I would honestly give this place a 3.5! This place was good, but a little more expensive than the usual vitamese restaurants I go to. We ordered the beef banh mi sandwich , it was good, but could have used a little more meat on the sandwich. The ratio of bread to meat was a little off. The fresh toppings were great. We also ordered a bowl, it was filling and good. Lots of chicken . Our favorite part was the ube cookie, so moist. We could have easily ate a half dozen of those bad boys! The boba milk tea was nice and cold. The boba itself was tasty! read more

Unfortunately I was not so impressed with my meal here. I was the only one there when I arrived, but a few other customers came through. The sandwich I got wasn't bad, I love banh mi, but it was one of the least memorable I've had. I got a pork bun as well and it was fine. the milk tea was not remarkable. which kind of describes my whole visit. read more

Banh-Tastic - Sandwiches Near Me - Visalia, California

4/5 Stars If you're looking for a spot that blends bold flavors with heartwarming comfort food, BanhTastic is a gem worth discovering! We had such a great experience here. The bao buns were fluffy, flavorful, and an instant hit with our son--he devoured them! The extra spicy pork belly with rice was absolutely delicious--tender, rich, and deeply satisfying. It had that perfect balance of heat and comfort, the kind of dish you crave on a cold day or when you just want something that hits the soul. The banh mi have come a long way since our first visit. You can tell that Bobby and his wife have been working hard to elevate the quality and consistency of their food--it really shows. The bread was crisp, the fillings were generous, and the flavors have only gotten better. We love supporting small businesses, and BanhTastic is a great example of a local spot run with love and pride. Highly recommend dropping by if you're in the area--you won't be disappointed read more

The staff was very friendly and the food was great! Sadly I didn't get the chance to take a picture since we destroyed the food

First trying their sandwich and I would have to say that it was good. The service and their recommendations were right on spot for me. The place is very clean and there is plenty of seating. Would recommend for those who want to try something different. read more

Traditional Bahn Mi: 2/5 too much breading, too little meat. Chicken pate was awful Beef pho: 3/5 Broth was flavorful, fair amount of meat, however portion was small for $16. Also wasn't served with basil. (My fave) Pork bun: 1/5 bun was stiff not fluffy.. Korean bbq filling tasted more like teriyaki flavor. Meat and bun were very dry! Service: not too friendly Overall wouldn't come back. I'll stick to Fresno Pho! read more

This was the worst Vietnamese iced coffee I've ever had. I kept taking sips to see if I was crazy or if it was truly not good. Then I threw it away half-full. I have no idea what they did wrong. My kids liked the milk tea. read more

Food was above average. Pho was mediocre. Banh mi was very good. The young man behind the counter was lazy and rude. My pregnant wife asked for a high chair and he told her you can go get it and vaguely pointed while not busy . No greeting no goodbye. Restaurant wasn't busy so no excuse.​ read more

Searching yelp I found Banh-tastic while looking for a lunch spot. Stopped in to order some banh mi and saw the bao bun tacos. Got a couple of those too. I think the chicken banh mi was more flavorful than the pork, but the pork bao buns were excellent. Service was very good. It's a small place in a nondescript strip mall, but the food is good. Also went back with kids before reviewing. Son is a pho lover and he enjoyed theirs very much. Daughter loved the bao buns. read more

Ordered on DoorDash for the first time today. Shrimp spring rolls were very fresh and delicious. Great portion for the price. Chicken Banh-Mi sandwich was the best I've had in Visalia since I moved here four years ago. Definitely recommend! read more

This place is so freakin good. Whoever gave it a bad review is being stupid. Pork sandwich and beef sandwich is top tier

I always like going to Banh-Tastic. They offer a variety of South East Asian food. Majority of the time , I order Khao Soi Noodles and Grilled Pork Banh Mi Sandwich. Today, I had Banh Cuon. This is very similar to the Chinese version of Churn Fun. For a light meal Banh Cuon is ideal and also nice for brunch. Banh Tastic has friendly service with nice atmosphere , a great place to dine at ***May is Asian Pacific Islander Heritage Month. Support Asian Owned businesses. Stop # 7 of 13.

Banh-Tastic - Pork Bahn Mi - Sandwiches Near Me - Visalia, California

As an Asian who has lived in San Jose, and down south in OC/LA area, has been to way too many Chinese town/Saigon town, and has had millions of bánh mì, This is not a true banh mi. I will say, the fillings are good, but the bread is not a baguette which would make it true to a banh mi. Vietnamese cooking is very much influenced by the French because they were colonized by France for a period of time. Wished they would have waited to open until they got their bread correct, the breading is just so thick and so chewy there's; no crunch to it, hence not a baguette, the filling is pretty good, if they can get their bread right we might have a decent place in the valley and we didn't have to drive to Fresno for bahn mi. My husband and I also agree, they need to pickle their carrot and daikon little bit longer, it did not quite pick up on the pickling flavor. The crunch from the pickling is there, the flavor isn't. I will try again in the future, hopefully with a baguette. If you're going to call your place a banh mi place, it's gotta be a banh mi place. read more

If you want a really delicious Banh mi this place is NOT it! Extremely mid! Bland pork with the grilled pork Banh mi I ordered! The options for pâté and spreads are nothing more than a filler for flavor that unfortunately still lack! Roll isn't even toasted! Zero frills and poor sandwich. I'm sure you can find better else where. If ever in Oakland stop by Pho Sho Dough in North Oakland. Makes this place look like a joke! read more

