Wow. Got to Chapel Hill and was not sure what I wanted to eat. Then I saw Paris Banh Mi and figured I'd give it a try with these places all over the country I knew it had to be good. Wow they were so fast and so polite. The place was beautifully decorated and well lit. But the food. Yummy. If you are in neighborhood please do yourself a favor and try Paris Banh Mi read more

We wanted a sandwich for lunch and this was the place we chose since we were in Chapel Hill for the afternoon. I wanted a "traditional" Banh Mi and the helpful girl at the resister recommended the number 1 sandwich so that's what I got. The bread was super crispy. Lots of raw veggies. It was an OK sandwich. Next time maybe I'll try a noodle dish ? Seating was kinda odd. We say belly up to the windows. There are 2 restrooms and they are both marked for BOTH genders. Putting the seat down in a public restroom is not my favorite thing to do. read more

I quite liked Paris bahn mi! It's a newer spot in town when I visited and their inferior is so beautiful! I was intrigued by the vegetarian bahn mi option so I was excited to try it. It was my first time trying a soy based bahn mi and I quite liked it! It had a decent proportion of meat and it was quite tasty. The portion size was perfect for dinner. The service was not as quick as I hoped for a mostly empty restaurant, but it came out without too long of a wait. Plenty of seating and parking available nearby. I would come back and have it again. read more

I have mixed feelings! I enjoyed the food! I would have enjoyed it more with more information. I chose the noodle bowl and. It was tasty, but very different than I expected. It would have been helpfull to have more details describing the content . I thought it was a noodle soup but it was a salad . I have had ban mi before, so I was surprised that the menu was lacking in presentati It is a lovely place, the prices were reasonable. My friend had the barbeque sandwhich on a nice crusty bread roll, and both enjoyed a small pasty, read more

The food and drinks were really good. The cashier was super helpful and nice. The only reason I docked some stars is it seems like either someone in the kitchen or the manager was yelling at the cashier very loud and we felt so bad for the cashier as she seems like she was trying to deseclate and be nice but the other worker/manager was a bit harsh and just would not stop. I heard the yelling from the dining area and from the bathroom. It seems like it was from a manager due to how I heard the conversation which is kind of upsetting that they would treat their cashiers like that. I don't know the whole situation but it did kind of ruin the dining experience. Especially since the cashier helped us and was so nice so I hated seeing them be yelled out. read more

Cute little spot for lunch today. It's boiling outside, but it was cool and calm in this bright, pretty restaurant. Bahn Mis are their specialty, but they have a lot of other offerings, too, including croissants, noodle bowls, and rice bowls. My shredded chicken noodle bowl was quite good! It had lots of marinated chicken, rice noodles and vegetables. It was the perfect cool lunch for a hot day! My friend very much enjoyed his chicken bahn mi with crispy fries on the side. The service was friendly, and the food came out fairly quickly. Seating was odd, though. there are only three tables (each had a combination of booth seating and chairs), the rest were bar stools. The chairs and stools could have been more comfortable, and it was difficult to slide behind the table to sit in the booths. read more

Delicious bahn mi at a solid price point for Durham ($8-9). The bread was crusty on the outside, nice and soft on the inside. I got the classic, with a flavorful pate and crunchy picked veggies. Counter service from cheerful staff in a cutely decorated spot. read more

Such a cute little spot in Chapel Hill, right near UNC They have cheesecakes, macarons, Korean hot dogs, a variety of teas and much more on the menu. You can order at their kiosk or directly at the counter, and the service is super fast and polite. I tried the coconut milk tea with matcha cheese foam and honestly it was perfect as-is, didn't even need extra sugar. The vibe is really nice too. You can find cozy, more private seating if you just want to relax, or it's also a great spot for students to study or get some work done. Definitely one of those places you can hang out for a while without feeling rushed ツ read more

