Bahn Mi is my favorite sandwich. So when I do a review of one, I hold it to a pretty high standard. When I walked into Crispy Bahn Mi I knew it was going to be great. It looked family owned/run, there were fresh Vietnamese baguettes piled high and a simple menu full of traditional delicious sandwiches and sides. I ordered the B4 Grilled Pork and side of regular french fries. The order came out quickly and I couldn't wait to take a bite. After trying both a french fry and the bahn mi I can say that they both live up to the "crispy" name. The bahn mi bread tasted fresh and crispy. The grilled pork was juicy and tender, full of flavor. The marinade was sweet, savory, sour and had a little kick in each bite. The pickled veggies were a great compliment to the pork and always one of my favorite parts of the sandwich. The french fries were a great side. They were so crispy and seasoned great. If you're in the area you should check out Crispy Bahn Mi, I highly suggest it! read more

Great place to try Banh mi sandwich! The sandwich is packed with lots of meats and other tasty ingredients. The summer roll was loosely wrapped and not easy to hold it to dip into the sauce. I would have give it five-star if their summer roll was up to my expectations. read more

Tried this on Uber Eats and it was just ok, banh mi was decent but the Vietnamese coffee was just mediocre at best. When I got the package the iced drinks were on top of the sandwich so it was ice cold by the time I got it. Also got a lychee smoothie which was very good. read more

Crispy Banh Mi - Man looks like a staple. Was in my meat. I almost choked. Luckily not a person to sue. - Vietnamese Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Very high quality sandwich and delicious egg rolls. Everybody was very nice and the food came fast.

The last three times I've been to the Ballantyne location I've been pretty disappointed... I get the summer rolls and they're so loosely rolled and stuck together. They just fall apart and the rice paper is super gummy. You can't even eat them and at that point I might as well just get a vermicelli bowl. The flavor is still great but I I'll have to stick to the Ayrsley location for summer rolls. read more

Pleasantly surprised how good this was! The Grilled Pork Banh Mi was seasoned great, amazing roll, loaded with veggies, honestly I wasn't expecting it. The wings and fries were also great. 5/5 nothing but a great lunch stop. read more

Cuisine: 8 Service: 7 Decor: 5 Value: 8 Overall: 8 Fyi, you're not here for a beautiful surrounding or top notch service. A visit here is for a really good banh mi with crispy bread that was soft and pillowy on the inside. My favorite ingredient inside the sandwich was definitely the headcheese, which was delicious. The veggies were noticeably more vinegary compared to Pho Van nearby. I do wish there were more cold cuts and pâté. I would definitely order double meat and pâté next time. Then it would be an amazing banh mi. read more

Best banh mi we have found in Charlotte thus far. We are from the west coast so we know authentic Asian. Ingredients were very fresh and perfectly seasoned. read more

(I currently have an order on the way after eating here on Wednesday. Need I say more?!) This is a quaint, easily accessible location. There aren't many images of the food, if you're unfamiliar with Vietnamese dishes, but that's what Yelp is for! I knew I was in for a treat after sifting through the reviews. Grilled pork: 5/5. Flavorful. Plenty of meat. Spicy enough. Noodle bowl: 5/5. Loved the fish sauce. I thought about this sandwich for the last three days. So excited to add Banh Mi into my rotation. read more

Seriously, this place kinda reminds me of home. You can never go wrong with any items on the menu. I always pick some sort of banh mi. Always delicious. The meat is very hefty, there is a lot, where you almost wanna be like, less meat, which never really happens anywhere but I'm not complaining. It's just crazy how much the price of banh I'm has changed over time, I remember it being 3$. I definitely miss that. I got Che, the combination #1. Always delicious. Such a big portion I wish it was half the size and price so I can finish it in one sitting. The service is always good. Friendly staff. Food comes out pretty quick. Ambiance, fast food take out place. I love that it's so closed to me. I definitely wish they had more stuff on the menu. They have their own parking shaded with other businesses. I believed they close every Tuesday, but if I wanted a quick snack, this is where I would go. read more

Milk teas was good. Employees are unfriendly and act bothered that they have to wait on you.

Had an excellent meal here last year when I stayed in the Charlotte area. I ordered thru GrubHub for pickup without any issues. The workers were all very nice. The food was really tasty and fresh. I ordered the egg rolls, BBQ pork sandwich, sweet potato fries, and Combo #2 dessert, no ice. I would get everything I ordered again. I would definitely come back when in town and recommend them for lunch - great quality and value. read more

One of the best banh mi sandwich I've ever had and I don't usually eat it. The eggrolls were good as well. Definitely a good spot to try.

