Fresh , quick, generous sizes , perfect for West Seattle folks looking for excellent Vietnamese food

Small shop in West Seattle There's no one taking order Everything is through 2 computers as you enter. Their menu is not too overwhelming. They are a busy little shop with people consistently coming and in out It takes like 10 mins to get food. Beside calling out the food order number you really don't have any communication with the employees. An introvert dream comes true. read more

Banh Mi Xo - Menu - Vietnamese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

We have been looking for a good inexpensive place to grab a bahn mi. The one we had been going to closed some years back, and when this place opened up right down the road from us we knew we had to give it a try. The menu is simple and to the point. As it should be. The bread is crunchy yet fluffy, the pickled veg and cilantro are pouring out the sides, and the protein is perfectly prepared. They recently added a fried chicken Sando option and it's now the default go to for us. If you decide to get something other than fried chicken, make sure to get a bit more paté added. It's the secret. The staff is nice, but focused on their quick order turn around, so there's no real interaction. Just order, eat, go. Easy. Or grab a Vietnamese Coffee and a Sando. No wrong answer at this place. And they're open Sundays! Hurray! read more

The Banh Mis here are flavor-packed, generously sized, and very affordable. They don't skimp on the meat or the pickled vegetables! While the pork had a few tougher pieces, the chicken Banh Mi was absolutely the standout. The ordering process is seamless via a self-service kiosk, and there are stools along the perimeter if you prefer to dine in. I visited during the dinner rush, and my food was ready in about 15 minutes. Highly recommended! read more

The banh mi is phenomenal. The rolls are amazing. They have very great food. The pho was great, but due to ridiculous rules they won't be carting this anymore. We need to do something about the city planning and allow people to have more freedom. The food is phenomenal and I've not had a better Banh Mi in this city!! Go! read more

Banh Mi Xo - Phenomenal Food! - Vietnamese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I'm pretty picky with my bahn mi amd these days I'm pretty frugal with eating out but on this day I was starving so I went for it and ordered the grilled pork Bahn mi. All I can say is it was super bomb hefty meaty portions and the marinade with the lemon grass was on point. Super badass sub sandwich. I would highly recommend. Sorry I can't post a picture I killed the thing. The idiot who posted a one star rating is a moron don't believe it. It's probably just an obese hater. Go eat at McDonalds you fat biatch lol. read more

Great bahn mi and drinks near SW Henderson and 35th. Small counter where you can place your order on a POS machine or order ahead for pickup. There is a small area with stools for seating but pretty small, so we got our sandwiches and went to the beach to eat them. My son had been here before so he ordered for us. We got the pork bahn mi. Plenty of meat on a nice soft but chewy roll. Not hard like other bahn mis in the area. Mayo and a great brown sauce that is basically liquid caramelized onion lol. Plenty of cilantro, julienne carrots and fresh jalapeño which tones down the sweet flavor of the pork. We didn't get cucumbers because my son said they make the sandwich soggy, too many seeds and makes the sandwich too thick and unmanageable. I can't speak to that. I just did what he told me to do based on his experience. It's definitely a hefty sandwich though with plenty of meat, and I couldn't finish it. Service: Can't really say too much either way, because it's really a hands off place where you place your order on the machine and just wait for your goods. For me the pork was a tad sweet and the only reason I gave 4 stars. But if I go again I will try a different meat. However, the veggies are so fresh and good, I recommend you give this place a try for sure!! read more

Had their sandwiches for the first time and enjoyed them so much that we went back 2 days later to try their vermicelli bowls. I watched as they made bowls (for someone else) piling meat into them. Perhaps our bowls were rushed, we only got a few pieces of pork and some were too fatty to eat. My fish sauce container was only one third filled (not enough). Waited about 20 minutes for the bowls after ordering in person. I'd go back for the sandwich but not the bowls. 3.5 stars. read more

Incredible sandwiches. I ordered 3 sandwiches and have been waiting 57 minutes so far and thought I'd leave a review while I wait. The staff is incredible and super apologetic, but the issue is they don't have enough kitchen equipment to keep up with demand, think ovens, prep area, etc. highly encourage the owner to give these folks more tools to work with. Love this place. read more

