Honestly, I was pleasantly surprised by my experience at this place. My first thought was, "Bahn Mi in Manayunk? C'mon, how good can it be?", but as soon as I tasted the food, I was blown away. Truly one of the best Bahn Mi sandwiches I've had in the area, and I've tried a huge amount of em across Philly. Worthy of five stars and worth the trip out to the neighborhood if you're in another part of the city. Fu Wah still has my heart, but this place is incredible. read more

To the point - it was ok but not that great Mi n Tea caught my eye with their Gettin' Fancy Banh Mi, so I'll start there. I got the filet mignon medium rare and did not remove any of the standard offerings. First bite was just a carrot overload, they say the carrots are pickled but that acidity just wasn't there so it was just carrot flavor. The filet mignon is fried but didn't have a crunch or much seasoning to it so it relatively tasted like a meat was present. The "House special sauce" had such a minuscule effect on the sandwich until the end middle of the half. The bread was standard Banh Mi baguette style roll but wasn't anything remarkable in regard to crunch, softness and taste. Overall I give the Gettin' Fancy an unfortunate 3/10 "The Classic" held up to it a name, it's very much a classic Banh mi, we initially thought the "belly cuts" were going to be more of a thick pork belly but was deli slice thin. Not a big problem but the sandwich lacked depth, I found myself hav3 similar flavor experiences between the two sandwiches which wasn't great but I think that comes from the overuse of the vegetables which overshadowed the meats for me. I give "The Classic" a ok 4/10 The Bulgogi Bowl was pretty good, I think the heavy hand of veggies work here. I do however wish the beef itself was a bit more seasoned as again it just felt like a cooked beef meat and lacked the flavorful addition it so desperately needed. The Bulgogi Bowl gets an ok 4.5/10 The Furikake Fries were the star but mainly because nothing else shined. The furikake seasoning was just thrown on top of truthful really well fried fries. They had a great crunch and were a bit airy, very small but still satisfying. The season didn't do much, I wish that added maybe a garlic oil and tossed them in the seasoning instead of just sprinkling it on top. It came with spicy ketchup which we actually, it's nothing too crazy, very true to the name. The Furikake Fries get a nice 6.5/10 We got 3 drinks but I forgot to snap a picture, forgive me. We got the Matcha Cloud Latte, Mi n' Tea Milk Tea, and some coffee but didn't try that so I can't judge. The milk tea was terrible, very standard Milk tea with zero personality, and the boba was very plain which barely any sweetness. The only grace I will give is that I did order the sweetness level to 75% so maybe the 100% is better but overall it wasn't creaming in the slightest, and was soooo watery. The Mi n' Tea Milk Tra gets a sad 1/10 I'm not the biggest matcha fan but I thought the Matcha Cloud Latte was pretty good. Same 75% sweetness but it was still pretty good. I'm not too well versed on matcha so I don't have much to say, overall giving the Matcha Cloud Latte a solid 7/10 The service was good, not the biggest space, very standard cafe, but not much seating. I was really looking forward to the Banh mis but they ended up being Bad and Mid. read more

Oh my gosh, I love this place so much. I immediately said that we needed to bring food from my in-laws from here. I've been on a shrimp sandwich, kick lately, and this place delivered. Besides the shrimp bahn mi, we got a bulgogi beef rice bowl which was flavorful and filling. I thoroughly enjoyed my green Thai tea with full sugar (had a conversation with the staff about it and they described it as a little bitter, so to have full sugar or 75%- definitely the right call) and tapioca bubbles. We will be back! read more

First time trying this place! I always ride by and say that I'm going to stop one day... well today I caught this business on DoorDash having a happy hour special from 2-5pm on select dishes so I got the brown sugar milk tea and fried shrimp banh mi which were both apart of the happy hour special--Loved them both equally I can't say which I liked more. Afford good eats! read more

Mi 'N Tea - Crispy Fried Shrimp sandwich with Brown Sugar Pearl Milk - Vietnamese Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

