want a calming mind with a full stomach AND some delicious Vietnamese food? Come to banh mi spot, the most yummy food ever and if you want to feel welcomed this place is the way to go. Their pho was the best, ready and hot for you just to eat. Their crew is so friendly and 10/10 I would recommend!!! THIS IS THE WAY TO GO read more

I really wanna support local businesses much this was super mid. First off, parking on the boulevard is nearly impossible. We wanted to grab a quick bite after WonderPlay in Avondale. It was quite difficult to find a parking spot. Grilled Beef Banh Mi - very different take then I'm used to being Vietnamese. Their beef was actually shredded and unfortunately on the drier side Chicken + Rice Noodle $6 - quite a steal for the portion for my toddler. On the blander side which is my child's preference. However for a Vietnamese pho this was not a hit for me Wasn't my preferred spot to try but at least I can say I've tried it. read more

Banh Mi Spot - Vietnamese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

We stopped by after navigating the unfortunate construction out front. I feel bad for their business because this has got to be hurting them. Staff was so nice and friendly and I was honestly shocked there was no place to tip when I tapped to pay. You do order at the counter and they bring it to you or call your number. We had a few $ in cash so added those to the tip jar. Food came out fast, but my first bite was a pretty big disappointment. The bread was warmed, but soft and kind of mushy chewy - like a hoagie. Typical banh mi has a nice light and very crispy bread. The meat flavors were fine, but the pate was somewhat bland and an important missing flavor profile. The jalapeño was nice and spicy. I might try the pho on another visit, but the sandwich won't get another try. The interior was clean and bright, but not a place where eating in or out makes a big difference. read more

Banh Mi Spot - Saigon Classic Special - Vietnamese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This place is such great value for banh mi and viet iced coffee. Got the grilled beef and classic. The beef is sweet. The classic was loaded and we both preferred the classic more. It is a little barebones but I like their food. The workers are nice and their service terminal doesn't beg for tips. It's right outside Logan Square Station. read more

Hidden in Logan Square, this place feels just like Vietnam -- from the lightning-fast service to the bustling vibe. The chefs are Vietnamese, and you can taste it in every bite. The bánh mì? Legit. The pho? On point. You barely sit down before the food hits your table, which honestly made me nostalgic for the streets of Hanoi. Now, fair warning: it's not the cleanest or most organized place, but maybe that's part of the charm. If it were spotless and minimal, it wouldn't feel nearly as real. Sometimes authenticity comes with a little chaos -- and I'm here for it. read more

This is a little gem just outside the alley of my apartment complex. I have only gotten to go orders so far but everything is always delicious. My go to order are the shrimp spring rolls and beef pho. The pho is very delicious and as always piping hot! The jalapeños in it are quite spicy so take that into consideration if you don't like it too spicy. In any case you can always take them out. I love how everything is so neatly packaged. The pho is large enough to share. My boyfriend gets the itis after eating it. The real star of the show for me is the Vietnamese Iced Coffee. It is oh so good. It tastes like a dark roast and it is perfectly blended with condensed milk. This is my fifth time getting it. My son also loves the passion fruit cooler.If you are in the Logan Square area try this place out. You won't regret it! read more

I really enjoyed my first meal here and very much expect to be back! Tons of great options on the menu but I went with the pork noodle salad to start. I had a Vietnamese coffee too which was a perfect pick me up. The staff are lovely, really really friendly and helpful. It was great chatting with them! The vibe here is pretty casual with kind of a strange layout of two little dining areas, but they said they can accommodate groups with a heads up. The food was FRESH. Especially with Vietnamese food this makes such a big difference with the herbs, sprouts, etc. I was pleasantly surprised!! In the future I hope their menu gets bolder with more unique proteins and strong flavor options. Right now it's very very solid and I'd love to see more. Can't wait to return! read more

Small cute spot across from the Logan square blue line station. It's easy to miss because of the construction right in front of the restaurant, however it's definitely worth going. It was post thanksgiving and I was sick of turkey and sides so opted for a Saigon special and dumpling soup. The dumplings were homemade..it literally melted in your mouth. The Banh Mí was sooo good! The spot is small but the service was great and food was awesome! read more

