After class, I was craving bánh mì and decided to try Banh Mi Blvd for the first time based on their reviews. They have a wide selection of bánh mì, bao buns, and drinks. I ordered the Blvd Special, and it was so good. They loaded it with meat and carrots, plus the jalapeños I asked for. I also really liked that they toasted the bread without me having to ask, since not many places do that. I also got their Thai tea with boba, which was super delicious. It was a quick and satisfying meal for under $20. The service was kind and fast, and I'd definitely come back again.
Came in on Sunday to find a cute little mini-mart offering not just bahn mi, but a wide array of Viet classics and reimagined favorites. All the prices are super reasonable, and the portions are generous. We got the BBQ Pork Bahn Mi and it was great, perfect textbook example. The owner was at the register and was very friendly, absolutely go support this fantastic local business.
Friendly, fast service. Food was tasty...best thing was the fresh-baked bread. I ordered the BBQ beef short ribs banh mi (#12) and my husband got the BBQ pork banh mi (#6). Both had a good ratio of vegetables and meat. Sandwiches were about a good long and neither of us could finish so we're saving the other halves for later. We also ordered the Banh Mi Blvd fries with roasted chicken. Fries were crispy and the roasted chicken was sliced in thin stripes. Fries were covered in a spicy mayo with finely shredded carrots. Nice flavor...slightly sweet with a good kick. Looking forward to trying some of the other menu items like the drinks and sandwiches with shrimp, egg or longanisa. Sat at an outdoor table which was perfect because it was a breezy day. Inside seating was limited but tbh it was kind of busy/messy in there so I welcomed the less crowded space outside. Lots of parking. Definitely worth a try if you're in the area!
WOW!! As a banh mi lover, I was a little skeptical at first, but everything was amazing!! (All for a little over $20 too) Tried 4 different banh mi tacos and all of them tasted amazing!! If I had to rank my personal favorites, it'd be bbq pork, lemongrass ribeye, longanisa, and chicken. BLVD fries were 10/10. Fries were crispy, not too thick nor oily!! The sauce and toppings all complemented well with each other too. Having it served in a cute little Valentine's container was a cherry on top haha! Service was great as well. The guy made us feel welcomed, answered all our questions, and we had a great conversation going.
The food wasn't bad, but nothing impressive enough that I'd be dying to come back. It was pretty average overall. Service was good, quick & efficient. Only a few tables for seating, plenty of parking in the lot. It's more an order to-go type of place.
Came here after a hike, and it was the perfect spot to grab a banh mi! Parking: 5/5 Huge parking lot in a plaza. Service: 5/5 Fast, efficient, and friendly. Banh Mi: 5/5 The baguette was soft and pillowy. Fresh vegetables, with the egg and tofu cooked perfectly. Amazing fish sauce and peanut butter sauce (I love my sauces). I devoured my sandwich! Ambiance: 5/5 Plenty of seating, both indoors and outdoors. The place was clean and inviting. I'll definitely be back to try more of their food items and a smoothie. I also love that they offer Filipino items like longanisa, and they even have Spam and Egg rice bowls!
Great bao buns and avocados smoothie! The service was excellent from Kong, he was super friendly and informative. If you need a great snack or lunch while waiting for tires come here. They play music and are super chill.
Solid spot. The spicy salt and pepper wings were pretty good. The worker was super kind and had great customer service. The banh mi wasn't super crumbly which I liked. I'm not sure if they have any sandwiches with pate but I definitely want to come back and try some! Small spot, not a lot of seating but they have some outdoor tables as well.
I got the lemongrass ribeye Banh mi. Idk why I was expecting ribeye slices. Silly me. It's more like Philly cheesesteak ribeye. The bread is on the softer side which I'm okay with (roof of my mouth wasn't torn up). Okay, so as someone who grew up eating super fresh meat, this meat was fresh. Maybe a little too fresh. Like a dead animal. I think it's time for me to go full vegan.
Not bad for banh mi. I stopped by here after my dentist appointment next door. The entrance is not immediately visible and it's around the corner which makes the place look closed. Service is pretty fast, I got my sandwich in less than 10 minutes. I got the grilled pork, but it didn't seem like the pork was freshly grilled. Like many reviews say, the baguette is not crispy as you would expect for a banh mi. I did like the amount of daikon and carrots, and the fresh bite of jalapeño and cilantro. Overall, it's not the best banh mi I have had but fine for a quick bite. I would try their other sandwiches like their #1 or #2 special that have intriguing fillings. The interior is small but had a lot of seating. They also had a good amount of merch for sale like water bottles and keychains and even Hello Kitty funkopops, pretty cool for a small banh mi shop!
I have been wanting to try this place for a very long time. I was finally in the area. We ordered the BBQ pork Banh Mi, one egg roll (was okay), and Lemongrass ribeye Banh Mi fries. Unfortunately, this place didn't live up to the hype. I was disappointed in the bread quality. It was soft and slightly old tasting. The meat was on the dry side too. The cashier was friendly. We waited about 10 mins for our food. We were the only people there. The cashier did inform us that they just got back from a huge catering event. I liked the huge variety of can drink options. From water, energy drinks, soda, juices, & etc. Overall: - Flavor: 6 out of 10 - Food Quantity: 7 out of 10 - Value: 6 out of 10 - Service: 7 out of 10 - Cleanliness: 8 out of 10 - Restrooms: they don't have one for the public I might give it another chance if I'm in the area again because I did want to try their Banh-burrito.
Ordered the #12 BBQ Short Ribs and was extremely impressed. The perfect ratio to meat and veggies, highly recommend this place.
Reviews are generally positive. People praise the flavorful banh mi sandwiches, generous portions, and friendly and helpful staff. The space is clean and inviting.

