What a wonderful place. The bread tasted so fresh fluffy and delicious, I probably could've eaten three rolls. I got the tofu banh mi and it was so delicious. We were waited on as soon as we got there, inside was clean and had enough seating. It is small inside, however it's great to grab lunch or dinner. I will definitely be back.

(B7) Fried Tofu Bánh Mì
Andrea A.

93 Banh Mi & Tea is the newest Vietnamese spot in this area! Overall, I thought my meal was decent. I got the tofu bánh mì: while the tofu, bread, and veggies were good, it needed a lot more aioli and was thus a bit dry. The brown sugar boba was classic with a good amount of sweetness and tea flavor plus chewy boba, but nothing mind blowing. There's a large parking lot, which is nice. Service was fast and friendly. Ambiance is casual, a little on the smaller side. 7/10 would recommend, though I'm partial to the other bánh mì spot in this neighborhood.

Popcorn chicken
Rosa L.

Cute little banh-mi-focused cafe in New Hope Commons. You order at the counter with a person or at a touchscreen, and they'll bring food to your table. I got the popcorn chicken and the special combo banh mi. My food came out in just under 15 minutes. Everything is made to order. The popcorn chicken was hot and juicy. The salt and pepper seasoning isn't as heavily applied as at Quickly, but it came with a little container of sweet chili sauce. Would definitely get this every return visit. The banh mi was served on house made bread with a shatteringly crisp exterior. Their bread is on the lighter and fluffier side for a banh mi baguette. The pork in the special combination was a bit bland for my taste, and I would've liked a heavier smear of pate for salty umami depth. Still, loved the bread, loved the popcorn chicken, eager to return and try the other bahn mi options. And still giving this 5 stars because the bahn mi are under $10, and there's not too many places where you can get such tasty food made with care at that price point!

Special combo bahn mi
Annie W.

A nice spot to grab a bahn mi sandwich for lunch! I got the special combo sandwich which was pork and pate on a baguette with fresh cucumber, carrots, and cilantro. The sandwich ingredients and bread tasted fresh. The portions were on the smaller side, though I thought appropriate for the price, which is lower than other bahn mi spots in the area. I also got a matcha latte which was just okay (a bit too sweet for my taste). Staff were friendly and our orders were prepared quickly. The restaurant is located in the New Hope Commons shopping center (bonus - with easily accessible parking).

Vietnamese coffee
Evangelina W.

Tried 93 Banh Mi & Tea today and really enjoyed it! The shop was decorated and had a good amount of seating for the amount of customers coming in and out. The service was quick and they also remained open on the snow day which was extra nice. There were a lot of customers who also bought Banh Mi to go. I think all of the items I ordered were great in terms of flavor but I really liked the Banh mi bread the most. It was surprisingly both crispy and soft. I also think the price was great for the portion size. I would definitely come again!

B1 Special Combo - Dac Biet
Jason P.

Finally, we have a Bahn Mi restaurant in Durham! They have house-made baguettes for the sandwiches, which have a perfect crisp and consistency. I have tried the B1 (special combo) and B7 (tofu) and both meet the mark. Great fresh toppings. They brought the food out fast. Nice tropical ambiance. I'll definitely be back.

Cold cut banh mi (veggies on side)
Thanh-Van L.

Banh mi dac biet with "cold cuts" was so good (they're not cold meats btw). They use pate which is sometimes missing from other Banh mi. To go veggies came in adorable little zip locs. The crispy pork Banh mi was also good just cause it's crispy pork but I prefer cold cuts. We got the grilled pork sub as well which was flavorful. The bread was perfect. Crispy outside and fluffy inside. Wasn't so hard that it crumbles all over you each bite. We also got the popcorn chicken which could've probably used more salt/msg? But still yummy! And they were so kind and patient even though we placed a somewhat large order about 15 minutes before they closed. Such a cutely decorated inside too!

Tofu Bahn mi
Dia T.

Ok! I fell in love with Bahn Mi in Houston and was sad to leave all that good food and come to Durham.... However, plot twist! Durham has a variety of people, culture and food... and Bahn Mi!!!!!! This was amazing ! The bread was fresh, crispy outside and soft inside. The employees were over the moon nice. The order was delivered fast and fresh. The veggies and tofu was yummy. I would ask for extra "meat" next time. A little light handed on the ingredients but the flavor is there!

