoy!

      I was never a huge fan of Vietnamese sandwiches until I tried this place. Their bread is so soft! Theres usually always a line when I come but it's definitely worth the wait. The building is small so you order and pickup at the same window. There's some chairs and tables off to the side of the business where you can enjoy your sandwiches.

      I came across this banh mi sandwich place near the Bryant courthouse.

      The place is pretty small, basically just a counter to order.

      The cashier was pretty nice.

      I had "The Special" which has slow roasted pork, fancy pork loaf, and pate. They also had pickled carrots and diakon, mayo, cucumber, cilantro, and jalapeno. I skipped the jalapeno. I thought the taste was okay. The pickled carrots and diakon were a little too sour. But if you like the sour flavor, you may want to try.

      It's located through on of alleys near the Bryant Courthouse.

      Delicious chicken BanhMi and fresh spring rolls. (Pork&shrimp) The peanut sauce is a bit too thick for me. Service was quicker than I expected.

      Great Banh Mi's... let's start with that!

      I ordered "The Special" before having to report for Jury duty to get a quick bite in. I have to say that this sandwich is SPECIAL and I honestly wish I had an extra 10 minutes to savor every bite!

      As for service, it was quick and friendly, as you'd expect from a hole-in-the- wall joint.

      If you find yourself at the Hall of Justice or nearby and have a hankering for a solid Banh Mi, look no further!

      Best damn banh mi sandwiches on the planet. The first time here I ordered the grilled pork banh mi. it was utterly Amazing! The pork was seasoned perfectly, and grilled just right. The vegetables were fresh and crisp. The sauce had a perfect zing. The bread was perfectly toasted. I spent the next few days sleepless, wondering what all the other flavors would taste like.....

      3 days later, I went back. my curiosity got the best of me this time I ordered two grilled pork banh mi, one spicy tuna banh mi, and one shaking beef banh mi.

      Why so many sandwiches? Might you ask.....because I had to.
      There was no questioning about it.....

      I began by indulging into the first grilled pork, just to revisit my youth when I first tried it... and there I was, instantly feeling 3 days younger. It was like I found a fountain of youth! It was amazing! I gave myself a few minutes rest before I tried the next one. So you wonder which one I went with next huh? Of course the spicy tuna. The ice cold tuna salad, the demonic spice of the sauce and jalapeños, the perfectly toasted bread the perfect combination to create heaven and hell in my mouth all at one time. I truly had an out of body experience.
      Once again, I gave myself a few minutes before I tried the shaking beef banh mi. There are not enough adjectives in the dictionary to explain this sandwich. You will just have to experience for yourself. Don't get me wrong, I did finish off that last grilled pork banh mi for old times sake......
      I am definitely going back to try some more.

      i had the shaky beef sandwich which was great and lots of depth of flavor, could've used more jalapeños. the bread also cut up the inside of my mouth.

      Food came quick, but the sandwich itself (the portobello one) was a bit dry and didn't contain much flavour.

      Visited the Ocean Ave location and did not have the best experience nor food however this location was really good. Hole in the wall location across from Hall of Justice. Really small inside and no place to sit but service was good, turnaround was fast and prices are reasonable. Tough to find parking unless you double park but well worth the visit. Bahnmi was really good and bread was crunchy yet soft inside.