Banh-Tastic - Bland Grilled Pork Banh mi - Sandwiches Near Me - Visalia, California

Finally, a banh mi shop in Visalia! The hubby and I ordered the traditional (which is the dac biet meat combo), grilled pork, rainbow chip prawns, dragonfruit tea, and rose milk tea. The banh mi was just ok to me. Bread was not the crispy baguette but did have a soft texture, still good, but not French baguette. Was expecting the daikon and carrots to be pickled, but it tasted plain. Meat for the traditional was 1 slice each, wish it had more. Hubby was given grilled beef instead of pork, but the meat still tasted good. The rainbow prawn chips were more than enough for 2 people. Nice crunch with a hint of shrimp flavor. Drinks were amazing, sadly no toppings like boba on the menu. The dragonfruit tea had small pieces of dragonfruit on the bottom, maybe freeze dried. It had subtle flavor, light, and refreshing. Good for those who don't like their drinks sweet. The rose milk tea was amazing. Perfect amount of sweetness to creaminess and can taste the rose flavor. It looks like a family owned shop, so please come and support your small local business! I will come back and try their banh xeo (vietnamese crepes) and rice noodles in the future. Since this week was their grand opening, they might just need a few weeks to adjust to their workflow and ingredients/recipes. Come and give Banh-tastic a try! read more

I've tried this place twice and as much as I want to give it the benefit of the doubt... their Vietnamese sandwiches are not it. I haven't tried the rest of their menu so perhaps I'll give it a third try and update my review. But as of right now, it's where it stands... Both times I got a sandwich from here, the bread was cold and hard. Flavors aren't that great either. It's gonna be hard for them to top one of my favorite banh mi shops I've been going to since I was child in fresno. First time I went, the girl claimed they were out of Thai tea and next thing you know, it's being served to a customer who came after us. If you didn't want to make it, just say that. read more

Welp tried it Maybe averaged but a very clean restaurant Don't get the overpriced Pho Other food looks good but the beef Pho was disappointing. Especially since the cut up meatballs were still cold in the middle Very little meat and condiments are in the Pho, not on the side like they should be Bummer Was looking forward to a good experience. It's pretty dead in here too. I hope the do better read more

The bahn mi sandwiches are tasty, We always order the spicy basil pork with rice bowl, very tasty but i wish it was equal amount of meat and rice...it's too much rice and little bit of meat. read more

Tried this establishment for the first time today.. I was very impressed and pleased with the entire experience of dining in here. The place was very clean and in-order. The two young ladies at the counter were very friendly and polite. I asked for suggestions and recommendations in which they were very helpful with. Mind you I came in during lunch and was served quite quickly so that is a huge plus for me. We tried the Grilled Pork Banh Mi, Teriyaki Chicken Rice Bowl, order of the Chicken Spring Rolls and topped it all of with some Ube Cookies. Bahn Mi was excellent with very soft bun and flavorful grilled pork. Grilled Chicken Rice Bowl was very well served in portion and full of rich flavor. The rice had a perfect consistency as well. Spring Rolls were very fresh and tasty with the sweet chili sauce. Ube cookies were extremely tasty and soft. I honestly can't wait to eat at this establishment again. I highly recommend Banh-Tastic! read more

This is the worst the bahn mi I've had in town. They're stingy with the amount of meat in the sandwich, the sandwich had more bites of bread, and the overall bite reeked of vinegar. It had a weird taste. Places like bahn mi amour give way more bang for your buck for the price. Overall disappointed. read more

horrible. the food was kind of good itself but istg i got food poisoning. never again

Visalia was sorely in need of a Banh Mi place, so I was overjoyed to see Banh-Tastic open a storefront. I previously ordered sandwiches for pickup at the owner's home and the quality has not dropped at all. I see there are complaints in other reviews about the bread, specifically that the bread used isn't actual French baguettes. This is a small detail that I hope the owners consider improving upon. I'm looking forward to seeing this local, family-owned business continue to grow and thrive. Also, the drinks are great but please consider including boba as an option in the future :) read more

This place is good!! The service was great, the portions were super generous, and the drinks are flavorful and well balanced. I really appreciated how kind and helpful the girls at the register were so the service definitely stood out as well. I was also impressed with the amount of meat and toppings that were included in the BBQ beef banh mi. My only critique was that the bread could have been a bit more crunchy but was still tasty. I'm excited to come again and try some of the other things on the menu like their banh ceo crepes! read more

My family and enjoyed the food here. We tried their taro, Thai tea and coconut with boba and it was delicious. We also tried the Khao Soi Noodles, the Banh Xeo and the Beef Teriyaki and it we enjoyed it! We love the ube cookie too. I'll be back the next time I'm in town. Thank you all for tasty food. read more

Great food ! Got the teriyaki chicken and beef bowls both were bomb thank you B.T.! Will be back for more

A hidden gem in Visalia that is certainly elevating the class of the local food scene! The sandwich was flavorful but could have used fewer fatty pork pieces and a little less mayo for my taste. The veggies are excellent and they have pâté and mayo option so I'll definitely go back and make a few requests to see how things taste again soon. Looking forward to trying out their whole menu! read more
