Solid spot for a meal! Theres onsite parking available. Lot is small but we found a spot. Service was very friendly. Nice family owned restaurant. I got the chicken pho which was very tasty! My mom had the beef pho and she said it was just ok. We shared an appetizer platter. Their spring rolls are huge and very delicious! Overall, really enjoyed our meal here!
Best veggie pho in the area!! Not sure how they achieve such a richly flavored broth with just vegetables, but it's to die for! The carrots are also cooked perfectly - soft all the way through but with a pleasant crunch at first bite. In addition, their banh mi are large, chock full of marinated meat and veggies, and quite tasty. We were pleased to find that it wasn't overly sauced either. Service was kind and friendly without being overbearing, and our food came out quickly after ordering despite them apologizing for the wait. Bonus is that they offer 10% off if you pay cash. Definitely will return for the excellent food and service!
I don't have anything bad to say about this business they are the most courteous servers and owners I've ever met. The young girl there presumably the daughter said goodbye to me and thank you at least seven times during my visit. Today I ordered my go-to Vietnamese dish which is pad Thai beef and it did not disappoint. They give you about 20 to 24 oz per serving and it's more than enough for two people and there's no way I could finish all of that in one sitting. And I usually get it to go after I visit the evergreen tree massage place next door. Not to mention the Vietnamese coffee is a fantastic alternative to the usual iced coffees offered by traditional coffee stands. There's a spice in there I'm guessing it's either clover coriander but it tastes awfully good and mixes well if you have to add extra milk. I have yet to try the Vietnamese sandwiches but I am not ready for the daikon radishes and cucumbers yet I have to train into them as I am traditionally a meat loving guy. They look delicious though and my next choice will be the roast duck which comes with a side of Curry rice, jasmine rice or beef soup. On this visit they were out of the beef soup and since I came 35 minutes before closing they were loading up supplies from the front. Next time I told them. Bahn town has a steady, loyal following and they are ever increasing every day in business which is good for them because I love supporting the mom and pop places. At the risk of being verbose which I am prone to do I'm going to stop right there and say yes recommend this excellent international restaurant in the North end. You can even get your oil changed while you wait because there is a jiffy lube right across the parking lot
Such a great Pho spot, with awesome service. The Pho was delicious and flavorful, we're looking forward to going back.
I know this is the right place when I hear the remix of old Asian country pop songs from 70s-80s were playing in the restaurant. Let alone the friendly Vietnamese-speaking owners/staffs. So I go for large pho with all cuts of beef without hesitation. It was amazing. To be honest, I have had pho in Vietnam, China and here, none of them fails me. Their quality and flavor are much more stable and consistent than my mental health and future. All the beef cuts are perfectly cooked, even the tendon, they are usually my least favorite----overcooked ones are slimy, undercooked ones chewy, but the tendon here are perfect to my liking, I topped a piece of pricked jalapeño with it, yum! It's a simple yet hearty meal, I finish all the pho and wish I could finish the broth too. Will definitely come back for more pho!
Food 10/10 Service 10/10 Ambiance 7/10 I would say this pho is not pure authentic Vietnamese and is slightly westernized. Maybe even a bit Asian fusion. So if you are looking for purely authentic pho, then maybe this place is not for you. But if u r just looking for tasty food, this is definitely good. Food is Amazing. Ingredients tasted super fresh and yummy. -Quail Poppers were so amazing. It's a quail egg wrapped in chicken meat and then deep fried to perfection. The sauce was also to die for! A nice sweet chili sauce. -Spring Rolls (are actually salad rolls) had nice fresh ingredients - Curry lemongrass chicken is perfectly grilled and