Vietnamese food. Invariably more than just the quintessential pho. Probably one of the most underrated categories of ethnic dishes and all we know of is pho. The more adventurous eaters will go for the bun bo hue because there is a lot more complexity to it. And then you have the banh mi. A marriage of traditional Viet flavors mingled w/ the French flair of the baguette but with Be Banh Mi, there is an additional twist that I think is just ingenious. First off, you will fight for parking so bite the bullet and walk Second the interior. One of the most spacious, under used spaces ever to be used for a sit down/take out banh mi joint. They seat roughly 20 people while the middle section is primarily used to start a line queue. The service. It's the self-service kiosk where you order and they call you by your receipt number so there's no bussing or wait staff. Now for the for banh mi. It's not that it's anything necessarily special. It's a banh mi. Your proto-typical Vietnamese ingredients from grilled pork (what I got!!!) to BBQ pork to crispy pork belly and the works! The ingredients are one in same with any place that specializes in banh mis. What sets this place apart is that they offer the stick version of the traditional banh mi. Yes!!!! The stick version. Banh mi is traditionally served in a toasted buttered French baguette loaf that acts like a submarine sandwich open hot dog bun style then all the ingredients are shoved in the opening then wrapped up for you to open and enjoy. The stick version however is a long, thin, yet equally buttery, flaky, soft bun but it's almost a foot long and thin but they don't skimp on the flavors of the banh mi! That's what makes this place so interesting and worth visiting time and time again. Plus the price is so affordable for a banh mi. The traditional banh mi's run you at $6 per sandwich. The stick version runs you at $5. Between the two versions, you're looking at roughly a $12-$14 with tax. It's such a fantastic deal for something as filling as banh mi can be and between the two versions of banh mi, you will be satisfied! Highly recommend for a good banh mi! read more

My mother and I stumbled upon this place and were not sure what to expect as we tried other banh mi in the area and some were hit or miss. You have plenty of parking In The plaza but it can get busy due to other fun places in the area. When you walk in it is very spacious with some seating but not a lot. You can either order at the self service kiosk or through an employee. You have the option of fully customizing your sandwich which is super helpful! I ordered a glazed chicken banh mi and the wait was little to none! They give it to you wrapped up in a bag. The flavor was incredible and very delicious. So much flavor, bread wasn't burnt and the portions were great. The price was super reasonable. I left wanting another one! This is by far my new favorite banh mi spot and I'll definitely be back. read more

Do yourself a favor and come here! Craving banh mis on our way to roadtrip, my friend and I stopped by. There was no line so our order only took 10 minutes to come out after placed at their kiosk. We got their Classic stick banh mi and Bbq pork banh mi. Being a bit of a stickler for the bread. I found the stick bread to be more consistent with the banh mis I have had in the past texture wise. But taste wise, I definitely preferred the bbq pork when I am usually a classic fan through and through. Already I have been back twice and look forward to being a regular. Staff are friendly and try to accommodate to all the customization that can be selected when checking out. Place is clean but a little empty for all the space they have. Prices are cheap and sizes are generous. I highly recommend others to give them a shot! read more

One of the better Banh Mi places in Duluth! Great location close to grocery market, sweethut, teso etc. You can order ahead or on Kiosk in the store. Select the bread size, filling and toppings. The kiosk allows you to customize additional toppings or remove any toppings. Highly recommend the sugar cane juice. Its fresh and made to order in front of you. The Banh Mi tasted delicious. Pretty decent prices compared to other Banh Mi places around. Fast service. Plenty of parking. read more

Be Banh Mi - Chicken Banh Mi - Vietnamese Near Me - Duluth, Georgia

Wow I'm so happy to have discovered this Banh Mi spot . We ordered a grilled pork and they were offering a special on the Fried Pork Belly Banh mi (it was actually the last one ) and boy did we get lucky . It was not only fried to perfection but fresh tasty and perfect . The grilled pork was great also but I'd say put the fried pork on the menu permanently. The veggies (cucumbers, jalapeños , cilantro , & carrots are the freshest I've ever seen ) the bread had the perfect crust and the softest center. My only suggestion is you should definitely be consistent in cleaning the tables after everyone leaves . Or at least every 30 min do a wipe down & sweep. the trash can by the door was over flowing and the tables were covered in crumbs , napkins and receipts on the ground . But otherwise friendly staff and efficient service great prices and the Best Banh Mi I've had in a long time ... dare I say better than Lee's Bakery in Atl. read more

