Got the classic Banh Mi, pretty good yet pretty expensive. For $12 the filling is a bit thin compared to the bread size. I do appreciate the bread is heated and crispy. read more

Banh Mi Zon - 1. Zon Sandwich - Vietnamese Near Me - New York, New York

They have gluten free Banh Mi!!!!! And it's delicious!!! I've lived in NYC for 8 years and been gluten free for 6. Sadly, I didn't know GF banh mi was an option until last year. I'm just over the moon to have found this place. The bread is perfectly toasted and the ingredients are so fresh. The employees are great--enthusiastic and kind. Banh Mi Zon rules. read more

We just got Banh Mi's catered from Banh Mi Zon for our weekly office lunch. Shoutout to our office manager for getting Banh Mi's for lunch. That's so gangster. I love Chris Voss's book "Never Split the Difference," which details how to negotiate well and get what you want in life. I negotiated my way to half a beef sandwich and half a Zon sandwich (house special), as I wanted to try both. Would I have been able to do this without using tactically empathy that Chris Voss preaches? I guess we'll never know... The beef was decent, but nothing to write home about. The Zon on the other hand, was the one. It was made up of pate, Vietnamese ham & salami, and shredded pork jerky wrapped in a crispy baguette. 8.5/10 for me. We were all seated around the rectangular table discussing life, liberty, and quotas over our Banh Mi's. A beautiful sight really. I must note that many other reviews say they charge different prices than their menu states, and that's just a great way to piss off the consumer. Just change the menu prices... I didn't experience this first hand though, so it's not affecting my rating. My favorite Banh Mi in the city still comes from Saigon Vietnamese Sandwich Deli in the Lower East side. $10 for a BOMB Banh Mi that was better than any Banh Mi I had in my time in Vietnam... Oh you haven't been to Vietnam!?!?!? Couldn't be me... IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov_reviews read more

My friend loves banh mi, so I did a lil research and came upon this place. I'm definitely not a huge banh mi connoisseur or anything, but I love a good sandwich. It's a small place, definitely a buy and take out to go type of deal. I ended up on the coconut curry beef sandwich which is different from banh mis I've had in the past. I'd say you could tell that it wasn't classic. It didn't taste like a banh mi with banh mi flavors; to me it was just a good sandwich. My favorite part was for sure the bread which was soft and not pointy even though it was toasted. I think I commented on that bread at least two times to my friend because it was just... really nice to eat? Does this make sense. I think this is a place you shoudl go if you want to try something a little different. And for good sandwich bread. read more

Banh Mi Zon - Zon Sandwich - Vietnamese Near Me - New York, New York

On a random Saturday, I was craving banh mi. I looked for store in my area and saw that this place had higher ratings - I ordered a vegetarian sandwich with a side order of eggs. I ordered a side of papaya salad with shrimp. I ordered my delivery through doordash. Wow is all I can say :) The sandwich was still warm and freshly made when I received it. The mushroom substitute for meat was extremely delicious. The bread had the right amount of crunch. Papaya salad was refreshing and not overwhelmingly sweet. Would order again! read more

Since my first visit, I've been back at least 5-10 times and I felt the need to update my prior review to a 5 for always providing such delicious food! I think the grilled chicken may be my favorite but the grilled catfish and the sausage ones also came very close! The curry beef was also fantastic. This is definitely a great Banh mi stop in the East Village! They also do a fantastic jobs with big delivery orders as we've ordered from here for lunch at work for 10-15 people! read more

Banh Mi Zon - Vietnamese Near Me - New York, New York

The banh mi here are so good! The crispiness of the bread's outside and the softness inside are just perfect. I ordered the Banh Mi Zon and the curry chicken and they tasted so good and they went so well with their Vietnamese coffee. I found out that their coffee beans that they used came from Vietnam and were roasted there. Try their Vietnamese hot or cold coffee and you will be hooked. Better than a cup of cappuccino or cafe latte. read more

Nice friendly service and tasty food. I order there regularly. My favorite is the coconut curry beef and they have a nice salad, too.

