Service charge of 4% is bogus. Why do we have to pay for the restaurants cash register? This is what I was told the service fee is for. Food was mediocre. read more

Stopped in for a lunch exploring Main St near The University of Delaware in Newark. Ordered a Thai Ice Tea along with a standard Banh Mi as this was my first time checking this place out. I'll be back for the other variations with family as they always enjoy a good crispy banh mi with either pate and cold cuts like the one I had or beef teriyaki. The banh mi had all the parts to it. There were pickled veggies; carrots and turnip, a slide of spicy jalapeños which got me reaching for my Thai Ice Tea. The Mayo and pate spread could have been a little more along with the cold cuts as I always appreciate a stuffed Banh Mi because getting messy with your food means you are enjoying it right? The bun was toasted well and had a crunch to it. They don't have an extensive menu for bubble tea like Kung Fu Tea or T Barr down the road but it's best to do what you do best and stick with your namesake. The outdoor seating is nice but do keep in mind that you are on a busy road and though the cars driving by are always pleasant to watch; the occasional truck will ruin your meal and leave you smell smog on a still day. All in all with Banh Mi near my work and getting my lunch done in about 45 min it's a good bet that I'll be back for more! read more

Banh Mi Boy - Original Banh Mi with Thai Ice Tea for lunch. - Vietnamese Near Me - Newark, Delaware

This place is delicious. The bread is my favorite part... the roast pork and pork belly sandwiches are great. The pork is awesome but it's the bread that's the real star. Light, fluffy, lightly crunch on the outside... yum. The sandwich is served warm and they're nice. Service is good! They'll wrap whether Cash saves you the 4% credit card fee! read more

The place is called Banh Mi Boy but also offers some noodle and rice dishes. It's as if it isn't sure its banh mi can stand on its own. Well, if it's a place called Banh Mi Boy, I'm ordering the banh mi. Unfortunately, as it turns out, it's simply not trying hard enough. While the service was friendly, this isn't a banh mi that seems like any care is put into it. The most important part of any sandwich is arguably the bread. The bread offered here, which is quite soft throughout, seems to be meant for other purposes (i.e., cheesesteak?) - but not banh mi. The meat and vegetable ingredients in my "original" were sub-standard and pretty forgettable for a banh mi -- there's very little of each and there wasn't much excitement in each bite. Yes, I finished it, but it didn't make me want to come back at all. And I always love a good banh mi. So there's plenty of room for improvement. If it's true that they are under new ownership (according to another recent review), I hope they take this as a chance to improve. The area needs a good banh mi, one that makes us remember it. read more

Solid, authentic banh mi at a good price from a nice family. Some days the roast pork is of higher quality than others. Overall one of the better options in town for a quick takeout lunch. read more

Delicious banh mi on walking distance of a college campus. We were on vacation and on our road trip stopped by here after reviewing from other yelpers and boy, lunch did not disappoint. First, upon arrival, I noticed that we are in walking distance from an university college. There is a parking lot for the customers which is awesome. As soon as we walked in, we're greeted by the friendly staff. The menu is right behind the counter and they have lunch specials for $6.95 and up and you can have a whole banh mi sandwich, bag of chip and can soda. We ordered 4 different lunch special banh mi: chicken, the original (which is usually called banh mi dac biet in other banh mi shops), pork and a vegetarian. We grabbed our selection of chips and soda and sat. The orders were brought out to us in minutes. The crispy French baguette with the meat fillings and tofu fillings along with the pickled carrots, cilantro, cucumber and jalapeño slices, siracha and mayo are all so yummy! They do have a few table seatings and some high seats along the store front. The place also serve rice dishes. For light eaters or those who just want to sample more than one banh mi, you can do so by ordering their half size banh mi. Overall, good food and service, clean place, has parking!!! read more

I've tried 6 of the sandwiches and they were all amazing. Hands down my favorite was the Original, followed by the Vietnamese sausage. The chicken curry was tasty as well as the pho one. If i could offer a suggestion would be to serve the pho one with pho broth on the side to dip, like a French dip. Roast pork and the meatball ones were also legit. read more

