*CASH ONLY ESTABLISHMENT* Thanh Da's banh mi has a delicious garlic aftertaste that differentiates their sandwich from that of other restaurants. I would give them 5/5 stars if they gave more filling, as their classic banh mi is $11. I will definitely be back! read more

One of the few hidden gems of Vietnamese food at 7-8th Avenue Brooklyn. I gave this one added points because it is one of the very very few Vietnamese restaurants that serve authentic Bun Bo Hue in NYC. The price is a bit on the higher end compared to the other local Vietnamese restaurants in the area. Service wise, it is roughly the same. The seating area for this one closes very early so depending on what time you get there, there is no seating so that may affect how you view the restaurant. read more

Got a combo banh mi and was pretty good. The restaurant was pickup/order to go only. Wish it was sit down to try their pho and bbh. That's kind of hard to take out and take home. Other wise, easy spot to pick up for a quick bite. read more

Thanh Da - Combo banh mi - Vietnamese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

One of the best Bahn Mi I have had in NYC. Texture of the bread was flakey on the exterior, plushy inside, however not a hard exterior that would scrape the roof of your mouth. Upon ordering at noon on a Wednesday, I was quoted a 10-15 minute wait for a Bahn Mi. Cash only, affordable Bahn Mi selection. Signature Bahn Mi - typical fixings of pickled carrot, daikon, jalapeno, cucumber, cilantro, vietnamese ham fixings, and a ?tomato/ketchup sauce that paired really well everything and made the bahn mi texture more plushy. If you look at the picture, it seems they hollow out some of the bread to allow for more sandwich add ons to perfect the texture, which is definitely appreciated! Of note, no sit down seating available so this is definitely a takeout spot. read more

Thanh Da - Bahn Mi, Signature - Vietnamese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Thanh Đa is a popular hole-in-the-wall Vietnamese spot for banh mi near 8 Av, Brooklyn. I read many negative reviews about the terrible attitude of the owner, skimpy toppings and how their prices have risen significantly. God knows how nervous I was when I walked into the shop lol. Fortunately I didn't have such poor experience when I went. I was very satisfied with what I got, and the owner and staff weren't rude at all. Just keep in mind they no longer open dine-in area. #1 House Special Banh Mi 清娜麵包 For the house special banh mi, they put together roasted pork, ham, cold cut, pickled carrots and radish and cucumber. The fillings weren't overflowing, but it was sufficient and stuffed till the bottom of the bread roll. The baguette was toasted to a crusty finish on the outside, and a soft dough on the inside. You can ask for jalapeno for extra spice (they forgot to add it to my banh mi tho). $8 for a banh mi is still reasonable to me in this economy, as I can split it into two meals. Banh mi is made to order. It took around 10 mins even I was the only customer in store. ＊Ca Phe Thanh Ða (Thanh Ða Coffee) 清娜咖啡 This Vietnamese coffee was so pleasant. Dark roasted and rich in caffeine as you can taste from the robust and bold flavor. I asked for less sugar and less ice, and it had the perfect level of sweetness. $5 for the iced coffee is slightly steep but I'll still get this again. read more

With the limited options for real Vietnamese food on 8th Ave, I'm thankful one of them is Thanh Da. Now, there's this location and there's Little Thanh Da a couple of minutes away. I can only speak for the Banh Mi, which was wonderful and stuffed. It's made to order and they were so nice. There's no seated dining anymore, so if you're going to order I'd make a night of it. Get a bunch of stuff, bring it back home and enjoy. read more

Good banh mi if you don't wanna go to chinatown! The coffee here is amazing if you love vietnamese iced coffee. The number 1 banh mi is great. Very cheap for brooklyn as it comes to $16 for a sandwich and coffee. read more

I moved to Jersey a few years back and still come here for their Banh Mi's. They just do it right and always hits the spot!

Horrible service! Lady that works the front is rude and doesn't know the first thing about customer service.

I was in the area and wanted some Vietnamese food. The grilled pork was delicious. The noodles were a little hard and difficult to eat, But for the price and portion, this is a pretty good option Vietnamese food in Brooklyn. I don't think they are doing indoor dining, but it's worth trying even without being able to indoor dine! The staff are also very kind and are following COVID measures with masks and hand sanitizer available. read more

Take out restaurant only! Prices listed on Yelp aren't accurate anymore! I tried the Banh Mi Bi sandwich which has shredded pork. Overall, very delicious sandwich with creamy sauce, and makes a great quick meal. Also tried the Suon Bi rice which is pork chop that was well marinated and flavorful. Lastly, tried the Cha Gio Thit Nuon which is grilled pork and spring roll over vermicelli. A decently size portion and delicious as well! Overall, a good take out restaurant with lots of options! read more

