Banh Mi City

just wow.. this spicy chicken rice salad bowl is the best bowl i've ever had hands down, every time i took a bite the different flavors exploded in my mouth and each time i had a bite the cucumbers and carrots refreshed me so well and the proportions.... don't get me started on the proportions, they are worth your buck. at first i thought i made a mistake and ordered the wrong bowl but no.. that bowl as all mine ! and not mention the atmosphere was very pleasing and not overwhelming like some places.. THE VIETNAMESE COFFEE.. wow you can taste the authenticity..... you will definitely see me here again !

Hello Yelpers,Well yesterday the Mrs & I stop in after a nice bike ride. The place is very clean, nice casual seating & The staff is very friendly. My wife and I both ordered The chicken Pho & we shared an order of shrimp spring rolls. The Shrimp Spring rolls very very fresh! Delicious!! Although they didn't have any cucumber in them. Maybe theirs doesn't come with cucumber. They come with a peanut dipping sauce, which I liked but my wife didn't like. A solid 8.5/10The Chicken Pho comes in a huge serving! Once again VERY FRESH! this was our first time having Pho so we didn't know what to expect. I was expecting the broth to have more depth to it. But it was still very flavorful. The chicken was shredded and so tender. The noodles were cooked perfectly! Great experience for the first time. Solid 9/10! We will definitely return! The service was inviting also! Prices are competitively reasonable. I'm give them a cool 8.7/10.(Remember all reviews are subjective)

Got a DoorDash order of original pho and pork spring rolls. It feels like I received food that was about to go bad.The food was underwhelming. Nothing was fresh. The beef was decent, but the broth was not super flavorful, The noodles were super pasty and wouldn't pull apart, the sprouts tasted vinegary/sour. the spring rolls were busted open, the pork and veggies in the roll tasted old, and peanut sauce was watery with a spoiled taste. The lime didn't even have any juice. Even the fortune cookie was stale.Positive note, I called Bahn Mi City to report the issue with the spring rolls and the customer service was excellent. The person who answered the phone was extremely professional and kind when telling me they couldn't do anything to help me and that my only option would be to come in and pick up the a replacement of spring rolls, hence the 2 star rating. To keep it transparent when I called Banh Mi city I was initially only concerned about the spring rolls beings that was the only item I had opened at the time. I didn't realize the order of food was so bad until I open the food 1/2 hour later.

So, my boyfriend and I stumbled upon Banh Mi City on a chilly day when we were both craving something to warm our souls. We decided to go for the brisket pho and also split a Saigon banh mi because, you know, sharing is caring!Let me tell you, the portions of the pho were no joke. They were massive and seriously filling. And that broth? Oh man, it was bursting with flavor! It warmed us up from the inside out, exactly what we needed.Now, onto the banh mi. It was surprisingly good! We weren't expecting to find such a gem for pho and banh mi in this area. Definitely a pleasant surprise!One thing to note though, there aren't a ton of tables, so it seems more like a spot for grabbing your grub to go. But hey, that didn't bother us much because the food was worth it.Overall, we'd totally come back here for another fix of pho and banh mi goodness. If you're in the area and looking for a tasty Vietnamese spot, give Banh Mi City a shot!

Great affordable Vietnamese Pho and sandwiches' in Pilsen, who would have guessed a hidden gem. Stopped in to give them a try and the food is decent. I got the beef brisket Pho which as you can see in the picture, there is a lot of meat in the soup. You can pay with card or cash no discount with cash. Easy process - Order and find a seat. The food came very quick. Highly recommend if you are tired of eating taco's - Pho is good for you.

Came across Banh Mi City while walking down 18th.The ambiance isn't anything special, but the establishment was clean and that's all I really care about besides the food being delicious.The food...Very delicious! The spring roll was fresh, filling, and really stood out due to the quality of the bbq pork. I ordered the grilled beef Bahn Mi with egg + avocado and it was the best Bahn mi that I've ever had (admittedly limited exposure). The baguette was super fresh, soft on the inside, and crispy on the outside. The meat was seasoned well, was tender, and was generously proportioned. The fresh produce on the sandwich really brings it all together. Next time I'd probably order extra jalapeño, but that's just me. I was surprised by the size of the sandwich as it was the biggest Bahn mi that I've ever had; however, it's well deserved considering it was $12.50 w/egg+avocado.The service was minimal, but acceptable. I highly recommend checking Bahn Mi City out the next time that you're in pilsen.

Service was great (5/5) but I do not believe that this place is authentic (so they get 2 stars). There were several factors that lead me to this conclusion. 1). My Phô was served in a ramen bowl.2). My Phô came out dressed already. I've been to a few Phô restaurants and NEVER did the Basil, Lime, Onion, and Jalapeños come in the dish already.3). It lacked flavor. I'm someone that usually drinks all of my broth, but this broth was very mid, so I didn't take it with me. Overall I will not return because I want an authentic dish, but the service is amazing 5/5.

I ordered 2 banh mi sandwiches and a lemonade, I was surprised that it was run by a non Vietnamese person. It wasn't bad, the only thing I had a question about was the bread. Don't think that it was an authentic Vietnamese baguette .

delicious delicious delicious!!! So fresh and yummy i would definitely recommend. I added scrambled egg and it was perfect. I want to try the spring rolls next

Great food and service all around!! will definitely come back! anytime you are in the Chicago east area go ahead and give it a try ... you will certainly enjoy the whole vietnamese experience ... prices also on the right side ...