Banh Mi Boy - Original Banh Mi and Vietnamese Sausage banh mi - Vietnamese Near Me - Newark, Delaware

I love college towns! So many great little restaurants like Banh Mi Boy. This one is a must visit. It's off the beaten path so you have to seek it out and it's well worth it. It's a sleek sparse large dining area with bright orange walls and lots of plain white tables. A simple menu of a few choice Banh Mi sandwiches and some other offering and some cool tunes. The people here are fast and friendly but it's the food that's the superstar. Fresh veggies are bright and vibrant but the meats are the headliner and wow what a show. Get in this place and have a great sandwich experience. read more

Friendly staff, tasty banh mi, and an inexpensive meal..can't go wrong with this place! We stopped by for lunch while biking from Edgewater, MD to Philly. The owner allowed us to bring our bikes in to enjoy some AC instead of sitting outdoor. We got the summer rolls and Pho Banh Mi to share. The portion was quite large, so it was perfect for sharing between 2 people. The food was tasty, and the mango smoothie was spot on! read more

Food is not good , quantity is small. Service is poor. Need to wait at least 40 mins. We still gave good tip but Will not go back

Last Thursday I decided to pass on eating in and came here. I ordered the Vietnamese meatballs platter but got the sandwich. This however was an honest miscommunication. I saw it on the menu but never specified the platter. Nonetheless my server offered to take back the sandwich and give me the platter. He came out and said they had to make the rice and it would take 15 minutes to which I said no problem. As I waited he checked on me and said my food wouldn't be much longer. I can say the wait was well worth it. The meatballs were very tasty and the side salad and sweet dressing complimented the meatballs and rice very well. I typically take leftovers home but I tore this dish up in one shot. The meal was not only tasty but relatively healthy and clean compared to other dine-out options. Once I paid the check my server saw I was looking to throw out some trash and he nicely offered to throw it out for me inside as he was closing up. In addition to my meal hitting the spot respect goes to my server for his patience and humility in handling my order, giving me the benefit of the doubt by switching out my order free of charge, showing concern and regard by communicating with me as I was waiting, and extending courtesy by throwing out my trash as he was closing (the seemingly little things count as big things to me). Easily well-deserved 5-star rating! read more

Food: I have lived in the elkton/newark area almost all my life and I am so sad that I am just now learning about this place! This place is a gold mine!!! The meat is cooked and seasoned with so much flavor. The rice and vegetables with that side sauce all go to together beautifully. Don't even start me on the bread. It's so warm and fluffy! The best roll I've ever had. Also the lychee soda is SOO GOOD! Did I mention this food is dirt cheap?! This is my new favorite place on Main Street. This is a must try for sure! Service: the guy that took our order so so cool and very friendly. We had a exchanged a few words with him whole we were waiting to order and he was very kind. Other: if you're a student, this place seems like a great study/homework spot. We went to eat on a weekday afternoon and there were plenty of open tables. If I went to UD this would definitely be my go to study spot. read more

Before owners changed I used to love the summer rolls at Banh Mi Boy. After the change I went twice, never again. The price changed from around $6.25 to $9.75 and the size of the rolls decreased by 30 percent. There were 2 small pieces of pork in each roll. Rolls were tiny. Compare to Pork Summer Rolls at Pho Cali, you can see slices of pork rolled around and you get 4 large rolls for $10, compared to 3 summer 'noodle' rolls. Very disappointing. read more

Located around the University of Delaware, this sandwich shop has parking and tables for patrons to dine in. They have specials for the sandwiches that includes chips and soda. We ordered four types of sandwiches that includes roast pork, chicken, original, and vegetarian. The usual fillings were carrots, cilantro, cucumbers, and jalapeno peppers that came with the sandwiches. I personally enjoyed the vegetarian one the most if I had to choose just one. The baguette was delicious because it was soft and toasted lightly just the way i liked mine. The breading seemed to be perfect with the texture. They also served rice dishes, but we didn't get a chance to try it. Overall, I would eat here again if I was in the area. read more