Most people would know that the best banh mi is found in either Little Saigon or South Seattle, but Banh Mi Xo is truly worth the drive to West Seattle for some high quality delicious banh mi! My roommate and I got the chance to try Banh Mi Xo last week, both of us ordering their special XO Deluxe Sandwich. It's a little more on the expensive side for banh mi in Seattle, but it's worth every dollar. This banh mi is HEFTY compared to others out there, each bite leaving me more and more filled. A good amount of meat and fresh vegetables all included in. The only thing I would say is that they mixed up our banh mi as my roommate ordered one with extra pate and I ordered the regular. It wasn't until after a few bites I had to say "oh man, this is delicious but this banh mi is loaded with pate". No worries though, small mistake. I also ordered their fresh lemonade, it's Vietnamese style which was super refreshing! There isn't too many places that serve Vietnamese style fresh lemonade, so I am glad they offer it. This location has limited seating and street parking only. It's very much a deli style kind of place, would recommend ordering a banh mi and eating it at any of the nearby West Seattle parks. read more

Cozy little Bahn Mi sandwich shop. Easy parking out front for order and pick up. Tree hey have self order and pay stations inside. Service was quick and with a greeting and smile and a thank you! I drive by this place every week and decided to finally stop. I ordered the grilled pork Bahn Mi and it was huge and delicious. Sooo many great fresh flavors. Lots of food and drink options on the menu. Can't wait to go back!!! I might have to get more than one sandwich!!! read more

Outstanding bahn mi sandwich here! Big and bold, with super fresh ingredients and plenty of heat from the jalapeños. Service was quick and efficient and there's inside seating available. Overall a definite 5-star lunch experience. read more

I'm back in PNW and went to my favorite Bahn Mi place. Bahn Mi Xo on 35th Ave SW is still on my top place for Bahn Mi. I actually ordered their Grilled Shrimp Salad Bowl this time and let me tell you how tasty this was. The picture says it all. The noodles were thin, not thick and not clumping together like most I've come across, the shrimps were big and not those little ones you usually see, all the vegetables were also cut bigger to which you can actually see it and taste it, the peanuts weren't all small and crushed, the flavors was just spot on! That vinegar sauce it came with was not too sweet and not too sour, just a great balance for these types of salads. Of course I did order a BBQ Pork Bahn Mi to go and as always, it's been consistent from site to flavor. I haven't had anything mediocre in this place! To wash it all down was their strawberry smoothie, although I wouldn't call it a smoothie, more of an ice strawberry drink and that was refreshing. Fast service, nice ladies and a small space for eating inside, but clean and bright. I'm telling you, a must try, you can't go wrong at this place. Til next time PNW. Respectfully. read more

We pass by this spot each time on our way to our dog sitter and always wondered how good it was. We decided to stop by for lunch and ordered one combo, one pork Banh mi, and a viet iced coffee. Even though it was lunch, our food came out in less than 10 minutes. The combo banh mi was so delicious. The bread was nice and crispy on the outside, and soft on the inside. The deli meats inside were flavorful too, and love that you can add pate to any sandwich. The viet iced coffee color was on point and it was strooong (how I like it). It could wake up someone from a coma - but still had a nice coffee, chocolately flavor. We will definitely be back for more when we are on this side of West Seattle again! read more

Cute little place across the street from the library i grew up going to every weekend (it's completely remodeled now, doesn't look the same tho lol). No tables, only counters and tall stools. Good for a fast bite or to go. Clean, lots of light. Friendly staff, *excellent* banh mi. I've had the chicken banh mi twice and the veggie tofu once. Both delicious, a slight preference for the chicken. read more

I've had banh mi from many places, but this was by far the worst experience I've ever had. I've never tried this shop before and honestly won't be coming back. The pork in my grilled pork banh mi was so burnt it looked like pieces of charcoal. I've attached a picture, no one should be served food like this. On top of that, the staff were unfriendly and didn't acknowledge me at all. No greeting, no smile, no eye contact, nothing. Just cold, dismissive service. If you care about your money, your time, or even just basic edible food, I'd seriously recommend going somewhere else. read more

