Yum!! Got the grilled pork sandwich tonight. There's 2 locations now- one on 7th and now on 5th too. It was delicious. Perfectly balanced sandwich. Got mango boba too, really good. $10 limit on cards, but amazing bang for your buck. Recommend!!! read more

Henry's - Grilled Pork Banh Mi - Vietnamese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Henry's honestly was always my friends and I go to place but recently we have always ended up getting food poisoning right after we ate their pork sandwich. During the start of COVID we went back their and ordered their pork sandwich and a couple days later we both started having non-stop diarrhea. Just 2 days ago, we both ordered pork sandwich again and today we are having non-stop diarrhea and we usually never experience this. I'm truly hoping no one else is experiencing this but it's a very uncomfortable feeling. We really enjoyed Henry's and have been regular customers but now my friend and I are so afraid to eat their after this second experience for the second time. read more

I had the grilled pork with rice dish from here. It was a bit of a disappointment because this place does not have the normal grilled pork they grill themselves like a Vietnamese place should. They serve char siu instead. And this is definitely char siu that has been precut, and bought by the pound from a Chinese place. It was okay to fill my stomach but not what I expected. read more

Love the chicken Bahn Me at Henry's. Service is great and sandwiches are yummy. It is a take out restaurant so no real ambiance. For me it is just a delicious sandwich stop. read more

We got the Classic Sandwich which was very delicious and filling. My favorite part was the ground pork section of the sandwich that was both flavorful with creamy sauce and some spiciness. read more

Bahn mi is one of my favorite foods and I was so excited to try this place out based on the great reviews. This review is based more on the delivery service than the food (3 stars because the food was good). I placed an order on Seamless and the food was scheduled to be delivered between 7:35-7:45. 8:00 rolls around so I decide to call and check the status. The person who answered said they had "missed the order and would get it out to me as soon as possible" (no apology given which I thought was rude). Another 35 minutes rolls around...still no food. I called AGAIN to check the status and was told "it's out for delivery". Again, no apology given. The food was pretty good. Better than other bahn mi places in the area, but to me, customer service is everything. When ETA of delivery is 30-40 minutes and almost 2 hours later your food arrives, that's just unacceptable. I might be willing to try this place again, but certainly not through delivery! read more

Henry's bahn mi is really tasty. I think their vegetarian sandwiches are even better than the meat ones. And their bubble tea uses smaller tapioca pearls so you get more each mouthful. Really good, affordable quick food. read more

Tried the taro milk green tea. Very good texture for the tapioca pearls, they were chewy and sweet. The tea itself was a little too sweet for my taste but the taro flavor was strong. I'll be back to try since sandwiches. read more

Henry's - Taro Green Tea - Vietnamese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Pretty decent bubble tea. I asked for half-sweet, but since they have the passion fruit part pre-mixed, it seems like all they could do was water it down. Bubbles were appropriately chewy, on the small side. Decaf tea still packed a little bit of a punch. Overall, decent, but I wouldn't go out of my way to go back for the bubble tea. read more

Great local spot! Amazing food and they're pretty speedy. Happy to always be supporting this small business.

I was hoping to find a fav summer roll spot a short walk from home. So I tried Henry's and I am sorry to say that I was disappointed. I found the roll to have too much rice vermicelli versus greens and shrimps. But most of all the smell coming from the shrimps was not good. I might give it a second try, maybe going during the morning instead of a late afternoon, but I am not sure. Price $4.50 for the two rolls Service ok, not the most smiling guys but Ok. Please, Please increase quality so I'll come and see you often! read more

Henry's - Nice look but not satisfying summer rolls. Sorry. - Vietnamese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This place is tiny, so don't plan on eating in. Their food is very tasty and it's my go-to Vietnamese in the neighborhood. I love their garden roll. The peanut sauce is plentiful and the two rolls are generously sized. I usually order the shredded chicken bahn mi, which is tasty. The bread is what makes that sandwich. It is a delicious French loaf. My husband usually ordered a the pho and really enjoys it. read more

Very tasty! I had the vegetarian pork sandwich. I ordered it mild and it definitely had a pretty good kick. I liked it but be warned. Bread was toasted and fresh and the veggies were fresh too. Recommended! read more