Delicious food and great service by a family-run business. Have tried a variety of their sandwiches and enjoyed them all. The rolls are fantastic! read more

I must admit Joju in NYC set the bar really high for me so what may seem like a 4 to me may seem like a 5 to many others. Traveling through Delaware we decided to make a stop here for lunch. The place was super clean and quiet not much interaction between us and the staff. My husband ordered a BBQ pork banh mi while I ordered a pork banh mi. While his was great I was a bit disappointed because I hadn't realized that it would made with a pork roll, I do wish that would have been a little more transparent. Overall the sandwich was good just not exactly what I would have wanted. I will say these were the largest banh mi sandwiches I've ever had usually they baguettes are smaller. That wasn't the case here they were footlong. The milk teas were amazing especially the Tarro, if passing through Delaware I would stop again just for that. read more

Food was delicious and the service was great! We had a banh mi sandwich and the summer rolls. Highly recommend both!

We ended up at Banh Mi Boy after an afternoon exploring the outdoors. Banh Mi sandwiches are typically simple. However, don't let their simplistic deceive you, they are still rather tasty. Banh Mi Boy offers a standard (Original) sandwich as well as a handful of others. They also offer drinks, summer rolls, and platters. We decided to try a pair of sandwiches, the pho sandwich and the pork belly. While the pho sandwich was my selection, the pork belly beat it by a mile and would be my clear recommendation. Don't get me wrong, pho meat and toppings on a banh mi sandwich was a clever idea and tasty, that pork was perfectly cooked. I'm glad we decided to get two full sandwiches, as a half each would probably not have filled us up! read more

Great Vietnamese eatery for lunch and dinner! Spacious indoor dining area for groups of any size. They even have parking spaces on the side of the building. Friendly customer service!

my sandwich and dumplings come out 15 minutes before my friend's microwaved meal. I watched my meal get cold waiting so I could eat with her like a shared meal as planned. In the end my dumplings were rubbery and tepid with bits of cold pork. I'm not picky, but this was not a palatable meal judging by the dumplings, or even hot. Very bad. Do not recommend. The sandwich was good however. Crisp. read more

Took me a year to find a true banh mi place here, we are a military family originally from San Diego where Vietnamese food is everywhere. This place is amazing, clean, and makes delicious banh mi with plenty of variety. I like love the original while my husband who isn't usually a fan loves their pork belly banh mi. This is quickly becoming a regular place to visit for us after our weekly/biweekly Costco visits. The staff is another reason to visit, very welcoming and friendly. read more

We love this place! It's a family owned business that should not be passed up. The soup, rolls, sandwiches and dinners are great. Eat here today! read more

Maybe I went on an off day, but I wasn't a huge fan of the food here. I ordered the original banh mi and a taro boba smoothie while my husband had a curry chicken banh mi. The bread was really hard, and it wasn't easy to chew. On the other hand the tapioca balls of the boba were kind of soft. It should usually be the other way around. I had a bite of my husband's curry chicken, and the filling was delicious while carrots and daikon on my banh mi were the best part of my sandwich. I'm not being facetious, daikon is one of my favorite foods. I think I read that they serve bowls instead of sandwiches. If I came here again, I'd go for one of the bowls and skip the boba smoothie. If you're looking for a great Banh Mi, come to Florida. Maybe I had too high of expectations based on where I live. read more

I'm not sure why things have changed, but today's bang mi was disappointing. The previous gentleman used to take great care in putting together the sandwiches. Today, the vegetables were cut inconsistently and not evenly distributed. Some of the jalapeños were 1/2 inch thick. The meat was ice cold. I hope this was just a fluke. read more

