Shrimp spring rolls
Mallory S.

This is a bit of a late review but a couple of months ago, when I was in Fort Wayne visiting family, my sister and I tried Bahn Mi Barista for lunch. It was very, very busy at 2:30 pm on a Saturday afternoon which I take as a good sign! It makes sense that this place is busy - the prices are low and there is a lot of variety of Vietnamese food on offer. I am an adventurous eater but I am also cheap - a winning combination here! I ordered a Korean BBQ bahn mi while my sister ordered a Korean BBQ bahn mi with spring rolls and a lychee boba tea. The meat was SO GOOD GUYS! So much better than any $7 sandwich had any right to have. There was the perfect amount sauce on the meat. My only suggestion is to include more pickled vegetables on top. Life is always better with an excessive amount of pickled foods. I plan to come back to Bahn Mi Barista next time I am in town.

Amazing pho
Josh F.

Amazing food! Great service and very clean. Highly recommend the tea as well. Kumquat is grand on chilling day after a long flight. Clean plate club for both of our thoughts

Outstanding Pho joint... We've been here a few have times now, and have been to the family's downtown location... Both are amazing, but the customer service at Banh Mi Barista so much better. The owner is super friendly and makes everyone feel welcomed as soon as they walk-in and always says "goodbye" and "thank you." It's a small place, but nicely setup and very clean. As for the food... Awesome Pho and their Korean banh mi sandwich is absolutely next level - So good. We'll continue to frequent, because there's nothing to not dislike about Banh Mi Barista - Two thumbs up.

I'll be the first to admit that I know practically nothing when it comes to Vietnamese food, but man am I obsessed now! This shop is tucked in a tiny strip and easy to miss, but offers both dine in and carry out options. I decided on the Viet special Bahn Mi and it packed SO much flavor. The meat was seasoned so well and the fresh veggies piled on the sandwich were the perfect compliment! Definitely ask for the fresh sliced jalapeños and snag one of the dozens of milk tea or bubble tea options to go with it.

Korean barbecue banh mi
Tina P.

I love their Korean barbecue sandwich. The flavors were on point, with the sweetness of the barbecue sauce perfectly complementing the savory fillings. It was exactly the kind of sweetness I love, without being overwhelming. Although the second time I went and got the same thing, a few pieces of my meat was burnt.

Pho
Keto K.

Not a lot of parking but I love this little hidden gem. One of the Best Pho in the Fort. And for $11.00 you get a huge bowl of Pho! Every food item on there menu is super delicious!!! You get a Kind of diner feel when you enter and the staff are friendly and helpful!

Frontage of building a outdoor seating
Danielle C.

Private parking lot with about 4 tables of outdoor seating. Even though it's located on coldwater road the noise from the traffic wasn't that bad. Went inside to order and since I hadn't been there before I asked them what Bahn mi was the best they suggested the double pork one. I opted for that one and make it spicy without the carrots. I also ordered with it the summer rolls which should have had shrimp and pork. We sat down and they delivered the food to our table very quickly along with siracha sauce and houisen sauce. Upon looking at my sandwich and comparing it to my friends sandwich I noticed that hers was stuffed with ingredients I did have, we ordered the same thing, including the jalapeños to make it spicy. So I took it back in and the persons who prepared it admitted she didn't add anything because it said no carrots she thought it meant no veggies just meat. After they fixed it and I aWhen I looked at it more closely and I ate a few bites I noticed it was only one pork on it. I took it back again and they said they forgot the second pork. So they gave it to me on the side. So far not impressed. After I finally got it assembled the way it should have came it was a disappointment. The pork was tough and chewy and overcooked. It didn't have any flavor and the only spice that came from it was siracha sauce that I applied to it. For a better bahn mi I'd rather have gone to my favorite Vietnamese Place. The same rang true of the summer roll. After I took out the massive pile of carrots all it had was leaf lettuce and shrimp. Zero pork or Noodles or cucumber. Again better at the other place. It came with a sweet dipping sauce which was decent. It was also more expensive than my other spot I eat at usually but it's always nice to try new places and locally owned. They were very busy with carry out orders and dine in eaters. I can't say it was the worst place I've eaten at and the food looked way better than it tasted. Would I go again? Prob not. Wo up of I recommend it, of course cause I think we should try new to us local places when we have a chance. We may end up loving it. Employees were friendly and accommodating. The place was decently clean but small with just anger tables to dine in and eat. Small counter to order from that is packed with trinkets and we had to ask for silverware. Food came out on paper plates and were given plastic eatery. We didn't get checked on since we sat outside and we didn't get refills on our drinks. Very limited menu.

Vietnamese sandwich, spring rolls, passion fruit bubble tea
Brandon C.

WOW I wish I lived closer to this place! I've been trying to convince my gf to like bubble tea and this is the place that finally did it. I got her passion fruit with mango boba and now she's hooked! It feels like primarily a bubble tea shop with how customizable their teas are but they also make a delicious sandwich.