Outstanding banh mi. Well worth the drive, and pleasant atmosphere. The taste is the closest to original as we have found in retail eatery as yet. Service was prompt and courteous, rare to find in a restaurant these days. We have been back several times. read more

This place is certainly worth the stop as long as you don't have folks that need a clean spot. You have to kinda wipe it down as tables become available, just super sticky. Don't hold your breath on a warm welcome.. But on the plus side they do have a kiosk you can order from, but its easier sometimes to be able to speak to the cashier. The order- Only if they have the stick bread available, otherwise I skip and wait till another time. I have had the other sandwich breads and its fine.. but to me the "stick" bread is what is unique to this place, and its worth the wait to me. I usually either get #3 or #2. Sometimes both if i'm really hungry or splitting with someone. It's great for togo! read more

A great little spot for lunch, it's quick, clean, and delicious! In fact, I would go as far as to say it's probably my favorite banh mi I can get in GA. The baguette has a beautiful exterior and is airy, filled to the brim with whatever you order. The cucumbers, pickled carrots, cilantro, and jalapenos are fresh and crisp. You can tell they made their own egg mayo/butter based on the color, and it's yummy! It adds a nice savory creaminess to the sandwich, much more than regular mayo, and it makes me really happy to see it here. For which banh mi to get, I always get dac biet (classic) or thit nuong (grilled pork) in the regular size. Both of them here are so good, and I struggle to pick one, so I get both. Oops! But not really. Their other options are good too, but there's no beating the classic or grilled pork one. Stick version is nice as well, a bit like a snack or light lunch. One thing they do in particular that I haven't seen elsewhere is that in their classic banh mi, they add pork floss on top. It's nice and adds a meaty saltiness that makes sense in the classic because of all the meats in it. I am also pleased with how they spread their pate; I can see and taste it in every bite. Oh, and it's hard to compete with so many drinks places, but if you haven't had sugarcane juice or you're craving some, get some here! It's good. Actually, I don't think there's any wrong choices here! read more

Unfortunately, my first impression upon walking in was that it had a weird smell that was hard to describe, but fortunately I didn't let that deter me. This was one of the best Banh Mi I've ever had. It was packed to the brim with meat (I've genuinely never had so much meat on a Banh Mi without requesting extra) and was incredibly flavorful. The only thing I didn't love was this string of, what I can only describe as cotton candy mixed with dental floss like thing they put on the sandwich. I've never had it before and hope to not have it again, but even with that it was still amazing. It's unbelievable how much you get for $6. The bread is fresh and delicious. Bahn Mi don't get much better. The service is friendly and I had a chuckle when the guy behind the counter asked if this was my first time trying Bahn Mi (as it's probably my favorite food). Can't wait to go back. read more

Banh Mi & Nuoc Mia is good but I wish they would clean up the place a bit. It's very dirty, tables always have something on it. If you're looking for a to-go place this is more for you, which I think more ppl do anyways. read more

I've only had "Be Banh Mi" when friends go to ATL and bring it back to me. So while I was in town, I had to go. I like that restaurant is it's opened and modern. It's clean too. We stopped by in the morning before hitting the road to come back home to TN. It was like a fast food spot, service was quick and easy. I love the breadstick banhmi cause I'm not a fan of bread. Brought some back home, warmed it up in the air fryer and it was still good. read more

***FOOD: Absolutely craveable grilled pork #2 banh mi. All meats and veggies were so fresh. Was really good. Ordered the stick The BREAD was crispy and delicious. The filling was good especially the marinated pork. ***COST (OUT OF 4$) $$ very reasonable for the sandwiches $7. Good deal since they were so good and filling. Had to order 2. One for the road since it usually never names it home before eating the sandwich ***DÉCOR: industrial, bare with basic small tables and bench and a few chairs. Need a larger garbage can by the door. In the strip mall on the other end where Great Wall Sweet Hut are located. ***SERVICE: order at counter, called us to pick up sandwiches when they were finished. HIGHLY RECOMMEND - will definitely go back again and again to satisfy my banh mi craving. read more

Love their banh mi!! I decided to try this place out during out road trip, compared to other well-known, higher reviews places in the area just because I saw how delicious their bread is on the reviews!! I wasn't wrong. The baguette itself is authentic more than most place I've eaten in the US, crunchy outside and soft, airy inside, served warm - perfect. We try their Dac Biet, Thit Nuong, and Xiu Mai. The Dac Biet is classic, packed with fresh veggies. I would recommend to get more egg whipped mayo or pate to be more flavorful. Thit Nuong was the best!!! Pork is well-marinated, full with flavor. For some reason, my banh mi thit nuong comes with more mayo. Maybe that's why it's so good Xiu mai can be more flavorful. Taste great when add chinsun hot sauce or their house sauce. Ca phe sua is great. I also got the sugarcane juice but I gave it a 5/10. The staff was friendly. Quick service and clean place read more