My partner and I split one tofu Banh Mi (8/10) and each got our own drinks (10/10s!) The sandwiches are a good size, we didn't measure but probably a foot long and stuffed to the brim with yummy tofu and veggies. We each got a build-your-own drink, and while we loved them they were very expensive. It doesn't say on the board, but each add on costs at least 50 cents. Our drinks ended up costing $8 each, which we would not have ordered had we realized that. I recommend ordering one of their menu drinks and making adjustments to that instead. The vibes inside are cute, but doesn't seem like a place that loves to have dine ins. They have a counter top and two tables to eat at. Take-out and delivery seem to be there way of business. Overall, we had a good time, but spent much more money than we wanted to. For one sandwich and two drinks our total was just over $30. We'll be going back but getting the drinks already on the menu!

Mi 'N Tea - (pictured, build-your-own milk tea with black tea, taro, brown sugar, and cold foam) - Vietnamese Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I have been frequently visiting Mi 'N Tea for their classic banh mi. Their service is excellent and staff are always friendly. The establishment is on a smaller scale however they offer a dine-in option with few tables inside. I love that I don't have to go into the center city or Washington Ave for good quality banh mi sandwiches. The only reason for my 4 star review is because their meat cuts have been much thinner than previous cuts. read more

Ordered the crispy fried shrimp and lemon grass pork. Also tried 2 drinks: Purple Daze and Coconut Mango. Total was around $30. Sandwiches were great. I really liked the shrimp. They were plump too, they did not skimp on size. Flavorful and crisp. Aioli really sells it. Only had a bite of the pork one, was also very flavorful. The drinks were lacking however. Not exactly bad but just average, tasted watered down. If you prefer lighter drinks or flavor, it's for you. I like that they had a jug of water for customers to help themselves to. A small shop with about 6 tables. Service was fine, no issues and food came out quick. read more

This spot is located in a very cute area in Philly, right next to my nail salon. It was highly recommended by everyone in the shop. The cashier was very helpful in assisting me with choosing a drink based on my preferences. I ordered the Lychee Mojito, which was really good and refreshing. It wasn't too sweet at all, and I loved how you could control the sweetness level. This will definitely be a stop every time I get my nails done. I'm excited to go back and try more! read more

Still a five-star, now with a few more menu items! Listen, I pretty much still get a banh mi every time I visit (either the classic or the fried shrimp)... I mean, why mess with perfection. However, their rice bowls are a solid addition and have helped me introduce my banh mi hesitant friends to the wonders of Mi 'N Tea. If you haven't given them a shot yet, you now have at least one more reason! read more

This review is mostly on the Bo kho. It did not have the yummy flavor in the broth that I was expecting. Also, the meat was not tender and a little chewy. The banh mi were tasty but could have had a little more fillings. All of the drinks were yummy. Service was good too. read more

Mi 'N Tea - Vietnamese Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Last minute decision to go to Manayunk with the girls... NO REGRETS! Everything was delicious and freshly made. Ordered the Classic and Getting Fancy banh mi and my-oh-my, it was delightful. The bread wasn't too crispy where you would cut the roof off your mouth up. The proportion was just right. Big enough to split one hoagie into 3. We were full. The beef stew was wonderful as well. The beef was nice, tender, and juicy. The broth was packing with lots of flavor... just a hint of sweetness. I, first, ordered a cup. After a sip, I knew I had to get a bowl to go. Went back for seconds (which was a great idea). Service could use a little more friendliness by being more welcoming. The ambience is cute. FYI: this establishment is very small but they were able to utilize the spaces accordingly. Overall, we've enjoyed everything. Looking forward to going back in the near future. read more