Shrimp Spring roll
Dominica D.

I got a Vietnamese salad, shrimp spring roles and milk tea with popping boba!!! It was delicious and well prepared! I asked for only shrimp and no pork. They did as I asked and the peanut sauce the spring rolls is so good. I don't know if the sauce is made in house but it taste like it is. The milk tea is always good and their salads never disappoint. Definitely a great place and every time I come back it is good.

When you first pull into the parking lot, you don't think much of it as the building next to the convenience store is abandoned. It does not have a beautiful façade but when you walk in, it's a mom and Pop small ethnic grocery store. You order your food at the counter. The menu is kind of limited however there is quite a bit of healthy options. We went with the lamb kebab over rice and the gyro sub. unfortunately, I did not realize that the prices go up if you pay with credit card, so remember to bring cash if you want to save money. After you place your order you can wander this very small aisles to look at a variety of different drink options, etc. The food did take a little bit longer than expected to prepare. The lamb kebab over rice was delicious and had the perfect balance of spice. The sub itself unfortunately was a little disappointing. Maybe I'm not familiar with New York style subs, but I found the bread to be underwhelming and the actual ingredients inside the sub to be slightly disappointing. I think it would be better to serve the euro in a pita. I don't know about the other sandwiches that other people rave about however, maybe I will try that the next time we come in with cash, of course.

I have come to appreciate the freshness of their sandwiches lately. My wife had the chicken Caesar wrap. She liked the moist chicken, light tasting dressing and soft wrap. The potato salad was fairly standard with most. It had a nice mustard-mayo taste and consistency. It might have been a little heavy on the mayo. The egg and celery were good touches. Very smooth! The McAlister Club sandwich was filed high with delicious turkey and ham. The Swiss and cheddar cheese...plus toppings made a nice sandwich. The white bread was nicely toasted without being overly crispy. Just enough mayo to blend the tastes. The 1/2 salad, on the 2 choice deal, is enough for a whole meal. It's a real club salad. All the fresh meats, cheeses and toppings. Lots of croutons. The honey mustard dressing is thick and spicy. All blended to an enjoyable taste. The Mac & cheese side was rather small. The noodles were a bit mushy and over cooked. The cheese sauce comes off a bit "institutional". Perhaps a flavor that you would find at school or a place who isn't focused on a designer Mac & cheese. It was very creamy and had a mild cheese flavor. I liked the tee shirts the staff was wearing to promote their tea. McAlister's special tea is like drinking a hug - per the shirt. The tea has a nice smooth/warm/soothing taste. It kind of reminds you of a southern style tea. However, it isn't over the top sugary. It also doesn't have a bold strong tea taste. It's good...and I almost felt the hug lol.

Sunday around noon o'clock and it was pretty a pretty busy place. We reached the corner to place our order after a short wait and the gentleman behind the corner took our order. He spoke very quietly and I felt bad having to ask him to repeat nearly everything. After we gave him our order and he repeated it I questioned it if it was right. At the point another employee came back and asked us what it was. It turns out he was a new employee and still finding his way. No problem. No one starts out an expert at anything. The nice lady got it straightened out and we sat down to wait. A few minute later a manager came by and apologized and said he thought our order wasn't entered correctly. We told him that was the case originally, but it was corrected by another employee and it was good now. The food took about ten minutes and wasn't presented as the prettiest meal I've ever eaten. Both lids on my Jalapeño Turkey Crunch appeared to be sliding off the side and the pickled looked like it had been mushed in the hands of a toddle, barely resembling a pickle. It made it a VERY messy, high-napkin-utilization meal. While the tables were addressed quickly after diners leaving, the floors were another story. Yes, it was lunch rush, but at the same time it takes a micro-second to pick up an errant straw wrapper or napkin. This location has a nice outside seating area with several table and umbrellas. It was a bit too hot/humid for us to eat outside, but in better weather we'd have absolutely eaten outside.

This has never been an issue for us until yesterday when reaching checkout and paying for my sandwich I was confronted by the self proclaimed district manager of Jersey mikes requiring me to pay for two sandwiches. The store staff had incorrectly made my request into two regular sandwiches one being turkey and one being ham (neither being an actual club sub.) At the time of this confrontation I had already completed the purchase and was simply waiting for the sandwich. I reiterated to the district manager and other restaurant staff my order was for one sub with no additional meat - simply split the way I had requested. The manager became aggressive, again reiterating that now I had to pay for two sandwiches because they did not follow directions. Since this was not right I refused and I was told to leave the store and that I was now "banned from Jersey Mikes" according to the district manager. He proceeded to insult and mumble unprofessionally with zero tact as I stood waiting to be refunded for the sandwich I was no longer going to be allowed to receive. We left and immediately went to a competitor sandwich provider down the street. I have been a Jersey mikes customer for years and never received such a terrible experience inside one of the shops. Deeply disappointing.