I still dream of the gluten free Bahn Mi Zon delivered fresh to my office (through DoorDash). The bread was perfectly crispy and the right texture, the combination of the meats was sublime. I loved the crunch of the cucumber and flavor of the sauces and toppings. The service was great, since they catered to my preferences. Have never been inside so can't comment on ambiance, but next time I'm in NYC. This is for sure my next stop. read more

I ordered the vegan with gluten free bread, and I think that was my mistake the bread. The sandwich was mediocre and I was happy that they had gluten free but it wasn't the right bread unfortunately. It's a fast casual takeout place without any seating on the strip of East Village that is quite trendy. read more

Great easy takeout spot for delicious banh mi. Good flavor, crispy bread. It's in my lunch rotation now.

Honestly, this place was ok, considering I haven't found any decent Vietnamese food in nyc yet. Their coffee was authentic enough, but at least they have a lot of things I grew up eating. read more

I'm obsessed with the coconut curry beef banh mi. The bread is always crispy perfection (not the scrape top of mouth kind); and the coconut curry is very well-balanced, not spicy at all for those who avoid if fearing that it might be spicy- which leaves room in the flavor profile to add sriracha for those who want a kick. I live that the daikon isn't julienned like other banh mi places, but thicker strips- the warm tartness of the daikon cuts the fat of the coconut curry really well. Also really like the lychee green tea- very refreshing. read more

Perfect place to stop in for lunch on-the-go while hopping around the East Village. IMO, a little steep for a banh mi ($12) for takeout, but it's a mighty tasty sandwich. Takes a few minutes to get the sandwich ready, but well worth the wait. read more

Absolutely the best banh mi sandwich I've had in ages. The bread us crispy on the outside and does NOT cut up your palate. Chewy on the inside an just perfect in every way. Summer rolls are legendary. I can't wait to come back to this place. read more

My favorite banh mi is here! I get their catfish sandwich, which is full of flavor and pretty hefty. The ratio of bread to filling is great. I can usually make 2 meals out of it. They also have a very refreshing limeade. It's right next to Tompkins Square Park, so you can have a nice meal outside. read more

The reviews looked good, I love banh mi, and it was a couple of blocks from where I was. I took the friend I was talking with and we walked over, a cute, clean, very small pick up place... We got the vegan, fantastic, and the sardine, unusual and yum! The bread had perfect warm and crunch, and I will definitely return! read more

The shrimp summer rolls are absolutely delicious! I'll be back to try the papaya salad & iced coffee! read more

Really tasty coconut beef curry sandwich with fresh crunchy vegetables and perfectly toasted bread. When you walk into this small establishment you spell the delicious smells of authentic Vietnamese food. Yum is all I have to say! Will definitely come back and get this sandwich again. Btw I ordered double meat in my sandwich and it was the perfect ratio of meat to veggies and bread so keep this in mind when you see the picture I posted. Great job guys! This Banh was delicious!!! read more

I found my favorite banh mi spot. 1) The service was great. We weren't sure which sandwich to order so they let us taste some of the meats. Although they were about to close, they were still welcoming and friendly. 2) We went with Zon Sandwich which was delicious. Slight crunch on the bread and just the right ratio of bread to ingredients. I need to go back soon. read more

Banh Mi Zon - Original Banh mi - Vietnamese Near Me - New York, New York

This is yet another stall that does Banh Mi sandwiches. When I entered, I saw an employer enjoying a meal. Shortly after ordering my Banh Mi, another party of two entered. I waited outside as the inside is small. The place was run by a Hispanic and an Asian person. Compared to Xe May Sandwich Shop, the pickled carrots and daikon was savory. The Banh Mi Zon was spicy but was mild enough for me to handle. read more

Stopped by for lunch a few weeks back and was surprised to find this hidden gem in East Village. It's a tight space with limited seating. There are two tables that seat roughly 3 people and a small counter space seating. They have a simple menu with a variety of appetizers, sandwiches, salads, and drinks. I got the Zon sandwich ($10.50) and was happy with what I chose. The bread was perfectly toasted and the perfect amount of pate, pickled carrots, and meat. I do however feel like the price point is a bit high though for the portion size. read more

Read the raves about the place and craving Banh mi all week so had to come here and try it. A little disappointed, I've gotta day. The classic pork Banh mi was really bland and dry, and hardly packed with any cilantro - the star player of a great Banh mi. The summer rolls were fresh and crunchy with shrimp, but nothing too exciting that I'd want to order them again. The best dish? The beef curry Banh mi! Totally shocked me. So flavorful and creamy and delicious on the crunchy bread. I'm not even a big fan of curry and this completely won me over. Would give this five stars. But I probably won't be coming back here - too many better Banh mi places in the city - but if you're thinking of stopping here for a bite, get the beef curry! read more

