Classic Banh Mi
Sharon C.

This spot is alright for a banh mi. It wouldn't be my first recommendation, but it also wouldn't be my last! The portion size is good & enough for 2 people to share for the price of $12. We got the Classic & I did enjoy the meat & pate. The pickled veggies were a good balance. It wasn't traditional in my opinion, but if I was reallllly craving a banh mi, this would satisfy my craving!

Tumeric fish bun

Get the tumeric fish bun!!!!! SO GOOD and so flavorful. The egg coffee was okay. Lots of seating.

Viet Milk Coffee (C Ph Bac Siu) Beef bánh mì
Roslyn H.

***FOOD POISON ALERT‼*** Got food poisoned by the beef bánh mì and Vietnamese iced coffee in the evening. Felt nauseous until the food finally got out of my system at about 2 am. Couldn't sleep till 4 am. On the next day, I got a lymph node from my ear to my neck; this is my immune system's response for fighting the infection. Definitely won't come back. The good service and beautiful decorations can't make up for their contaminated food. The health department needs to shut this place down!

Classic Bahn Mi
John K.

Damn good banh mi! Great cozy cafe with unreal banh mis. Cant wait to come back and try more, we got the classic and its a cant miss. Great service with a friendly staff. Take a walk or ride down and have a great banh mi.

That is only *HALF* of the sandwich. The thing was. *YUUUUUUUUUGE!*.

I was recently back in cobble Hill, and so decided to stop here for lunch again. The lady at the counter was very friendly and helpful, and the gentleman who helped me last time was back in the kitchen. He remembered me, and said hello! Everybody here is great. This time, instead of a banh mi, I decided to have the beef noodle bowl. It was amazing! The beef was tender and seasoned very well, the noodles were perfectly done, and it also came with. Bean sprouts, lettuce, fresh herbs, and cucumber. It also came with an amazing. Nuoc Cham, which I love, for the dressing. I ate the entire thing, and I was stuffed! As always, the price was very reasonable. Thanks again for a great meal

Great option in Cobble Hill. People at work were raving about the banh mi here so I had to try. It was very spacious and clean. I got the classic banh mi. The bread could be toasted a bit more but no complaints on the meat and the pickled vegetables. It tasted very clean and fresh. It was not expensive about 12-13 for a good portion. Interested to come back to try the other options as well as get a drink.

Food (5/5) - Have never had pate in a banh mi outside of Vietnam. Amazing experience. Bread was perfectly toasted and didn't have the teeth-knocking characteristic of a baguette, as banh mi baguettes should be. Service + Ambiance (5/5) - Staff were friendly, split our coffee into 2 cups, service was prompt. Small shop, plenty of space, more of a counter serve rather than sit-down place. The bathroom steals the show, it's hidden in a fake shelf. Price (5/5) - Huge portion, was 2 meals for me, and paid 13 ish. Great experience. They also slice it in half and pack it well in a paper bag.

Cà phê trứng/Egg Coffee 3.75. Tasty uncommon rich and sweet coffee
Glenn C.

I was at this Vietnamese spot a while back being pretty close to where I live as I had passed by once on the way to the park. The person in front was friendly and there were handful of others there both before I left with my sandwich and after I left. Casual ambiance similar to that of a hipster coffee joint. While waiting, I decided to get a Egg Coffee or Cà phê trứng which was $3.75. This drink which is rather uncommon in New York is made as per the name with egg yolk and strong coffee along with sugar and condensed milk and it is served in an espresso cup. The drink has a good caffeine kick with a good amount of sweetness and creaminess. It was very tasty and I would likely have again ignoring how many calories it likely has even in it's small 4 oz cup. To eat, I got the Classic Bánh Mì/Banh Mi with pâté, pork roll, jambon (ham,) and mayo. As per every other banh mi, it comes with cilantro, cucumber, pickled carrot, and daikon and it was $11.50. I got it spicy and there were also some jalapenos on there. They also have several other selections including chicken beef tofu and a unique one called frita-te which I likely will get next time. The sandwich was reasonably sized with a lot of filling. There was some sweetness from the pickled vegetables and some richness from the meat. Nicely flavored pate in particular. They perhaps use a too much cilantro but it works for me. I wish they were a bit closer because the sandwich is a lot better and a lot more worth it than Banhmigos or the various Hanco's nearby but I don't mind walking an extra 10 minutes for a much better sandwich. Will go back probably very soon.

Really sweet spot with a delicious beef banh mi and okay classic pork banh mi. Love their unique and creamy egg coffee, a little shot of egg, vanilla, espresso, and condensed milk. Lots of quaint seating inside and a cozy way about it that's easy to work and linger in. Would come back for the delicious egg coffee and beef banh mi!

Beautiful interior
Gertrude C.

As you guys know, New York has been on and off again with hot weather, cold weather. For this cold windy day I wanted to warm up with a cup of hot chocolate and was pleasantly surprised to see that this restaurant had a mint flavored hot chocolate, which was so delicious. I highly recommend you try it with almond milk. The cashier was super kind and informative about the food they offered as well.

Tofu Banh Mi
Natalie A.

DELICIOUS! The chicken and the tofu banh mi were to die for. The service was quick, and the space was great for eat-in or even working remotely. I came in for a quick lunch on a Wednesday and it was fairly empty. Highly recommend!

Walked in and was able to get a seat without reservation, but it definitely filled up by 6/7 pm. The place is dimly lit and the tables are quite small. For the food, we got their Brussel sprouts, shrimp, salmon entree and chicken entree. Our favorite were definitely the shrimp. But everything else when eaten together tasted a bit too greasy and felt monotonous in terms of flavor. Brussel sprouts were fried and held to a decent amount of oil, then the addition of tahini made it even more oily. Pan chicken we expected whole pieces of chicken but it was more like a thin chicken cutlet. The salmon came with a cauliflower puree which tasted so rich (with butter), but I couldn't finish it bc it was so rich.

People have left some odd reviews of this place, including a one-star review for the restaurant…read moreapparently being highly politicized--a vibe I neither felt nor could visually identify within or without the establishment. I ordered a single burger and a Sudan spiced peanut butter latte, for ~$15! That's pretty inexpensive for New York City. I note this as some consider it overpriced. I suppose the food is fairly inexpensive, the lattes slightly higher than average. The "burger" comes wrapped in a homemade pita with diced cucumber, onion, and tomato, plus a few crispy, thick-cut fries and a yummy house sauce. It was a cool twist of the traditional burger and had a nice flavor. The sauce was like a slightly Mediterranean version of Big Mac sauce. The girl working as the barista and cashier was very nice and friendly. She had a nice presence and warm smile, made suggestions, and even gave a stranger free utensils when they popped on to ask. I think it's definitely worth checking out, and it's a good place for a cheap & simple meal that's still quirky and fun.

Perhaps I should have anticipated that, or my mistake in ordering. I also ordered a Moroccan egg salad sandwich which was substantive but surprisingly bland--sparse with the advertised capers and pickled red onions to give it more punch. I've always loved the look of the spot and the vibe--funky decor, outside and indoor facing counters to order, with some outdoor seating for people watching on Dekalb or heading nearby Ft. Greene Park. I see they are renovating and rebranding a bit and adding some burger component. While I didn't love it, I'd definitely give it another shot.