We order Bahn Mi and the Fresh Spring from Henry's several times a month. The bread has the right texture and crunch, their pickles and vegetables are just right and the grilled pork and grilled chicken are so tasty! Plus, their sandwiches are a bargain! Half a sandwich can fill me up, but it is so tasty that I sometimes end up eating the whole sandwich in a sitting. If you want bubble tea, they have excellent bubble tea as well. There is a minimum amount if you want to pay by card. I am so happy that Henry's is in South Slope! read more

One of my favorite places in Brooklyn to get a Vietnamese sandwich. I usually come and get an extra spicy shredded chicken sandwich. Bread is always crunchy on the outside soft on the inside. Perfect amount of chicken and pickled vegetables. Even when I ask for extra spicy, it doesn't overpower the taste of the sandwich. Would definitely recommend this spot. read more

Henry's - Shredded chicken sandwich- forgot to take a picture before taking a bite - Vietnamese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I have to weigh in on the Hanco's vs Henry's controversy. Too all the Hanco's fans out there: face it, Henry's is far superior. Henry's is cleaner, has better service, and most importantly the sandwiches are better. Henry's has great bread, and the perfect amount of veggies and cilantro. Hanco's uses way too much carrot, what are they thinking? read more

Pretty good Bahn Mi, however I was disappointed the summer rolls did not have mint as that is a classic Vietnamese flavor. Nice portions and prices. read more

The bubble tea was super sweet and the pho was all right. I wasnt really impressed and it made me crave the Vietnamese food in Chinatown. I'll give it another shot with the pork dish, but was really disappointed by the bubble tea. read more

Excellent service and tasty food! Their classic sandwich, pho and bubble tea choices never disappoint.

Love them. I go here all the time. Great prices, great food. I'm vegetarian, and there's quite a few options. The tofu bahn mi and garden rolls are my favorite. Their peanut sauce is addictive. highly recommend. read more

I dont know how they are marinating this meat but i hope they never change bc its AMAZING. Im in the middle of my first sandwich and had to post a review bc i am in pure love. Wow read more

My go to Boba spot. I love their Boba and I love their sandwiches. I also enjoy their pho. The best thing about Henry's is besides the fact they're like right near me and always consistent. I've never ordered anything from there that I didn't like. I just wish they could mix flavors of their fruit smoothies like mango strawberry instead of just ordering mango or strawberry. read more

Best food delivery service in my entire life! I ordered food and it came in 12 mins! It was so quick and food is delicious too! I'm so glad I made a order with Henry!! read more

Honestly was very unimpressed by Henry's - much prefer Hanco's down the street. The banh mi sandwich is long and thin, plus they skimped me a little on the meat. Sandwich tasted great regardless, just wish it was a bit more filling. Knowing that I have the alternative of Hanco's makes me drop this down to a 3. read more

We got the pho, summer rolls, papaya salad and grilled chicken rice dish. Everything was wonderful! Definitely will be going back!

Really small basic shop but good bubble tea. I got the taro milk tea with bubbles. They were soft and chewy in a good way. A few people got food too. Credit card 8 dollar minimum. read more

This place is cheap and fast for a solid banh mi. Always delivers on taste (this is a saucier banh mi, for those that are used to crispier, drier ones), although rarely do they give you enough jalapenos for spiciness. Still, will come here religiously for a filling nomwich. I would, however, advise against the brown rice dishes. I've had the grilled pork over brown rice and it's just terribly reheated, dry and chewy and the flavor is whacked out and weird. Just not that appetizing. BANH MI SO HUNGRY RIGHT NOWWWW thinking about Henry's. read more

You already had "the best banh mi ever made in the world" during some mythical trek to a dingy shop in another borough. A journey reminiscent of Lord of the Rings but with less orcs and an equal amount of signs not in English. Today you live in Park Slope, it's 8 PM on a Monday night, you don't really feel like making dinner or eating pizzeria pasta and just want something good, convenient and simple. Get a classic at Henry's. read more

