We traveled all the way from Sweden to try Banh Mi Oven -- and it was absolutely worth the trip! The food was incredible, the flavors were amazing, and you can really taste the care that goes into every bite. This was definitely one of the highlights of our trip to San Jose. Thank you for an unforgettable meal! Tony & Johanna Sweden read more

We were craving something light on a hot day and happened to come across a BOGO deal on DoorDash for a small Cold Cut Combo Bánh Mì. It was such a great deal that we knew we had to give this place a try! Our order was ready when we arrived, even though it looked like there was only one person working at the time. The shop itself has a unique vibe, with an interesting décor that immediately caught our attention--there's even a piano right at the front, which gives the place a fun and unexpected touch. We decided to upgrade to the toasted garlic bread, and it was absolutely worth the extra cost. The bread came out warm, crispy, and packed with even more flavor. It really elevated the sandwich. The banh me was good. This location is a bit of a drive for us, but if they continue offering deals like this, we'll definitely be back. Great value, quick service, and a delicious bánh mì! read more

It's a very post Covid cafe with not much decoration or ambiance tbh. You walk in and order on a kiosk and it doesn't feel too great. I got the fried fish cake and Vietnamese coffee. There was a decent amount of filling and I liked the garlic bread but the flavor was lacking. The coffee was decent but could always be stronger. read more

This place definitely doesn't skimp on the portion size. A large here is cut into 2 sandwiches and 1 half is usually most places' regular sized sandwich. Overall it's a pretty decent sandwich, not the biggest fan of the baguette that they use but in a crunch, it works out. read more

Holy cow, did I enjoy their sammies or what?!One of the best if not the best Vietnamese sandwich experience I've ever had. Get their sandwiches on garlic bread, folks. It's to die for. Super yummy. read more

My job order food here and and honestly I like it the bread was soft and vegetables are fresh.

Our experience with Banh Mi Oven is, unfortunately, underwhelming. We're from out of town, placed an order on Chowbus Direct, got confirmation that it was placed, order being prepared and ready for pickup. We went to the business but no one was there. Fence gate was locked. We called the business phone number several times, and no one picked up the phone. It was around 7:00 p.m. Their business website said their business hour ending time is 9:00 p.m. on Sunday. Both Google and Yelp also confirmed their business hour. We don't know how anyone can operate a business like this. We don't mind if their business hour closes early Sunday, but at least make sure that it reflects correctly on your business website. We submitted payment through third-party online and now are trying to get a refund because the business apparently was closed earlier than their stated business hours. read more

It's a pretty good alternative when Duc Huong across the street runs out of bread before closing and you don't want to drive out to Tully to get to Huong Lan before they close at 8PM. Got the grilled pork sandwich and it was good. Nothing ground breaking or anything, but it's good sign that the sandwiches here are solid. I ordered it untoasted so I could take it home and pop it into my air fryer to get the right amount of crunchiness on the bread that I personally like. read more

Honestly, not worth it. My friend and I ordered through DoorDash - four different banh mi, a lemongrass grilled pork vermicelli plate, and a green Thai milk tea. Unfortunately, the milk tea didn't show up (not sure whose fault that was, but still a bummer). We got one small tofu/egg banh mi, one small lemongrass chicken, one large char siu, and one large grilled pork. Everything came toasted and with veggies, but the two large banh mi didn't have enough veggies, since I asked for them on side - and they completely left out the pickled daikon and carrots. The proteins were bland, and without those pickled veggies, the flavors just fell flat. Overall, super disappointed with the order. read more

Sandwiches are still great, taste is still good. But recently I decided to get a little wild and opted for the more expensive banh mi by getting crispy pork instead of my usual. On the yelp menu, it's about a $1 more so in the moment I figured it wasn't a big deal going for it. I previously had the crispy pork banh mi in SoCal and it was deliciousssss, so when I saw Banh mi oven offered it I decided to try it. Again, I love Banh mi oven and I think their sandwiches still taste really good. BUT as a regular customer, i was very disappointed in their crispy pork. It wasn't crispy, it was really chewy. I've had a crispy pork belly sandwich ordered for me before, waited for me for 2 hours and it was still crispy. Not only was banh mi oven's not crispy, but I paid an extra dollar to only receive 3 pieces of pork belly :( if I paid a dollar less for one of the other sandwiches, I'm sure it would've been filled. when I first bit into my sandwich, I still thought it was delicious because I love pate, viet mayo, pickled carrots daikon, cilantro and jalapeños lol butttttt then I realized I didn't bite into any meat. I was waiting for that crispy crunchy satisfaction and juicy tender meat. I opened up my sandwich and saw those 3 sad soggy little pieces of pork belly :,) fairly, I felt disappointed. It did make me think, I'm probably going to stop going to banh mi oven. Right now the one thing that puts it over the other neighboring banh mi places is the fact that they do online orders. I have a problem when it comes to talking to ppl :) so out of comfort and anxiety relief, I appreciate the choice to order online. My advice, don't fix what's not broken. Whatever type of meat you like from a certain restaurant, stick to it. I will most likely go back to my regular order from banh mi oven but not for awhile. I'm going to give them time to figure out their groove since their move. I was also not okay with the fact that when I walked into the store, there was open boxES of baguettes. Immediately wondered if it was old bread being thrown away or bread that was shipped to the store... either way, I feel like bread shouldn't be left in open boxes by an open door?? read more

