    Combo banh mi
    Mike Y.

    The lady in the front was rude and this is a pathetic excuse for a banh mi. They should be ashamed of her behavior and embarrassed of this product.

    Ordering is simple, request vegan and it can be made. Place is clean & quaint, a respit from the bustling Telegraph Ave. I got the Pagoda (made vegan) and the bread is clearly the star of the show. But the filing collectively delivers in good form. The fresh ingredients, the kick from the jalapenos, amazing. A really good Banh Mi, made as they were intended, with attention to detail.

    Great Banh mi, the quality of bread is fantastic. A consistent go to and service is very good. Ambiance is chill college vibes as well. I've been here many time and have never been even slightly disappointed.

    I was taken aback when 2 orders of banh mi came out to be $30... Honestly was disappointed by the banh mi. The sandwiches were deceivingly smaller than they appeared in pictures... While the ingredients were fresh and the French bread was soft yet toasted just right, it wasn't really stuffed with meats or the stuff you actually cared about enough. Adding on an egg costs you an extra $2.25... like what?! And because they cut your sandwich in half, the egg is only placed on one half of your sandwich, loool. To be fair, at least it looks pleasant and isn't messy, but that's pretty lame that they jack up the price of an egg that much and it doesn't even fit the whole sandwich. :( Additionally, pate is an extra $2, which I could barely taste on mine so that was already a major bummer. Service was minimal - I did takeout. I don't really have a desire to go back after this unfortunately.

    i would always pass by this restaurant when i would walk to class. finally tried it today because i was craving a banh mi and im so happy i did! the bread was perfectly toasted, the chicken was seasoned very well (perfectly salty), and the amount of vegetables was perfect. if you looked in the website and noticed the interesting ratio of bread to ingredients, don't fret. it's not accurate (i was wary as well). in a good way! filled me up! also the owner was soo nice and welcoming. will definitely be coming back!

    I found this hilarious for some reason.

    Been craving banh mi for some time. Decided to stop by here before our hike. First off, love the name. I always said if I had a bakery, I'd name it Nina's Nom Nom's. Too bad I'm not a morning person. Anyways, I digress. This place serves just banh mi: No pho, no spring rolls, no Thai iced tea, and no restroom. Got The District 3. Forgot to ask about the inspiration for the name but it comes with liver pate and pork loaf (cha). Pretty good sandwich. Not sure if it's because I was pretty hungry by the time we finished hiking, but the banh mi was very satisfying. If I'm ever in the area again for hiking and craving a banh mi sandwich, I know where to go.

    #3 District 3 Classic Combo

    Sucks to write a bad review, but I'd skip this place if you are looking for a good Banh mi. The lady working was nice, but the sandwich was seriously lacking. I spent $25 for two combo sandwiches with extra pate ($2 extra), and the pate was definitely not worth $2. To my surprise there was only one slice of meat, where usually the combo contains multiple types of meat. I understand that times are tough, but they may benefit from investing in upgrading their food to match customer expectations.

    #3 District 3 Classic Combo

    Food: The banh mi was good, but the filling was light, especially for the price. It was mostly bread with a few thin slices of meat. Appropriate to what you'd actually find in Vietnam, but for an American restaurant and for American prices, it's a little small. I would be willing to pay a couple of bucks more for just a little bit more meat and veggies. I believe the price is high since they have to account for the rent located on Telegraph, a busy street. Drinks: We ordered the basil seed drink and lychee tea. They were great. The basil seed drink was sweet with a hint of that signature herbal aroma. The lychee tea was refreshing, and it comes with one lychee; not too sweet from the lychee, not too bitter from the tea. Very delicious Service: The lady behind the counter was very warm and welcoming, there was a few regulars who came in and created a familiar type of atmosphere. The restaurant itself, I think, may have been undergoing a slight/minor renovation as there were some boxes of stuff out, but not in the way of the seating. They have a couple of tables that could accommodate a couple of groups of a few people but not a lot for a big party.

    The pagoda - tofu and iced lychee tea
    Sydney J.

    I had the pagoda sandwich which is one of their vegetarian options, containing tofu. I think the lemongrass flavor could stand to be even stronger but otherwise it was decent. There's not a lot of banh mi places in that small area (south side of UC Berkeley campus on Telegraph) but it's likely cheaper to go somewhere else for the same size of banh mi. The lychee iced tea was also decent, it didn't really stand out to me but wasn't too bitter or too sweet for my liking.

    Being college students With limited time in our busy schedules, getting food for in our system is often neglected or under prioritized. But having a cheap solid sandwhich place like nom nom bahn mi close by really changes that. Being able to order via snackpass or in person, the wait was virtually nothing. The sandwhich quality was decent. although I feel like it is really hard to mess up a bahn mi sandwhich, I do feel like they could have put in a bit more meat. While the price was a far cry from what I am used to in the san gabriel valley, I am glad it is still below neighboring shops to give students a quick and affordable option. Also the nom nom bahn mi logo is kinda cool

    The Telegraph Cheese, add grilled chicken
    Tiffany Y.

    I loove the banh mi here (specifically the Telegraph cheese with grilled chicken). The bread always tastes fresh, and they also have some unique banh mi options that I haven't seen elsewhere. They offer vegan and vegetarian options too. I always order the Telegraph Cheese (cream cheese banh mi) and add grilled chicken (+$1.75). The cream cheese adds a nice creamy texture to the sandwich, and it's delicious. I thought it sounded weird until I tried it myself. Their lemonade is so good too, but they put LOTS of ice. I've also tried the District 3 classic combo & highlands beef - these were just ok. Overall, I love the Telegraph Cheese banh mi. The banh mi I get here costs $9. Not the cheapest banh mi in the area (ba le is only $4), but definitely still yummy and a great choice for unique banh mi's.

    District 3 - classic combo
    Lucy D.

    We dropped by the place on a weekday for lunch and was surprised by how cute the interior decor was for the place. Photos of Vietnamese daily life hung around the area, with wood accent walls gives a hint of modern and traditional mix. I ordered the District 3 - classic combo. Upon first biting into the Bahn Mi, I was immediately overwhelmed with the pickled carrots. And there was a lot of carrots, like ALOT. Interestingly, they were not pickled in the way I'm used to, less vinegary and much more sweet. The pork loaf had a good bite to it and the pate was creamy and smooth. Overall, the Bahn Mi was dryer than I preferred. Maybe more mayo and pate? Bread was tad bit dry and hard, but could've been due to take out. Lychee tea was refreshing. Strong lychee flavour in aromatic black tea, perfect pairing to the bahn mi. I'm hesitant to try any other Banh mi since it is not my preferred style. But very cute shop and friendly service!

    Awesome. I had a large order for our event and everything was great especially for our vegetarians, vegans and gluten free attendees.