So... this is pretty good and affordable Banh Mi. This is not by any means a fancy looking spot.. or big or lots of seating but the food is good. The price point is good. So far the drinks are good. The bread is very fresh. They will let you buy the bread too. You can get a smaller banh mi or the larger size for about 6 bucks. Smaller one is 4 something. They have a thai green milk tea which isn't matcha.. but it taste like it? taste like thai jasmine matcha its pretty good.. Defiantly will have you waking up. You can order on a kiosk or with a real person. Your choice. read more

There aren't many places that are just this classically good in the Duluth area. Banh Mis are on every single corner but this is the OG, original and amazing flavor that you expect. The restaurant itself is a new-age and contemporary place without many frills in the dining area. You have the option of ordering on a kiosk or ordering in person which is nice since this place seems to get packed rapidly in the mornings. And when I say "packed", I mean packed. You can walk in 30 seconds after opening time and be the 50th order in line, but the line moves FAST. I recommend the fried egg banh mi. It's a classic, it's perfectly overeasy and pairs beautifully with the butter and crunchy bread. I can't ignore how delicious the grilled pork is as well because it's a classic pork flavor without being demolished with lemongrass. I wasn't there long enough to try the menu, but in 4 days, I ate about 11 sandwiches in total. On my last day leaving Georgia, I timed departure with the ability to grab 4 sandwiches to go. This is delicious. It's more than delicious, it's moorish; every single bite leaves you wanting more. There aren't many restaurants where I'm planning on coming back before I've even left the table, but this is one you'll love. read more

I didn't realize this was a chain, but their sandwiches are so good! The prices I thought were very reasonable. My kids and I accidentally stumbled across this while shopping in another store. This place is at the very end of the strip mall. I like the fact that you could get "extras" on some items for free. We actually made a pitstop here in the morning on our way back home to Virginia. They opened at 9 AM on a Monday. They even package the vegetable/cold items on the side if needed. Besides the typical sub roll, they also have the long skinny version that I had only seen before in Vietnam. I didn't try it being that we wanted the larger sandwiches but definitely will try it next time. I'm back in the. There's not a lot of seating, but the interior was clean and open. The bathroom was good too. Let me just say that the coffee was incredible -I think it was the salted cream coffee-you gotta try it. Sugarcane juice is a secret addiction I have so I was very happy to see that on the menu. read more

There's a lot of banh mi places in Duluth, but this one was the closest from my house. Walking in, I noticed there weren't many tables, but since it was empty there was enough. There is a kiosk where you can order and pay, but it was out of order. Instead, someone took out order at the counter and was quick to take care of us. I ordered a number one, and it comes with a variety of meat with cilantro, mayo, pickled carrots and something else, and jalapeños. It was around $5 and as a plus it came out fast. The sandwich was so fresh and crunchy, I would definitely recommend especially if you're looking for a quick, cheap meal! read more

I ordered 4 banh Mi for take out. Two of the special and two BBQ pork. They were around $6 each which is on par with other banh mi places. When I picked them up I was surprised at how heavy they were! Wow the sandwiches were packed with meat and veggies. I don't think I've had a banh mi with this much filling before. And it tasted amazing. When asked for the veggies on the side, they filled up two bags full of the carrots, jalapeños, cilantro, etc. the special banh mi also comes with pork floss. This is a great deal and will leave you very satisfied. I will definitely be back. read more

The best banh mi spot in town!! I came across this restaurant after getting recommendations from friends, and I can confirm the banh mis here hit the spot. I came in on a Sunday afternoon (around 1:30 pm) wanting to try the KBBQ beef banh mi, but it unfortunately sold out for the day. Definitely come in earlier if you want it! I opted for the classic on regular bread, and it was amazing. The bread was toasted and the fillings were plentiful and fresh. I enjoyed the pork floss inside as well as the sauce. For about $5-6, you can get a filling meal. I definitely will come back to try other meats! Jimmy, the manager, was also super friendly and helpful. He recommended getting an ice milk coffee and even personally handcrafted it for me. So glad I found this new spot! read more

$6 a banh mi. Bought $240 worth of banh mi. And this is how much they put for radish. How is that even possible. For the money you're paying for, atleast put a good amount of veggies.