I enjoyed Paris Banh Mi at the Cary restaurant and am sad that it closed. This location did not disappoint! The Cary location had a smaller menu too - my friend is not much of a sandwich person and they got a noodle bowl which was not available in Cary. I got a chicken Banh Mi and my first impression was that it was smaller than what I would get in Cary but still a good serving size. I would regularly use three little cups of sriracha in Cary but I only used two in Chapel Hill. I asked for no cucumbers (check!) and extra jalapenos... I was talking with my friend during lunch so I honestly can't say there were any jalapenos at all. Perhaps they misunderstood and held both?? Even still, best Banh Mi in the area!! Seriously! I also got regular fries with lemon pepper seasoning. I was pleasantly surprised that the lemon pepper seasoning came on the side in a little cup. I did use a little but I figure the fries already had salt, the seasoning had even more, and I like to go easy on salt. The fries themselves were a highlight! Nice and crispy, just the way I like them! And very good serving size too! I appreciate the thought and originality that went into their seating in the dining area but it really doesn't work for everyone. Half of the seating is probably more suited for drinks... I guess that's popular with some people but the drinks are not why I come to this restaurant. I've never had anything except water at Paris Banh Mi. Let's just say their seating is not comfortable for a big boy like me. They should reconsider their seating. They have an epic array of decadent treats and desserts but I was a good boy and just "ate" them with my phone to show off what they have. Honestly, looking over the photos and adding captions, Hot Chocolate Cheesecake "speaks to me" the most - I'm a cheesecake boy and I love spicy food. Maybe some day! read more

Nice and very clean upscale looking atmosphere for a Vietnamese sandwich and bakery shop. Friendly staff. You can order off a kiosk or at the counter. Their sandwich prices are reasonable. They have complimentary water beside the sauce station (5 sauces) with cups, napkins and utensils. I came for lunch and ordered B7 the pate and pork BBQ bánh mì. The baguette was very crunchy and stiff. It was a good tasting sandwich with their house sauce, jalapeños, cucumbers, and pickled daikon and carrots with a bit of cilantro. I got the sweet chili and Sriracha sauce to spice it up a bit. While not the best bánh mì sandwich I've ever had. I would recommend this place because it was good and was helped by the reasonable price. Probably closer to a 3.5 but I'll give it a 4. read more

We stopped because the restaurant was convenient. The food was terrific! It compared favorably to food we had in Vietnam. My husband had a Bahn Mi sandwich and I had grilled pork on a croissant.Everything was fresh and made to order. The restaurant itself has an upscale decor. I couldnt' resist their pastries and go a slice of their Dubai chocolate cake. I don't usually recommend restaurants because i attended cooking school in France and have high standards, but this restaurant had great food. read more

Bahn Mi may be my favorite sandwich ever, so more than excited that PBM now has a location in Chapel Hill. Popped in when they opened early on a Sunday morning. Sandwiches still made with large baguettes, lots of pork, the carrot, radish, jalapeño and cilantro fresh. Menu features other items such as corn dogs and pastries, but I'll stick with the bahn mi. read more

Stopped in for an early takeout lunch. The indoor decor was beautiful. We ordered two sandwiches (pork, vegetarian/tofu) as well as a Paris milk tea. We also indulged in a turtle cheesecake. Despite the food having to sit for a while before we got a chance to enjoy it, everything was delicious. The banh mi were a good size for the price. The pork was very flavorful and the daikon pickles plentiful. The tofu banh mi did not look like what was pictured on the ordering kiosk (at first thought they'd made an error and given us another meat sandwich), but it was tasty although less flavorful than the pork. Baguette was dense and crispy, but would have wished for a bit more cilantro and/or picked carrots. The cheesecake was just okay, it definitely had a thawed-from-frozen taste to it, but it hit the (verrry) sweet spot. Milk tea with boba pearls was on point but quite sweet even with half-sugar. Overall, enjoyed trying out this new spot! read more

I had never heard of this place before and decided to give it a shot. When I ordered my food not only was it cool looking, it was delicious. The person taking the order was very helpful as I had lots of questions because I was unfamiliar with the type of menu. Everything was clean and it smelled like fresh-baked bread in there. This place is definitely a hit. Thank you! Picture below is the tornado potato. read more

Paris Banh Mi - Tornado Potato - Vietnamese Near Me - Chapel Hill, North Carolina

Fresh food, quick service, clean and bright restaurant. Sandwiches are abundant size and desserts are upscale quality

Banh mi was fresh and tasty. One sandwich is enough for two servings. Staff is friendly and helpful.

