Got a Banh Mi fried chicken sandwich and BBQ chicken lemongrass vermicelli bowl. I thought both were kind of dry. The noodles were stuck together. I asked for no jalepeno on the GrubHub app and they ignored it. The side dressing was also too spicy. Overall it was ok but there are better places like Vietnoms.

If you're craving a solid bánh mì in San Jose, Mommy's Banh Mi is definitely worth a stop. This spot keeps it simple but delivers where it counts. The bread is perfectly toasted--crispy on the outside with that soft, airy inside that makes a great bánh mì. The fillings are fresh and well-balanced, especially the grilled pork which is flavorful without being overpowering. The pickled veggies add just the right tang, and the cilantro and jalapeños bring everything together. Service is quick and friendly, making it an easy grab-and-go option. Prices are reasonable too, especially for the quality and portion size you get. The inside is nice and gives out that great vibe of chill and relaxing mode while enjoying that tasty and delicious bahn mi sandwich. Great ambiance.

Vegetarian Banh Mi
Priyanka M.

I recently tried the vegetarian Banh Mi at Mommy Banh Mi, and overall it was a refreshing experience. The filling really stood out as it felt light, fresh, and packed with crisp veggies, almost like eating a fresh veggie roll in sandwich form. The balance of ingredients made it enjoyable and not too heavy. That said, the bread was a bit of a letdown. It was quite tough and harder to chew than expected, which took away from the overall experience. I'm not sure if it was just an off day, but a softer, crispier baguette would have made a big difference. Overall, great flavors in the filling, but the bread could definitely be improved. I tried vegetarian Banh Mi. And yeah Cilantro alio sauce was too goood.!!

Ordered online ahead of time and picked up during my lunch break. Order was ready and made on time . Walked inside of Mommy's and saw that the restaurant was clean and also full of customers! A good sign. Quality of my sandwich was on point! Ordered the bbq lemongrass chicken with paté. The cilantro sauce was a wonderful complement to the bahn mi. Passion fruit iced tea was crisp , not overly sweet and refreshing. I'll definitely come back and try some of their other food!

Shredded Chicken Vermicelli Noodle Bowl

Updated Review: By far the best Banh Mi and bowls in the Bay Area! If you haven't tried them out, I highly recommend you do. Also, their green sauce is to die for! Don't forget to get extras. The staff members are also extremely nice and helpful.

Vegan Rice Bowl
Neha B.

I love a Banh Mi place that has veggie friendly options. The rice bowl was good and fresh and packed with flavor, but the meat substitute was lacking in flavor and texture. It was more like soggy tofu. I do appreciate they have a vegan fish sauce though, as that is often overlooked in most Vietnamese restaurants when offering a veg option. They do have a great drink selection, including a banana matcha that was great. Good seating inside and easy parking in the deck across the street that had free parking for 2 hours.

Medallion Banh Mi
Jessica T.

I was honestly pretty impressed with the medallion (pork) banh mi at Mommy's Banh Mi. I ordered during lunchtime on a weekday. It took about 15 minutes for the food to be ready, but it was definitely worth the wait. I feel like the meat was seasoned and cooked well, and the portion size was pretty good too. Will definitely be back again!

Food: - The lemongrass chicken Bánh mi was amazing, super flavorful and filling - 10/10 Service: - Super friendly wait staff - 10/10 Ambiance: - Lunch rush is insane here so I do recommend ordering beforehand - Also limited seating because of the rush + the place is kind of small - Nice and well kept place however - 7/10

Twirly fries

I had a delicious lemongrass chicken banh mi with cilantro aioli and twirly fries (with a special fish sauce and green onion). It was the biggest and fullest banh mi I've seen and the chicken was savory and well cooked.

Believe the hype! Visit and (patiently) wait in line to order their lemongrass chicken and Medallion. Those were the family favorites! My husband said it was the most delicious banh mi he's had, and that's saying a LOT since we've got some pretty amazing spots here in San Jose.

Very well kept, and clean interior.

I'm not going to lie, at first I thought $12.95 for a Banh Mi sandwich was too much. After eating my Banh Mi sandwich, I definitely will be back. We all got the BBQ Lemongrass Chicken Banh Mi. The bread was soft, but crusty, how it should be. The vegetables were thinly sliced. The flavors were balanced, and the green sauce (cilantro aioli) was bomb. The staff greets you as soon as you enter, and the counter staff were very happy & friendly while taking our order. The vibe here is relaxed and inviting. A very clean and well taken care of establishment. I would guarantee you will come to the same conclusion, if you visit here.

