Located in a small, unassuming strip mall, Banh Mi Bistro is a hidden gem with an open, and inviting atmosphere. The dining area is bright, clean, and comfortable, creating a relaxed setting that's perfect for a casual lunch or dinner. The friendly staff and welcoming environment make you feel at home as soon as you walk through the door. Despite being busy, the restaurant maintains a calm and enjoyable vibe that allows guests to sit back and enjoy their meal. The food is outstanding. I ordered the noodle salad bowl with grilled chicken, tofu, and fresh vegetables, while someone else in my party chose a salad bowl with grilled pork and chicken. Everything was freshly prepared, flavorful, and cooked well. The chicken was overcooked though . The ingredients tasted fresh, the portions were generous, and the dishes arrived quickly without sacrificing quality. With so many menu options available, there's something for everyone. Whether you're looking for a light salad, a hearty noodle bowl, or perfectly grilled meats, you're bound to find a dish you'll love. Banh Mi Bistro combines excellent food, prompt service, and a welcoming atmosphere, making it a place I would gladly visit again. read more

On our way to the Phoenix airport, we stopped by for a quick bite to eat and ordered their Bánh Mi sandwiches. Hands down, one of the BEST Banh Mi I have ever had !!!!! First of all, ordered at the counter and chose our seat. Place had plentiful tables to choose from. Menu had a variety of sandwiches, vermicelli, and rice plates. So many choices, but my tummy stuck with the sandwich. When the nicely wrapped sandwiches came to our table, I we were pleasantly surprised. The sandwiches were more than generous and huge. I ordered #2 - grilled pork, pate, fried egg, and with all the trimmings. Absolutely delicious! Bread was nice and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Protein fillings were not skimpy at all- the grilled pork was not overly salty, the pate was a nice thin creamy flavorful layer, and the fried egg was perfect and fluffy to top. The produce- pickled veggies with decent balance of cilantro and thinly sliced jalapeños! Omg soooo good. All fresh and flavorful! Can you pls open another eatery in San Antonio?! read more

My favorite Vietnamese sandwich shop in Phoenix! You have not lived until you try the shaken beef!

Not my usual banh mi place! But i'm addicted to banh mi right now so had to drop in while in the area. The bread is delicious, and very soft. The service was great. An easy convenient place to get lunch. My friends and I were able to chat and relax. Overall, nice chill place to stop in for a quick eat. read more

I'm not sure how this got so many high ratings - maybe my mistake was ordering bun salad instead of bahn mi. i got my bun with egg roll and pork - the pork was a weird pink color, I'm hoping just from the marinade? Must have hit on an off day since young guy behind the counter was pleasant but i wouldn't describe him as friendly. Doubt I'll go back. read more

My friend raves about this place for their Banh mi so we decided to come here! I love that they have so many options to choose from. I got the bbq pork Banh mi and the pork belly bao. They were both very good. The pork belly bao was really tender and good. I also got lychee tee and that was very refreshing. The service was great and the ambiance was a typical hole in the wall Vietnamese place. read more

First impressions: a clean and modern interior that has a calming effect. Not a lot of tables! We were lucky to snag the last one after a table left. An employee quickly cleared the table without hesitation, wiping it down and giving us a pleasant greeting. He was also clearing plates through the small space. It looked like there was just one person working the counter and he was also helping to cook. Everything was cooked to order. We ordered a BBQ pork banh mi, spring rolls, and a pork eggroll noodle bowl (which is my newest obsession). The vegetables on the sandwich were fresh and flavorful; we had some inconsistent knife cuts on the pork resulting in "a big 'ole hunk of meat" on one side of the sandwich, but no big deal. A few issues for me, which may not be a deterrent to you: The rice noodles were overcooked to my taste and my noodle bowl was missing the crunch of bean sprouts! Those same mushy noodles were in the spring rolls. We both didn't care for the addition of bacon in the spring roll and the peanut sauce was the consistency of peanut butter, but we mixed it with siracha and made our own little spicy sauce. All in all a friendly, clean, and inviting place! read more

This spot is unassuming from the outside, and the service can be a little on the slow side, but the food--and the customer service--make up for it. I ordered one of their salad bowls with grilled pork but asked for no noodles, just veggies. At most vermicelli places, that request gets me strange looks, but not here. They handled it without hesitation, and it was absolutely delicious. The lotus root salad was another standout--fresh, flavorful, and well-balanced. Their bowls are sort of a build-your-own as well, which I've never seen before. The grilled pork BBQ banh mi, however, was a miss for me. It lacked the vegetables shown in the menu photo and didn't have the flavor punch I was hoping for. I'd skip the sandwich next time. Their Vietnamese coffee is much stronger than it appears in the photos. It came out much darker and less milky than expected. But when I mentioned it to the cashier, they happily remade it to my preference. Really appreciated that extra effort. All in all, a solid place for fresh Vietnamese bowls and salads. Just maybe skip the sandwiches, which is sad since that's something I usually crave at Vietnamese restaurants. read more

