This was the most amazing place that we went to in Albuquerque. We've been hoping to go check it out because of their acclaimed matcha but when we got a hold of their food, we were absolutely blown away. The place was clean (immaculate) and had a great ambience. The kitchen was open and you could see how much attention to detail they pay. We opted for the phò (brisket and rare meat options). Shrimp spring rolls were quite delicious and the different sauces were outstanding. The matches were off as well and the one that was recommended to me by Elias wasn't one. I would've normally thought to order (banana Biscoff), but it was truly magnificent and not overly sweet and had just the right amount of cold foam and milk to matcha balance. Everyone was absolutely friendly and inviting, and they even gave us a sample of their macaroons. We expected this place to be cool because they make their own báhn mì bread daily (get there earlier in the day, especially on the weekends so they don't sell out). World class establishment in every regard. 10/10 A+++.

Sandwiches

The traffic was a mess at lunchtime but I made it and was glad I did! It was my first time here to try this before my next appointment so I needed something quick. Typically I'd get a bowl of Pho but the temperature was about 100 so no Pho. I opted to try the Noodle Salad bowl w raw veggies and assorted cooked meats on top. (See pic) It was a good choice but it took longer to get that I expected. The desserts looked very tempting but I didn't have enough time so I'll try them on my next visit. (See pic) They had a big selection of Vietnamese cold fruit drinks and coffee drinks. Again, I'll be going back to try some. (See pic) The nice thing was that half the dining room had Vietnamese customers which I consider a good sign for authenticity. The place was very clean and attractive. The staff were extremely polite. My Noodle Salad Bowl came in a big paper bowl w a lid so I was able to eat half and take the rest home easily. (See pic.) It was okay but I wasn't crazy about it. I'll try a sandwich next time.

Vietnamese iced coffee with pandan cold foam

Easy carryout brunch. Will repeat. After some shopping at TJ Maxx, I stopped in for a coffee and egg banh mi. Service was quick, the banh mi was packed with veggies, and the Vietnamese iced coffee with pandan cold foam was a nice rec by the young man working the cash register. Looked as good as it tasted! Saw lots of families dining in, enjoying the hot plates and boba teas. Eager to return and try the pho, since I've already tried and liked the grilled pork banh mi (no gristle, just meat). Such a cute bakery and cafe; perfect for a quiet treat alone or casual date with a friend or relative.

Vietnamese ice coffee

It's been a min since I last came. I stopped by cause I wanted something bread so I can make my own banh mi at home, but they didnt sell bread anymore. This was many months ago. We stopped by early this Sunday morning and was pleasantly surprised that they have expanded the menu from mainly banh mi. The now have Pho and rice noodle dishes. B5 combo is a solid can't go wrong choice. All the protein was cooked well and seasoned nicely. Egg roll was good. Fish sauce is going to be the grey area because thats always personal preference, it was good, but would say more on the fishy side, which my fiance liked. Im used to my moms sauce which is more on the sweeter side. I also got an Vietnamese iced coffee and I will say it is probably the best Vietnamese ice coffee that I've had in thr ABQ area. Its was strong and nice and smooth. It wasn't too sweet. The reason why I say this is the best iced Vietnamese cofee I've had in ABQ is because other places, the Vietnamese coffee is bitter or its not balanced enough with flavor. At over $8 for a cup, it's pricey but if i need a Vietnamese coffee fix, this will be a good to spot. I will say they keep it really clean in there and the white esthetic was pleasing on this sunny Sunday while we were eating in there.

I love Vietnamese food and was excited to try their Banh Mi and teas. I ordered #1 bc I love everything and their fruit tea with passionfruit and guava. First, impression, the service was polite and understanding. The sandwich and drink came out within 10 min. Their Banh Mi was flavorful and was in a 9in roll that was lightly crispy and filled pretty well. I am used to shorter rolls that are stuffed way more. I felt like I ate more bread than toppings, otherwise I would rate it higher. It's about a $12 sandwich, on par with Subway footlong prices. The fruit tea was great, although I question the practicality of the canister it was served in. Instead of a plastic cup with a straw/no straw, it was in a plastic can that you can open like a soda can on top. I disliked how I couldn't reseal it or reuse it. If I wanted to recycle it, I'd have to put effort taking out the lemon wedges, which I did in order to. So, if I had the choice, I wouldn't get those cans. Everything costed about $20 before tip. I think in the future, I'll ask if I can get extra meat and veggies to make the Banh Mi feel more full. The place was also very bright and clean. I liked the atmosphere where there's plenty of seating. They also have every table with soup utensils and condiments bc they also serve pho.

