A co-worker took me to this spot for lunch yesterday. Oh. My. Goodness!! SO DELICIOUS!! I got the pork belly Bahn Mi (sandwich) and an order of fries! Everything was hot and fresh! Beautifully prepared. The bread was crispy and fluffy. The veggies were fresh and the meat was cooked to perfection. The fries were just the way I like it! Crispy/crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside! The service was good! You could make your order with the cashier or by using their large tablet to online order via Toast. Good price points. They also have tea and other drink selections but I don't try it tia time. It's a cute and quaint spot. Very clean. Not loud. Nice decor. Even the serving and kitchen area looked clean. Highest sanitation reading I've seen in a while (99.5)!!! I will DEFINITELY be back to try other options! read more

Great food, B1 and B3 banh mi's are excellent! Popcorn chicken is great and tastes like true Taiwanese popcorn chicken. All bread is baked in house and is phenomenal! Service is great, we have been 3x and treated very kindly by staff. The restaurant itself has nice seating options with a nice light brown interior + lots of greenery. read more

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! read more

My life changed when I had my first bahn mi in the TL in SF years ago. Since then am always seeking one that evokes the same experience. 93 Bahn Mi fits the bill. This gem offers similar sandwiches that are completely satisfying, and closest to that initial taste. The special combo was delicious. The Vietnamese coffee is made with espresso for a richer drink. Might be worth trekking over to lunch from work in North Durham. Yeah, I'll be doing that a lot. read more

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). read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

I will definitely be frequenting this place in the future. Not only were the workers here exceptionally friendly and efficient, the food was also spectacular. I can't say enough about their homemade bread and the meat was so flavorful. It brought me back to Hanoi. Their popcorn chicken was also delicious but maybe a tiny bit too salty. Don't get me started on their tea. I will definitely be back soon to try their Vietnamese beef stew which I saw was now offered. At one point I heard rumors about pho but I haven't seen it on the menu yet. Either way, their menu is great. As for the ambiance, it reminds me of a small tea shop which I personally love. Keep it up guys!!!! read more

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! read more

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! read more

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 read more

93 Banh Mi & Tea - Tofu Bahn mi - Sandwiches Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

My Banh Mi and the customer service were good. The sea salt coffee was exceptional! I would recommend giving it a try if you're in the area.

Unbelievably fantastic banh mi's. Some of the best I've ever had. The issue isn't the quality of the food, it's the smell of the place; there's a foul order the moment you enter that lingers on the food. I've also felt sick after eating here, which is unfortunate as the place has really some of the most fantastic Viet food I've ever had. The soup is also quite delicious. It seems only one person works here, and though he's very friendly, and clearly a genius, there might be an issue with how food is being handled or prepared. It's unfortunate as the place is great otherwise. read more

This is my first time ever seeing this Bahn Mi venue. The space is very comfortable and they have an interesting selection of sandwiches and something for vegetarian and vegan diets with the tofu bahn mi - minus the mayo. They also have fries and fried tofu as an appetizer. I will definitely be back as the service was top notch. read more

Incredible Banh Mi -- Fresh, Flavorful, and Made with Love! I can confidently say this is the best Banh Mi I've ever had. Everything about this place exceeded expectations -- from the freshness of the ingredients to the warmth of the customer service. We ordered the tofu, grilled chicken, and grilled pork Banh Mi, and each one was a standout in its own way. The bread was unbelievably fresh -- crisp on the outside, soft and airy on the inside, exactly how great bread should be. The proteins were perfectly seasoned and cooked -- the grilled pork was tender and flavorful, the chicken was juicy, and even the crispy tofu was packed with taste and texture. The pickled vegetables were bright, crunchy, and fresh, balancing every bite beautifully. You can tell that each sandwich is made with care -- nothing feels rushed or mass-produced. Customer service was also amazing -- friendly, patient, and genuinely kind. It's clear that everyone here takes pride in what they do, and that love comes through in every sandwich. I'll definitely be returning (probably way too often)! If you're looking for authentic, fresh, and seriously delicious Banh Mi, this spot is an absolute must-try. read more

EXCELLENT first experience -- and I hope there will be many more. Have been looking for a great banh mi in Durham for years. 93 Bahn Mi & Ti fits the bill.

Clean, cute shop with a nice menu. Service was fast and friendly. I enjoyed grilled chicken banh mi. Bread is great. Right amount of fillings and everything tasted fresh. My veggies had some pickling so not sure why other reviewer didn't. Note that if you don't like chicken thigh-- maybe opt for another sandwich. It's right by Barnes and Noble... so read and eat! read more
