Very helpful and friendly staff! This little fast food asian fusion spot opened up in the energy corridor near Seiwa. Ordered the Big Boss Lady Chicken Box and it came with a huge deep fried chicken cutlet, rice, eggroll, veggies and soup. The chicken was juicy, but the skin didn't really stay on. So, kinda had to make shift it to eat the crunch and actual chicken in one bite. Overall, it was juicy and seasoned okay. They also serve banh mi's and vermicelli bowls as well. Parking - Within the plaza
Big Boss Banh Mi is a small, fast restaurant tucked next to Seiwa supermarket. The service is typical of any boba + small snacks joint and there is plenty of parking. There are a few high top tables and a bench area with small tables as well. We tried the Mad Box, which is a huge Taiwanese style fried chicken cutlet and fries served with a side of pickled onions, wasabi mayo, and ketchup. The chicken cutlet was very juicy and nicely flavored. I assume that the chicken itself is brined and fried to order since the meat was seasoned throughout and came out very hot. The only hiccup we encountered during our visit was that a good amount of the breading fell off of the chicken. The pickled onions and wasabi mayo compliment the dish well. I've found my new cheat meal close to the office! I also look forward to trying the other items, namely the banh mi and drinks (vietnamese coffee, etc).
Came in for a random weekday lunch because we heard about their big fried chicken platter. The storefront is a small little shop with some 1-2 tops. You order and pick up food at the counter. We got the fried chicken plate combo that came with fries and pickled veggies. Overall, a pretty solid meal. Around $11 for everything, which is decent for the portion size. The chicken filet was battered in light crispy batter and paired well with the accompanying green sauce. It's nothing you can't get in houston chinatown, but definitely a nice lunch option if you are in the memorial/ energy corridor area. Would want to come back next time to try the bahn mis!
Ordered the Boss Lady Fried Chicken(cutlet only) $9.99 and the Rice Box w/Boss lady fried chkn $12.99 Cutlets are huge, big bang for your buck. I've always passed this place up and now will be consistently dropping by. Their shop is petite but their food is loudly good with swift service. 4/19/25
This passion fruit smoothie is delightful and I can't wait to get home and enjoy the rice box (grilled pork) which includes chicken pho or rainbow chips & Vietamese egg roll
Recognizing a Taiwanese owned business today ! BBB (Big Boss Banh Mi) is insipiring from Vietnamese famous sandwiches and serving in the West side of Houston! They are located in the same plaza as the Japanese grocery store, Seiwa. It's nestled on a smaller unit but good enough for what it's serving. Parking is definitely wide, without struggle. Location wise, it's also less than 10min away from the WoW plaza with all the Asian stores. Inside, you'll find a few high tables with high chairs on the right side, a unique way for single customers on the left side. This is not for groups,, who will need to take out if wishing to enjoy the menu together. Order at the counter, menu set on the right wall. It's as expected: banh mi and rice box. Each served with a side of pho soup or chips. The novelty in this store is in its touch of Taiwanese honor: the bigger-than-your-face chicken fried steak!! This chicken fried steak is juicy, good amount of spice and can be ordered as a solo item or part of a rice box. Which is what I've gotten: comes with rice, some crispy onion, some lettuce leaf, some shredded carrot, one egg roll, a bit of fish sauce. If you've been to Taiwan, this is great throwback. $12.99 Also, added a chicken banh mi. Great portion of protein, not too buttery and the bread isn't the crunchy kill between your teeth type. As drinks, tried their house lemonade, and milk tea. Both are great choice and probably enjoying the milk tea slightly more... Because it's the full combo with the chicken fried steak you'd get traditionally at a night market in Taiwan ! On their menu, there are also kids menus, smoothies and sides (dumplings or fries anyone). I think it's quite comprehensive and should fit most cravings ! Overall, owner was patient. Service was prompt enough (I mean they gotta fry that huge piece of chicken). Last detail to mention, if you wanna go for a quick look around the store, find the bread loaf item. That's where the napkins are at. Lol, nowhere else. I'm 100% planning on going back. Enjoy!
Good quick grab and go spot for Vietnamese staple foods. The fried egg banh mi had two perfectly cooked fried eggs with runny yolks. The place is clean and cute and one can sit and eat there.
You'd think the star menu item of this place would be banh mi as it's in the shop's name, but that's wrong. The other items are good, but the 5 stars are all for the chicken cutlet. It's a Taiwanese style cutlet in every single possible way. The size (bigger than your face...literally), the breading, spice options (spicy is truly spicy by the way), the juiciness of the chicken, the packaging...this is as close as you can get besides physically being in Taiwan. Honestly, I thought this was even better than some that I've had in Taiwan because of the higher quality chicken. Wish they would open a location closer to the 610 loop!
One of the better banh mi places in the area. I enjoyed their combination sandwich and the bread doesn't cut your mouth up like some other places. Also tried their giant Taiwanese chicken cutlets which tasty and crunchy. Overall, a great little lunch spot.
Great Vietnamese sandwich and appetizers. I liked the coffee too. The real star was the fried chicken. So good so salty with a little bit of heat. I don't know what it was but I know I want more. The place is tinny but clean. The perfect quick bite on the run. If you're looking to feed the family I would suggest getting the food Togo.
New eatery in the Seiwa shopping center. Note they are still in soft opening so not everything on the menu is available and the drink menu isn't posted yet but I asked to take a picture on the order screen. Small and clean, with bench seating and a couple of high tops. The food was def good and I'm sure will get a 5 once they're in full swing. To be fair we showed up in the middle of tornado weather, alerts going off, and lights flickering so I rounded up to a 4. Grilled pork banh mi and bbq chicken banh mi (4.5/5): Plentiful meat and veggies and very filling. Note this is chewier bread. Since we got our order to go, I stuck mine in the toaster oven for 10 min and crisped it up. Very good flavor. Boss lady fried chicken (3.5/5): This is advertised as Taiwanese style, which really drew me in. I can confirm the seasoning is reminiscent of Taiwanese chicken and the cut is nice and thick. The cook was good but I wish the breading was a bit crispier. Again, to be fair, we ran out of there so it may be better in person. Will try again for sure. Bigboss milk tea (4/5): I asked for half sweet and they accommodated but now I know to ask for 75% next time. 50% was a little too light for me but I didn't want too sweet either! Pho broth (5+/5): We tried to get the mini pho noodle soup but they don't have that yet so we settled for the broth to test it out. Hard to describe but it's very clear and has that umami flavor without being fatty. Really want this place to succeed given how close it is! Great potential - can't wait to try again once they have their full menu ready.
Reviews are generally positive. People highlight the flavorful banh mi sandwiches, large Taiwanese-style fried chicken, and friendly, quick service. The space is clean and cozy.