Just picked up my food, and this is my very first bad review about a restaurant in my life since I think there should be zero tolerance towards such a business. First, terrible service and unacceptable manner. The man who, I think, is the owner of this restaurant has a very bad attitude. I called to pick up in Cantonese (he asked me in Cantonese first and they are saying in Cantonese at the kitchen), and he kept thinking I needed to order. The funny thing is I went to the restaurant to order food 15 minutes ago, and he was the one to mark my order. A lady behind stepped in and helped clarify the 'conversation,' and he started to blame my voice like I didn't speak clearly and loud. (Then why the lady can understand me at once and you can't?) I turned to speak in English, and then he understood and put all the fault on me as if I did something tremendously wrong. I've never had this kind of disgusting and terrible restaurant service in my entire life, and thank you for teaching me a lesson. Second, low food quality and high price. The price tag is ambiguous and you can barley see the the price tbh. (ofc you can ask but ready to be yelled at. I think this is one of their business strategy maybe?) I ordered a V/N iced coffee, Grilled Pork Chop on Rice, and a small Vietnamese Spring roll. It's total around $28, and it's not expensive if the foods taste good. I don't really care hoe authentic the foods are as long as they taste good. However, it goes exactly opposite, just like the service. The portion is relatively small compared to that price, the pork chop is so oily and salty. The spring roll is normal, even though it's a little bit overcooked. The coffee is good, and I like it. I still feel so bad after getting such a disgusting service and being blamed with no reason as a customer paid to get my food. I strongly agree with other negative comments below, and I should have considered them before stepping in. This experience is a good lesson. I am neither the first to leave dissatisfaction nor the last one to write such a long bad comment. If you read till this end, thank you, and there are way cheaper and way better options around in this neighborhood. Why take this risk? read more

Happen to be around the neighborhood and my husband remember he use to come here to get viet sandwiches in the past. This place is take out only. It is very small. Once we ordered we waited outside. We ordered a total of 4 sandwiches and the wait was about 10 mins. To my surprise the viet sandwich is really good. It is actually ether than any I had before. First off the bread was really crunchy but not dry or hard. It doesn't cut your mouth like other toasted hero bread. The bbq pork was really flavorful with a hint of sweetness. The addition of the deli meat gave the sandwich good texture. The pickled vegetables was also really flavorful. The only thing I picked out was the cilantro because I am not a fan of cilantro. I think the sandwich would have been better spicy with jalapeños but overall great sandwich. We put it in the fridge overnight and re-toasted the bread in a pan and the sandwich was still delicious. read more

I visited Thanh Da for lunch and ordered the #3 banh mi (bbq pork). There is no seating available due to COVID, so it's just take-out only. The staff are friendly enough and the menu is expansive with a lot of variety and fairly inexpensive. Cash only so be sure to bring some with you when you step in. The closest ATM is 2 blocks away. The sandwich was absolutely delicious. The baguette was soft and fluffy, and the fillings were perfectly seasoned. The bbq pork was juicy and flavorful, and the pickled vegetables were crunchy and refreshing. I usually expect jalapeno in my banh mi so I was surprised there wasn't any. I'll try to ask for some next time. Overall a great sandwich, fluffy and crispy baguette with flavorful fillings that they don't skimp on. Would recommend to anyone in the area looking for a tasty banh mi. read more

Great food but the service is lacking a bit. This is our usual viet take out spot when we're in Brooklyn. Their bun Bo hue is really good but can sometimes be really spicy. Portions are huge and their bahn mis are not to be missed! The ladies there can be a little rough around the edges when speaking to customers but it's understandable with the long lines of people. I usually call to order prior to coming otherwise you'll be waiting for awhile for your order especially when it's busy. Street parking only and probably best to have someone sitting in the car while the other grab the food. read more

Ton of food for the price, but most of the dishes were sloppy and didn't really taste like what they should've (even the hyped ones like their bun bo hue)... We did take-out, but I don't think it would've mattered if we dined in (might have been worse actually if you check out the pics- had a smell in there too)... Really, there are much better places to go in this area if you want Vietnamese. read more

This place was very bare bones, it was very simple decor and straightforward service, the portions were big and the prices were cheap. The food: Cha Gio- Vietnamese spring roll. I typically really love Vietnamese spring rolls but the ones here were just OK. The spring roll had a good crunch but didn't like the soft texture inside of the spring roll, I kinda felt like there was taro inside, which was weird to me. Also, the spring rolls came off really greasy. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=1H3YnVdQjP6rpSI__T0Hcg&userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA Pho Dac Biet- Special big bowl. The pho was pretty good but the flavor of the broth was too mild for me. The sliced beef on top was really tender which was nice since other places usually have chewy raw beef. The tendon was disappointing, it was bland and needed to be more cooked more, nothing worse that chewy tendon. The noodles were so so, didn't love the texture of the noodle and the broth needed to be hotter. Overall, I just a so so bowl of pho. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=IbpesJnfG6lcnU0q-WF36A&userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA read more