Food was great, boba was not. Was gritty and not sweet enough. Food was all great though, highly recommend for the food

Popped in for lunch from Raleigh. I've eaten at other Paris Banh Mi locations in other states and was very excited to see it open here. The decor is cute and modern, but the food is still a work in progress here at this location. I got the special and grilled pork banh mi sandwiches. They were pretty good, better than what you normally find in the area. Bread was good sized but lacked the crisp that only the best banh mis have. Veggies were tasty but cut too thick. The pate on the special sandwich had amazing flavor, almost the best I've ever tasted. Overall a solid sandwich but not as great as I've had at other franchise locations. Skip the popcorn chicken. They were just a plain store bought Italian chicken tender. Very disappointing. No classic popcorn chk flavor nor crunchy exterior. Do yourself a favor and walk down a few doors to Quickly for your popcorn chicken fix. read more

I had high hopes for this restaurant. I lived in Houston for many years and there were many wonderful Vietnamese restaurants. I've tried two meals here and they were both very disappointing. Most recently I tried the spring rolls. The rolls themselves were alright but the peanut sauce was horrible. Basically it was just a peanut paste with a few flakes of red pepper. Boring! Tasteless. I had a sandwich there and it was not much better than average. Hope that they will make some changes. Not really worth the money. read more

The bahn mi was okay. Not as good as other places in North Carolina but likely the best in Chapel Hill. The ice cream offerings were good but wish they wouldn't put them in a takeout bag with hot food. The k dogs don't travel well so eat them on site. Most disappointing was the combination noodle bowl. The pork was fine but I had to add my own nuoc Cham to have the flavor of fish sauce or spice. It's like it's been diluted for Americans. Was looking forward to good Vietnamese bowl. I'll probably try a couple other things and get the special ice creams for my kid occasionally still. read more

If you haven't tried Paris Banh Mi yet, please do. I have tried the Bahn Mi and a pork noodle bowl. I highly recommend both. Bahn Mi is the best I've had in the area. The owners are extremely nice - would like to see the succeed. Also, great location and parking in Meadowmont. read more

Sandwich was so good I dreamed of it ... lol went back again!! Almost camped out until they opened. They should offer a coupon punch thing for customers who buy five get next free read more

Lovely place with friendly service and a variety of foods and drinks. We loved the Vietnamese sandwiches and enjoyed their Korean corndogs. They also have really good cheesecakes We'll have to go back again to try something new. read more

Super cute and cool place. Really interesting food. The egg waffle with ube frozen custard was dynamite.

DO NOT EAT HERE. Went here to try the place out. The drinks tasted off, and me and a friend both got sick shortly after. They don't prepare the food properly. The staff is also quite unfriendly. EDIT: Owner has claimed I'm not real. Both this and the review on Google are real. Beware positive reviews as they're likely fake. This place does not handle food well and you risk food poisoning eating here. read more

Very comfy and clean place to hang out with my friends while enjoying delicious sandwiches and drinks. The internet is serving me well when I need to do some works on my computer. My favorite order is grilled pork sandwich top with green pepper, fresh cinlatro and a touch of spicy sauce enough to make my day! read more

Just terrible. Very little filling in the sandwich except for the daikon radish. Everything seemed to be exactly cut and proportioned and no real flavor. I was very disappointed in everything we tried including the Ube cheesecake and the ricotta cake. Just very bland. Prefer the flavor at Gossip. Much more authentic flavors. read more

Just when I thought it could not get better, I had the BURGER SHREDDED CHICKEN. I mean, OMG! Try this first when you visit. I'm not sure who made that sandwich, but they need a raise. This is by far my new favorite. read more

Been here three times already and it's the most authentic banh mi in the Triangle! Bread is fresh baked on site and the fillings are legitimate Vietnamese banh mi offerings. read more

Incredible!! Quick, friendly service with a digital and in person ordering option. The ambiance is great with awesome decor, and seating made to maximize privacy unlike most other similar restaurants. They had booth, table, chair, and hightop/single seaters. The food was priced well, about $8 for most handhelds. The ground beef/pork patty (C3) was to DIE for! The butter mayo on the croissant was delicious. I also ordered a corn dog but saved it for later since the C3 was so filling. My mom had one of the "B" options, and while it was good, the C was much better. I also ordered a custard matcha latte that seemed straight out of instagram. Latte on the bottom, custard on the top. The total without the drink was around $22, and the drink was an additional $8, which is pretty cheap for quality matcha drinks with that much ingredient in them (it was more than just a dash of matcha, rather a healthy scoop). Totally recommend and will be returning! read more
