    Original Banh Mi with Thai Ice Tea for lunch.
    Daryl P.

    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!

    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!!!

    Original Banh Mi and Vietnamese Sausage banh mi
    . ..

    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.

    The roast pork Banh Mi. So good

    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.

    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.

    Pork Summer Rolls at Pho Cali $10.00

    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.

    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.

    Sesame milk tea
    Theresa A.

    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.

The service is mediocre again what one would expect in one of these small restaurants. The reason for the three for my rating was the table where I sat, had every plastic soup spoon with debris on them. You may think this is petty however it's the little things that matter in a restaurant, the attention to detail, one had to notice those spoons because they had to be stacked in their holder. Makes you wonder what else is being overlooked in the kitchen area?

While I thought it is fine for a neighborhood Vietnamese spot, it was not worth going out of the way to come here. We tried the bun bo hue (beef lemongrass pho) and a combo of beef pho and a pork hoagie. The lemongrass pho had pork feet, 4 small pieces of beef, and 3 slices of Vietnamese ham. Aside from the spice, the broth lacked depth. The hoagies were small and was mostly just bread with very little meat. In general, I found their portions to be small and the ratio of meat to stuff (noodles, bread, etc) is rather low. The combo portions are the same size as the kids portions. The server said that it is roughly 2/3 of the regular portion but I think it is less than that. On the plus side, I think they've done a good job of adapting their menu to appeal to people that are not familiar with Vietnamese food.