The service was really great. The food was amazing. This is a takeout place with no seating, so please be aware of that. We ordered the Banh mi sandwiches. The vegan was full of flavor, and the catfish was perfectly marinated and cooked. We added a fried egg which was the right move. The shrimp summer rolls were very filling and the shrimp tasted fresh. Overall, it was a great experience and I would suggest a visit if you're in the neighborhood! read more

This place is a legit Viet place!! I love their papaya salad (they don't skimp on the shrimp!) and bahn mi sandwiches! This place has always been a hit for me! I think a couple (man and a woman) runs it and they are super cute. Very careful about COVID - they'll alcohol rub your credit card before handing it back. If getting takeout, they'll ask you to wait outside and they'll bring you your food when it's ready read more

Been here before and had the catfish bahn mi which brought me back, but the Vegan Bahn Mi just now blew my mind. Honestly, all ingredients in perfect ratio; great bread and the perfect marriage of tofu and mushroom on the sandwich. The lychee smoothie was pretty unique, too. Service was fast and it all hit the spot. read more

Had the bahn mi zon Sandwich and it had really great crunchy baguette. There is no seating, but service was quick.

A good Bahn mi sandwich should have a great baguette and fresh veggies and meat with a good sauce that goes in everything . This pretty much had none of those . First off I'd say I would never have ordered from here had I seen they had a B grade ! Their grade wasn't posted which is usually a shady sign to begin with . But let's get back to the sandwich . The bread was pretty much on the stale side . I eat a lot of bahn mis and this bread was the worst of any Vietnamese restaurant I've been to . I have been able to eat left over Bahn Mis days after purchasing and it was still fresh so this bread must have been super old . The veggies themselves didn't seem quite fresh and had too much of whatever sauce they added onto it which made them soggy and eliminated all textures except the sog. The meat (beef) was plentiful which was good but it too was drenched in that off putting sauce . The quality of the beef along with the cut left more to be be desired . It was simply a pretty subpar meal which found its way at the bottom of the bin pretty quickly. I'd never return as this place disappointed on multiple levels . Thank God Xe May is only afew blocks over and I was able to getter proper Bahnmi fix I needed . read more

A good banh mi is perfection in sandwich form. While colonization is a horrible thing, it has produced some amazing fusion food. In this case it was the French colonization of Vietnam that resulted in savory Viet food placed in a baguette. I turn to Banh Mi Zon for my fix because they have the rare seafood option-- the catfish sandwich. The fish is marinated in spices, rendering it tender and flavorful throughout. It complements the pickled carrots and cilantro so well and the bread is always fresh. Any day that I have a catfish banh mi from here is a solid day. When I'm not in a sandwich mood (v. rare) I will gladly order this flavorful catfish over rice, which is a most satisfying carb to pair with this protein. For meat eaters, the grilled chopped chicken sandwich and Coconut curry beef sandwich sound pretty solid and are popular orders, which I gathered just from sitting in the little shop for a few minutes last month to eat my sandwich. They churn out sandwiches for takeout like nobody's business. read more

Hole in the wall but totally worth a stop. Stopped to get some easy food for the plane ride. Turned out to be amazing food.

this place is awesome no seating but delicious kinda expensive but delicious kinda small banh mis but delicious i rather have a small Good banh mi than a big tasteless dry one this place is worth the try!!!!! read more

The banh mi craving hit me one night after having some drinks nearby. Banh Mi Zon happened to be on my bookmarks list and was still open. It was a little out of the way but we decided to make our way there anyway. I ordered the Zon Sandwich (Pate, Vietnamese Ham, Vietnamese Salami, Shredded Pork Jerky) which is pretty much the classic Viet sammie. It's definitely not the best banh mi I've ever had and more expensive than I would generally care to pay for one of these, but it did the trick. The bread was perfectly toasty, which to me is one of the most, if not THE most important part of a banh mi. Plus, even though they were almost closing, the ingredients were not compromised. They didn't skimp on anything, and nothing tasted like it was sitting out all day. I definitely wouldn't come out of my way to come here again but I am grateful that Banh Mi Zon was able to satisfy that craving. read more
