Banh Mi 102

After searching for a good banh mi spot in San Antonio, I finally found Banh Mi 102, and I couldn't be happier. It reminds me of the flavors I enjoyed back in Atlanta. I tried the banh mi dac biet, and the bread was just perfect--airy, fluffy, and crispy. The meats were fresh, and the pickled veggies added a great crunch. The pate brought everything together with its rich flavor.I also got the sugarcane drink with kumquat, which was refreshing and tasty. The drive-thru option is a major plus for a quick bite, but I also enjoyed my second visit dining inside. The place was clean, and the service was both friendly and efficient.Having tried numerous other places in the area, Banh Mi 102 stands out as the best I've found. Highly recommended!

First time hereOrder at the register Order my favorite drink Taro smoothie with a sandwich on the side which was delicious Prices are affordable and they have 2 staff members one cashier and one cook I was the only person in the place at the time and the time to take the order and deliver was average Friendly service Quiet and beautiful place with enough sitting space to eat in

First time here and it did not disappoint. Thai tea, brown sugar milk tea and grilled pork Banh MiService was so friendly and drive thru was fast! So fresh and yummy.

This place is so good! The bread is legit and they have a delicious vegan Banh Mi. I am especially in love with them because they offer boba tea with dairy alternatives (oat or almond milk). I've been searching for a dairy free boba tea and it is hard to find!

This place is super clean! Menu is straight forward- they sell banh mi and drinks I appreciate that this place makes their bread in house, so it is fresh unlike other banh mi places in SA, that order their bread/ don't make it in house. The bread itself is very hollow, so it's not as chewy as I'd hoped it to be but definitely fresh tasting! All the toppings are great! I got the special (dac biet)(not pictured), grilled pork (thit nuong), and pork meat ball (xiu mai) and the order that I listed them in is the order I would rank the 3. The special banh mi was the best! It had a generous amount of butter and the meats had the proper steamed pork, cha lua, and head cheese-- I wish the pate had more flavor but overall, probably the best dac biet banh mi that I've had in SA and I've tried all the banh mi places here! "Grilled pork" banh mi was not grilled - there were no grill marks or char on the pork- just tasted like they cooked it in a pan and the flavor/ seasoning was not there as there was not enough lemongrass flavor and sweetness to it. The pro to this banh mi is the generous portion of the meat! The xiu mai banh mi is traditionally a meatball sandwich cooked in a tomato sauce. Think Vietnamese version of an italian meatball sub but of course with funk like pickled veggies. While the flavor of the meat was there, the meat was not there (barely any meat in the sandwich) and it was not in the form of traditional meatballs and the tomato flavor was not there. Lychee green tea was strong in tea flavor and lychee flavor so I would recommend. On the other hand, the sugarcane juice was funky tasting. I'm not sure what they put in it, but 1) it either isn't fresh (from a can or carton) or 2) they put another ingredient that makes it not taste like sugarcane juice. There was something very artificial about it and I would not recommend. Spend your $7 on another drink insteadI would recommend the special banh mi and the lychee green tea if you're in the area!

Being Vietnamese and growing up in Houston, I am VERY picky with my bánh mì's. The baguette has to be the right amount of soft and flaky/crispy, the meat has to be fresh, the veggies must be perfectly pickled, and the Mayo has to have the right amount of oil and egg yolk. Bánh Mì 102 checks all the boxes. The combo special is pretty great too. It's not the best bánh mì, but it's one of the better ones in San Antonio. Nothing compared to the authentic small shops in Houston, but it's pretty good.

Living in Dallas, I was spoiled with the best banh mi and could not find anywhere in San Antonio/Austin that even came close to the quality in Dallas. My interest was peaked when I saw a lot of Vietnamese people recommend this place and as a fellow Vietnamese, this place is legit. I ordered 2 of their combo banh mi, 2 chicken and 1 grilled pork. When you purchase 5, you get a free tea so I got a plain green tea, half sweet and paid to add boba. Also, I got their sugarcane drink to try. Service was friendly and quick. When I took my first bite, the bread was perfect. Soft but crispy and flaky and it's the perfect size/shape because personally I don't like the thin and long banh mi. The veggies are fresh and they do not skimp out on the butter and pate. The only minor complaint is that the jalapeños were spicy. I took a bite of the combo banh mi and thịt nướng and it was good. Even my picky husband and kids enjoyed their bread. The tea was refreshing. I did get half sweet so can't say if their drinks come too sweet. For a banh mi place, I was actually shocked their boba was soft and chewy because even some boba places' boba are hard and not chewy. Sugar cane was also perfect. Even though this place is almost an hour drive for me, I will still come here when I need my banh mi fix. It doesn't beat Dallas but it's also not 3-4 hours away.

Banh Mi made with freshly-baked bread is always a winner for me. Good quality bread actually makes any Banh Mi perfectly good if not great, and that's what I experienced this afternoon here at Banh Mi 102. Whenever we go to Austin or Houston the best Banh Mi places are those who bake their own bread. Mighty glad Banh Mi 102 recently opened up northwest side of San Antonio on Bandera Road, they really bake their own bread so it's always fresh and delicious.Now, there's no more reason for us to drive far just to enjoy a delicious home-made style Vietnamese Sandwich. The shredded chicken Banh Mi I ordered was perfectly delicious, tasty and fresh. The way they prepared the filling of shredded chicken, butter, cucumber, cilantro, pickled carrots and jalapeños for some reason magically brought me an extremely pleasant taste-bud experience. The people who work here are very polite, helpful and welcoming. I understand they just opened a month or so ago but the place still looks perfectly pristine and well-kept. I really hope they maintain it that way. From the facade, to the counter and dining area, to the back kitchen and even the bathroom, it's very clean and cozy at the same time. I'm not surprised they got A/100 sanitary rating.Their sandwich and green tea combo is affordably good, the quality and taste justifies the price. The green tea drink is not an extremely sweet and delicious.Would always definitely be driving all the way here whenever Banh Mi cravings attack. Service was fast, friendly and they even have a drive-thru ordering if one opts for a quick pick-up order.

Bahn Mi 102 is an inviting Vietnamese sandwich and Boba drinkestablishment. It was the colorful little sign that caught my attention so we stopped in. The menu has smoothies, milk tea, green tea and coffee frappes to drink. There are 6 sandwiches to choose from. I ordered #3 grilled pork sandwich and my husband the #5Opla Sunny side up sandwich. The staff were so pleasant and friendly. We are already planning our next visit for the #5 Opla sandwich.

A real hidden gem among Vietnamese sandwich places, though I don't think it'll stay hidden long. Classic sandwich shop ambiance, with clean metal and stone decor. About 7-8 tables, though most of the food is packaged to go. The iced coffee is on point, sweet as an angel with the kick of a pissed-off mule. Just the thing to accompany the superb sandwiches. I tried the #1 House special - Pork, Ham, Headcheese, Pate, Butter, Cucumber, Cilantro, Pickle Carrots, Jalapeno. Very good but remember, head cheese is always naturally chewy to a Western palate. The #3 Grilled Pork is superb, with lots of meat along with the veggies.The standout here are the baguettes, which are baked fresh on site. I don't think I've had a lighter, more delicate version of this bread before. My highest rating for this shop, you need to get here and try it!This place scores a 5 out of 5 on the 'CTJ Scale', as noted below.5 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Jesus good.

Would be OK having a beer here with Jesus' Dad.2 out of 5 stars: Come-to-the-Apostles good. Meh. Wouldn't have my last supper here.1 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Nobody good.