Our favorite Banh Mi shop closed down, and my wife wanted Banh Mi, so I went to yelp, and you told me to come here. You weren't wrong... My biggest issue was that I didn't get the best sandwich of the two we ordered. It used to be a universal truth that whatever I ordered was the best item. If I wanted something, but my wife thought it was better, and she ordered it, and I ordered something else or what she was going to get, whatever I got would be the best. I was wrong at Mi 'N Tea. I ordered the Crispy Chicken, which was a great Banh Mi and hit all of the marks, but that Viet Pork Skewer my wife ordered was just so good. The flavors were all there. It was so good, it went from each getting half of a sandwich to here, you can have a few bites. Viet Pork Skewer was cheaper too, but I'm not going to go back to Mi 'N Tea because I just want a banh mi. I'm going to go back to get just that Viet Pork Skewer. We also ordered Taro fries, which had good flavor. All of the food traveled well. I did not go into the establishment as we couldn't find parking, so I sent my wife in. I paid on their site, took care of the tip, and my wife had no issues getting it. read more

the milk tea is so very good but their boba will always be rock hard no matter what time it is lol

I love bubble tea. I might be a tad biased lol but this place is great. It's got something many other bubble tea places done have, actually food. Their menu is great and the fact that you can REALLY customize your bubble tea order is awesome. I didn't get any food this time around but I'm for sure going to come back here and try some eats! The service is great. Your bubble tea comes out pretty quickly. In regards to the food I didn't see many people waiting too long for their orders. I also liked the ambiance cause it gives me small town cafe vibes. Like I can bring my laptop here drink bubble tea, do some work, have a small bite, and chill. Check this place out! read more

Milk tea here is great.. But the customer service needs a lot of work... I first walked in and waited 10 minutes to be helped while the worker was on the phone taking an order and his co workers just stood in the back and watched, very annoying. But I brushed it off, after I ordered I waited anotherr 10 minutes because all the employees decided to stand in a circle and talk to each other while my drink sat on the counter melting. It was only until I walked up they realized I needed my drink. Never wasting my time here again. read more

Bubble tea and banh mi sandwiches here! I got the mango berry bbt which comes with cream foam which was yummy but when the cream gets mixed with the drink it looks weird - still tastes good though. They have a pretty large selection of drinks and different flavors and toppings you can add to it. They have a make your own bbt option also. They have banh mi sandwiches and some other sides you can order. I only got bbt here though. The inside is spacious and seems good for studying tbh (but it was kinda hot in there). Service was fast and I have no negative comments on that. Overall the vibes are chill in there! read more

Great banh mi at a reasonable price. Pretty decent bubble tea! This is my go-to banh mi place in the area, hands down. I've been going here for a while and they have super consistent and affordable banh mi. The traditional one is awesome, but the crispy chicken is to DIE for. Super well-balanced with great crisp and a really smooth, sweet sauce. Bubble tea is nothing to write home about, but I'm also probably not the best judge of it, as I usually don't like sweeter beverages. My fiance really likes the Vietnamese coffee, too! Great indoor and outdoor seating and decorations, friendly service, and a discount for using cash or venmo. read more

Stopped in here for late dinner with the family and was happily surprised both with the quality of the tea and food. When dealing with any foreign food, there is always the argument about authenticity. Frankly, this place is a simple place that made tasty food with good ingredients. Also, having had my share of bubble tea, this places brown sugar milk tea is on par with any Taiwanese chain I have tried. My wife already wants to go back, the next time we are in town. If you are in the area and you enjoy bubble tea or want quick, this is a solid choice. read more

Cute store with friendly staff, a nice setup and variety on their menu. The food sounded good but I only ended up trying a beverage because I just ate lunch. The Purple Daze is taro with green tea and boba. Good value for price but the boba pearls are too soft and taro flavor tasted more on the artificial side. read more

Just returned for the 4th or 5th time since my last visit. Still loving the grilled chicken bowl that is GF (you cannot yet specify on the website or Door Dash that you have food allergies so I just call after I make the order). The rice bowl is consistently good and my husband loves the beef Bulgogi bowl extra spicy. My 8-yr-old happily eats the popcorn chicken and loves the Pinkburst drink with passion mfruit popping bubbles. A go-to staple in our family now for a quick meal or just for bubble tea. You can build your own or follow one of their many amazing options. read more

