If I need my bánh mì fix, this is my absolute go-to. This little sandwich shop situated inside the…read moreHong Kong mall is the real deal for authentic, traditional bánh mì. You cannot beat their cold cut combo--especially for $6. They stuff it to the max with meat, but it's not just about the incredible value; the banh mi is just delicious. The bread has that perfect crisp crunch on the outside while staying airy inside, and every single layer of flavor hits just right. One of the best banh mi shops in town. **Be sure to bring cash, since they do not accept credit cards.

It was my first time at Vietwich and I had some dietary restrictions. She immediately started suggesting and accommodating my concerns. I got the tofu banh mi and the chicken banh mi. The chicken was standard and excellent. However, the tofu one. YALL. it's a must!!! The flavor is phenomenal. The quality was exceptional. I am dreaming of this banh mi currently!! I'm not even a huge tofu fan but this was an exception! We also got the veggie spring rolls which are classic Asian spring rolls. So delicious with the yummiest dipping sauce. Def a good appetizer to complement the sandwich. The ambiance is a sandwich shop vibe: few tables to sit and quick service. The place is super clean and there's plenty of parking! Am I gonna go back? To be honest, I'm already thinking about it...it's been less than 24 hours! Highly recommend!!

Can you believe that someone from Reddit recommended this restaurant after I expressed my desire to…read moreeat more vegan Vietnamese dishes? I was clueless about Duy's sandwich that has been a vegetarian restaurant at this location for 15 years until I came here talking to the employee. It's kind of tucked away from the main street view of Bellaire Blvd. The restaurant has a variety of banh mi sandwiches and some ready made vegan dishes on display tables. Wow. Everything looks so yummy. I was surprised with the flavors of my Lemongrass Sandwich. I was too busy to brag about the flavors to my friends on social media and completely forgot to open the sandwich to investigate the ingredients. The mayonnaise is eggless which made it completely vegan. Although I have been cooking a lot in recent months, I could never duplicate what they serve. Yeah, adding this Duy's Vegetarian Cafe to my favorite vegan restaurant list.

Duy's is a very unassuming restaurant/shop that's off to the side of a large plaza in…read moreAlief/Chinatown area of Houston. Its super casual and has the restaurant portion for sit down dining and quite a bit of takeout/vegetarian ingredients. My partner and I came in a Sunday afternoon and it was pretty quiet. Staff were extremely kind and friendly. You order and pay at the cashier then sit at a table to wait for your orser. We got the vegetarian cold cut combo banh mi, the lo mein, and the rice rolls. Everything was full of flavor and we did not miss animal protein. The banh mi had a nice, crisp bread along with a good amount of veggies and vegetarian cold cuts. The lo mein was very flavorful and the mushrooms really stood out as a nice unami bomb. The veggies were well cooked too and maintained crispness. My favorite was the rice rolls, which had the perfect texture, velvety, slightly QQ, and had a great filling along with a nice sauce. The veggies that accompanied it were a great addition too. My partner and I ended up getting a couple of their ready made dishes to take home and they were only $8 each. They were also delicious (basil kidney and stuffed bitter melon). I think the food here is solid and still affordable. To me, its a great restaurant that puts out good food that also happens to be vegetarian. I really didn't miss meat with my meals here and can't wait to come back!

Have you heard of hole in the walls? This is TRUE to that!…read more When I first walked in, I wasn't sure if I walked in the right place. My friend recommended their sandwiches and said they tend to sell out so I was imagining a full house. But no, I walked into a tiny cafe with freezers and refrigerators lining the walls and a few tables in the middle. There were only three others in the restaurant but it was a Tuesday lunch and raining outside. Apparently they've been around for about 8 years, but we are just visiting them for the first time. The menu has changed a bit, so don't pay attention to the posters on the wall. It's basically just sandwiches and 1 rice plate now. Their $8 special cold cut sandwich is expensive for being on Bellaire but I will say their meat was flavorful and there were a lot of it. I actually didn't finish my sandwich because I was helping my hubs finish his rice place. You can select two different meats for the $15 rice plate. I'm not even sure if my near-adult son could finish the rice plate by himself. Overall, I would highly recommend them and would come again! If you speak Viet, the owner likes to chat.

So I think this is my new favorite banh mi spot in town. Its definitely tucked away in a corner and…read moredoesn't look like much when you enter. There's a small dining space with fridges and freezers lining the restaurant as it seems they also sell a lot of prepared foods for people to fully cook themselves. The staff/owner was super friendly and was happy to help explain what's popular and what options they had. Sadly, they were out of the cold cut combo (dac biet) so my partner and i went for a grilled pork and beef tripe. If you've read any of my other reviews, you'd likely know I love offal meat and to have beef tripe in a banh mi was a whole experience for me. The tripe was well cooked (think dimsum braised style) and they put a nice sauce that is sweet, savory, and spicy on it too. It had fresh veggies and the bread itself was light and crisp. They also are not stingy at all with the meat as both the tripe and grilled pork banh mi were stacked with protein. The grilled pork was also really good, lemon grass, char flavor, and same sauce that was in the beef tripe banh mi as well. They do also offer other plates of food and one person was eating one when we came in and it looked delicious. After having the banh mi here, I can see myself stopping by to pick one up every time I'm in the area. It keeps well and because they were so large, we couldn't finish them but air fryer they came back to life and the bread remained light and crisp. Honestly, super recommend for a very filling, delicious, and affordable meal!

In additional to Banh mi, they also have some other breakfast items such as bò né and some specialty drinks. I got their meatball and dac biet banh mi. They are pretty generous with the sauce but they could've added more pickled veggies. I loved the meatball banh mi. The meatball portrays the typical xíu mại flavor, so tender and flavorful. I ate the dac biet one a few days later which probably goes in hand with why it was a little more dry at that point. Solid spot but I wouldn't say the best