My friend and I came here on a Wednesday afternoon and there was nobody inside the restaurant besides us. The interior is a little narrow but there's a decent number of seating available and the Halloween decorations were so cute! We ordered from the Kiosk and got the following: Grilled Pork Banh Mi Old School Bahn Mi I love how the bahn mi's come with chicken pho soup and rainbow chips! It took around 15 minutes for the food to be ready and we took it back home to eat. I enjoyed my grilled pork banh mi! The meat was a little too salty for me but the flavor overall was decent. I enjoyed the chicken pho soup and the rainbow chips were satisfying. My friend got the old school banh mi and said it was good but nothing extraordinary. Overall, this is a good spot for some banh mi if you're in the area and want some side dishes to complete the meal. Looking forward to trying other items on the menu when I come back next time. read more

We came here for the food and did not try any of the drinks. The Banh Mi was very good - a 5/5. It came with pho soup. They ran out of rainbow chips during our visit. We also tried the Grill Pork Rice Box. It was just ok. The price was decent, but portions seemed rather small. 3/5. Since this place was famous for the Boss Lady Fried Chicken, we ordered this to go as well. The chicken is big. However, it's not as tasty as our benchmark place in Bellaire. The place is quite tiny - there's inadequate seating for any party larger than two. Also, there are no restrooms for customers. read more

Honestly thought I had to fly to Taiwan to get the giant spicy chicken cutlet. It was such a nice surprise since I came for banh mi and was able to find the hella large spicy chicken cutlet. So juicy and flavorful, fresh and I can't wait to be back already! Cozy, a little warm inside but simple and clean decoration. Customer service was great, flexible with my odd order since I needed just plain bread and they were very accommodating! Can't wait to bring some of my friends They would love this place! read more

We tried out this neighborhood banh mi spot and oh man was it delicious. We usually drive to Roost*r to get our bahn mi fix but this place will now go in the rotation too. The bread was perfect, crispy outside without being hard or scraping your gums. The filling was flavorful and moist. I also had the chicken sandwich and that thing was huge! Easily a cutlet that could have made two good sized sandwiches. Friendly service from a local family owned business. Love to see it. read more

Y'all don't play. This shit was so good, I had to leave a good review. Was craving boba and wanted to try a new spot. Their focus is definitely, primarily on food, but the drinks are surprising amazing. I hate strawberries but the strawberry smoothie was surprising not too sweet and refreshing! The big boss milk tea is just as good too, not too sweet, and I'd personally say it caters to Asian taste buds! but the star of the show is the big ass chicken cutlet. If you choose spicy, then get double the drinks cause the heat is crazy. It's juicy and moist, and is a lot for a single person. Definitely coming back! The spot is cramp but its sleek clean and nice, and the customer service was pretty good read more
DELISH! Def a hidden gem for banh mi! I ordered the BBQ chicken (added a fried egg) with a side of pho broth & a Thai tea. The bbq chicken was flavorful, the egg was cooked just right, & the bread texture made the sandwich easy to eat! The pho broth was light but still had a good amount of flavor. The Thai tea was creamy with just the right amount of sweetness. The service was great & I loved the pop of yellow inside the restaurant along with the seating setup. read more

I haven't had a good Vietnamese sandwich in so long in Houston! I feel like all the original Vietnamese sandwich places fell off and they're not as good as they use to be so I had very low expectations coming in when ordering. However, to my surprise, this banh mi was bomb. It was so delicious. I asked for extra butter and pate, and it did not disappoint. I also asked if they prefer the rainbow chips or the soup and definitely get the chicken pho soup so you could dip your Vietnamese sandwich in it and it is so good. I also ordered the Fried chicken boss lady and that was massive. It was huge however it didn't come with any sauce it would be a lot better if it came with some sweet-and-sour sauce or something, but it was made fresh so that was nice. I deducted a point for not having hand soap or paper towels in the restroom. Overall, though I would be coming back to try the other Vietnamese sandwiches because it is the best we have in Houston as of right now ! read more