I was always intrigued by this place. I'm not usually into fusion, but this seems to work. Overall, I loved the food. Got the burrito with bbq pork. I questioned whether or not I would like the jalapeño poppers and mozzarella sticks, but once I bit into it, I loved it. It's the perfect burrito to have after a few drinks. It was rich but perfectly balanced with the pickled radish and carrots. I also got the fries but with lemongrass ribeye. I think I preferred the lemongrass ribeye over the bbq pork. It's packed with flavor. Loved the fries. Definitely prefer this over carne asada fries any day. I knocked a star just because I didn't love the vietnamese coffee. It was concentrated, which I liked, but it had a flavor note to it that I couldn't recognize. Will definitely come back to try the tacos and sandwiches. Will update my review then! read more

I got the number 6. BBQ Pork Sandwich. Let me just say it was amazing. The pork was cooked to perfection and I love how it's a ratio of 50/50 half veggie half meat most places give you more greenery than they do meat. The bread on the banh mi was the best. It was toasted just enough, but not enough to jack up the roof of my mouth haha! Over all 1,000,000 out of 10. I will be coming back. Soooo good must try !!! read more
This is a great place to go for a quick meal on the go! I would not dine in since seating is limited, AC was questinonable, and the place overall could be better kept; however, for a take out place, this shop had exactly what we wanted - springs rolls with NO noodles! Without having to ask for substitutions, we ordered their spring rolls, which are made with a meat (or vegetarian), lettuce, cilantro, and pickled daikon and carrots. We opted for the chicken, which has another bonus of no MSG and is baked! Perfect for a light lunch. Definitely will be back to try their other springs rolls, or maybe their tacos. Yum! read more

I'm giving it a two only bc the guy was nice. I ordered the "Grilled" chicken breast and my husband got lemongrass short rib Bahn Mi. My order was definitely NOT grilled it was fried!! My husband's sandwich had barely any meat and the meat he did bite into was fat...so if you want a greasy fried (not grilled chicken breast and fatty sandwich than this is your place! read more

Awesome food and great customer service. I ordered the blvd fries. Lemon grass beef wasn't dry and the serving size was insane without skimping out any of the ingredients read more
Yum! Love that they have traditional bánh mì, as well as bánh mì bowls and tacos. And salt and pepper wings! Their menu is deep. I got the #2 Joe's Special, with sausage (lập xưởng), pork loaf (chả), and egg, while boyf got the surf and turf (pork and shrimp). The sandwiches are huge, and well worth the $10-12 cost, packed full of meat and fresh, snappy jalapeños. It was so good that halfway through I was contemplating going back to get sandwiches for lunch for the work week. I need to come back to try the bowls and those wings next! read more