My favorite banh mi place in WA... and trust me I KNOW banh mis. Get the grilled chicken sandwich, egg rolls, and/or spring rolls- you won't regret it! ALL VERY YUMMMMM Customer service is also on point! So glad they're around and doing well!! Support local, yall. read more

Everything here is so delicious, I cannot recommend this place enough! We did not have to wait too long (unlike at GION BANH MI & TEA - boo!) and my guest and I could not get enough of these sandwiches. The best Banh Mi in town, hands down!!! EDIT: (Even though it was good, my stomach got upset after eating this, so avoid this place, too). read more

First time ever trying Banh Mi and I have always wanted to give it a try. I ordered the chicken teriyaki sandwich and this was a great choice. It was so delicious and such a fresh bite. The service was quick and friendly and they had seating outside and inside. I recommend this place to anyone looking for a reasonably priced sandwich. read more

I had the bahn mi sandwich and the chicken/pork bowl. Place is a bit overpriced but the bahn mi sandwhich was quite good. The bowl was good but had a little too much vermicelli and not enough meat for the price. This restaurant is not really a place to sit down and eat as there isn't a ton of seating, but is great for grab and go. Will come back for the barn mi sandwhich read more

Not good. Average at best. Much better sandwiches can be found in West Seattle. I consider myself a traditionalist and I typically get the classic combination with pate when I order banh mi. However for my first and ONLY visit here, I decided to go for the grilled pork. The meat was tough and dry. The bread is soft, glutinous and chewy. Consider going to OH's Sandwich in Admiral. This sandwich tasted on par with half-priced, pre-made sandwiches that have been sitting out since the break of dawn at any Asian grocery store. read more

Exceptional Banh Mi sandwiches and the salad bowls are so filling and mouth watering. Everything is so fresh the service is phenomenal. They no longer pho, but I loved going there for that as well and wish they still did. Great place! I placed my order and it's always ready to pick up within 10 to 15 minutes. read more

I am so happy to have a Banh Mi within walking distance of my house! It was delicious, ordering was beyond easy, and they also have a variety of drinks to choose from including iced coffee and iced tea. Food was quick, ate outside. Love it! read more

We were sad to lose previous great businesses that have been in this location, but this new shop has really impressed my family of Westside Vietnamese food aficionados. The sandwiches are really fresh and tasty. Like extra so. And the pho is the same. And the fresh rolls. So far there has not been one item we've gotten that we thought was underwhelming. Haven't sampled the whole menu yet, but with this trajectory, it's looking like they're all winners. Just depends on your mood. And if they're open ;) We can't be happier to have this great family-run place within walking distance. read more

That crispy fried chicken banh mi sandwich is the best and huge 1 of my favorites and the price is perfect.

Superior Banh Mi with crusty fresh bread better than I've had almost anywhere around the south end and Seattle. Delicious veggies and sauce. Efficient electronic order screen lets you choose toppings to add or remove from the standard sandwiches. Price moderate and size of sandwich moderate It's small but bright and inviting with counter seats at windows & one sidewalk little table. I had the Tempura Shrimp based on reviews and loved it. But there are lots other options of typical Banh Min And last big factor for me was excellent Vietnamese Iced Coffee - I've had some mediocre ones lately elsewhere that almost tasted canned or instant. . This tasted fresh read more

To place an order, you use the tablet on the counter. You are able to specify if you want extra meat or other ingredients or to omit any ingredients i.e. jalapeños for me. They only accept credit or debit cards. It's a small place but there is an L-shaped counter seating I'm guessing maybe for 8-10 people. I ordered a grilled pork bahn mi sandwich. I was happy to see they have preprinted brown bags with what type of sandwich it is. So many places if you order multiple sandwiches, you don't know what type of meat is inside until you open all the sandwich wrappers. I thought the price of 9.25 was a little overpriced until I took the sandwich out of the wrapper. It was loaded with grilled pork! The pork covered the whole bread. It was so tasty! They were giving out free samples of their jello. I chose the pandan jello. It was tasty too. I wish the texture was a little softer though. read more

