Banh Mi 1 - Vietnamese Near Me - Garland, Texas

Not sure how ppl rate this as best in town. Got a grilled pork banh mi Eh .. not too impressed. The pork had lots of fats and not grilled until Smokey or charred. They also didn't ask what veggie I wanted, they just threw everything on it. Then I couldn't really taste the pate. The veggies were great but I wished they asked what I wanted. The banh mi wasn't too big .. in fact I was surprised they didn't cut the banh mi into 2 pieces for easier eating experience. Sesame ball was great .. but way too big. Prefer to buy 2 smaller one but couldn't bc it was jumbo size. Layered cake was great but dry ? When it's dry it becomes hard. Came to $16 for 3 items read more

This place is inside a Vietnamese market and I would have never known about it if it weren't for my gf who suggested it. We got the #2 and I was really unsure about it because I am not really into super bready foods. Plus the bread looked really hard and distasteful but omg was I wrong. The bread was light and crispy on the outside and super soft and buttery on the inside. I was literally shocked when I took my first bite. The meat was super tender and not overly salty. I am guessing they process the lunch meat onsite as well as the bread. Not to mention the pickled veggies on the inside were absolutely the perfect combination of flavors with the meat, bread, and fresh cilantro. Highly recommend this place and they even open at 8am if you want to pick one up bright and early. Also plenty of parking! read more

Banh Mi 1 - number 2 - just get it!!! - Vietnamese Near Me - Garland, Texas

I came in early on a weekday to pick up sandwiches for a flight. You'll need to walk all the way to the end of the food court to find banh mi 1, past Lee's and several over food vendors. Everything is open and ready for customers at 8am. Back home I usually grab meatballs and banh tieu sesame bun for my daughter, but the ones here are Texas sized and I don't want her overdoing it since these are deep fried. Instead I opted to try their pork pies, banh pate so warm and flaky with lots of pepper in the pork. She didn't love them for some reason but I enjoyed one the next day warmed in the air fryer. Initially I ordered 2 banh mi, the new crispy pork belly heo quay and grilled chicken.. then I realized I should call my family and pick up food for them and even though there were two different transactions, the nice lady offered to honor the buy 5 get one free deal! She asked if we wanted veggies separately and since we had 6 banh mi she gave us a 2 full bags of cilantro, cucumber, and jalapeños, and separate bag of pickled daikon and carrot. When we got home I had to make an additional couple of baggies since we weren't all eating together. The banh mi were great, soft and chewy bread, meat was tender .. only a tiny bit of gristle was found. We went all grilled meats so not much pate or mayo to comment on. Be patient, there was only one person in front of me and it took about 15 minutes for our order. I had time to walk in the market to grab some fruit and skip it for fresh fruit...not great quality. Banh mi were craveable, I'd recommend! read more

Their banh mi í just ok but their snack are good to eat like xoi hoac banh chuoi chien hoac banh tieu va che chuoi is good too

Combination Banh Mi My boss took us here and swore they have some of the best banh mis in town. I'm so glad he brought us here, because normally I would have been scared off by the questionable Yelp reviews. This place is located in the mall. Super fast service, super legit, just delicious very stuffed banh mis. Great bread, great everything. Huge fan! read more

Banh Mi 1 - Com Chay - Vietnamese Near Me - Garland, Texas

My family has been coming here for years after grocery shopping, but the quality has definitely gone down. The grilled pork is not what it used to be either--different marinade? Service has gotten easier in that communicating isn't as tough anymore (as a Non-Viet person!) The bread is still a good mix of crunchy and soft, and they don't skimp on the protein either. Buy 5, get 1 promo is still active! read more

We came here after going to mall as my wife wanted Lee's sandwiches and decided lets go for it. It ended up being in the Saigon mall. The supermarket was opened, but did not take a look, but maybe next time. But a lot of the stores were closed. They sell different sandwiches like the Thai Meat, but they ran out. They will have other food like the stew. I ordered the pork sandwich for $6.00 and they ended up giving me 2. Not so sure because there was a mistake with the order or they like me a lot, but it is a good size as it filled me up. I ordered also the meat pie and the shrimp chips. All very good and prices were not bad at all. Service was good too. We got our sandwiches within minutes. read more

