This shop has been around for years and I was finally able to visit. It's in a shopping Ctr very easy to miss if you don't know what you're looking for. We were greeted as soon as we walked in. Great big smile very cheerful and helpful. The menu is small and consistent. I asked for the top 2 best sellers. Sandwiches are 5.00 and HUGE. Well made and good quality fresh ingredients. The French bread was flaky and pillowy. The veggies were crisp and had good distinct flavors. All sandwiches are dressed the same. #2 combination has pâté, butter and head cheese. This was my fav. It all just worked. A great bite 9/10. #5 grilled pork was good but a bit too sweet for my taste. The pork had a marinade paired with the daikon was too sweet for me but I'd definitely recommend it 7/10. Don't think....add it to ur list!

We are visiting from the Bay Area. Our sister recently moved to Dallas and was in search of a good banh mi sandwich. We found this through YouTube. We are so happy we found it! The sandwiches are delicious, fresh Ingridents, and the bread is everything. Crunchy and soft French bread. We got the combo and grilled pork banh mi. Each is $5. What a great deal!!! The sugarcane drink was made with fresh sugarcane. Loved it! They make everything in house and fresh daily. Friendly owners and made all of our sandwiches really fast! There are spots to sit inside but we opted to get it to go. Very cute inside decor and clean. We will come any time we visit :)

I don't frequent this part of town as much, so it's been awhile since my last visit. Recently, had to stop to get my bahn mi fixing. Good to see that that they offer the buy 5 get 1 free deal. Overall, the store was clean and very simple. The menu is just some pictures of their bahn mi, but no price or description in English. Also notice my receipt after I got home that they charge extra for using credit card. I don't mind the fee, but it really needed to be posted or at least verbally tell the customer prior. Otherwise, the bahn mi was good as last time. As it's only my son and I that like bahn mi in our family, it took us 2 days to finish eating all 6 of them. One tip to heat them up is to microwave it for about 30 seconds then to toast them about 5 min to give that perfect crunchy toast on the outside while the veggies stay crisp. Overall, I still think it's a good place to go if you're craving for bahn mi. The star deduction is more for the lack of transparency in doing businesss, such as no English description, no price, and not disclosing to charge extra for using credit card.

So good!

Staff was friendly and food was delicious! Ordered the sugar cane juice and it wasn't too sweet, just right!

#2  Banh MI Dac Biet, Special Combination.

#2 Banh MI Dac Biet, Special Combination. Ham, pork roll, pate, & head cheese. Pickled daikon radish, onion, & cucumber. Vietnamese mayo, cilantro, & onion. Flavorful & the veggie protein ratio was perfect. Only $5.00. They make everything but the bread in house. Try it. You will love.

Honestly did not expect this place to be that good but the owners are super nice and its a small and close by shop for banh mi! There was not too much meat on the inside of the sandwhich but again it was only 3 dollars each! Also buy 5 get 1 free deal! I got 5 plus 1 free grilled pork and it was good! I got veggies on the side so i could go home and toast it for a minute to make the bread extra crispy before adding the cold pickled veggies. He gave a lot of the pickled raddish and carrots which i love which was great! I would definitely go again if I am too lazy to drive to garland for my favoirte banh mi place there. I also got a sugar cane drink which was sweet and tasted almost like fresh coconut juice just extra sweet. Not bad but not sure if I would get it again just because it was so sweet and had this aftertaste that I am not sure if it was normal or if its because the sugar cane sticks he had wete getting old. Either way still good but I haven't had enough sugar cane to know if thats normal or not!

Very simple place to get your banh mi. The dac biet sandwhich had generous portion of meat & vegetables. I paid $10 for 2 banh mi which is fine but I've had better for cheaper. Also the menu is very simple not many banh mi options compared to some other places. Other than that I would probably come back because it's close when I'm craving some banh mi.

What are the meats on the special Combination?

Hello, the meats in our special combination are the sliced pork roll, ham, and head cheese. This sandwich also comes with a spread of pate and Vietnamese mayo.

Is it still cash only? And is there an ATM?

Not sure about atm. But you can use credit card, but do know they do charge a fee to use it

What's the going rate for a banh mi these days? Thanks

$3 each

Amazing. Coffee experience was absolutely delicious, memorable and completely on pointe. So glad we…read morecame and hope to be back soon. I ordered a cortado and it was incredibly smooth with deliciously layered flavor. Some of the best I've ever had.

This spot was very difficult to find and felt pretty out of the way for us. There isn't much…read morecivilization nearby--mostly furniture stores and industrial vibes--so it's not somewhere you'd just stumble upon. That said, once we arrived, it was absolutely packed to the brim. Every table was full, including a private conference room, and the space itself isn't small at all. I imagine it's a bit easier to find seating when the weather is nicer, but today was freezing, which made their six outdoor tables completely unusable. My mom ordered the chocolate croissant and said it was the best she's had at any coffee shop I've taken her to. We had it warmed, and it was incredibly rich and indulgent. The coffee was fine--nothing memorable--but the matcha was to die for. They had about six people working in a very small space, and despite that, service held up well considering how busy it was. The crowd skewed younger, with lots of people posted up working for long stretches. Definitely a long-haul seating kind of place. The vibe was great: louder music, energetic atmosphere, and it somehow all worked. There's also a stuffy (quiet) room available for rent if you need it. Matcha rating: 8/10. Second best matcha I've had in Dallas so far--better than La La Land, but still not topping Tried & True Stellar, which remains my #1. This place has real character--very local, very lived-in. I'd come back 100%, probably earlier in the day to snag better seating, since once people sit down here, they really settle in.

Ascension always has some of the best coffee offerings in the land…read more Their service is always too notch and their ambiance is always great for dates or just studying.

I love the Ascension Coffee at The Star, so I was excited about coming to this location. Apple Maps…read moretook me into a parking garage even though there is a ground-level parking lot, so keep that in mind if you are coming for the first time! The place has a variety of seating, is clean, and isn't too loud. There were a lot of people studying and working. I didn't have the best experience. They had their Fall drinks written on the menu and then after explaining to me what the Johnny cakes latte tastes like, they told me it wasn't available until Tuesday, which was misleading. I tried to order a seasonal peach tea drink, and they told me they were out of it. At this point, I was frustrated and got the golden latte, which tasted awful. It was so ginger-y and not smooth at all. It tasted like the equivalent of a tough-to-get-down juice shot. I ordered a breakfast veggie sandwich, which wasn't bad, but my friend and I both ordered it for dine-in, and for some reason mine came out in a to-go box. This was super odd and there wasn't an apology or anything. The sandwich was okay - the avocados weren't ripe yet and were kind of hard. The brioche was good, but $10 for something I could throw together at home in 5 mins was unimpressive. Overall, I won't be back. Ascension in Frisco has seriously the best service, with an expanded menu, and coming here was so subpar and disappointing.