Small little bubble tea shop that looks considerably larger inside. Service is quick and friendly. I didn't get to try the Banh mi so this will only speak about the drinks. Purple Daze: 3/5 It was ok. Not the worst drink but you can definitely tell that this was powder. That powder taste was a bit too strong in this drink making it less than desirable. Viet Latte: 4/5 Pretty solid viet latte. Not too sweet and satisfy your coffee craving. Overall: Base on the drinks it's an alright place. Hit or miss with the two drinks we got. The Banh mi selection looks appealing so an updated review will be needed when I go back and try it. read more

I absolutely love mi 'n tea! The chicken banh mi never disappoints. Highly recommend!

Met up with some friends today since they've been wanting to give this place a try. I peeked at the menu ahead of time and knew I'd have a hard time making my decisions since pretty much all the sandwiches sounded good. Ended up going with the fried shrimp banh mi and the Thai It All Together drink with bubbles. Sandwich was great! Shrimp seemed freshly fried and a good size. I'm not one for mayo, but I ordered it as is and really enjoyed it. The jalapeno gave it just enough of a kick. The drink was good, though the foam kind of doesn't really incorporate well, so I ended up with quite a bit of foam just sitting there at the end. I really want to go back and try some other sandwiches. read more

Absolutely superb bánh mì and boba tea - I can't recommend this place enough! I tried The Classic and the Crispy Chicken sandwiches along with a Calm Down & Perk Up boba tea. The Classic is easily one of the best bánh mì I've ever had - great bread, phenomenal ingredients, and a well-balanced combination that allowed all flavors got to shine through without one dominating the palate. Maybe more importantly, everything tasted fresh! The Crispy Chicken was an unexpected pleasure - the katsu-style fried chicken breast was absolutely amazing, especially when paired with the pickled carrots and daikon. The Calm Down & Perk up (a mixture of matcha green tea, cream, and coffee foam) was an absolute pleasure - it wasn't too sweet or too strong, and the boba were absolutely perfect. I'd eat here every day if I could! read more

Mi 'N Tea - The Calm Down & Perk Up - Vietnamese Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I had heard this place made excellent bahn mi so I came for exactly that. I ordered the viet pork skewers bahn mi. The bread was fresh and well executed in the baguette style with a crisp exterior and soft chewy crumb. The sandwich had ample pickled vegetables, cilantro, and aioli that complemented the meat well. The pork skewers were seasoned and execute well on the grill, though could have been more charcoal/fire forward. The páte on this sandwich was a little too chunky and flavor dominant. I found it wasn't spread evenly across the bread and distracted at points during the gustatory experience. Overall this spot clearly has a good grasp on bahn mi execution. I will be back to sample other options. read more

Came here on a Covid Sunday. Mi N Tea is an absolute gem who is so organized that pick up is as smooth as anyplace I've been; and all of whom are navigating in the trying era. We had the Lemongrass Banh Mi and the quirkily named Bulgolgi Beef Banh Mi called a Side trip to Korea. These are FRESH. I mean just incredibly fresh veggies mixed with pickled veggies as well. The beef and pork are the stars, the Vietnamese mayo cuts through everything delightfully. We picked up and sat at a shady table and stopped talking, just taking in the mix of flavors on a terrific roll. What a treat. read more

Mi 'N Tea - Vietnamese Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

This place is an excellent and diverse addition to the list of restaurants on Main Street. I feel that options for bubble tea is lacking in this part of Philadelphia, but Mi 'N Tea really fills that void. Pros: - delicious Banh Mi. I have never had Banh Mi before but their foot long sandwiches were very flavorful and satisfying. Very well wrapped and easy to transport. Was not expecting to be charged extra for additional jalapenos. - good portion sizes. one sandwich is more than enough for 1 person. - the bubble tea is amazing. The Jade Elixir tastes amazing. Unfortunately, the bubble tea does not come with tapioca. It is an additional $0.50 for tapioca. - well decorated interior. implemented social distancing measures during the pandemic. - friendly staff - limited outdoor seating. Cons: - the reason why I gave this restaurant 4/5 stars because of the long wait. We placed our orders over the phone and were told that it would be ready in 15 minutes. In reality, it took about 30 minutes to prepare the chicken banh mi. read more

