Banh Mi Spot

Perfect lunch date with your self spot! got the lychee lemonade (already considering going back and getting another) and tofu banh mi (I think tofu ones taste better than meat, not even vegetarian). The service was very good! Will be going back

Oh no! It's not every day that I put out three stars for a place but everything about the food that I ordered was a hard miss. I got three lemongrass banh mi and also one bbq pork for my friends and I. Mind you, I did takeout and upon arriving to the restaurant, got to chat with the owner and the staff, all of whom were SO lovely and sweet. He stated he felt bad for having the food sit out for 30 minutes (not his fault- I blame it on Chicago rush hour traffic!) and wanted to remake all the sandwiches. I insisted it was ok, and he proceeded to offer me a free baked cookie. Fast forward and my friends and I all had a bite of our banh mi and not only was the bread soft (almost like a hoagie) but the lemongrass chicken tasted slightly off and I was caught off guard by what appeared to be a creamy dressing (??) that overwhelmed the vinegar-y pickled carrots and daikon. We all agreed the bbq pork was way better than the lemongrass chicken. Unfortunately, the free cookie was a nice gesture but was actually inedible. We all took a bite and looked at each other with disgust because it tasted musty and stale. Truly wish there were better Vietnamese food offerings in the area - most likely will not come back to this restaurant.

Food was alright, we stopped by for a quick banh mi with no wait on a Saturday afternoon. Couple of things that were off about our visit but staff was friendly and efficient.Lemongrass chicken banh mi - found a small hair in the sandwich but had already eaten most of it at that point, so I wasn't about to make a scene. Good flavor on the chicken and veggies were fresh. Bun is very very lightly toasted but comes pleasantly warm. Veggies are also pickled well, which I do prefer. Solid sandwich even though I remember a time when banh mis used to be $4. AI generated art on the walls was freaky. I liked the way my banh mi looked when it came and that would've been a great picture tbh. All the art flashed near the menu and hung up was flawed AI generated art that didn't feel great. I never thought I'd be commenting on this but it made the experience weirder (in the bad way).I really love Vietnamese food and I want to support a local asian business. I grew up going to Viet restaurants where half the volume level is the staff yelling and at least one or two tables are taken up by children in a family-owned establishment; looking to be constructive in feedback here. Definitely room for improvement. Hoping to see them make some changes for the better in the future.

I'm not sure why I was craving pho in the heat of Chicago summer, but I have no regrets! I was met with friendly, quick service. The seating space is on the smaller side, but we were easily able to snag a spot on a Saturday. I got the beef pho. The broth was on the lighter side, but I enjoyed it. I was pleasantly surprised with the amount of beef I received, and it was very tender! I thought the price was reasonable. All around a solid experience. I would love to come again to try the banh mi.

We decided to take a train to Logan Park for breakfast but ended up having lunch here since it was almost noon. We ordered the beef pho and banh mi. The pho was so delicious, comparable to the pho we had in Saigon last May. Better than any pho we had in the US. The banh mi was just regular tasting. But overall it was a delightful lunch. My husband met the owner and praised his pho, he said he gets all his ingredients from Vietnam. Highly recommend their pho dishes.

Everything I have had here so far is really good. From the banh mi to the pho to the rice bowls and to the spring rolls literally everything I have had thus far is really good. My favorite is the bbq pork banh mi but u must eat this when it's freshly made while the bread is soft and crispy. Yummy! And the Lychee lemonade!! Woot woot!! My favorite it always makes me happy. The Beef Pho is so good the beef brisket is so soft and the broth is banging! For this area not to have any Viet spots this is good enough for me! The prices are decent too and they also have daily deals which is even better. The service is great and the staff is super nice.

I ordered a lemongrass chicken banh mi, beef pho, and lychee lemonade for lunch. The banh mi was very tasty and the bread was lightly toast and soft. :) The broth of the beef pho was great, which makes me want to try the chicken pho next. Its a great place to have lunch and dinner when craving some good vietnamese food. I always see a table available to dine-in which was cool and the background music was enjoyable. The lychee lemonade is so refreshing to drink, I love it so much! I really recommend trying this place out if you are in the area :) there's no reservation needed. A great quick-bite, and place to eat alone or with friends spot :)

The service was friendly and fast, the atmosphere was nice, although my banh mi was only ok. The flavor of the banh mi was very good--the heat of the jalapeños and the cooling cucumbers, the pickled daikon and carrots, and the floral cilantro were all on point. That said, the baguette did not have the typical crusty texture-- it was super soft, almost like a hot dog bun. Also, worth noting that fish sauce shouldn't be included in vegetarian sandwiches. That said, Logan square was previously a Vietnamese food desert, so this is still a really welcome addition to the neighborhood!

I really was really excited to see a local Vietnamese place, but I got the banh mi and it tasted like disappointment. The bread is soft and squishy and not at all like a Vietnamese -style baguette, and the fillings are also floppy and sad- pickled radish and carrot was completely textureless. Jalapenos were also floppy and textureless. Don't get the lemonade. Staff was friendly and the store has a nice ambiance.

I came here not too long ago and I ordered the Saigon Classic banh mi and it did not disappoint! It was full of flavor and the bread was toasted to perfection, so I ordered another one for my husband. The Lychee Lemonade was so good and refreshing I literally had 3 cups. The staff was very friendly and inviting and so helpful. The vibe was great! The price is not over the top and very reasonable. I'm so glad there's a Vietnamese restaurant near me so I don't have to go out of my way. I can't wait to make my way back so I can try the iced coffee and pho!