I love banh mi!! My BFF brought me here when I had a super craving for a sammy! I got the B17. Fried tofu sandwich and he got the teriyaki chicken sandwich. They were hot, fresh, ready, even at 8:30pm on a Sunday night! Ambiance is giving my Auntie's kitchen vibes and it is cozy on the patio! I love the Minion with the sandwich statue, so charming! I definitely recommend coming here and supporting small businesses read more

We initially wanted to go to a different spot for bánh mì, but it had run out, so we ended up at this place since it was nearby. Looking back, I should have trusted my gut. From the moment we walked in, it was clear this place is struggling. The fridge by the entrance looked unkempt, the kitchen felt more like a cramped kitchenette than a professional setup, and the dining area was completely chaotic. The tables and chairs piled up everywhere with absolutely no place to sit. The food only confirmed my suspicions. Their pork tasted like plain pork. You know you're at a good bánh mì spot when the grilled pork carries the smoky, caramelized flavor of barbecue chicken, but here, there was none of that. The bread was technically good, crispy on the outside and soft inside, but even that couldn't save the experience. I came with my sister, who had never tried bánh mì before, and it was a terrible first impression for her. Between the run-down environment, the underwhelming food, and the sense that the place might be on its last legs, it was not worth our time or appetite. I will definitely not be returning read more

I walked from Vietnam Town, to try their Bánh mì sandwiches. I tried the Beef Bulgogi sandwich, and I was pleasantly how delicious it was! read more

I ordered the small size Char Siu pork banh mi, but unfortunately was disappointed. I will say for the price, it was a pretty good size, as the roll itself is small, but they stuff the roll very full so it ends up being plenty! The char siu pork did not have enough char siu flavor for me and tasted more like a salt and pepper pork. I also wished there was more veggies versus meat, as it was like 90% meat, 10% veggies. My banh mi also did not have any jalapeños or daikon, so it was only the carrot and minimal cilantro and cucumber. I do appreciate how many banh mi options this place had so everyone would be able to find something they'd like, but I have had better. read more

My family loves a good bánh mì and the bánh mì here are exceptionally good. I love that you can place your order online and customize each sandwich as you please. The variety of sandwiches you can choose from is insane. You can order familiar favorites or try something completely new. While everyone in my family stuck to the more traditional bánh mìs, I ordered the ham and cheese sandwich ($11) because what better way to enjoy a ham and cheese than to eat it in a baguette. The sandwich comes with ham, a fried egg, egg mayo, soy sauce + pepper. I just really love eating eggs in a baguette and the egg mayo or aioli + soy sauce just made it that much better. They bake their bread in house and it's a damn good baguette - chewy soft inside with a nice crusty exterior. We ordered for a big group and all the sandwiches were hits. Plus you basically get a foot long baguette for ten dollars. In fact, it's so substantial that you can split a sandwich between two people. Highly recommend getting a sandwich from here if you're looking for a quick and easy meal. read more

I enjoyed my meal from here. We ordered in a group, and since everybody had different vegetable preferences, we got the veggies on the side. The restaurant packaged everything up generously and securely in plastic bags and paper wrappers. I got the grilled pork banh mi I'm a half size, which was quite sizeable especially when bulked up with veggies. I really liked the meat texture and flavor. The bread was good, but not the freshest that I've ever had. I'd definitely come back - the price, quality, and portions are all solid. I love the option to do a half sandwich, and online ordering is easy. read more

I have been craving delicious Bánh Mi sandwich and I have found my spot. Menu has lots of different sandwiches that come in 2 sizes. I got the small pork banh mi with everything for $5.