Tofu Bahn mi
Sweta S.

Excellent! There isn't a restaurant like this nearby. They mainly serve Banh Mi, coffee, and teas. The bread is homemade and crunchy. The fillings are refreshing and crispy. I recommend a special combo which has pate, pork belly, and pork roast in it. Ambience is casual. I am happy this place decided to open here, and I hope they get a lot of business! The service is timely and friendly

Popcorn Chicken
Benjamin L.

This is the top spot for exceptional Banh Mi sandwiches and other Vietnamese street food! They bake their own baguettes in house. That alone should tell you this place is legit. The bread has an amazing crunch and toasted exterior with a soft, airy inside. Needless to say, the Banh Mi tastes like they're straight off a Vietnamese street vendor's cart- delicious and flavorful! As a bonus, the place is family-owned and the all the workers are kind and professional! Try their popcorn chicken. It's marinated and perfect for an appetizer for 2-3 people. And of course, get a sandwich!

Inside is small but clean & cozy!
Yolanda Y.

This area is getting a lot of bánh mì spots - tried this new place for lunch. I ordered two bánh mìs (crispy pork and egg) along with the popcorn chicken. The chicken portion was smaller than expected and a bit dry, though the flavor was okay. The bánh mìs were more "sparse/empty" than I anticipated. And, the veggies were not pickled (my daikon or pickled carrots...). The bread tasted okay but like standard store-bought white bread (my baguette...). That said, the prices were very affordable, and the quality felt consistent with what you'd expect for the cost and portion size!! I chose my order to go, but the little restaurant is well decorated, cozy, and inviting, and service was relatively fast. Overall, it's a solid option if you're on a budget. Personally if you specifically want bánh mì I think Gossip Tea across the road has better quality bánh mì, though it's also more expensive.

Cold cut
Sydney H.

We were in the area and stumbled across this spot on google. I am so glad we stopped by! We came for lunch on a Sunday afternoon and ordered at the counter. we ordered one grilled pork banh mi and one cold cut ($8.99). We decided to eat in and our food came out within 10 mins. We love banh mi and i can definitely say this was one of my favorite banh mis i've had! The bread was warm and perfectly crispy. The cold cut was my favorite. I will definitely be back!

Tofu banh mi
Glenn G.

We were in the area after doing some shopping and I remembered reading about a banh mi shop nearby. We stopped in late on a weekday and placed our orders at the counter: spring rolls, a combination (dac biet) banh mi and a tofu banh mi. We would have loved some Vietnamese coffee but that would have kept us up. A cute little gentleman brought us the spring rolls and they definitely seemed handmade due to their long shape (I suspect some places reheat frozen spring rolls). He then brought our banh mi and we enjoyed them better than those from another nearby tea lounge. They were good, filling and relatively cheap. The atmosphere is very casual and there looked to be some college students hanging out and other patrons picking up orders. I read this is a family-owned restaurant and I can see the care they put into it. Will definitely be back, perhaps to try other menu items like their beef stew.

We ordered the pork belly bahnmi and the combination bahnmi. OMG!!! They are both outstanding! 10/10! We will come back 100%!!!

It was too hot to eat outside, though I imagine their bamboo patio out back will be delightful to sit at in the cooler months. The inside tables along the window have a view out to the street. There's a display case featuring fresh made desserts and other sweets worth checking out. I loved the fresh tomato, lettuce, and crispy bacon on this sandwich. I'd enjoy coming back, though I think I'll take my sandwich home next time. BLTs are the specialty here, and they do a great job making them.

As you enter there is a sign that tells you to go look at the menu board, pick out your drink, and go back to the counter to order. I grabbed a diet coke, and ordered a Common Cobb. I was a bit surprise when my total came to $18, as my salad was only $14 but I guess I should have paid attention that my bottle of soda was over $3. How much are the fountain drinks, I wonder? I found us a table inside since it was a bit hot that day (there is also plenty of seating outside AND inside if you go downstairs). The table and floor were messy but someone quickly came to clean it for me. They called our names over the loudspeaker and my best friend went to go get our food. She got the MotherClucker. Our food was REALLY good. If you like Cobb salad, you will definitely like this one. The chicken was pan seared perfectly, the vinaigrette was perfectly tangy and the bleu cheese was especially excellent. My friend's chicken sandwich has SO MUCH chicken salad on it. Impressive. There was so many neat items to see in the place. The murals were great, there were some cute retail spaces, a coffee bar up front, a bar downstairs, and ice cream outside! Unfortunately my bestie and I had too much to talk about so we didn't check it out as much as I otherwise wood. I would definitely try this place again!