Was in the area and looking for some Vietnamese sandwiches and yelp got me here. The sandwich here turn out pretty good especially the bread, I order number 2 and one tofu. If you buy 5 you will get one free. It just take quite a long time to get it. read more

24 Banh Mi sandwiches on their menu ... 24! And not only do they have a great variety, but they're really tasty too. Came by with a relative who knows the area and they highly recommended this banh mi location for a quick stop and go lunch. We all ordered different banh mi sandwiches, but I had a chance to try the #1 Dac Biet combination and the #6 Xiu Mai meatball sandwich. First, the baguettes were softer than what I was used to and I really liked that. Instead of scratching the insides of my mouth with the sharp, crispy baguette crust, I was able to bite down easily on their baguettes. As for the #1, although it didn't seem like it had a lot of meat at first, after a few bites, I was finally able to discover the layers of sliced meats. The #1 was OK and good, but it wasn't anything unique to me. As for the #6, that was what really wow'd me as I had never eaten a meatball banh mi before and the meatballs were very tasty. I also liked the generous portion inside the baguettes as well. If I were to ever revisit Banh Mi 1, the #6 would definitely be my go to sandwich. Besides the tasty banh mi sandwiches, the price point for the sandwiches surprised me too. They all ranged from $3.25 - $3.75, which is insanely inexpensive in 2019 and makes the sandwiches so worth it. Will I ever be back? Heck yeah if I ever pass by Dallas again. read more

Love love love the banh mi from this place! They also have a location in Grand Prairie that also makes delicious banh mi. Their banh mis are very traditional and they have many options to choose from. Each one is delicious, but we love the banh mi dac biet/combination. If you don't know which one to go with, that one is always a good go to. Never fails. And one is more than enough to fill me. They have a deal, if you buy 5 banh mis, you can get 1 free. Always a great deal for families or a big group. Definitely recommend checking them out. And we definitely are always coming back. read more

Honestly one of my favorite banh mi places! Grilled thit noung pork is my fav! They don't speak English so you gotta like just tell her the number and how many u want haha. Buy 5 get 1 free! They fill it pretty full and give lots of veggies if u ask for it. Cash only! Its great to take home and bake it in a toaster oven for like a couple minutes to make the bread crispy and add the veggies and theres a cheap lunch! Keeo the rest in the fridge and bake when ur ready to eat. Last about a week in the fridge so eat it fast! read more

Good tasting banh mi. I always get pate cha lua. It's solid here! You can even buy the pate separate to make banh mi at home. Too many modernized banh mi shops skip over the pate and that's a no no for me. It turns it into a regular sub if you do that. read more

This morning we was @ Bánh mì #1 inside Saigon Mall . We ordered the #1 Bánh mì đặc biệt. As soon as my wife paid she handed the sandwich right away. So my wife asked her is it pre made she said yes . So my wife as her to put in the oven to heat it up. She said it doesn't make any difference. If I heated it up you wouldn't know the difference???? I guess if you eat it doesn't matter if it been sitting there or heat it up ??? I leave it to who ever eat there will have their own common. read more

Very good Vietnamese sandwich, one of the best in town. The wait can be long at times. Everyone has to try it at least once, then you will be hooked with "banh mi". Friendly staffs, good customer services. Highly recommend in Dallas area. read more