Finally had a chance to try them out the other day and was really impressed with the overall quality of my meal. I ordered the pork bánh mì and the chicken bánh mì sandwich. in addition to the chicken wings and the fried quail wings. I also order two of their specialty Boba drinks, including the strawberry Matcha green tea, The sandwiches were spot on, and the bread was authentic, which I know is a big deal for bánh mì fans. Everything is made fresh in house, from what appears to be an entire family run operation. Definitely a plus for me as I love to support local businesses, especially family, run operations. They seem to be a popular lunch place for people in the area as I was joined by two or three other groups of four picking up orders to head back to the office. I would definitely recommend trying them out if you are in the area and looking for something a little different. read more

Solid 4 star Banh Mi. Not the best Banh Mi I've ever had, but solidly 4-4.5 stars. I had the cold cut classic, but paid $1.50 to add the lemongrass flavored pork. $9.10 total. With inflation, I'm fine with that price. All ingredients are fresh, good meat, good pickled veggies. Inside is modest, nothing to write home about, but nice clean, staff were both very nice people! I'll be back. read more

I stopped by this place after a Costco run in Charlotte. I needed to bring food home to feed my clan. This place has a couple of vegetarian options. I bought a vegetarian banh mi, crispy quail, vegetarian rolls, three grilled chicken banh mi, a lychee tea and a peach tea. Service was good. The drinks was not our favorites, but the foods were very good. read more

Was in town and decided to buy a variety of sandwiches from the combination, grilled beef, to the basic cha lua, spring rolls & with 2 large coffees.... Please skip the spring rolls. Highly disappointed and sadly this time I had a bad batch of coffees because they were definitely bitter. I had good coffee from here before so I decided to get 2 larges to only throw one away without even putting the straw in it. As for the sandwiches, ask for the veggies on the side if you're not going to eat it right away and have a long drive home if you're from out of town. The bread still taste great after toasting it in the toaster oven for about 4-5 min then top it off with your fresh veggies! read more

Quick, flavorful, filling, and reasonably priced! I've been meaning to try this place for some time and glad I finally did for lunch. Popped in before the lunch rush, around 11:15, only a few people so was in and out with my order rather quickly. I got a pork bang mi and a chicken banh mi. Both were great, but the pork one really stood out. It was delicious, packed with flavor, and the herbs and veggies were fresh and crisp. I can't wait to go back to try more of their menu! read more

Crispy Banh Mi is located within a small shopping mall. The turn is easy to miss so make sure to pay attention or you will have to make a U-turn (like me) further down the road. I stopped in right before noon and the flow of traffic was constant. People were coming in and out the whole time I was there.  First off, the prices are fantastic! It's hard to find quality food for this price range. I went with the following... #1 Crispy Sandwich: This is the special banh mi, basically the traditional sandwich that you are used to. The bread was on point! Just enough to hold the sandwich together. The filling was fantastic! Everything was so balanced!  Fries: Wow! They give a lot of fries! Super crispy and fresh fries too! I was quite impressed! Must have if you're looking to eat a full meal! Vietnamese Coffee: Another level of strength and taste! Loved it! My only regret was that I got the small instead of the large. Overall, great customer service! The shop could use some cleaning but if you are there for the food, you'll be fine. read more

Overall a very solid banh mi place. As you can see from my pictures, the sandwich is very long but skinny. Vietnamese coffee is more sweet than strong. I do appreciate the large menu here and the fact that they offer different Vietnamese dishes outside of only banh mi. We got the classic (various deli cuts and pate) and the grilled chicken. The bread tastes fresh and flaky. Both were great, but how can you mess up a banh mi? Haha read more

Wow. Best Banh Mi in Charlotte. The sandwich has the perfect balance of flavors. The passion tea was a great addition to the meal as well. Love this place read more

I've never had Vietnamese next to a refinery before, so that was interesting. I had a hankering for banh mi and this place was pretty close by so I went for it. I tried three items from here: eggrolls, honeydew milk tea, and the traditional cold cut banh mi. Pros: Decent price for the size of banh mi (the sandwich was probably 1.5 times the size of a typical banh mi) Eggrolls had the nice garlicky porky flavor typical of Vietnamese style eggrolls Honeydew milk tea was in a fun and unique cup and taste was yummy - like a Melona melon pop Cons: It took a long time to get my food - the folks behind the counter didn't seem to be moving with any purpose Taste of banh mi was just ok - ratio of pickled vegetables to meat was way too veggie Milk tea was chalky and not even completely mixed; I expected they'd use a powder, but at least let me pretend that this was crafted with love using the highest quality ingredients Overall: It hit the spot for my craving while in town, but wouldn't draw me back again if I'm in the Charlotte area again. read more

Much better experience this time. The chicken banh mi was back up to par with my expectations.

