They weren't accepting people to enter the establishment and we had to order outside. We also had to eat in the car because they didn't open up the restaurant for customers. When I asked the difference between summer rolls and spring rolls the girl told me one has 3 and the other one has 2.... Ummm that didn't sound right. So I tried to ask the question again and I tried to ask it a different way. Finally she said how they are different. So I went with the spring roll with a tone of lettuce and little noodles. The sandwich had hard bread very little meat, as you can see in my pick. I didn't finish my sandwich and just threw 1/4 of it away. I might try other foods here if I was in the neighborhood, but I am not running back anytime soon. Sorry, this is a hard pass.

Disappointed is an understatement... as a Vietnamese, I've had many banh Mis from all over and I'm shocked that they passed this off as something good to serve to customers. The price point is great at $5 a banh mi ( comparable to Chinatown prices but in the loop ) but I rather pay a little extra to be happy with my sandwich. The meat to bread ratio was incredibly off. It was the saddest sandwich I have ever opened. My chargrilled pork banh mi had barely any meat... there were barely any vegetables as well. I had to take a couple of bites before I reached any filling as it was entirely just bread for the majority of it. The taste was promising if this establishment makes a major change to make their sandwiches more filling.

I ordered from here because it was cheaper than most other bahn mi places and the age old trope holds true. You get what you pay for. I ordered through Uber eats And got bogo free chicken dumplings ($5.95 each order of 6). Probably the best item I tried but still not that great. I prefer the frozen out stickers as these (like all of their food) was too salty). I didn't even use the soy sauce but they were warm. The "chargrilled" chicken bahn mi ($4.75 I think) was just soaked in teriyaki sauce. There were big chuncks of chicken but again way too salty and not chargrilled. Otherwise it was a typical bahn mi but the teriyaki over powered and m it was not good. I also got the rice paper spring rolls. They're mostly lettuce and one roll had no noodles in it. The dip was good but barely enough for the two wraps. All in all would not order again. Splurge for a better spot.

My initial draw to Oui Banh Mi was their drive thru, which similarly to Lee's on Bellaire (#1), is a rarity for any Vietnamese based restaurant in Houston. After a number of visits with average experiences, I'm convinced their food is solid in a pinch, but not exactly a go-to option. Given that a good volume of their business is takeout, they've been an ideal pandemic type restaurant. Seating is minimal on the inside, but there's a few booth type areas for those who want to dine in. They seem quite modern overall with a sleek menu and fun mural to boot.The food is a mixed bag. One could argue that it's watered down and/or a tad gringo'y, but it lives to serve the neighborhood. Their namesake banh mi has been the least appealing thing on their menu since the bread was stale and the portions were paltry at best. I've tried their signature chargrilled pork and pate, which had very little of both. The first time I thought it was a mistake but the subsequent visits of skimpy sandwiches made me think otherwise.I think a better route has been their vermicelli noodles, particularly with chicken and egg rolls. The fish sauce isn't that potent, but it is definitely sweet. I do think their Vietnamese iced coffee is a clear winner and the pho should probably be avoided at all costs. Spring rolls are also a gamble at times, since the wrapping isn't always tight, resulting in a limp roll or one that's constantly falling apart.Service has also been a mixed bag. Minus the occasional order snafu, I find the service really depends who's at the counter. The awkward times of ordering in Viet has been met with a bit of pushback, to the point where my party and I stopped saying banh mi all together.Their prices are good for the area and I think the fact they use the Coco mini-robot delivery machines are cool. I don't think I'd completely say no to Oui, but I'm definitely saying peut être (#2)____________(#1) https://www.yelp.com/biz/lees-sandwiches-houston(#2) Maybe, perhaps.

This cute little unassuming place is a hidden gem in Houston. I always order the small sized S1 (I love it too much to stray from it). It's $4.87 for a footlong sandwich. READ THAT AGAIN. I don't know how they get their pork to taste so good--it's tangy and tender, I wish I could eat spoonfuls of it. The veggies and bread are always fresh. I'm surprised the other reviews on here are not 4-5 stars...Maybe because they're a year old. Highly recommend.

This is our "go to" Vietnamese/French restaurant! The food is fresh and the customer service is always great! We live in Ft. Bend County but make the drive to Oui Banh Mi despite their being other Vietnamese places near our home. Won't go to any other restaurant unless we're out of town!

I've been frequenting Oui Banh Mi since I moved to Houston 4+ years ago. I have sat in the drive thru with one car in front of me for 40 minutes, I have been given the wrong order with my name on it only to realize it when I got home, Ive ordered ahead only to have to wait 30 more minutes waiting at the store, I've been served what tasted like very sour Vietnamese coffee and undercooked meat... the list goes on. Last night I ordered via DoorDash about an hour before closing (like a fool). It took them 30 minutes to accept the order on their tablet and when I finally received it, I was missing 2 items, my coffee tasted like soap and my banh mi sandwich tasted funny and almost undercooked. I have been sick all morning with immense stomach pains. I've tried to give them so many chances, like maybe I caught them on an off day. I never write reviews as I work in the service industry and know how biased reviews can be; but I can't do it any more. I truly don't understand how horribly inconsistent this place can be. I won't be back and will be notifying them and the health department, as something was seriously wrong with my order and made me violently ill. Ordering an hour before close is reasonable yet the whole order felt really rushed and slapped together with minimal care, given my missing items. Good luck to those who choose to order from this place.