Banh Mi spot is a great spot for banh mi and pho--both are super flavorful and comforting. Brought me back to home country The ambience is really nice and makes you want to stay awhile. Service is spectacular: friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Definitely worth checking out! read more

Located pretty conveniently in Logan square but finding parking around here is a nightmare on busy days. Place is really small, has just 7 tables, so we had to wait to sit. They don't really have servers per se, all the utensils are self serve. Foods pretty good, pho beef was very tender and soup flavor was good. The basil didn't look too fresh but bean sprout was good. Shrimp spring roll has a tiny bit mint in it but no basil. Shrimp is not halved and the black thread in the back is still there sadly. Peanut sauce is pretty liquid and mild in flavor, it's entirely savory and no hint of sweet (which is different than a lot of other places). The banh mi was good, baguette was really good, fluffy soft and crunchy. The tofu was not bad but too mild in flavor since the lemongrass seem to be a seasoning rather than infused flavor. Cucumber is not pickled, but the carrot is, but pickled flavor is so mild, could do a more stronger flavor, also no daikon. Texture of banh mi is good but flavor I think could pop more. Bathroom has paper for drying hand which is a plus for me, can also use to open the door handle. Utensils are really cheap and some of the thin plastic soup spoons are pretty dirty so had to wipe clean with napkin. read more

The atmosphere is great and nice for a bite solo , or with a date. read more

Banh Mi Spot - Vietnamese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This place is such a great option for Vietnamese food in the area. The food is fresh, delicious and the prices are very reasonable for what you get. I was impressed with their vegan options as well. The service is friendly and relatively fast. The only downsides I've encountered are that when I've ordered online they don't often follow the instructions on the online ordering (for example you can request your sandwich be cut in half) but they never actually cut it. And they never label the sandwiches so if you order multiple different sandwiches you will have to unwrap them and open it up to find out which is which. Lastly when I have ordered online the food hasn't been ready when at got there no matter if I ordered it 30minutes in advance or 15. I wasn't in a rush so it wasn't a problem for me but if you're in a hurry or on a lunch break that could be an issue for you. All things aside I really enjoy this spot and will be back soon. read more

I recently visited this location and was immediately struck by the highly unprofessional and uncomfortable atmosphere. While the establishment tries to present itself as a standard eatery, the 'vibe' was incredibly off-putting and felt unsafe. During my visit, the owner/manager was present and made several highly inappropriate, perverted, and rude comments out loud. These weren't just directed at me, but were said in front of other employees and customers. It was clear he thought he was being funny, but it came across as completely classless and ignorant. The staff seemed visibly uncomfortable, and the overall energy in the building was tense and aggressive. Beyond the comments, the ambience is very unsettling. It doesn't feel like a welcoming neighborhood spot; it has a very 'shady' feel to it that made me want to leave as quickly as possible. I would definitely recommend skipping this place if you value a respectful environment and a safe, professional dining experience. There are much better, more professional spots in the area." read more

Went in to get a vegetarian banh mi, and the person who served me was very nice. The sandwich itself was pretty mediocre, unfortunately.

Love their bahn mi -- have had the beef, chicken, and tofu, and enjoyed all of them! The bread is incredible. They also have a passionfruit drink that is really yummy. It's a cute spot and the service is always quick, friendly, & kind. Happy to have a good bahn mi spot in the neighborhood! read more

Ordered take out and was very pleased! The lemongrass chicken bahn mi was so good, soft bread, crunchy veggies, full of flavor. The beef pho was fantastic as well, tons of toppings and a generous portion. Best of all, this place is super affordable with very quick service. read more

The food is yummy and good price! When I went I think the father and daughter were working together. The guy was super nice and went out of his way to service customers! read more

I feel like good Bahn Mi is hard to find in this city. Too many places that just aren't up to snuff. I order the grilled beef sandwich often, and it is also sooo good. Thankful to have Bahn Mi Spot nearby. read more

