in the puget sound it's become easy to find a small banh mi shop in almost all towns and cities but…read morewhat isn't easy is finding places that reliably offer good quality food and clean eating areas. sometimes places are more known for takeout rather than eating on the premises but when you're craving a banh mi, lets me honest-----sometimes where you eat it isn't as important as where you bought it and today i found a legit place to put on your radar, if it isn't already. they do banh mi sandwiches and bun vermicelli noodle bowls and it was packed on a tuesday at lunchtime with people who had shown up and ordered on the large screen at the front counter and were waiting for their order's number to be called. i have some favorite places around the seattle area and going to be adding this one to the top of the list for the following reasons: SIZE: this banh mi was so big i couldn't finish it. it's going to become a second meal later today or tomorrow. TASTE/FLAVOR: great, fresh ingredients (pickled carrots and daikon) and yummy marinated tofu that had a sweet kind of sauce on it (maybe it was the mayo?!) the bread was fabulous consistency and crunch. PRICE: for the size and quality, the price was quite reasonable! this is dangerous to know about, considering it's on the peninsula and will help with the cravings when they strike. the only downfall is that parking is difficult. you may need to park a block away and walk since there's only spaces for 3-4 cars in front. while i was there, i literally saw a couple of cars double park to run in and grab their orders so maybe regulars know to expect that. pro tip: do not stand or park between a hungry person and their banh mi order

I was really vacillating between 4 and 5 stars here since my final rating for this place is 4.5/5…read more I'm choosing to rate this 5 stars at the end because of high potential, great staff and hearty food! This indoor restaurant is close to the streets of Rainier Ave and there is unmarked parking all along S Grand St you can utilize, but it can be nearly full like on the Saturday noon around 12:30pm I came here with parents. It is in the same building as the Melody Jabooda Apartments, and is pretty compact inside. There's several small tables inside than can fit a max of 3 people, yet the interior muffles the bulk of the noisy traffic on Rainier Ave. There's some decor on the walls and near the counter where the kitchen is, and the counter to order is almost directly in front of the entrance. Phone reception inside was iffy, as I had to go outside the building to check into here on the Yelp app. Seating was full, mostly from patrons ordering and taking their goods to go but with some actually dining in. For a place that serves banh mi, they also have pho, bun, Vietnamese coffee, lattes and matcha drinks. Several of the drinks are also available in hot formats, and all drinks cost the same except for Vietnamese coffee and lattes which cost $1.95 and $1 less before tax, respectively. There are different price tags for the hot drinks. Banh mi sandwiches also come in bags that look like they could be used for roasted coffee beans - they're dark brown and are about the same size as store-bought coffee bean bags. What a coincidence given they also serve coffee! We got many things from here: - Old school Vietnamese coffee ($7, hot): according to my dad (and me after having several sips), this unfortunately tasted more like American coffee; it was missing sweetened condensed milk to make it more like so, and the coffee itself wasn't strong. It seems regular milk was used as the sweetener instead. - Oolong house blend ($8.95): your standard milk tea. I added both grass jelly and tapioca onto this. Mom liked this and had no complaints; I had a sip and thought it was pretty good too. - Grilled pork banh mi sandwich ($9.95, medium toast): I partially shared this one with my mom. Grilled pork is all right at best, otherwise it has all the works of a great banh mi. We'd still prefer the one from Q Bakery for now. - Butterfly matcha: the butterfly pea flower in this drink created a blue hue inside the drink in its own layer and essentially enhanced the ceremonial matcha taste a lot more, since it tasted more woody and earthier than usual once I mixed everything. It's also sweet enough to satisfy any matcha lover out there. I loved this drink a lot and would highly recommend! - House special banh mi sandwich ($10.95, medium toast): this sandwich is much larger than I expected, and comes with Vietnamese ham, pork ham, pate, jalapeños and what looked like Chinese sausage along with the same works as the grilled pork. Everything went well together and it was loaded! All meats were fresh and just this sandwich alone made me really full. Another high recommend! I really appreciated the staff for asking all the clarifying questions for our banh mi sandwiches and drinks, like how toasted we wanted our sandwiches, the sweetness and ice levels of our drinks, and toppings for those drinks. They also let me and other patrons in line know of wait times for our food, with my order being quoted about 15 minutes and coming out by that timeframe. This place has been open since September of last year, and they have a decked out menu for anyone wanting to grab both food and drink. I'm definitely coming back to try their other drinks and sandwiches!

Q Bakery is my go-to spot whenever I'm craving a good Vietnamese sandwich. It gets really busy, so…read moreI usually call in my order ahead of time. I've been coming here for years and it's still a regular stop for me. My go-to orders are the #20 (shredded chicken) and #21 (BBQ pork): both always hit. I'll usually grab a drink to go with it, and sometimes I can't resist picking up a pastry or two. My husband is a big fan of their beef stew as well. And if you're not in the mood for a sandwich, their loaves of bread alone are worth stopping by for, they're that good. Consistently solid and definitely a staple for me!

Huge fan of their tofu! They serve their fried tofu by the pound with options of plain, lemongrass…read moreand red chili, fried garlic and green chili, and fried onions and ear mushrooms. My favorite is the lemongrass and red chili. It's not spicy, but rather has the fragrance of the pepper. The fried onion and wood ear mushroom has vermicelli noodles embedded in the tofu, making it an interesting texture. The tofu is $5.50/lb, and I always get at least one pound to eat on the way home, and it's great cold or reheated in the air fryer. I also got tofu stuffed with a pork, wood ear and vermicelli noodle mixture. It's good, but the tofu is really the star. There are also rice skin rolls wrapped around the same mixture, as well as a vegetarian option made with tofu. It reminds me of cheung fun but with thinner wrapper and much better flavor. Don't sleep on the freshly made soy milk either. The parking situation here is anxiety-producing though, with a small yet packed lot. The cafe next door has also taken several spots for potted plants and several grills, leaving a squeeze for the carpark.

Stopped by Sun Ta Tofu for their grilled pork Vietnamese sandwich and left feeling like this place…read morehas potential but isn't quite there yet. The flavor was just okay, not bad but nothing that made me want to text my friends about it either. The real letdown was the bread. For a Vietnamese sandwich, the bread is everything, and this one felt stale and lacked that crucial crispiness that makes or breaks a banh mi. It's like getting a burger with a soggy bun, technically still food, but missing the soul of what makes it good. The service was solid and the atmosphere was pleasant enough, but when the foundation of your sandwich game isn't on point, it's hard to overlook. Fix the bread situation and bump up the flavor profile, and this could be a solid spot. Right now though, it's just mediocre with promise. Would I go back? Maybe, but probably not for the sandwich.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

We also bought com tom and my husband said the grilled meat was good and flavorful. We had the banh bao and my son enjoyed. All in all, definitely recommend to go and try this place! Kind people, great good and service was pleasant. Will come back again.

Flavor wise i was left wanting a bit more but I'm a fan of how they don't go overboard with sauces. They cook it to order so this takes 8-10 min! Their drink menu seemed pretty creative as well. I would try that next time! Note that it is a walk up window only! Mine ended up becoming a car snack