Banh Mi & me? We get along. Well. What's not to love about a somewhat healthy sandwich composed of fresh French bread, pickled veggies and tender marinated meat or tofu? So much to love...and typically for pretty damn cheap. Henry's. Huh. A few minor peeves... *Not that cheap: $6 for our Viet-sandwiches. Typically they can run half that, even in NY. *They are slathered with mayo. MAYO!? I've eaten banh mi all over the country, and never has it come standard with mayo. It went from moderately healthy to "Big Mac cal-Status," quickly. *The bubble tea is made from powder (eh, ok) and a bit confusing to order. They don't ask if you want blended (I do) so I got a cup of mango juice on ice with tapioca, which is pretty gross. I ended up throwing the entire thing away and it was about $5. My guy pal went back inside to request a blended one...and they did so, but not before several rounds of "what? huh?" due to the language barrier. Not their fault, but perhaps making things very clear in this regard will help. On the plus side, the tapioca balls were quite fresh! The good: *Bread was very fluffy and sturdy, a difficult combination to master. I appreciate when I can eat banh mi and not have to douse myself in orajel afterwards. *Staff was friendly, takeout was pretty quick. There is very minimal seating (1 table, a few counter spots) so the best option here is order takeout and carry to the park, or order delivery. It's a bit overpriced for what it is, but it does in a pinch in Park Slope. I will find the best banh mi in NYC, and I will travel to achieve it. Suggestions welcome! read more

So, I've pledged my banh mi allegiance elsewhere in the area, but such pledges don't exactly stand a chance when laziness is a factor. And since Henry's isn't an extra five blocks away from my apartment, yeah, you do the math. Don't get me wrong - their Vietnamese Sandwich (I'm partial to the Shredded Chicken) is good, teetering on very good. If you like extra crunchy bread and loads of mayo, look no further, seriously. Personally, I prefer a tamer baguette, a notch or two down in the crunch department (and maybe a tick or two up in the pull department), and as much as I am an advocate for mayonnaise, the meat here is really slathered in the stuff. Flavor is not an issue as Henry's banh mi is no doubt delicious, but the texture headbutt between crunchy and creamy costs it a few points at the judges' table. Meanwhile, the Summer Rolls (those are the shrimp ones) seem catalogue-ordered standard-issue for Vietnamese joints in the area. Not that that's a complaint, really. I still enjoy 'em. Be forewarned, the hole-in-the-wall spot is a little dingy and as character-vacant as stepping into an abandoned, unplugged refrigerator. For whatever reason, the whole place has smelled like seafood lately even though there's very little seafood even on the menu (aside from the aforementioned Summer Rolls, there's a Sardine Sandwich and a Vegetarian Fish Pho, whatever the hell vegetarian fish is). What I'm trying to say is that Henry's isn't exactly a "dine-in" type of establishment, despite the couple of tables, counter seating, free wi-fi, and stacks on stacks on stacks of magazines. I mention this all, but none of it has ever really stopped me from grabbing a banh mi to go, so I guess that's gotta say something of their product, right? Anyway, Henry's, as Bruce Springsteen once gruffed, "You ain't a beauty, but hey, you're alright." I believe he was talking 'bout a girl, though, and not a Vietnamese sandwich joint. Really can't be too sure. read more

This is maybe the best banh mi I have had in years, and I live in LA where Vietnamese food is abundant. I ordered the pork banh mi on a lark, while traipsing through this neighborhood and peeping Yelp, of course. It was $7 even, and I didn't realize there was a debit minimum, and only had $7 and some change on me. I felt so bad that I couldn't leave an adequate tip, and offered to walk to an ATM and come back, but they were so nice and said to just get them on the next one. I came here to review them because THIS SANDWICH IS AMAZING. If I am running errands again near this subway stop, this is for sure a must-do lunch or dinner pickup! read more

I had my first Vietnamese sandwich last night and it was great! It was the (boiled) chicken sandwich (spicy) and I was very pleasantly surprised. I'm looking forward to ordering from here again soon! read more

Much better Vietnamese sandwiches than Hanco's. They also have lovely summer rolls. I always get the vegetarian pork sandwiches, and they're delicious. My husband loves the shredded chicken. Quick to get your food. No outdoor seating. read more