seasoned. A beautiful lemongrass chicken with a mild curry and sweet honey taste to it. It came with some fresh vegetables and egg rolls. Their egg rolls weren't anything special. They just tasted like your typical frozen egg rolls you can buy at a grocery store. But everything else was def unique and tasted amazing! -Roasted Duck is very juicy and was very mildly seasoned with what I think is salt as the duck flavour was very prominent and delicious. Only complaint is that there is ALOT of bones and you do feel like u gotta work for ur meat but it is 100% worth it!! (And bones are common in Asian cuisine) The curry fired rice tasted like they infused homemade or fresh garlic powder and it is also super yummy. -OxTail Pho. The Oxtail is suppperrr tender and cooked to perfection. Very yummy broth. However I am unsure whether the broth is authentic as it tastes slightly different from the broth I have had at authentic places. But it was still extremely yummy. -Bubble Tea was very good. Tasted like they used Coconut Milk. I normally don't like coconut milk too much but it actually complimented the drink very nicely! So I would 100% recommend the bubble tea to. Service was 10/10. We were greeted by this super cute and friendly young asian woman who was constantly checking on us to make sure the food was okay and even gave us TONS of water. We never had to ask for her to refill or check on anything because she was already just on top of it and was super sweet. She even told us to let her know if we wanted more ice for our drinks or milk. She was just absolutely adorable and kind! Ambiance 7/10 The furniture and the environment in general seemed a bit outdated but it was clean and that's what matters!! It was also a fairly small place with only maybe 5 tables. But no complaints as we were seated and looked after right away. Overall I highly recommend this place as I do think of it as a bit of a hidden gem as their food was so amazing! (However I wish they included more vegetables with each dish)
OK, update.. 6 months later. I was in a hurry, and near this place, that I tried 6 months ago, and had a difficult time with. Came in tonight, very nice young woman greeted and seated me. Funny, but I ordered the same Lemongrass chicken curry dish, I had 6 months ago. The woman said it was spicy. I then asked for 4/5 stars, spicy! Food came quickly. Food had good flavor, all was just fine, but it literally was milk-toast.. not ANY spice at all! When she asked me how everything was, I was careful to say the food was delicious, but disappointing on the zero spice. She seemed surprised. Anyway, I think their Bahn Mi Sammies look really good, but I can't recommend them for curry.
They're finally open for dining! Clean and kind service. Ingredients were fresh and visually appealing and in general just solid Vietnamese in the area. Parking lot is hit or miss, super tiny and not easy street parking in the area. We're lucky to have a lot of excellent Vietnamese in the area and this place is right up there.
I've come here for years due to convenience factor when I'm in the mood for some noodles or a banh mi. It's not my favorite banh mi or pho but I enjoy it well enough. I got a tofu vermicelli bowl the other day, which was mostly fine. But the cucumbers in the salad were horrible. Tasted like bleach, I don't know what was up with those veggies but they left a terrible taste in my mouth. It was weird. I've never eaten inside but the employees have always been friendly enough when I pick up.
Ordered a few banh mis and oxtail pho to-go. waited around 20 min (visit the fruit store across the street to kill time). We got the tofu, grilled pork, and 5-spice chicken banh mis, which were all quite sizable. I enjoyed the grilled pork, and my sister enjoyed the 5-spice chicken, although I wasn't a big fan of the latter. The bread was great and the sandwich itself was sizable. However, my biggest gripe was the radish/carrots were not very pickled. I love the pickled flavor to add contrast and crunch, but it just wasn't there. As for the oxtail pho, it tasted just like bone broth soup. I was looking forward to some pho flavors while I gnawed on the bones, but was met with none. If I'm back, will likely get the grilled pork banh mi, but skip on the other items.