Best food and very fast. I love the freshness of the food. The service was amazing. The location is ok but the restaurant is very clean

The perfect lunch! I ordered a Bánh mi sandwich with grilled pork and it was delicious! Great flavor and a big sandwich, which I saved one half for lunch the next day. I got a side order of the bao buns and they were absolutely perfect. I would order 50 if I could!! My husband got the noodle bowl with chicken and pork egg roll. He loved it and the egg roll was his favorite. This was also a generous portion and he saved some for lunch the next day too. It was busy inside during lunch. I ordered takeout and there was a waiting area with a bench, but there were tables inside to dine in. Service was great, kind staff and took about 10 minutes to get my food. The restaurant looked clean and a nice place to sit down for a quick bite. Loved everything we got and I can't wait to come back! read more

This is the second time coming here I forgot how much I love it!! I brought my gf for a quick lunch . I got the bbq pork Banh Mi with a strawberry ice tea and she got the chicken noddle bowl . And a Taro milk tea Both were sooo tasty. What I thought was a little different about the noddle bowl was noddles seemed to be a little thicker than the normal vermicelli noddles used for this dish. But it was great either way. This place is tucked in a small strip mall. Definitely worth a try! The service was friendly and you get your food quick! read more

I read a bunch of trusted Yelper reviews before coming here and was looking forward to a good meal since I was fasting, well not really, I had a dental appointment and wanted to eat after my appointment. This place was close to where I was and I popped in here vs going to Pho KC. I was actually interested in having some pho soup but then I realized I made a mistake in my restaurant choice as this place doesn't serve pho. OK, on to plan B, and I ordered a noodle salad bowl with grilled pork and veggie egg rolls. Service was quick here and staff were nice. My dish was just ok and the veggie egg rolls were a bit burnt (and weren't fresh), but what I didn't exactly enjoy was the grilled pork. I realized later after having a second meal out of my leftovers (good portion for price) is that the grilled pork is made with char su, and I just don't like char su. Never did, even as a kid. I also was kind of turned off by the very red color of the pork. I think I was expecting a lean cut of fresh pork, grilled brown and not red. There wasn't anything wrong with the char su grilled pork, it's just I don't like pork cooked this way. And I dont enjoy big hunks of char su. And if I eat char su, it's diced up and very small amounts in a fried rice at most for me. I would be willing to come back and try some other dishes to see if my experience can be elevated. But will say for now, this first trip was rather a disappointment for me. read more

Bread made in-house! The loaf is huge. You definitely get your biggest bang for your buck. The pate is flavorful. There's a lot of fillers in the banh mi. The Vietnamese salad was not tasty. The bamboo is good! Fresh flavors but lack of flavor. They add a really light fish sauce. I personally love fish sauce in everything but lack of flavor. Space is clean. Parking is easy in a private parking lot. read more

This review is based on the fact that I went here once about 5 years ago and the food was extremely tasteless. I didn't like it. The only thing that tasted like nothing but kimchi peanuts was the sauce. Other than that, we didn't eat the food in my children didn't even touch it. Some people may like Vietnamese food that is tasteless but I do not. read more

My mom sister and I have been eating here for years. It's always great. My sister always gets the tofu banh mis. My mom and i always get the rice and vermicelli plates. I love the freshness and flavors of the lemongrass And pork on my vermicelli plates. The boba drinks are just okay. Never anything memorable to be honest. But for the food it's always worth it. My sister used to work down the street so she always picks it up so i can't speak on the service or ambiance. read more

Great and quick Vietnamese fast food! We come to this place often on weekends since it's quick and delicious. Can never make it on weekdays since they close so early. The pork baos are delicious as our the salad bowls. The egg rolls are also great. The sandwiches I've tried in the past are ok, just taste rather boring. We would go way more often if it was open later read more

I ordered the #1 Classic. The banh mi was loaded with meat and pickled carrots & daikon. The pork skin was too chewy and hard to bite...perhaps, if the pork was sliced more thinly? But at $8 for a foot long..it's a great deal. read more

3.5 stars. My husband got the shaken beef bahn mi and it was good! The meat was a little too chewy but overall we enjoyed this sandwich. It had great flavors and was juicy. The chicken bahn mi however is very dry. The meat itself is overcooked and dry, and there's hardly any sauce to help it. The Vietnamese coffee was okay. We've order Vietnamese coffee also and this one is average. We do appreciate how large the sandwiches are! And they do give a generous amount of meat it them. read more