BBQ Lemongrass Chicken Bnh M And Porchetta Bnh M

I always park in the San Pedro parking garage and always pass by this place, wanting to try it, but never did until now. I regret all the times I passed by and didn't order anything all these times because it's so good! I love how different their menu is, the workers are actually nice and considerate, the place has a decent about of tables, they do offer complimentary 1 oz green sauce but just make sure to let them know, water station is available self served. I split a banh mi with my cousin. We ordered the lemon grass bbq chicken banh mi and the porchetta pork banh mi. It's really flavorful, bread doesn't cut the roof of your mouth which is always a plus. My other cousins is vegan so they ordered a vegan banh mi and vermicelli bowl. The vermicelli bowl looks realllllly good and I want to try it out next time! For someone that loves banh mi, this place will be my go to in San Jose

I feel like it's rare to see a more modern take on Viet food, so this was refreshing! I tried the lemongrass chicken vermicelli bowl, the porchetta bánh mì, and the viet iced coffee--and everything was impressive. Portions were very generous; the vermicelli bowl in particular came with an insane amount of chicken. LOVED the cilantro aioli (even my bf who is the biggest cilantro hater didn't mind it) and the vegan fish sauce was so full of flavor that you'd never know it was vegan. The porchetta (Italian pork belly) offered a wonderful soft, rich contrast to the crisp baguette and fresh, crunchy vegetables. My only wish is that the dishes were served a bit hotter in temperature, but the flavors and textures were excellent overall.

I highly recommend order online in advance as the wait can be about 30-40 minutes. Upon arriving, the inside was packed with people waiting for their orders. I ordered the 6 eggrolls and asked for 3 regular eggrolls and 3 netted eggrolls so that I could try both. The eggrolls come with veggies (lettuce, mint, and cilantro). It also came with pickled veggies and fish sauce. I also ordered 4 of their nem nuong as not every Vietnamese spot offers this type of spring roll. These have grilled pork in them rather than pork and shrimp. It comes with its own sauce which I'm not sure what its made of. The nem nuong were delicious with the grilled pork and there is a crispy component inside, too. They taste fresh and the sauce is tangy. I like the addition of the small chili sauce they give you on the side. The real show stoppers have to be the eggrolls though. They are perfectly crispy and filled with delicious pork filling. The veggies they provide are really fresh and the pickled veggies helps to add more depth. The eggrolls themselves don't feel too heavy or oily either which I really appreciated. The gentleman behind the counter was friendly when I was picking up. Overall, I would definitely recommend this spot and can imagine how their party trays must be a big hit!

The pork and shrimp net egg rolls were perfectly crispy and packed with flavor, and the bánh khọt egg rolls were just as amazing. I loved wrapping everything in the fresh greens they provided, dipping each bite into the fish sauce, and adding a little sriracha for extra kick. Yes, the fish sauce smell lingers on your hands, but it's completely worth it because the flavors are incredible. There's plenty of parking since it's located in a strip mall, which made it easy and convenient to visit. If you love crispy-style egg rolls, I highly recommend this spot. I'll definitely be stopping by every time I'm in the area.

It was a really hot day on a Wednesday when we came by. Inside felt stuffier than outside so we opted to sit outside. We did an early lunch slightly before noon, but even on a weekday there were a lot of other customers. Devin got the #1 Special Rice Roll and I got the #10 Bun Rieu. I was a bit skeptical of getting a hot noodle soup on a hot day, but I figured it'd be great to find a solid bun rieu spot closer to me than my current defaults all the way in Milpitas. The #1 came out first and rather quickly, the #10 took a bit longer but wasn't a long wait by any means. The first thing I noticed was that the plate of add-ins was rather unique, I've never received perilla leaves or banana flowers with my bun rieu before. The broth had great flavor and this soup did come with pork blood cubes. I would definitely come back for the bun rieu. Hot soup noodle soup on a hot day wasn't actually so bad. I tried some of the Special Rice Rolls and felt unsure, maybe it's an acquired taste but I wasn't an immediate fan.

We ordered a large bun Bo hue, a large pho luc lac, fried rice with ribeye cooked medium level (as recommended), Bo luc lac with tomato flavored rice, and a chicken pho ap chao to share amongst 3 adults and 4 kids. Everything we ordered was delicious, tasty, and the portion size were very good and perfect for sharing. I was pleasantly surprised with the pho ap chao, it was really tasty and crispy and a dish I have not tried before. We really enjoyed everything but the Bo luc lac (shaken beef) was super tender and the beef was flavorful! This is a must try in my opinion! This restaurant is clean and tidy and has cute decors of bamboo hats hung from the ceiling and remind me of being back in Vietnam again. Staffs were attentive as customers entered. Plenty of parking spaces in the plaza. I will definitely come back here for everything I tried during my visit and to try more when in the area or on the way back from Santa Cruz. This will also be a great place to grab Togo for picnics or for hiking as well! My kids are already asking to come back to the restaurant after our first time there. So glad to know of another Vietnamese restaurant that has so many yummy dishes in SJ!

The meat is so soft (I ask for medium rare) and it's cooked perfectly. It's super easy to eat and the flavor is so yummy. The red rice has a nice flavor and buttery taste to it. One thing I wanted to note is that I asked for no bell peppers and they cooked the onions perfectly. It's soft and pairs so well. I would definitely not ask for the do chua (carrot and daikon) and just sub it for extra lettuce next time. I'm literally craving the shaken beef plate again omg I gotta go back asap! Next time, I definitely want to dine in and try their other menu items as well :)