Get me a bahn me sandwich now! Love these! Great value! YUM

I am a big fan of Banh Mi Boy as you can probably tell from the multiple checkins over time. I have sampled the different Banh Mi offerings, including some of their specials. The bread is well made, not quite the usual baguette that I am used to but I think that is more of a Delaware supply thing. The crust is still crisp and flaky. The pickled veggies are well made, crisp and crunchy carrot and daikon with he right amount of vinegary bite to it. The spreadables (depends on which type of banh mi you get) is always well made and generous. The different meats are succulent and juicy when appropriate. My favorite is the meatball followed by the pork. I enjoy banh mi and this is the best banh mi in Delaware. Salads, bubble tea, desserts, and spring rolls are also on the menu and worth a try. If there are any specials they will likely be good as this is the same family that run the Saigon restaurant down the road in Newark. The staff and owners are friendly, fast, and always cheerful at the shop. read more

I love their original banh mi! I never had banh mis anywhere else so I can't comment or compare but I'm addicted to the sandwiches here. All the ingredients are so fresh! I can recommend the meatball, chicken, and roast pork banh-mis, too but the original's my favorite. I've tried to pho banh mi once and never got it again because it tasted rather boring and nothing like pho. They have a frequent diner card which gets you a free sandwich after you buy 5. Banh mi boy also has the best bubble tea and blended (asian) drinks on main street. Their bubble tea blows Tealicious out of the water. I know it's just bubble tea powder, pearls and a blender but they do it right. They don't skimp on the bubble tea powder and their blender does not leave ice chunks, and the bubbles are the right consistency in terms of chewiness. Another thing to try is the coconut dessert drink they have. It's white and green in color. So good! It's pricey though so I don't get it every time. I didn't give this place 5 stars because some of their food items could use improvement. 1, the tum yum soup is not yummy at all. It tastes like boiled vinegar sprinkled with bean sprouts. 2. the summer rolls and salads are okay, not memorable, and overpriced. 3. the rice they serve is cooked wrong or something, mushy in some places and hard in other places and grainy, not at all what Asian rice should be. It tastes more like microwaved bagged rice. I say, do try their banh mi but skip out on the spring rolls, salad, and soup (there's better at other vietnamese restaurants). You can also get their rice platter if you prefer rice over bread, which I think is a decent value, too. Overall, this place is the cheapest/healthiest eat on main street. You can't beat $5 for a whole sub! read more

I stopped by this place on both legs of a recent trip from DC to NJ. The first time it was because we needed to make a pit stop, the second time, I deliberately drove off of the optimal route so that I could revisit this place. All I can say is that I wish there was a place like this in DC. The Banh Mi is cheap and delicious. In fact, since its a college town, Im sure that the students must realize that its pretty much the best bang for your buck when taste is a factor. read more

I'm looking forward to eating here soon! read more

I am a HUGE Banh Mi fan. And...I am really picky. Most places get the bread wrong... lack flavor...and generally just don't understand what it is that Maes this such a great sandwich. Banh Mi Boy gets it all right. The bread is great and so are all the fillings. What they do different is offer some non-traditional Banh Mi that are spectacular. the Pho Beef Bahn me is like taking a bite of Pho. It tastes exactly like Pho if it were a sandwich. The curry Chicken is also great...not traditional, but just delicious. The Vietnamese Sausage is spicy and delicious as well. They also have Pho on certain days as well as a lemongrass soup that is very delicious. The place is clean and the staff friendly. The ONLY quibble is they don't put enough cilantro on...but as long as you ask, they'll load it up with as much of the toppings as you like! Plus they have Bubble tea and offer all of their flavors as rice bowls as well. I highly recommend this place. read more

Okay Okay Banh Mi! Love Love Love this place. Simple menu, simple ordering process and simply terrific food. A bonus is that the owner is absolutely adorable and beyond pleasant to all of his customers. I've had the Chicken Ban Mi Sandwich and the Vegetarian as well. Mmmm Vegan Mayo! Both were great, the roll was fresh and had just the right amount of crunch. The friendly owner let me order one sandwich and gave me half chicken and half tofu, individually wrapped. Very accommodating sir! Surprisingly, I found the veggie to have more flavor. The Tofu Salad had a ginger soy dressing that was sweet but not overbearing. Definitely a great choice for when you're not too hungry. Next visit I'm trying the bubble tea! read more