First time trying Banh Me and U, and I'm already looking forward to coming back! The menu is quite impressive. They offer quite a variety of Bahn Mi Sammie's, Noodles, salads dang, they also have the Korean Corn dogs!! Let's just say I can come here many times and order something different! Since it was my first time I got the first Banh Mi sandwich on the menu, and it was out of this world! The balance of the savory meats, the pickled daikon radish and the freshness of the cilantro is just EPIC!! The drink menu is extensive, Bobas, Teas, matchas galore!! Again, I'm already focused on what I'm getting next time I come in! The service is friendly and welcoming, we were those people who showed up 30 mins before close.. I know I know. Fail! But I promise we tipped good . They were very appreciative. All in all, this is our new hot spot, can't wait to come back soooooon!!

First time here. Food was good and while I chose a jasmine milk drink, that wasn't my favorite but that's okay, I'll go again and try something different next time. Cute place, parking can be challenging but be patient. Service was served with a smile and they were very helpful

We stopped by this Banh Me & U boba spot today for a Mother's Day treat and I'm so glad we did! We ordered 4 boba drinks, a sandwich, and mochi ice cream... everything was absolutely delicious. The customer service was amazing and she gave us some really great sandwich recommendations that did not disappoint. Such a fun and tasty experience. The decoration is also so cute, the place was clean and fresh. We'll definitely be coming back!

I was so full on only half of the delicious pork banh mi sandwich and half of the shrimp spring roll! The sandwich has the delicious soft bread with soft crust and loaded with the meat and vegetables. Several sauces including a chili/oil, siracha, hoisin, etc. were set on each table. The shrimp spring roll came with the peanut sauce. The order itself came with two very generously sized spring rolls. The triple chocolate moor had a hard ganache with white and dark chocolate mousse inside. Was light in texture but yet filling! Clean restaurant. Very nice staff. Busy on a Saturday lunch but plenty of parking to the side and front of the store. Highly recommend. Next time, I saw the pho, and it looked amazing. Will come back for that another time!

Ricotta pistachio cake

I was invited and it was my first time. The place was clean & warm decor. The young lady was extremely nice and helpful for sure. Got my grilled pork barn mi(very good & have to say), along with the mango sunrise fizzy. The drink was refreshing and tasty. I needed another item that was without all the bread so I got the chicken hot plate. It was pretty good but not what expected and funny enough served with a whole sandwich hoagie bread lol. I then opted for 2 desert items as they looked awesome. The young lady was nice enough to discount the two desserts. they were both really good.

Banh me grilled pork
Diedra Q.

This place is delicious! The food was amazing I had a Banh me sandwich, grilled pork spring rolls and a strawberry fizz drink. The food tasted great was very fresh. The drink was very refreshing not full of ice. The customer service was excellent as soon as I walked in I was welcomed by an employee. The food was all made fresh and came out quickly. The restaurant itself was very clean and there was alot of seating.

I love their brown sugar boba. Trying the vegetarian banh without jalapeño. Will enjoy when I get home. The service is fast, efficient, and friendly.

Seasoned fries
Carlos O.

Nice little spot with authentic Vietnamese meals. The food was fast, fresh and fantastic, awesome menu with so many options including a large drink selection as well! Staff was very helpful in helping us decide what to order. We ended up with their two most popular sandwiches which were packed full of fresh ingredients. Tasty and large portions which were very filling and well worth the price! Each bahn mi is two days worth of food! Seasoned fries were hot and crispy and full of bold and zesty flavor! We will be back for a visit in the near future.

We were heading to Santa Fe for the day and decided to stop for a coffee on the way out of town…read more Zendo's was on our list of possible coffee shops to go to while we were in Albuquerque and that's the one we chose. We were there fairly early on a Saturday morning and it wasn't very busy when we arrived, but it got a bit busier before we left! The staff were friendly and efficient. We each ordered a coffee and a pastry and sat for a while. The place is cool - we like a good vibe and this place has it! We live almost 1000 miles from there, so we likely won't be back, but we highly recommend it!

This was the only coffee shop and teahouse that we visited three times in one visit. Our mission…read morewas to explore the best places to get matcha in Albuquerque. This place has such a friendly vibe to it and the staff are so kind and knowledgeable. They even remembered my name, despite it being very busy and coming back a few days later. We decided to hit it up on the way back home to the airport. They share a patio in office with sidetracked brewing company. If you're looking for something cool to experience in downtown ABQ, this is a place for you. They've got tasty treats and flavorful drink options. The bagels and breakfast burritos are pretty good too. Try the golden milk latte if you're feeling like a health pick me up. Love this place!