Most of the 1 star reviews are for the bad service here. I must admit that they do take a while to get your banh mi ready, but I always emphasize that for Vietnamese food, poor service is basically a pre-requisite for good food. This was the case for this. We came near closing time, so some of the options were more limited. They have a fantastic deal (buy 5 get one 1 free), which approximately simplifies to $3-4 per banh mi. This is a welcome sight to see in the sea of $13 pseudo-authentic banh mi's that have proliferated throughout Dallas. We got 4 banh mi thit nuong and 2 dac biet. I actually did not eat the banh mi on the same day, but actually reheated them in my air-fryer over the next couple of days. Despite this, the banh mi was among one of the best I've had. The bread itself somehow maintained its inner fluffiness and slight chew, contrasted by the crispy exterior that had been blasted by the air-fryer. And believe me when I say it, but the thit itself was basically like meat butter. It was extremely tender and packed an extremely strong punch of flavor. The richness of the meat was beautifully balanced with the pickled veggies and jalapenos as toppings. The bread held itself together very well under the weight of its many toppings. I basically inhaled the sandwich every time I ate one. Overall, this is a fantastic option for cheap, authentic banh mi's around the Garland/Richardson area. Expect to wait 10-20 minutes if you buy 6 sandwiches like we did. Despite this, I would definitely come back. 5/5 stars. read more

One of the top best places to get your banh mi fix in the DFW area. The baguettes' they use are crunchy on the outside and soft in the inside. Plus the meat is flavorful and veggies fresh and crisp as can be. There is a wide variety of banh mi options to choose from and all at a great and reasonable price. Go on and try it, you can't go wrong with this hidden gem inside the far left back of cali Saigon mall. read more

Banh Mi 1 - #8 pork grilled banh mi - Vietnamese Near Me - Garland, Texas

One of the better banh mi places in DFW. Prepared for rude service and don't ask the elder lady for suggestions because she just end up scolding at you. I hate that it's cash only but it doesn't stop people from eating here. The banh mi is legit. My sister says it's the closest thing to Banh mi in Vietnamese and she goes to VN every summer with her kids (not this yr though, damn rona). When I do come here, I usually just get the cold cut bc that's just my favorite in general. It's buy 5 get 1 free (not 3 get 1 free like Quoc Bao). read more

This banh mi place is at the food court in the Cali Saigon Mall. The sandwiches are cheap... two for $12.00. Although flavorful and the bread is fresh, the pork was a weird spam like slices and not the traditional grilled pork. Fast and easy sandwich at a good price. read more

Banh Mi 1 - Vietnamese Near Me - Garland, Texas

This is my favorite banh mi place in the Dallas and the surrounding areas. The bread has a thin and crunchy crust with a soft core and they have an extensive menu. We've tried most, if not all, their banh mi options and they're all yummy. We have tried both locations. This location does not have the hen xao (baby clams) like the Grand Prairie location and they put less of the butter sauce but it's closer and more convenient for us. In addition to their banh mi we also like to get the com chay and the various banh trang snacks they offer. It's cash only and there's buy 5 sandwiches get 1 free sandwich or cafe sua da specials every day. It does take 10+ minutes to prepare a dozen sandwiches so be prepared to wait if you have a bigger order. If you like banh mi definitely give this place a try! read more

Even though located inside a little Saigon mall doesn't mean that it will be that bad as cafeteria food . I have to admit that the banh mi here is pretty decent and I always ordered the combination number 1 with the veggies on the side to go. I wouldn't say they are number 1 maybe behind Quoc Bao sandwich place. Bit good enough to fulfill your hunger. read more

Got the egg rolls here. Some of them were sour, and the others were not. Pretty sure they had gone bad. It was noon time when I got this.

Best banh mi in DFW, hands down. The bread is so buttery and they give you a ton of meat, pate, and butter in the banh mi dac biet. And if you buy 5, you get one free. Tip: call and order in advance, especially if you want to order at least 6 sandwiches. They're extremely busy all the time, especially weekends. The biggest downside and the only reason why they get 4 stars (instead of 5) is because sometimes they don't have my order ready even if I call hours in advance or they forget my order bc they have so many call-ins. read more