Got a grilled pork banh mi. It was pretty mediocre. Super bready, and the bread was not particularly fresh. $10.95 (with tax, using cash) makes it one of the most expensive banh mis in the area. Can't say I recommend. Service is good! read more

Banh Mi Oven - P6. Grilled Pork Banh Mi - Sandwiches Near Me - San Jose, California

Ordered on DoorDash because my boyfriend really wanted a Pork Belly Bahn Mi after a long day of work. He ordered 1 Large Crispy Pork Belly Bahn Mi with Avocado. Only to receive a Crispy Pork Belly Bahn Mi with tons of cilantro & pickled carrots, no avocado that he paid an extra $3 for AND a hefty piece of latex glove wrapped in his bahn mi. Reported it to DoorDash & got a refund but how do you not notice a piece of your glove is missing?! Yeah never ordering from this place again, lesson learn. First & last time! read more

I wouldn't recommend coming here. The egg isn't even an egg. The eggs taste like hotel breakfast egg where it comes out of a carton. Honestly thought this place would have been good but they literally forgot the pickle daikon which I was most excited for. The prices are more expensive than others. Should have went to duc houng. :( read more

Banh Mi Oven - Pork terrain with egg - Sandwiches Near Me - San Jose, California

This place is a great choice if you're looking for a filling meal with good flavor and a reasonable price. However, please note that it's only suitable for takeout. As a vegetarian, I appreciate that they have more than one Banh Mi option, and to be honest, both that I tried had quite a bit of flavor. The venue is tiny but well-lit, clean, and staffed with welcoming people. I savored a grilled string tofu Banh Mi in a small size featuring marinated string tofu and egg mayo. I also had a small char siu string tofu Banh Mi, which included sweet red BBQ string tofu and egg mayo. I will come back to explore more of its menu. read more

I stayed in San Jose for the weekend and had plenty of food, but I kept seeing this place and had to stop in; first, they didn't have the crispy pork banh Mi so I ordered two others to bring home to San Francisco with me and I told her no jalapeños I don't eat spicy food, I guess she didn't understand because when I got home and bit into my sandwich, my mouth was on fire and I was disappointed and had to pick out the jalapeños. On a positive note 2 sandwiches when cut in half made 4 of what I get in San Francisco which I appreciated as the portions are very generous for the price. I expected them to taste better than in San Francisco but by comparison they were just as tasty. read more

Waited 30 mins to find out that you have to give them the receipt after you order on the kiosk. Apparently I wasn't the only one this happened to since many people were asking for the status of their order. Such a bad user experience. Totally missed that little note next to the printer. Like what's the point of self-serve if you have to give them the receipt after? No one does this that offers kiosk ordering. read more

Banh Mi Oven - Sandwiches Near Me - San Jose, California

I am always looking for new places to try banh mi, and since I am in San Jose, why not? I went to a place called Banh Mi Oven. What I noticed was that this place makes its pate and mayo. Not only that, the bread was fresh. When I went in the mid-afternoon, only one person was working, and it was a good thing it was slow. It is also like a small store selling some chill oil and snacks. read more

It's been a couple years so decided to give them a try since they moved to a new location. Well I won't be back. Came today during lunch hour and ordered a #1 (Thit Nguoi); the cashier said they ran out. So I ended up order a Thit Nuong LARGE. I know this because the cashier asked me if I wanted a small or a large one. When I get back to the office, I unwrap my sandwiches and noticed that they gave me two SMALL sandwiches instead. Sandwich was not warm at all, didn't seem fresh. Also both sandwiches had no daikon. How can a restaurant run out of stuff during the middle of the day? And I found it funny that they didn't mention they were out of the typical large bread that they cut in half. Finally, at $10 - I will go eat across the street at their competitor next time. It's cheaper, more consistent and higher quality product. The 3.5% upcharge for credit cards too... I get the cost of business is not cheap. But come on, do better y'all... read more

If you want to see real life demonstration of Flash (in Zootopia movie), here is the place. Stopped by during lunch time today and had to leave after seeing the way the lady works. There were couple other customers waiting before me and one of them has been waiting 40 minutes. The most worst part is she continues working at her own pace as if all customers waiting there are invisible. read more

Very easy to order, simply order from kiosks and then pick up from the counter when ready. They are generous with their pate and mayo, making a saucier banh mi. read more

I've been to Banh Mi Oven a number of times. I particularly enjoy that they have several vegetarian options. If you buy 5 sandwiches, you get the 6th one free. I always leave with 6 sandwiches. Depending on the time of day, sometimes the sandwiches take longer. Though, I know making 6 sandwiches takes some time. The store also has different grocery and snacks you can buy as well. It is a little crowded in there, but it is full of delicious items. I'll definitely be back in the future. read more

I've eaten here a lot at the old and new shop. One of my favorites. I often use the grub hub to pre order pick ups.