They have a really big menu, and ordering online is very convenient since you can easily remove/add ingredients. I ordered the 5-Spice Chicken Banh Mi (Gà Nướng) and was surprised by how little spice it had. Even the chili oil on the side lacked heat. For something called "5-Spice," I expected a lot more flavor and spice. Parking is easy, though getting in and out can be a little tricky because it's on a busy intersection. Overall, my experience was just okay. read more

The rice has a deliciously unique taste to it. Dont really know how to explain it but it was tasty. Try it for yourself. Banh mi and grilled meat is good too but expensive compared to other places. The owners wife and husband chat with me a little. They've been here 10yrs and she's the only cook. read more

I was craving banh mi and decided to try Banh Town. I had the pork special banh mi with a fried egg. It was excellent! All of the meats were unctuous and tasty. A bit of pickled carrots and daikon radish with cilantro cut through the rich meats. There was some special mayo-based sauce at the bottom that I wish had been spread around a bit more on the roll. The fried egg was the kicker; it made the sandwich that much more rich. The roll was tender and flaky in all the right ways. The young woman who was running the front of the house was kind and gracious. I was curious to see how many folks ordered take-out. I was the only one to eat there. read more

Hits the spot for a banh mi craving. The bread is done really well, perfect amount of bounce, softness, and crunch. This is also one of the better tofu banh mis I've had as they season and sauce it well. Employees are also attentive and kind! read more

Well this place used to be our favorite but we recently had a bad experience (see photo). We tried to contact them through door dash and received no responce. Regardless it's going to be a long time before we can eat pho from anywhere again. read more
I went to Banh Town this week for my second visit, and have been pleased with the food both times I've been. Each time, I've gotten a sandwich (obviously that's their focus, I mean the place is called Banh Town right?). The first time I got the grilled pork, and it was pretty dang good, but had a couple of fatty bits that I wasn't too fond of. This time I got the 5-spice chicken, and it was excellent! This will be my go-to now for sure. Their baguettes are right on the money, with a crunchy, crumbly crust, but nice and soft inside. They include a really nice balance of meat, cucumbers, cilantro, and pickled veggies, plus jalapeños (a must on a proper banh mi). The chicken was really well spiced, and nice and tender. They also include a touch of pate on their sandwiches, which really pulls the whole thing together. So yummy! Unfortunately, ordering my sandwich was a bit of a challenge. Their menu is not accessible anywhere on their website (at least not on my mobile device), so I had to rely on images of it on Google. I didn't want to use DoorDash because it costs me more and the restaurant gets paid less, so I tried calling them directly several times, only to get a Verizon busy message. I was close by anyway, so I just went and ordered in person, and they said that their phone had not been occupied. They really need to figure this out because I guarantee they've lost potential customers who aren't going to jump through all those hoops, no matter how tasty a sandwich awaits on the other side! If you face the same situation, I'd urge you to just go order in person - my sandwich was ready in about 5 minutes, and was well worth the wait. read more

I ordered a regular sized dac biet and wings. Don't have pics for the wings because friend knocked it over the moment it was served, and just looked too messy to show. Anyway - pho was just okay compared to other spots around, although they added pepper on top, which was a first time for me. Meat and noodle were good, although the broth could certainly have been richer. The wings were terrible though - their batter is light and greasy, very different from the typical American style. If anything, it may have a sense of similarity to Korean wings. However, it's flavorless, dry, extremely greasy, and the sauce it came with was clearly oil-based and was falling apart when it was served. If you want a bowl of pho, there's no reason for you to avoid this place, but there are certainly better ones out there. read more

Good service and staff is nice! The sandwich's are amazing! I do not recommend the $10 spring rolls. Did not care for the meat, and the lettuce/cabbage mix was odd. Not what I am used to. read more

Nothing is better than getting some food and heading to the beach on a hot (Seattle) summer day, and that is exactly what we did! I had the corned beef bánh mi, without jalapeños. I have to say that the sandwich was pretty solid, and it is really cool how they offer corned beef in it too because I have never had corned beef in a sandwich before. Anyways, the sandwich just reminded me of Jimmy Johns, and I'm not sure if that is necessarily bad. The corned beef was very tender and sort of melted in your mouth, but it was pretty bland and had no real flavor. Same goes with the whole sandwich, it was sort of bland, and usually most places stuff the bánh mi with all their fillings, but in mine, there was very minimal fillings. This took away from the experience, flavor, and textures most bánh mi sandwiches I have had. It still was pretty solid though, not that it was bad. It just didn't have that "WOW" factor for me. The vermicelli bowl was very delicious though! Every single component complimented and combined together wonderfully. My favorite part of it all was the egg rolls because they were super cruncy, crisp, flakey, and super tasty! The noodles were also very lucious and perfectly cooked. The chicken was also very tasty and had nice flavors. Overall, the food was pretty good. It could've been better, but you know, not everything is going to be the best thing you have ever had! read more
