Vietnamese iced coffee with pandan cold foam
Rachel M.

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

Pho
Nina N.

What a lovely cute spot for lunch or brunch! They do have a decent selection of Vietnamese bites. The pho was good, but my favorite were the shrimp and pork eggrolls that I KNOW they made in house because the filling wasn't the typical Chinese take out eggrolls. So fresh and YUMMY! The drinks were delicious, the best was the Me & U fruit tea that had such a fruity but not overly sweet refreshing taste! My banana matcha drink was ok, needed more banana flavor. They also had a case of cakes and macarons but I was far too full . Overall I enjoyed my meal and drinks and the establishment is modern, clean but cute!

Banh Mi Sandwich
Miso S.

I want to love it.... I really do but I feel my review will need some context. I'm a Cali girl and spent a lot of time in Alhambra so I like a real Banh me, the flavorful meat sticking out the ends, tons of pickled veggies and the kick of jalapeños that sometimes you have to pick out because it's so hot. Usually in LA you walk up to a counter of a hole in the wall and walk out $10 later. This place is like a Starbucks version, so cute and clean and a slightly anime vibe, great to meet someone for lunch plus it opens at 10AM for early lunch eaters. For a sandwich and a coffee it's $21 so there is that. The sandwich was good and probably great to many but it was a little too vanilla for me. It was light on meat and fillings and for the price was underwhelming. The viet Coffee is premade so I couldn't ask for less condensed milk and that felt odd that I couldn't customize it. Not the biggest deal but an FYI.

Bottom line. Good food and really good service…read more My hubby, son and I were out in Albuquerque and stopped for dinner. We started with egg rolls, egg drop soup and meatball soup. All were hot and good flavor. I had the chicken and shrimp noodle bowl. The chicken and shrimp were grilled and tasty. My hubby had the chicken and shrimp udon soup. He liked it. The chicken was a little tough to chew. But the flavor was good. My son had meatball pho. It was tasty and very hot (temp). All seemed fresh and served hot. They had several servers who came around and brought food or refilled drinks. Cute Asian decor. They had a lot of take out orders and a constant stream of folks coming in. Worth a trip.

I don't want to yuck your yum if you like this place. The food is safe but flavorless and has…read morelittle resemblance to the nominal dish you are ordering. No attempt at Vietnamese authenticity; instead, corners are cut with cheaper or maybe less challenging (for American palates) ingredients. Truly not great. I've experienced this before in Europe, where some ingredients aren't available locally or they are afraid to insult local tastes. But Albuquerque has a significant Vietnamese population, great local supply of everything. There are so many good Vietnamese restaurants in Albuquerque, but this is not one of them. If you want dumbed down, flavorless food that won't challenge you, this is it. It is clean and pleasant here.
