Tan Phat Oriental Market

This is the place to go for Vietnamese sandwiches. Really not much of a market but I usually get a few snacks like the seaweed tempura chips and the shrimp chips. I would recommend that you call ahead and place sandwich order because they sell out quickly. This place is very well known in the Vietnamese community.

Not much to say... their banh mi sandwich is delicious. My family and I have had them dozens of times. Warning; this place is not a secret. Everybody knows this restaurant makes the best banh mi sandwich in town. They sell out fast... usually before lunch.

Love ..... the sandwiches here ! The produce is fresh - the service is friendly. I only come here for the speakeasy subs ... lol

Small market focusing mainly on Vietnamese food products. They don't sell cooked food except banh mi but you have to preorder them to guarantee getting one.

Best banh mi around town! I always call ahead, and you can't just have one! They also sell some desserts.

Best Vietnamese Banh Mi in Tampa for sure. I have tried all the Banh mi places in Tampa/Pinellas Park/st. Pete area and this is the best. You need to call them (opens at 8am) to order first before come there to pick up. They usually run out before noon. I stopped by one Saturday, and they are all gone by 10am.

Stopped by on a local outing... and found a variety of foods, condiments and other stuff I was running low on, or just wanted. Cafe Du Monde Chicory coffee, lots of Vietnamese specialties, quite a bit of Chinese and other Asian specialties also. Nice meat selection also... some nice looking pork belly! Friendly people too... the Vietnamese lady behind the counter was very nice, and discussed what she felt were the major differences between Viet cuisine and some of the other Asian cuisines, and I always love to discuss food and cooking!Stop in... especially if you love to cook healthy meals!

This review is based solely on the banh mi here. They only sell banh mi dac biet so if you are looking for more options then there are other places nearby. This is a mom and pop grocery store selling just essential Asian items. You won't find fresh meat or seafood here. However, If you happen to be out of 3 crab brand fish sauce, and you don't want to fight crowds or antisocial then they have it here! The banh mi sells out quickly and some days by noon so order early. You can ask them to have it ready made with the "works" meaning already toasted and ready to eat. Or you can ask that they just make it and you will toast later which is good so that you can pop it in the toaster oven whenever you are ready to eat. The banh mi is $3.50 each, but when you buy 5 you get one free. They fill the banh mi with a very generous amount of meat. Nothing fancy or elaborate, but it hits the spot!

All the hype about bánh mì is correct, the best banh mi in Tampa, bánh mì is all about the bread , bánh mì ngon là quyết định mọi thứ

Banh mi are so authentic! Ask for extra meat and call ahead as they often sell out! I also love their home made soy bean drinks.