I like to think of myself as a banh mi aficionado. The banh mi here is actually pretty good. Bread is made fresh everyday and won't cut the roof of your mouth. The bread itself has a good flavor to it and is good enough to eat alone. The banh mi dac biet (combination of cold meats) is my go-to order. They overload the sandwiches with green onions, cilantro, cucumbers and jalapeños though compared to other banh mi places. No big deal - you can always pick those out if you don't want them. They don't pack on a big glob of the buttery mayo stuff like Quoc Bao does which is a letdown for me since I love it but let's face it, it's better for my health. Not a fan of the chicken (ga nuong) though. The marinade is too sweet for my taste. My advice is to come here for the banh mi dac biet (combination) and go to Quoc Bao for banh mi ga nuong (grilled chicken). The ladies working behind the counter speak mostly Vietnamese though so to my non-Viet yelpers - I suggest to not have a complicated order. Warning: Cash only! If it gets busy it'll take awhile to get your order. They're pretty slow at making the sandwiches. Sigh. read more

The Vietnamese sandwiches (Banh mi) were fine. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't all that amazing either. The ordering is kind of confusing and not all that great. They have a buy 5 get 1 deal, but that's a lot of sandwiches, so that deal is useless for me. If you are in the area or at Saigon Mall & you want some sandwiches, you should try this place out. I like it better than Lee's Sandwiches any day too! read more

Love at first bite! This was hands down the best Bahn MI sandwich I have ever had. It is Buy 5 get 1 free, so I ordered three of the classic #1 as well as three of the #6 meatball. The bread is soft and crunchy at the same time. The most perfect combination in a Bahn MI sandwich. These are slightly larger Bahn MI than other places and the quality of the ingredients are fresh. I asked for the vegetables on the side and that was a great move as she gave me a nice size bag of celantro, jalapeño's and cucumbers. In a separate bag was the carrots and Diakon. This allowed me to load up spice and sweet on mine and no spice on my wife and kids. The meatball (#6) was our favorite, a decadent flavor of sweet meat that was tender and delicious. Add the celantro, bring in the jalapeño and carrots and my mouth is watering just thinking about it. We travel a lot and in the last 20 years, we have had Bahn MI from 60-70 different locations from Seattle to LA, from Vegas to Orlando. This is now my favorite place for Bahn MI. I will travel to Garland and justify the drive from Lantana for it. All future road trips will start first with a trip to Bahn Mi#1 to load up the cooler. Can't wait to try some of the other Bahn MI options next time. read more

Best bahn mi in DFW! This unassuming sandwich counter is hidden in the back of Saigon Mall food court. Their fresh bread is crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside, and whatever magical spreads they put on it makes these banh mi amazing. I always get the banh mi combination 1 ($3.50, and also buy 5 get 1 free). I also love the fried rice cake snack, which is $7 but fills up a huge gallon sized ziplock bag. The sticky rice is also good ($2.50). The ladies behind the counter don't speak much English, but we make it work with a lot of gestures and English numbers. Like most hole-in-the-wall asian places, they take CASH ONLY. I think they're only open from noon-4pm, so this is a great lunch option. Overall, best banh mi in Dallas, and definitely driving across town for! read more

Banh Mi #1 has decent banh mi. I ordered the rolled ham one. First thing i noticed when i took a bite was that the baguette was pretty good. Crispy exterior with a fluffy interior. Banh Mi #1 is also very liberal with their seasoning for their rolled ham. I enjoyed the saltiness while others might be off-put by it. Honestly, the only reason i came here was because Quoc Bao was closed lol. read more

Banh Mi 1 - Dac biet - Vietnamese Near Me - Garland, Texas

We had been told that the best banh mi in DFW was either Banh Mi #1 or a little bakery a few miles away from it (the little bakery is my hands-down favorite). I was disappointed with the bread and the overall sandwich as I was expecting something nearly on par with the other place. I have no idea what authentic banh mi is supposed to taste like -- all I know is that I found this place to be rather average. read more

Unfortunately I am unable to review this place based off their food because I had an awful customer service experience. I called in my order and was advised it would take 30 minutes. I arrived 45 minutes after my call to a stunned individual (the same individual who took my order) with an order slip missing. She explained how busy they were and asked for another 15 minutes which I accepted and allowed her some grace because we all know how unpredictable food service and mishaps can be. While she's trying to sell another customer some side items and helping me, she then asks who long can I really wait, giving the impression that my order wouldn't be done in the additional 15 minutes she had asked for. I politely told her I would go somewhere else with no apology for the error on her part. read more