The quality from switching from their old location to the new location was tougher. As parking was harder and the ordering method is no longer human based, so you aren't able to ask for lightly toasted or certain specifics unless your able to get their attention and make sure to catch them before they create your order. It seems as though the options have changed in terms of available sandwiches but they did add a garlic smothered sandwich. Which I will have to try next time! otherwise it was ok, not what we remembered it to be like, but still good enough to enjoy. read more

I mean Banh Mi ...heyyzz yeahh This shop is in the east side over by viet town just before/after the 101 story exit.

Decent place when craving a Banh Mi sandwich! LOVE the Banh Mi size! Skip the small, get the regular size. 2 sandwiches for the price of 1. #winning Ham, Pate and Head Cheese banh mi #1 - (which is what I normally get anywhere/anytime I have a chance). It was good! 3/5 for me. Flavor is fair. Good amount of veggies. I think more mayo and pate wouldn't hurt. Grilled Pork #6 - Funny, because this is normally the Banh Mi that one bite would be all I need (aka not my fav) BUT I like their grilled pork Banh Mi! Tender meat cut into nice small pieces. 3.5/5! Slightly sweet and savory. They offer milk teas and shave ice type drinks. There's also a small little market inside. They sell chips, sauces and more! I would return if I was in the area and needed to get multiple sandwiches for a larger group. Take advantage of their buy 5 get 1 free. Next time I do come, I hope to try their egg rolls before they run out (: read more

I just had a banh mi from Lee's sandwiches and was still hungry and decided to try out this place after noticing my roommate who dislikes me was cooking in the apartment kitchen. The banh mi was very flavorful, even more so than the one at Lee's. The vegetables gave additional flavor and the tofu had a nice texture. The food was reasonably priced but would have been nice if it was 5$. The footlong equivalent to subway is better tasting and had a delicious aroma. The service was solid. The food was done quickly and the girl at the front was smiling at me. I liked that, it made me feel welcomed and inviting. There were other people in there so I think it is somewhat popular. As compared to Lee's banh Mi, i think they are about the same in quantity. Lee's tasted more distinct because it was a fried tofu instead of grilled. The garlic spread helped enhance the flavor of the banh Mi. I ordered the vegetarian tofu at both places. This banh Mi though was a but more expensive than Lee's. Well since this is my second time eating banh Mi, I was happy to try this Vietnamese delicacy I never knew was this good. read more

Honestly amazing, I haven't had a good Banh mi in quite a while so I decided to order delivery. Let me tell you that this place did not disappoint! The bread was perfect, not too crispy and didn't cut my mouth like other places. The P12 was cooked to perfection, if you like pork belly this one is the one to get! I enjoyed my meal and will be back! Highly recommended read more

Reasons to go to Banh Mi Oven: - They have a HUGE menu - so many options to choose from - They have options of regular banh mi and small banh mi, for those with smaller appetites. - Multiple locations So those are the reasons why you would want to go to Banh Mi Oven over other banh mi shops. Despite that, there are better places to go for banh mi. There is a large menu. I can't argue that. So if you want to try something different or want to try one of their interesting banh mi options, you definitely should! I'm boring though so I don't deviate much from my normal orders. They also have different sizes. I do want to point out that if you order a regular, they do cut it into 2 (and thus you have 2 "small" banh mi). Unfortunately the small isn't small enough (for me at least) to be able to order 2 different sandwiches. I was STUFFED after eating my ONE small sandwich. Despite the large menu, we defaulted to the trusty #1 (Cold Cut Combo) and #6 (Grilled Pork). They're pretty quick so although you can now order online, don't worry about ordering in store. I wanted to get meatball also (they were out) but since the small was pretty big, I'm glad I stuck with just one sandwich. My boyfriend could only finish half of his regular size cold cut combo since it was so big. The filling was yummy and the banh mi was stuffed! It was definitely messy to eat (not a bad problem to have necessarily). It was good though. The only thing was we had just had a banh mi the day prior, and found that as good as Banh Mi Oven was, the bread was inferior to the other shop. Definitely a good banh mi though if you don't have anything to compare it with. They also have a variety of drinks and desserts you can order with your banh mi. We did try the Vietnamese coffee but only thought it was alright. read more
