Fresh baguettes made on site! I feel like this should be enough of a draw! But fortunately for us all, the filling was equally as delicious.Walking in, there are about 7-8 tables and a young lady at the counter. We were greeted and given menus to order. With at least 10 different banh mi options, most will be able to find something to their liking.I went with #9 cold cut combo. This is a classic for banh mi. The cold cut to bread ratio was perfect and there also wasn't too much mayo (something I find a lot of places doing). The pate was able to stand out amongst the cold cuts and it was delicious. Of course the baguette itself was fantastic. It wasn't too crunchy and tasted fresh. My only complaint would be the cucumbers were sliced too thick (think quartered, length wise). Otherwise, excellent banh mi.

Ordered 20 sandwiches for a party in Louisiana. They didn't give me ANY vegetables, and I unfortunately didn't see that my UNTIL I got to La. They offered me a measly 15% off my next order. Check your order, you can't trust this group and they don't understand customer service when it's their mistake.

Took off one star because their opening hours are confusing on social media, google maps, apple, and even on their store front door.Friends and I went and got bo ne, and one of their cane sugar drinks with passion fruit. Delicious and refreshing. The steak and eggs were perfectly cooked and seasoned. Loved every bite. We usually go to another place but that place wasn't open until way later, and we were on a time crunch.Service was prompt and our host was sweet.

If consistency is the hallmark of doing something well, then I would venture My Baguettes (#1) is exactly that for Banh Mi. They're a family run shop, in the heart of Saigon Houston Plaza, and frankly gets slept on a little too often.I love their sign with the ambient lighting, which stands out especially at night (#2). The inside is clean, modern, and has a decent amount of seating for just about any party. They claim their baguettes are made from scratch, which makes plenty of sense since it smells amazing in the mornings.The bread, especially when fresh, is outstanding. For many folks, good banh mi basically comes down to good bread. It's airy, light enough, and has the perfect crunch upon first bite. I prefer the house special (đặc biệt) but I think it's also a good option for dipping in their beef stew (bò kho) as well. The latter is a tinge on the salty side but it's not a huge deal. My only other desire would be that they slab on more paté, since I've found the spreads to be a little skimpy at times.What I think really gets unnoticed is their option for croissant for the bread. It's not only a game changer as croissant banh mi, but it's one of the only options I've found in all of Houston. Another thing that gets overlooked is their beef cubes and eggs (bò né), which features nice chunks of beef and a halfway decent over easy eggs served on a skillet. I don't think this is the best option in town, but I appreciate that they serve it no less.More bonus points for offering maggi sauce at each of the tables. It's a staple ingredient for many Vietnamese households and a necessary ingredient for all things banh mi.A big thumbs up to the service. They're good at managing the flow of the constant in-and-out traffic and are really good about making the food to one's liking. While the sandwiches are good for take-out, I'd recommend everything else to be experienced for dine-in service. Parking isn't too much of a challenge but this is usually a popular lot on the weekends._____________(#1) One could argue the name is a double entendre: My as in mine but in Vietnamese could also be My (Mỹ) as in the US or "beautiful" in old Viet Han.(#2) Which is somewhat ironic, given that they close at 6pm each day.

Found this place from recs on chow down in Chinatown fb group! Randomly craved a solid banh mi and I usually go to dons- but didn't have cash on me.It's a small place, noticed everyone usually opted for to go/pick up orders. I really enjoyed my meal! The bread was so good - just the right amount of crisp on the outside yet soft and warm inside. Tasted very fresh. Can't wait to come back! Great spot for a quick and affordable lunch

Man, why doesn't every city have a banh mi shop!?! The bread you could tell was fresh baked. Nice and crusty in a good way on the outside and soft and pillowy on the inside. The pork belly was flavorful and the veggies nice and crisp. The croissant banh mi was something I've never seen, so had to get that and boy it did not disappoint! I mean the regular bread is good but the croissant is on its own level. Needed something to wash them down with and opted for sugar cane juice. Perfect, not too sweet! Highly recommend, you won't be disappointed!

3 stars for the food but the service was very good so I'll round it to a 4. This is a nice little spot to hang out with friends for lunch. I came during the lunch rush & although it was busy, I received my food in a timely manner. Here's what I ordered. * Mia (Sugarcane drink)- definitely quenched my thirst. I can tell that it was all natural & they didn't add any sugar to it. Perfect amount of sweetness. Also, considering that everything has went up, $3.95 isn't too bad. 4.5/5 * Croissant Dac Biet (Croissant combination)- it's the same thing as a banh mi combination but on a croissant. The croissant was toasted nicely & had a buttery taste to it. The quality of the meat was okay but it wasn't my favorite. They barely put any mayo & pate, just a smidgen of it. Maybe they were in a rush but the veggies were skimpy as well. 2.5/5 * Banh mi Bo kho- this dish brings me back to childhood, I use to eat it a lot. The broth was hearty & flavorful. It's accompany with a baguette & you just dip it into that goodness broth. I wasn't a fan of the meat because it was a little tough, if it was tendered, I definitely would've given it a 4.5/5. 3.5/5Overall it was a decent experience, I can't wait to come back & try their steak & eggs.

Bread could be more crusty and chewy, quite soft and bland. Maybe if it was freshly toasted would have been better. The filling was less than usual spots, needed more mayo and didn't taste much pate.Will be back for roasted pork.

It has been a couple years since I came back here. I introduced my friends to Bo Ne today and they absolutely loves it. Bursting full of flavors! I didn't need to add salt or any soy sauce like I usually do. Their butter and pate are delicious as well! I loved every bite. It helped that their bread is also very fresh!They also have a good fresh fruit with different flavor and absolutely perfect with Bo Ne.I will be back again soon hopefully with more friends! Keep up the great work and amazing food. You are doing a phenomenal job!
