If you're REALLY craving banh mi, I say go for it. However, be prepared that even if you're the only party ordering and the line picks up, expect a 20-30 minute wait. They have a large variety of banh mi and traditional Vietnamese drinks that they do specials on (e.g. buy 3, get 1 free drinks; buy 5, get 1 free banh mi). The quality is just as expected for a banh mi - no more, no less. They also serve to-go items by the register, like bread rolls and rice dumplings. If you're not eating your sandwiches right away, be sure to ask for your veggies on the side or else your food get soggy by the time you decide to eat. Decent options, not a fan of the wait time. When I went, I had a friendly staff member that spoke Vietnamese (I think it helps if you have someone in your party that speaks their language!).

The food quality is mid tier. It's very average banh mi and snacks. The service is absolutely atrocious. They'll charge under any possible scenario. I asked for a receipt and they charged an extra $.50!! Just save yourself the trouble and don't go here.

I rarely rate an establishment this poorly, but the customer service, or lack thereof, was appalling. I walked in hoping to get a Boba, but no one was available to assist. I walked around to see what the store had to offer, and if anything would pop out at me. There were several people preparing food, I assume, they weren't there to assist visitors. I then went back to the side where the smoothies and Boba were prepared, after waiting for seven minutes, I only received a hello, and that came with no offered help. I walked out. In this case, the poor customer service sent me into the arms of GREAT customer service. Bambu.

My family used to love this place a lot when we moved to the DFW area because it reminds us to the mom and pop shop vibe in California. In the last year, their banh mi became more and more industrialized. They kept raising their prices, but the overall quality has gone down significantly. Their banh mi prices are as competitive as LA prices, if not more than Orange County (which I can relate to because of Covid), but if their overall quality isn't the same then it is a no-no. My mom and I came to get our usual, banh mi cha lua, but the meat was super cold and watery. Avoid at all cost, you might as well drive a little further out to make your money worth. Quite disappointed on how they capitalized on the fact that more and more "non-Asian" are visiting the area to raise their prices to the ceiling assuming that they wouldn't know the usual cost of banh mi.

Wow, for $5.50 a banh mi I would expect my sandwich to be filled with meat. It was so skimpy and the meat that makes the sandwich "dat biet" (special) wasn't it. Service of course it's typically for a Tuesday afternoon meaning as not busy as they were they could've been attentive. Unfortunately, I will not be coming back and stick to usual and make the extra drive.

The shopping center is a vibe & this restaurant is in a great location. The staff was so nice (looked like only 2 people working). My sandwich was prepared fresh and the meat itself wasn't that flavorful but when you put everything together it works.

First time at Banh Mi Number 1. I ordered a blueberry smoothie....oh my goodness what great flavor! Next time I will order it without the boba. I thought the smoothie was so good and would be great without boba. I also got the grilled pork banh mi and the grilled chicken banh mi and took it to go. The pork banh mi was delicious!! It had great flavor! I can hardly wait to try the grilled chicken!

I ordered #18 and there was a disappointing amount of chicken on it let alone the percentage of skin & fat. On a positive note, the veggies were fresh.

Besides serving banh mi, this place serves as a local bakery of sorts! I noticed a lot of other customers were buying items in bulk and likely taking advantage of several deals. Now, I only tried the banh mi (specifically the Vietnamese meatball) so I can most speak to that. It was very very flavorful - and not too dry nor soggy. It also seems like the staff is very helpful and will explain things if you're not familiar with some of the items.However, I have to dock 1 star for because 1) I felt like the prices for banh mi were a bit expensive. I was extremely hungry when I went so I didn't mind spending the money, but I don't think the quality is that above other places to justify the price. As well was 2) they don't seem to be attentive to calling out when orders are ready - my friend and I had to go up after a while to ask about our orders, and it turns out they'd been ready for a while. It could be, as one review speculates, bc they do call out numbers in Viet.