We did the smaller size sandwiches which were still quite large, but we were quite hungry and finished them off.

I've been going to this particular location at New Hope Commons for more than a decade now, not as frequently as before, but not rarely, and I notice there seems to be a slight downgrade when it comes to their food quality in recent years. I remember when in my first visits in Jason's Deli, every time I ordered a Reuben, the cashier would ask if I'd want regular or baked chips and my choice of side (usually I get French Onion soup, a fruit cup, or a side salad), but in my latest visit, I was not asked any of those. And what happened to the pickle dill that they usually include with the sandwich? Jason's Deli doesn't put that anymore. Yeah, sure you can get it from the Salad Bar, but it's usually included on your sandwich plate. I also prefer baked chips over regular, so when I got the regular chips I was slightly disappointed. I usually order the full Original Reuben (Corned Beef, not Pastrami) sandwich but they also have Manager's Special which comes with half of any sandwich of your choice + a cup of soup, which is not a bad combo for a slightly cheaper price. While the amount of beef in my latest visit was good, the Reuben in my sandwich tasted a bit cold as if it wasn't heated enough. The amount of kraut was good, and the Thousand Island dressing in the sandwich was fine. However, one corner of the rye bread was soggy, leaving me disappointed as I pondered how better Jason's Deli used to be. Jason's Deli's salad bar is decent with a good variety of toppings, cheeses, and dressings you can add. You'll have to pay additional if you want to add protein though. I tried having chicken breasts in the salad, and it tasted okay. You can get the Side Salad added to your sandwich order for about $6 or if you want a bigger plate, you can get the Garden Fresh Salad Bar for about $11.45. Both options are fairly price. They also have other specialty salads I haven't tried, so if you enjoy eating salads, you might enjoy Jason's Deli. Fettuccini Alfredo is not bad but not great. Don't expect it to be like Carabba's; it's a cheaper pasta but fairly priced; it comes with chicken and two pieces of bread, sauce is creamy enough. Chicken quality is better than its Italian neighbor, NY Pizza at New Hope Commons. My girl also enjoyed the penne with meatballs and marinara sauce. I also tried their wraps a few times such as the Ranchero Wrap, which is a Mexican-style wrap Southwest spices. Wraps and most of the foods in their menu are healthier than an average fast food chain. They also have a good variety of typical soups like Broccoli & Cheese, French Onion, Chili, and some Noodle Soups, so overall, menu items are what you'd expect from a deli chain. This Jason Deli location is at the center of New Hope Commons, close to the bus stop where many homeless people wait, and at one time, I saw a couple of them freely enter the restaurant without paying for food, and just eating the complimentary ice cream Jason Deli has for its customers. This is probably why they put coded locks for the bathroom doors: To prevent non-customers from accessing them. Overall, place looks spacious enough, even if it could get packed during Sunday lunchtime. Jason's Deli's soda machine and sweet tea options are convenient. Sweet teas are freshly-brewed, and fantastic with lemon. The complimentary soft-served ice cream (vanilla, chocolate, or a mix of both) with the small cones or cup is nice but at one of our more recent visits, the ice cream machine was down. Food was served fast, and someone brings it to your table, and someone also cleans them up, so overall, customer service is fine. The main reason we go to a Jason's Deli is for the Great Reuben, which is sadly, no longer great; hopefully, management will be able to improve overall quality of it. Back in the day, I used to have lunch breaks here every time I hang out in the Barnes & Noble nearby. It's still the best place to get food in this New Hope Commons shopping area but that's not saying much since there's not a lot of other options here: There's a NY Pizza place, a Subway inside Walmart, a Philly Steak spot that seemed to have shut down, so I'm thankful that there's still a Jason's Deli here.

That's why it's disappointing to see the prices continue to climb while portions seem to stay the same.

By the time everything was added, it felt hard to justify the value for what was actually served. I understand food costs are up everywhere, but for a simple meal, the price-to-portion ratio just didn't feel worth it this time. I'll probably still stop in occasionally because I like the market itself, but I do wish they would either adjust portions or reconsider pricing so it feels a little more balanced for regular customers.