During covid, things have to adapt and they did a great job at moving it to a call in and pick up service. Tables lined up for you to pick up your order. This was the first time we ate here. We got the banh mi with pork and lemon grass. Honestly did not taste the lemon grass at all. Either the order was wrong or they really tried to keep that flavor off the table to make it more palatable to the non ethnic taste buds. We still enjoyed it because the pork was we done and flavorful! Packed with lots of fresh herbs. We also got the taro boba's which was slightly disappointing. It's always hit or miss with taro cause it could be fresh or it could be the powder and this was clearly powder. We enjoyed our food not so much the drink. We wanted to try it out and get out of our home. Unlikely to be back but service was great and friendly. Happy eating! Stay safe and healthy out there everyone. read more

I purchased a groupon from Mi 'N and Tea and was really excited to try the bahn mi. I got the classic bahn mi which comes with cold cut meats, pork pate, mayo, carrots, cucumber, and cilantro. It was a good sandwich for the price I got it for. I also got taro fries with spicy mayo and spicy ketchup. The fries were a little sweet from the sugar and the ketchup wasn't as spicy but I like it overall. As for the drinks, I got the passion fruit sunset. The drink was really good! My favorite of all the items I got! There were so many unique and delicious drinks to select from and I can't wait to try the others. The service was good. The employee was helpful and nice.

A great addition the Main St! No longer a need to drive to Chinatown or West Philly for banh mis! They unfortunately had their grand opening during a global pandemic but they appear to have taken appropriate measures to ensure employee and customer safety. We ordered online (super easy) and went to pick up. I would say we had a small hiccup in our order (order wasn't ready when we arrived, and by the time we got back home we realized we were missing a hoagie so had to go back and wait for it to be made. Basically ended up taking one whole hour just to get our food back home), but the order was easily fixed. As for the food, I am in no way used to paying $9-12 for banh mis, but with the price comes much better quality! Bread is freshly made, meat is nice and chunky, and veggies are fresh! We ordered 4 different banh mis and 3 drinks. Honestly, they were all great, but lemongrass pork was my favorite! We also ordered the Getting Fancy filet mignon, which was quite tender, but since the whole pickup took an hour, it was quite soggy by the time we got to eat it. Will definitely be returning! read more

I first visited Mi 'N Tea for a Yelp event about a year ago, and I thought it was great! When I was in the area for a doctor's appointment last week, I thought it was the perfect time to swing by again for lunch. I ordered: -Thai Sunset: This was thai tea, cream, and cold foam, and it was DELICIOUS. I added boba which in hindsight I don't really think it needed. I usually ask for teas half sweet but it slipped my mind while I was ordering. I actually thought it was great as-is though. It was definitely very sweet and creamy, but it made for a nice treat. -Viet Pork Skewers banh mi: This was another home run. The sandwich is pretty big and I was already getting full after the first half, but I kept eating it until I was done the whole thing because it was so good! When you first unwrap the sandwich, it may look like it doesn't have that much filling, but that's just because the toppings are stuffed inside and the bread has an overhang. If you look at the cross-section you will see there is plenty of goodness inside! -Taro Fries: I love taro and I don't see it available much near me, so it was a no-brainer to add these fries on. They were hot and crisp. One thing I will say is that it seemed like the coating had a little sugar in it which I could have done without, but it was balanced out by dipping in the side of spicy mayo. Note you could also get spicy kethcup instead of mayo if you prefered. Service was great - everyone was really nice and they brought my tea out first while I was waiting for the rest of my order. I definitely recommened Mi 'N Tea and hope to be back soon! read more