When I entered, it was around 4 pm. The place was empty as is close to the 7th Ave entrance of the N train station. I ordered the classic banh mi. After ordering, I saw a worker putting the bread in the toaster. The people here could speak Cantonese. Due to COVID, the place only does take-out. Compared to the other special Banh Mi I have eaten, the minced meat is flavorful. read more

Use to be good. Fell off for sure. Just a heads up, you can no longer dine in. They only do take out. Gotta look for a new banh mi place now. Send recs! read more

I've said this numerous times, you can find almost every cuisine in nyc, but man it lacks decent Vietnamese food. If you want good viet food, Texas and California are the place to be, but Thanh Da is decent. Its pricier than what I'm used to for Viet food but the Banh mi is pretty good. It was $6 for a sandwich but, Its crispier than other places I've tried in NYC and the pate is lighter compared to what I've had in the past. The bread is average size. Currently they are opened for take out and limited the number of people that are inside the restaurant. - The owners are friendly and do speak English. - They didn't have Sinh Tố B, when I asked if they had it. read more

I enjoy their Vietnamese sandwiches and their drinks. It's always fresh and made on the spot, def recommend eating it right away. Their Viet ice coffee and salty lemon drink is really good and refreshing for hot summer day. I also tried the pork and spring rolls on vermicelli, I would say its average, def stick to the sandwiches. No spot to sit currently oct covid. Also it takes some time to make, so def call ahead to order before you go there if your in a rush. read more

I normally get their sandwiches, but today I was craving noodles. So I was looking through the menu and the lady was like hurry up and order. Like okay, I understand covid-19 is still going on, I was wearing my mask and I was the only person inside. I'm never going to order from here again. I'm just going to stick with the sandwiches from the 8th location. They are much friendlier. read more

Our family loves Thanh Da and have been loyal patrons for years. My dad frequents their banh-mi take-out service place, Thanh Da II on 57th so often, they know his order by heart. If you happen to stop by here at their original location, I would recommend their banh mis (duh) or their bun bo hue, a vermicelli dish with a spicy and salty beef broth that is flavored with lemongrass, shrimp paste, and chili oil. Of all the bun bo hue's I've tried so far, I prefer Thanh Da's iteration best. The fragrant lemongrass adds a sharp kick to the otherwise intensely savory broth. The restaurant is a little barebones but it's a great neighborhood joint that makes fantastic food! read more

This is the spot where my entire family gets their banh mi. I'm half Vietnamese and you know it's good when grandma approves. We usually get the #1 banh mi that comes with everything and then get the iced coffee with condensed milk. Not only is everything priced fairly, their prices are competitive compared to the banh mi places in chinatown. They only have take out right now but I know pre-covid tbeh had some seating. I wish I lived closer so I could order from here every week, but I'll settle for treating myself every month or so! Note: they only take cash. read more

The sandwich is 5star. Got the best viet sandwhich in new york. The service is 0 star the worst service. Take out must be eaten fresh, i see some people bad mouthing takeouts after probably letting it sit for an hour. That goes with any food. Overall if your in to tasty food. This is the place. As for the service. Its horrible the fact they still in business show how good their food is to off set the service read more

Once upon a time, I gave this place 4/5 stars. That should give you some idea of how badly things must have gone recently for me to drop them down to one. First and foremost, the food is okay. They're known for their sandwiches, so you can skip the pho. That being said, the sandwiches are definitely not what they used to be - not sure where they're cutting their corners. $7 now, compared to $4 in the past. So why am I giving this place 1/5 now? Service. The ladies here can teach a masterclass on being unhelpful, uninterested, and unhappy with life. They'll have you thinking that they're doing you a favor by taking your order - how magnanimous of them! The guy has been alright, but unfortunately he's not who you deal with on the phone. Speaking of the phone, if you've ever tried to call in your order - expect them to ignore your call a few times, then tell you it's a 20-30 minute wait, before hanging up on you before completing your order (reading your order back to you before ending the call, just to make sure? HAH. Wishful thinking). Not that it really matters, because when you show up 20 minutes later anyway, they'll only have half of your order and swear on her mom's grave that that's all you said on the phone. If you want to add on what they missed? OH BOY you'd think it's the end of the world with how they react! Once might have been an outlier, but with a consistent track record of atrocious service, getting food from here just becomes an exercise in taking abuse. read more