Update: so i went to hanco's yesterday to compare to my experience. let me just put out there that i am vietnamese and was born in a city where the vietnamese population is greater than NYC.in other words, i come from where actual vietnamese people make and serve the authentic vietnamese food. ***this review is based on the sandwiches only*** the only real Vietnamese banh mi is the "classic" on the menu. all of the other options are American-invented. the classic banh mi from Henry's has that really flavorful pork and pate taste that i miss so much from my childhood. i always ask for extra cilantro with my sandwich as i am used to a lot. the french baguette is how it is supposed to be. crispy and flaky on the outside and warm and soft on the inside. THIS IS WHAT HANCO'S LACKS. the bread from hanco's was too crispy, falling apart and not at all soft on the inside. it actually hurt the roof of my mouth when i got through the sandwich. the pork wasn't as tasty and flavorful as henry's and thats just that. it's also 50 cents more per sandwich than henry's. Yes, hanco's is more attractive on the inside and inviting for you to eat in, but it always comes down to the flavor of the food to me. So, there's my take on the Hanco's vs. Henry's battle. Henry's takes the cake....or sandwich! Oh p.s. the original and jasmine green bubble teas are delish. read more

The banh mi here are 50 cents cheaper than Hanco's, and they are more or less the same. I had a classic and gave a non-committal yes to a spicy, it ended up much milder than Hanco's sandwiches. The bread here is a little lighter, the fillings a little bit more distinct, but it's opening day and I've a sample size of 1 so it's not exactly hard data. The menu's design and contents are conspicuously similar to that of their competitor's. Prices are the same or a quarter or so cheaper, but there aren't any desserts sitting on the countertop and the space is much smaller. 10% off today (opening day), and 10% off on takeout if you bring a menu (or at least bring the menus they're giving out for now). read more

Location, location, location isn't everything. Henry's is right around the corner from me. Right around the corner. Takes me about eighty-five seconds to get there. Yet, even at such an economical distance, I think I shall return to Hanco's a few blocks down the road. Henry's has dropped the ball more than a few times in the past month for me (I tend to go there a bit). I've had more than one overly-milky coffee recently, but the real challenge are the sandwiches. The "classic" always tastes lopsided, as if all the flavor and "spicy" goes to one side of the bun - it's not made with love. The worst happened the other night. I swung by and grabbed a chix sandwich on wheat. The roll was STALE. I don't mean "eh" ... I mean STALE. How the thing didn't shatter when they cut into it is beyond me. I ate the innards (which were yummy) and threw the rest away. Some of you may be wondering: If you live so close to Henry's, why didn't you just return it? I live in a fourth floor walk-up. That's why. read more

Service is so much faster and less crowded than Hanco's. These people are so friendly, they practically jump up from behind the counter to high five me when I walk in the door. Ok no high five, but they're just so nice and friendly that it keeps me going back. Bubble Tea is a bit pricey but at least their sandwiches are cheaper and tastier than Hanco's. My roommates and I are always freaking out for Henry's Sandwiches! Awesome veg options like faux pork, ham, fish, and chicken. All delicious although I think the pork is the best. If you're vegan, just ask for no mayo/butter and the sauce on it makes it super delicious anyway. read more

The Bad - Bread was not as cripsy as I wanted it - Need a bit more veggies in it - Small place The Good - Can choose how spicy you want it (they put a type of sauce and not those jalapenos) - Vegan selections (veg. pork, chicken--tastes like tofu though, not saying that it is bad) - Classic sandwich (the bbq pork inside tastes diff from other viet sandwiches---pretty good and familiar taste) - Grilled chicken sandwich (better than the shredded one) The Bottomline- Worth checking out. They got cool bubble tea drinks as well as good viet sandwiches. It's a small store though but you can still eat in. read more

So after months of deliberating, I realized that in the Henry's versus Hanco's battle. Hanco's wins on 2 things: pho and bubble tea. Although Henry's is cheaper on both accounts. Hanco's makes up for it with buy 9, get 1 free cards and much, much better beef pho. Actually even though Henry's is much closer to my apartment. I'll always make the walk to Hanco's. Also the cut of beef used in the pho at Henry's is just really chewy and the broth is just not as good. read more

Very simple: Henry's over Hanco's any day of the week. Service is quick. The place is clean and doesn't stink up the block. Inquire More - If you like it spicy, Henry's will take care of you. Stay Away - The summer rolls are just a lot of noodles with uneventful peanut sauce. read more