This is a solid spot to grab a Bánh mi. I was randomly in az and was in desperate need of some Vietnamese cuisine so I found this place on yelp. I ended up deciding on the barbecue pork sandwich and got It with a Vietnamese iced coffee. Both items were great and I would absolutely go again if I end up back in Phoenix. The bread was crispy on the outside and soft inside. The veggies were fresh and full of flavor. And the meat was cooked to absolute perfection. It was really a great quick lunch. read more

Good to be back at Banh Mi Bistro. The weather is too hot to turn on the stove. Why not a Banh mi? I recognized the lady taking orders so that was a good sign. We got the #5 BBQ pork and #4 chicken Banh mi. Service was super quick and the Banh mi sandwiches were fresh and warm. The size of the Banh mi seems to have grown to a giant size baguette. It was delicious and we couldn't finish the whole thing. They are generous with the protein and each bite yielded a piece of meat. Not always the case in Banh mi. The pickled daikon and carrots provide the slightly tangy flavor. It leaves you wanting more. We had a cooler in the car with ice so could pack the leftovers in there with no issue, run one more errand and then head home. Shared parking lot and free WiFi. read more

A great bang-for-your-buck restaurant. I got the BMB special (grilled pork, eggs, pate) for $10 and a chicken curry special with baguette for $9. First of all, the banh mi is so big! They did not skimp on the fillings, especially the meat. The BBQ pork was on the sweeter side and decently fatty. The chicken curry was rich with deep lemongrass flavor. Lots of chicken inside with some carrot and potato. Super flavorful and comforting. And at $9 it's a steal! I chose to order baguette instead of rice, and they gave a whole baguette. I also ordered a green milk tea for $4.50. It was like a light milky matcha. Pretty good but a bit sweet for my taste. You order at the register. Seems like a very popular lunch place and for good reason. I will definitely come back! read more

About a year and a half ago I moved my business not too far from Banh Mi and I was super happy to find a quality restaurant that served tasty food that included many vegan choices. Unfortunately the quality has gone way down hill over the last year or so. Egg rolls are cold and chewy. They don't seem to understand when I ask for the salads to be made vegan, I have to explain it to them every time, and they are never consistent. This was never a problem for the first several months. What broke the camels back was their dismal last HD report. It's very sad, but I probably won't return. read more

The most amazing food and best hidden gem!! I go back atleast once a week and I live 25 min away!

I've been SO into Banh Mi, and this one was exceptionally delicious. Stopped by for lunch and got take out. Ordered at the counter and it was ready fast. It's clean in here too and was somewhat busy but there were still tables available! I got the tofu bahn mi which was $8, seems like a great deal for such a large sandwich. Actually mine was $10 because I splurged to add some avocado (glad I did!). I thought it was so big I'd only need half but it was delicious I downed the whole thing at once. Veggies on top were so fresh and there was so much on there. Would absolutely order from here again! read more

After a long haitus of 5 years, I finally had the chance to return to Ban Mi Bistro. I was amazed and pleased to see that this wonderful eatery has retained its stellar accomplishments of great food, efficient staff, and reasonable prices. As you can see from my previous reviews, this used to be my daily lunch spot. Changes in work had me relocated during my lunch time, and I had lost touch with this great food. Today, I had a chance to return, and return I did. I bought the rice plate with chicken, which, by all accounts, is enough food for 2 people. And wow, the flavor still kicks ass. Sizzling hot food, with the perfectly sublime gentle spice undertones that seem to comfort your mouth at every bite. The chicken rice plate has a collage of chopped veggies accompanying the chicken and rice, and all of it is amazing. The staff continues to be kind and swift, while being helpful at every turn. And they get the dishes prepared in rocket speed! I was never unhappy when this was my mainstay linch stop, and I am glad to see it continues to be the best asian eatery in the area. Well done to John and the staff!! read more

Banh Mi Bistro Vietnamese Bistro is one of the gems of North Phoenix. They are a PHO-FREE casual Vietnamese Eatery. They offer 11 types of banh mi sandwiches, noodle salad bowls, and rice plates and more. The portions are very large and might be two meals for some people. Our favorite proteins there are the shaken beef....I know it's rib eye but it is always tender like filet mignon. My husband's favorite pork there is the grilled pork. I like the chicken because it is always tender and delicious. The pot stickers are THE BEST that I have tasted anywhere. The food is always consistently good. The people there are always nice. Parking is easy and close. Sometimes they do close for holidays so check their hours. read more