Things You Should Do At Thanh Da: 1. Grab some soup. Whether it's pho, bun rieu, bun bo hue, or something else, theirs is solid. And besides the pho, these aren't that easy to find in NYC. That said, they aren't for everyone, so maybe taste someone else's before you get a gigantic bowl yourself. 2. Add condiments. There's fish sauce, soy sauce, lime, sriracha and more out for a reason. I like to add enough chili garlic paste until it makes me sweat, but then nobody wants to talk to me. 3. Grab some banh mi. Roast pork is where it's at, and it's good. 4. Bring a baby with you. It'll make the ice cold ladies behind the counter melt. I watched them open up to the sweet family behind me, and I can only assume it's because of the baby. If it isn't, then it's probably my face, and I don't want it to be my face. Things You Shouldn't Do When You Order A Red Soup Like Bun Rieu: 1. Wear a white shirt. read more

I came to eat with my two babies during lunchtime on a Friday. The waiter was very friendly, offered my babies booster seats and water. I ordered #1 but later I saw the notice on the wall that requiring a minimum order amount of $15 for two customers. The waiter didn't say anything regarding that policy to me when I placed my order. And I am grateful for that because I didn't bring enough cash. We were there for about a hour eating/feeding babies, no one kick us out. The waiter came over a few times to ask my kids if they like the food. A lady from the kitchen came out to say hi too haha It feels very nice to eat in a such friendly and cozy restaurant, my kids had a good time, money well spent. read more

Thanh Da - Vietnamese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

The food here is solid and authentically Vietnamese. The owner speaks English. From the banh mi to the pho to the spring rolls. The food here is good and that's what keep people coming back and tolerate the attitude here. The food here is freshly made and takes longer than most Vietnamese restaurants. They are also very strict here- if you are ordering to go, do not try sitting at the dine in area, you will get yelled at. Trust me I seen it happen. Also do not walk up to the owner because you will get told off. This man was trying to pay and he walked up to the owner and he told him not to walk up to him. Wave him down and he will come to you. Not only are they rude to customers, they are rude to the workers too. The lady taking order for the banh mi yelled at the worker for taking too long to buy limes and she was very loud about it. Smh Spring rolls -4 pieces for $6.25 was very good. The skin was crispy and they put taro inside. It has a light crispy wrapping and the lettuce is fresh. Very good spring rolls. The fish sauce is good. It is slightly sweet with shredded carrots. Pho 25 and pho 26 is practically same. It has rare beed and tendons and the bean sprouts are fresh serve with lime on the side. The soup is good and I do not feel thirsty afterward. Cons- place smells from time to time. Its like a wet dog smell the last time I went and it dissipated cash only attitude for days read more

I've heard amazing things about this Vietnamese restaurant and have been meaning to come here for years. Finally had a chance to come sit down and enjoy a meal here .. but I guess maybe I had such high expectations for this place that I was a little disappointed.. their pho is good, soup base was light .. kinda reminded me of pho in Philadelphia. I got bun rieu which is pretty much shrimp tomato and crab with vermicelli noodles. Wasn't a fan of it here, I think I prefer little Saigon more., they threw bean sprouts in my noodles and I wasn't a fan of that, the soup itself lacked flavor. The BBQ pork Vietnamese sandwich was BOMB though either that or I was really hungry.. but not it was really good Spring rolls were bland and I would not recommend them, we placed our order and it came out one minute later... they're either super efficient or it was ready and waiting (just don't get it.. not good) I took off two stars because first they forgot our drinks.. we placed the order for the drinks and by the time we were done with spring rolls.. Vietnamese sandwich and our noodles it still didn't come.. I mean it's not that hard to make milk tea or soda lemonade ... is it? I would definitely come back for the Vietnamese sandwich here but I would probably pass on everything else. Little Saigon near my house is better read more

Inexpensive home-style Vietnamese food. My parents go to Thanh Da 2 for Banh Mis all the time and love that place. I saw that this one serves a full menu of Vietnamese food as well so I decided to try it out with my girlfriend. We came here to get soup noodles for lunch and ordered some sandwiches to go and were not disappointed. I got the Bun Reiu (#18) which is vermicelli noodles in a tomato based soup. It came with a crab cake that I really enjoyed. I also liked that it came with a lot of meat on soft bone and other ingredients. I was pleased with this dish especially for the price, but I would probably try some of their other soup noodles next time instead. My girlfriend wanted something lighter so she got the seafood in clear noodle soup (#43) which came with 2 shrimps, 2 quail eggs, fish balls, and some ground meat. She enjoyed this as well but she was hoping for some more seafood. It looks like she'll have to try ordering #42 next time which has some squid pieces in it as well from the menu. We also ordered 2 original Banh Mis (#1) to reheat for lunch the next day which came out great. I microwaved both the buns with a cup of water for a couple minutes and then popped it in the oven until it was properly toasted. I would definitely come back to try their other food and get more Banh Mis. read more