I stopped by this place for lunch as the front of the store got my attention. The inside was a bit dark & not as appealing as the outside. I ordered the bbq banh mi.The sandwich was good but the cilantro seemed a bit old. The bread was also missing that crunch. The staff here weren't too welcoming but the service was quick. Honestly not sure if I'd come back here again. The banh mi was $10.80. read more
They serve some great Banh Mi and Vietnamese fusion cuisine here at a decent price. If you're looking for a quick meal that'll fill you, this is the place to go. The service was nice and quick; I got the #2 Joe's Special and it was so creamy and delicious! read more
This is my first time buying banh mi sandwiches post COVID, so I don't know if the price is unusually expensive here, or whether this is standard across the board at other Vietnamese sandwich shops. I paid $9 for a 12-inch #1 special that has pate and all the cold meats. I have to admit, I was rather disappointed on multiple levels. My cousin bought some sandwiches from here in January and I remember the quality was better and there was definitely more meat. I'm not sure what happened, but here are my list of disappointments (this applies to the 3 sandwiches I purchased): 1. The cost. $9 for a Vietnamese sandwich? $29.09 including tax for the 3 sandwiches. 2. The bread was 12 inches long but very skinny. 3. The bread was not fresh, tasted stale. 4. Where's the meat?? For a $9 skinny sandwich, at least provide a little more meat to offset the cost. The shop looked like it was closed. It was a bit dark and there were piles of boxes on your right side as you entered. Service was fast, I got my sandwich within 5 minutes. That was probably the only good thing about my experience. This was my first time coming here and will be my last. I understand inflation and don't mind paying more for a sandwich, but the quality has to be there. read more

Writing this on a food high from the Kirby Special! ($11) & an iced coffee (sm $4) Haven't had a banh mi since I moved from East Side San Jose where we have our own little Saigon and this place did not disappoint! Words don't do it justice so here's a pic for reference.. warning size does matter ;) read more

Great food and service here. The men who helped us were really communicative when we waited in line- they mentioned that they were working on an order and that they'd be there to take our order in a minute. I ordered a bbq pork and shrimp banh mi and I loved it. The pork was really tender and well seasoned, and the veggies in the sandwich were sliced and well placed in the sandwich. Each bite had some veggies and meat in it. While we were eating, we could smell the bread they were cooking! Everything is fresh here. Make sure to try a Vietnamese coffee here as well. It's not too sweet and not too bitter. I thought it was just right. read more
The mango tango smoothie was good and delicious. On the sweet side so I'd limit the amount I'd get as I'm trying to cut out my sugar intake but it's very delicious. The Vietnamese coffee was absolutely amazing. Very strong and it will totally wake you up!! I'd Definetly be back for that coffee drink alone!!! read more

Honest review inbound. Love the food here, price is right. Sandwiches are a good size and filling. Service is fast and every time I've ever came here the service was delivered with a smile. Food is always delicious. Real talk tho, your dining room is terrible. You're using it for a storage space. Just take a look around and ask yourself if you would eat in there. One table set right next to the janky trash can? Cmon now. Xmas tree in the dining room? Nah Fam. Get rid of the funkos. What's up with this cart in the corner and your dirty ass mop signs next to it? Nasty. Everything is great but the dining room is a disaster. Sorry, but it's the truth. Just do something about it... and you'll be fine. Suggestion - theme it out with photos from Vietnam, something related to your culture . Get rid of all that noise. Good luck! read more

Is that Thai tea dairy free?
Thai iced tea is not typically dairy free. The tea is brewed, then mixed with condensed milk and served over ice. You may be able to ask if there are alternative milks available.
Yelp says you're open at 8am, I came at 8:30am and you were closed is the yelp hours wrong?
It's a family owned business, so sometimes they close early or open late.
Do they have vegan sandwiches?
Yes I believe so. You can always just change a sandwich already to not have meat in it as well.