Oh no! It's not every day that I put out three stars for a place but everything about the food that I ordered was a hard miss. I got three lemongrass banh mi and also one bbq pork for my friends and I. Mind you, I did takeout and upon arriving to the restaurant, got to chat with the owner and the staff, all of whom were SO lovely and sweet. He stated he felt bad for having the food sit out for 30 minutes (not his fault- I blame it on Chicago rush hour traffic!) and wanted to remake all the sandwiches. I insisted it was ok, and he proceeded to offer me a free baked cookie. Fast forward and my friends and I all had a bite of our banh mi and not only was the bread soft (almost like a hoagie) but the lemongrass chicken tasted slightly off and I was caught off guard by what appeared to be a creamy dressing (??) that overwhelmed the vinegar-y pickled carrots and daikon. We all agreed the bbq pork was way better than the lemongrass chicken. Unfortunately, the free cookie was a nice gesture but was actually inedible. We all took a bite and looked at each other with disgust because it tasted musty and stale. Truly wish there were better Vietnamese food offerings in the area - most likely will not come back to this restaurant. read more

I'm not sure why I was craving pho in the heat of Chicago summer, but I have no regrets! I was met with friendly, quick service. The seating space is on the smaller side, but we were easily able to snag a spot on a Saturday. I got the beef pho. The broth was on the lighter side, but I enjoyed it. I was pleasantly surprised with the amount of beef I received, and it was very tender! I thought the price was reasonable. All around a solid experience. I would love to come again to try the banh mi. read more

Banh Mi Spot - Beef pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Great Banh Mi and soups, for reasonable prices. Nice people as well. Convenient location

We decided to take a train to Logan Park for breakfast but ended up having lunch here since it was almost noon. We ordered the beef pho and banh mi. The pho was so delicious, comparable to the pho we had in Saigon last May. Better than any pho we had in the US. The banh mi was just regular tasting. But overall it was a delightful lunch. My husband met the owner and praised his pho, he said he gets all his ingredients from Vietnam. Highly recommend their pho dishes. read more

Food was alright, we stopped by for a quick banh mi with no wait on a Saturday afternoon. Couple of things that were off about our visit but staff was friendly and efficient. Lemongrass chicken banh mi - found a small hair in the sandwich but had already eaten most of it at that point, so I wasn't about to make a scene. Good flavor on the chicken and veggies were fresh. Bun is very very lightly toasted but comes pleasantly warm. Veggies are also pickled well, which I do prefer. Solid sandwich even though I remember a time when banh mis used to be $4. AI generated art on the walls was freaky. I liked the way my banh mi looked when it came and that would've been a great picture tbh. All the art flashed near the menu and hung up was flawed AI generated art that didn't feel great. I never thought I'd be commenting on this but it made the experience weirder (in the bad way). I really love Vietnamese food and I want to support a local asian business. I grew up going to Viet restaurants where half the volume level is the staff yelling and at least one or two tables are taken up by children in a family-owned establishment; looking to be constructive in feedback here. Definitely room for improvement. Hoping to see them make some changes for the better in the future. read more

Banh Mi Spot - Traditional Vietnamese Pho and Vietnamese Lychee Lemonade - Vietnamese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Perfect lunch date with your self spot! got the lychee lemonade (already considering going back and getting another) and tofu banh mi (I think tofu ones taste better than meat, not even vegetarian). The service was very good! Will be going back read more

The service was friendly and fast, the atmosphere was nice, although my banh mi was only ok. The flavor of the banh mi was very good--the heat of the jalapeños and the cooling cucumbers, the pickled daikon and carrots, and the floral cilantro were all on point. That said, the baguette did not have the typical crusty texture-- it was super soft, almost like a hot dog bun. Also, worth noting that fish sauce shouldn't be included in vegetarian sandwiches. That said, Logan square was previously a Vietnamese food desert, so this is still a really welcome addition to the neighborhood! read more

The Vietnamese coffee is amazing! I went back for seconds the next day. The food is good too but the biggest highlight is the delightful people who work there. I think I talked to both the owner and the manager and both clearly really enjoy sharing their food with people. Highly recommend! read more