We have tried Banh Mi it feels like everywhere. West Coast, East Coast, The Islands but not Vietnam, although we hope someday. :) This new spot in West Seattle stands up to many we have had. The bread is soft in the center with a nice crunch on the outside. The pork is very tender and juicy. The veggies are very fresh and sliced perfect to create a nice crisp fresh flavor. The jalapeño was sliced thin lengthwise which was awesome. The service is very friendly and was overall great. It's a bit more expensive than the average banh mi but was filling. Enjoy! read more

They make fantastic fresh rolls. I get those for a quick grab snack on the way home. Usually readily available and so yummy

I know they're new. But with 3 people behind the counter working on orders and only 3 small orders ahead of us, I did not expect to wait 25 minutes. And then when we finally got our food, the egg rolls were cold and there weren't any jalapenos in the sandwiches. Huh. We wanted jalapenos! Flavor-wise, the food wasn't bad. My vermicelli bowl had a generous amount of pork, but the pork marinade was sweeter than I prefer. If you've ever had Chinese jerky, that's what it reminded me of. If you don't like your vermicelli too sweet, use the fish sauce sparingly because it's also very sweet. The space is pretty small, so there isn't much room to wait inside while people are dining in at the little counter row. We waited outside in the cold, where the benches were wet because they're uncovered. Overall, I thought it was ok. If I lived within walking distance, I might order 20 minutes in advance and pick up. I wouldn't recommend coming here if you're looking for something quick though. read more

Banh Mi Xo - B4. Grilled Chicken Sandwich - Vietnamese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Literally the toughest meat I've ever had in a bun. I couldn't even finish my bowl (and I am what some might consider a thicc boi). The restaurant ran out of pork egg rolls so gave me two extra veggie egg rolls and while the pork egg rolls were solid, the vegetable ones were underwhelming. As a way to hopefully redeem the experience, I ordered a Vietnamese coffee, expecting it to take a minute knowing that it is a slow and deliberate process. Nope. It came out in like a minute, meaning it was all premade. And it tasted like it. read more

Our "go to" place for Banh Mi with our favorites being the pork banh mi sandwich and tofu spring rolls. Best to order online and pick up. There are places to sit, but really not conducive to having a sit-down meal, especially if you are with two (2) or more people. read more

Ordered DoorDash -- very tasty Banh Mi for a good price! The delivery was quick with no fee as well.

5 of us at here recently for the first time and had various types of Banh Mi. We were excited by the many great reviews. They were very busy so obviously they are popular with most people. The service was great and the small eating space was warm and cozy. Sadly, none of us liked our Banh Mi mostly because of the overly sweet sauce on them, and none of us really liked the meat as much as other places we have been either. If you go here, you might want to request traditional mayonnaise instead of their sauce. Lastly, they were kind of pricey, especially considering we didn't enjoy them. read more

New Banh Mi joint in West Seattle that's only been open for two weeks and already they're off to a amazing start! Typically when I see shops like this open up there's definitely some operational kinks they have to work out. You know what? I can't tell. Ordered Milk Tea with boba and a Grilled Pork Banh Mi. Wow! Have to say, if they weren't primarily banh mi sandwiches, I think they could corner that market. Seriously. Happy Lemon in Westwood? Their franchise quality is definitely not there. Same with Sharetea. The boba here was made perfectly and the tea is not from powder. Owner said if they have time they may expand on flavors. Grilled Pork Banh Mi I've noticed from other places are sometimes dry. Banh Mi XO? Perfectly seasoned and juicy. You might be thinking, what the heo? I usually pay $5 for a banh mi. Jeez big guy, these folks needa make rent. It's a good price here versus paying $20 for a sandwich at The Birdhouse because you forgot you ordered it with avocados. I would definitely go back. They're also open next to the West Seattle Fish House so if you're hungry check that out too and give them some love. Would highly recommend! read more

*SO* thrilled to have this little gem in the neighborhood. We needed a little variety over here. It's prefect for takeout or a quick/small lunch, in (the seating is very limited). The quality and ingredients are extremely high, and the proportions (and protein) are overly generous. read more

I LOVE this place! They have the best banh mi sandwiches! They're freshly made, with tasty ingredients! They come out fast. I recommend you add a fried egg to your banh mi! It adds so much richness. I'm obsessed. I've been here 5x in the last week and their sandwiches are consistently SO delicious!!! read more