Solid grilled pork banh mis with much more food stuffed into a bigger baguette than some of the Buford Highway spots. The meat isn't dyed red and tastes a little different, but maybe that's a good thing? Highly recommended! I don't have to travel as far from the Buford area anymore for a great banh mi! Service seems pretty standard with condiments on the front counter instead of at tables. You order on a kiosk or they can also take your order at a cashier. The ambiance is a somewhat, plain/modern type of vibe. read more

I grabbed the Teriyaki Chicken sammich (no pickle, no cucumber)! The bread to ingredients ratio skewed more to the bread side. The chicken was good and was easy to break apart.

Best banh mi in town! Highly recommend the bbq pork and the classic. I take all my friends here when introducing them to Vietnamese food

Plenty of parking by the restaurant. It's in the same shopping plaza as Sweet Hut. I would recommend you order ahead so you don't have to wait as long. I didn't know so we had to wait quite a bit at the store. Area is nice and spacious, there is indoor dining available. Iced Milk Coffee: it was a bit too bitter for me, but if you wait and let the ice melt a little bit it's pretty good. Personally I feel like the ratios are a bit off. There is a lot more veggies than meat. If you look at my pictures, you would think all the Banh Mi are the same but they aren't. My order was to go. You do have the option to have your veggies on the side so you can add it when you are ready to eat. Be grilled pork: ordered two, one with jalapeño and one without. This one is my second favorite. Glazed chicken: got this one on a stick instead of the regular bread. I actually prefer it because it's easier to eat per bite. Still has a good texture. It is also a bit cheaper. Pork meatball: lacked in flavor for this one. Teriyaki chicken: was a bit too sweet for me. I personally like cilantro, but like I said the veggies were a bit overpowering the meat. Next time I will ask to have the veggies on the side. Also sad that they ran out of the sugar cane drink. read more

So delicious!! Definitely a homemade taste. Normally I don't like the cured meats in a dac biet because it tastes artificial but I loved theirs. Grilled pork was also delicious. Pro tip: get extra viet Mayo (butter) and thank me later. Price is very affordable and what I expect when buying banh mi. The portion is what I expect as well. You might want to ask them to toast yours a little longer, I had to retoast when I got home. Highly recommend! read more

Be Banh Mi is sandwiched between Choong Man Chicken and BB Myun, inside the Great Wall strip mall. It is a tiny shop offering a simple menu. For each Banh Mi, you can choose among 3 sizes: regular, stick, and challenger. The challenger size requires you to order the day before and only 1 per day. I don't know how big the challenger size is, but I'm curious why you have to go such length to get a bigger size. All sandwiches comes with egg butter, pickle, cucumber, cilantro, scallion, jalapenos, and sauce. I tried the classic and the grilled pork. The classic consists of pork sausage, jambon, cured pork, char siu, pate, and pork floss. It has all the unhealthy (but tasty) proteins you need. The grilled pork is your basic marinated grilled pork. The marinate was sweet and savory. It kinda reminded me of Korean bulgogi. The sandwiches has a lot of jalapenos in them. It makes the sandwich have a bit of kick to them. The bread tasted nice and fresh. It seemed like a nice baguette. The price is a bit more than the traditional places we're used to. You can expect to pay about $6 per sandwich. But it's not a bad sandwich. Sure, you can go to the classic Banh Mi places in Atlanta and get them for cheaper, but if you're in the area, it's not bad. For drinks, you can get some iced coffee and a sugar cane drink. They have a machine that eats up sugar canes and extracts all the sugar juices for the drink. It looked interesting. I should try it next time. read more

Stopped by for a quick lunch split the beef banh mi and the pork banh mi. It was super loaded. Like, this was a 2-hand sandwich. The sandwich was good, but it wasn't mind blowing. Honestly, I felt like it fell short of tasting authentic and it was wholly compensated by being over stuffed. There are 3 bread options: a stick, a baguette and the challenger. We both went with the baguette and the bread wasn't the best. It was rather hard inside and out. Service was quick, and they have a sugar cane press machine for fresh sugar cane which was actually pretty refreshing. I felt like the interior is very cold and minimal. Not my go-to banh mi place, but it will do in a pinch. read more

I think this place has the best Banh Mi in the area. Their off-menu items like crispy pork belly banh mi can't be found at other places. Their bread is always so fresh, and they are generous with the fillings. You can't beat the price of these sandwiches with this kind of quality! read more