Fabulous banh mi spot. I was starving coming in and it hit the spot real good. It was very affordable and didn't compromise on the quality or quantity. I got: Summer rolls - $5 Crispy's favorite - $6.50 Grilled pork - $7 My favorite by far was the grilled pork banh mi. Perfectly marinated and tender pieces of pork, just absolute perfection in each succulent bite. The crispy's favorite had a little bit of everything: fish cake, grilled chicken, and some cold cuts. That was good too. Summer rolls tasted average to what I've had before. Highly recommended! Get the grilled pork banh mi. You won't be disappointed! read more

The grilled pork banh mi was good. The pork was a tad bit on the sweeter side than I preferred. It was nice the jalapeno seeds were scraped off from the jalapeno slices, so still gave some spiciness without being super spicy. People who like super spicy might not like that. My partner tried the barbecue pork and meatball. According to him, the Barbecue pork was too fatty. The meatball tasted better but not that great. The meatball was a cold processed meat with a weird flavor. One banh mi was filling for me, whereas 1.5 banh mis were satisfying for my partner. The Vietnamese iced coffee was okay. The boba was way too undercooked. They really need to taste test the boba after cooking it. My partner didn't really enjoy the Lychee Tea, too artificial tasting. If I came back, I would just stick with the grilled pork banh mi. read more

They say there is no lunch that is free, And this one will cost seven fifty, But it's worth every penny, Cuz like Forrest loved Jenny, You'll fall for your Crispy Banh Mi. The drinks here are damn good as well, Made with skill and with love, I can tell, In each sip you'll revel, And if Barbie's the devil, Then I always want to be in hell. Charlotte has some fantastic meals, But no surprise when Fox E reveals, NC's best Viet sandwich, And I'm Barbie's fave man which, Means I get to take off her heels. I know most men are jealous of me, Because I'm semi-dating Barbie, She said, take my V-Card, Then go hit the gym hard, And then take me to Crispy Banh Mi! What to get: Banh Mi & Drinks. What not to get: Banh Mi & Drunk, then pulled over. This place keeps giving me warnings and more warnings and "final warnings" for all of my public lewdness and obnoxiousness on their property. I don't understand why they don't just Crispy Ban Me from their establishment. I accidentally slept over in Charlotte when I wasn't intending to for the second night in a row, which meant that I was able to try one more thing in the morning before I left town, and that was Crispy Banh Mi. Oh my goodness I'm so glad I did! These people know exactly what they're doing. The girl serving me was one of the sweetest little angels, and she was the perfect server. She was so helpful and so nice and so friendly and so great at advising me, and she made sure that I got the roasted crispy pork instead of the BBQ pork which most people usually recommend at other places. I like roasted pork much better if it's done right and it just so happens that these guys do it similarly my fave Banh Mi in Texas just outside Houston named Spring Roll Express of all things. So the sandwich here is incredible. It's funny because I asked her to make it extra spicy and put jalapenos on it and she told me to put Sriracha on it. Turns out that it comes with jalapenos. There I was planning on how when I bring Barbie back here that we're going to bring a jalapeno with us in chop it up and put it on the sandwich, but yeah it comes with it and everything works perfectly on this wonderful sandwich. One of the very best I've had anywhere. When I brought Barbie here, she loved it too. Although we didn't love some of the looks, laughter, and remarks from some of the boys working on the food. Then there is the milk tea. Do not get me started on the milk tea. I asked for Vietnamese coffee or milk tea, already knowing the answer which was that Vietnamese coffee is always better at Vietnamese places. She's like, I like our milk tea better. I was a bit thrown by this and almost went against her recommendation because I know from experience that Vietnamese milk teas are usually meh tasting and powdered or pre-made or something and that Vietnamese coffee is often perfect, although often not. But she was quite convincing and she knows her own products and she recommended the milk tea, and I'm in love with good milk teas, so I gave it a try and they've really made a great effort with this milk tea! They basically make a milk tea like a Vietnamese iced coffee. I'm so impressed! I think it has condensed milk in it much like a Vietnamese iced coffee. So yeah, they know exactly what they're doing and they've done it very well. I could not be any more impressed with their products and when I brought the beautiful pornstar here, which was very exciting, she loved it too, though not as much as I hoped... but just taking her places is very exciting. But have you seen her? Wouldn't you be? Oh and to the boys behind the grill who were giggling and snickering while I was doing my Boba posing, keep on giggling. Some Vietnamese sandwiches use Crispy Bad Meat, but this place does not. It's perfect. read more
