Banh Mi Ok

This spot has been on my list for awhile and I finally tried it on a rainy lunch day.S4. BBQ Pork Banh Mi - the baguette is so pillowy and crackly. One of the best banh mi baguettes I've had. The pork was tender and seasoned well. The pickled carrots and daikon added a nice crunch and texture. The jalapeño added much needed heat. If you pay with card, there is a service fee which I didn't realize until I looked at the receipt after I left. Bring cash!

Banh Mi Ok is a cozy, small establishment with kind and friendly staff workers who were very attentive. We ordered Thai milk tea and banh mi -- both solid choices.The banh mi was pretty good -- no complaints there, except for the bread. It was crumbly and left a bit of a mess. Turns out, banh mi bread should be crisp and airy on the outside but not too crumbly.The place has limited seating with uncomfortable high chairs, which seem to be designed to encourage you to eat quickly and leave. It can get busy, so it's much better as a grab-and-go experience rather than dining in.Overall, if you're craving good banh mi and Thai milk tea, Banh Mi Ok is a solid choice -- just be prepared to sweep up some crumbs!

The only reason why I am rating this a 3 (more so a 3.5) start is because I requested absolutely no cilantro and guess what.... There was cilantro all in my grilled chicken sandwich which I didn't realize until after I already bit into my sandwich (what if I was allergic?!?) Well I stopped by Banh MI Ok because I wanted to try something new and the reviews were good. I ordered the Grilled Chicken Sandwich (S3) with NO Cilantro... this was a to go order. This sandwich is $9 and with tax and a service charge, the price was $9.92 With this sandwich, it was packed with an excessive amount onions so I had to dig that out as well. The chicken in this sandwich was really good and flavorful, the bread was not as soft as I thought it would be however it was not bad. Would I return... yes however I would just stress no veggies just to make sure that there's no cilantro. and I would definitely double check the sandwich before leaving the restaurant

Wow this place was amazing. The bread was deliciously crisp, the pickled veggies were perfect and crunchy, and the meat was flavorful, buttery and seasoned well. The spring roll was ok, mine didn't come with peanut sauce but a friend's did and it was the best peanut sauce i've had.

Really great banh mis for a reasonable price. I got the BMO house special sandwich and it was stuffed. I accidentally ordered the wrong one, as I just wanted the vietnamese style bbq pork in it, but the house special had a lot more other meats. I also got the spring rolls, they were delicious as well. Would def come back for another banh mi one day.

Amazing food and price with an endearing vibe on a Saturday morning (quiet, only tv playing on the background)Will definitely come back next time when I need a quick bite

Love this small downtown banh mi shop! The house special is my FAV in the downtown area by far -- great fillings, toasty bread, and they add some sauce which makes the sandwich even more flavorful. I regularly crave banh mi so this is a good snack whenever we're rolling around the area. Service is friendly and efficient too! Only thing is limited seating, but the park is nearby.Definitely looking forward to my next visit yumyumyum

Stopped by on the whim and was happy I did! Inside has some seating and the menu offers an assortment of Vietnamese dishes like spring rolls, variety of sandwiches, rice bowls, and drinks. All of the workers spoke Vietnamese that made me feel at home and more comfortable with the quality of the food.I ended up ordering the S1 or special banh mi. I asked for the greens on the side since I wouldn't be eating the sandwich right away. Overall the sandwich was good, better than okay! The baguette was fluffy and delicious, pickled veggies were acidic and crunchy, the cold meat cuts were yummy, and the pate and Vietnamese mayo was delicious. I just wish the sandwich had more meats/spread and that they included more herbs and jalapeños.Overall, an authentic Vietnamese spot and I will be back whenever I have a craving!

I ordered a sandwich bread no toast. The bread is not fresh. I can tell the texture is left over bread.

As others have reported, this is a terrific place downtown for a fairly authentic, well-priced Banh Mi. Yeah, the bread crust crumbles a bit, but it is tasty and substantial in its own right. The meat, veggie, herb, and sauce filling makes the meal: fresh, flavorful, and ample. Had the house special, which I highly recommend.Wonderfully friendly, welcoming staff, too!
