Good banh mi! I had the Mekong (grilled pork) sandwich and it tasted good, except I would sometimes chew and get a crunch in a bad way - like when you end up with a crunchy piece of sand in your mouth when you eat a poorly cleaned clam. That texture was unpleasant but I don't see anyone else bring it up in the reviews...I hope it's a one time thing. I miss a good cold cut, so if I were to go next time, I'd go for the imperial city sandwich and get pork and cold cut in it. I also had the creme brûlée boba (less sweet) and it was phenomenal. They went so hard with the boba. I wasn't expecting the boba to be this good. I usually take like an hour to finish a drink, but it was so good that I couldn't stop myself from drinking until I finished it. read more

I live down the street and my kid likes boba so we're here a lot. I can say with confidence their banh mi and banh mi bowls are delicious and hearty. I'm not a boba fan in general (way too sweet/cloying) so I get the fruit tea. I still find the "less sweet" modification too seeet so today I asked for half of the less sweet version and it was the perfect amount. Still sweet, not syrupy, and I could really taste the jasmine tea. It's a small shop with limited seating but fast and friendly service. Highly recommended if you're in the area and need a quick and delicious bite. read more

Good banh mi! Got the tofu. It's nice if you're in the area. The have boba too. I got a banh mi with a friend egg and it was little over $10. read more

This is my favorite Bahn Mi in Seattle! Bread is toasted perfectly, the sandwich filling is delicious (pork is my personal favorite), they put the most delicious sauce on their sandwich and bowls. Staff is always friendly and very efficient, a great place to stop for a quick grab and go. Boba tea is delicious. I have also had their bahn mi bowl which was also very good, large portion, I was able to save it for a second meal. Whenever I am in greenlake this is my go-to. read more

Came on a Sunday afternoon, and they are relatively busy. Indoor seating is a little limited in terms of tables, but they have plenty of high table counters. Parking is also a little limited as it's in Greenlake area, but should be able to find some sort of street parking. Mekong (pork) 7.5/10, ~$11-12 - pretty good! Inside is basically just pork, cilantro, and the standard radish/carrot mix - the bread is super crispy while also quite soft, super easy to chew and easy to eat. Not like some of the super hard bread that you occasionally find at banh mi shops - pork flavor is great! You can definitely taste the grilled flavor, and their marinade is quite enjoyable as well - only thing I wish was if the sandwich itself was a little larger. Maybe I'm used to eating huge Banh Mi's at other spots, but I felt that this sandwich that I ate was maybe 75% of the standard sandwich size. Anyways, for a lack of size, it makes up with a great flavor. Most people will probably be full from eating the sandwich. Overall: Mostly reasonable prices in the $11-12 range for a sandwich, but $15-16 range for rice bowls. Meat is super flavorful, bread is crispy yet soft, and overall an enjoyable sandwich. Just wish it were a little bigger. read more

Toast Mi Green Lake - Mekong (pork) 7.5/10, ~$11-12 - Vietnamese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

My sister and I were spending the day at Green Lake, then decided to grab lunch at Toast Mi. There are multiple Toast Mi locations scattered across the western side of Washington, but this was both our first time visiting! Ordering is made simple here. There is a self-ordering kiosk inside. At the time, there wasn't an employee working the register to help with ordering. Fortunately, it wasn't busy for them to need to work the register to get customers helped. My sister ordered the Grilled Chicken Bowl and Peach Fruit Tea. I ordered the Grilled Pork Bowl and Crème Brûlée Vietnamese Coffee. The food and drinks were made pretty quickly. We ate inside the restaurant since there was open seating available. The food and drinks were good. However, I felt like the bowl was lacking a bit of flavor. The bowl is essentially a vermicelli bowl, except we both opted for a salad base. I do want to come back and try a banh mi though! read more

I am so happy to have found this spot after yoga for lunch. I ordered the thai tea and imperial special which included my choice of 2 meats, which I picked grilled chicken and pork. The bread was perfectly crispy, as well as the cucumber and picked radish and carrots. It all went together perfectly. The thai tea was also awesome. The meat was moist and cooked well. The inside of this location was so clean and it was easy to find. Parking was not nearby but I was fine with a walk. The service is super friendly and they will eventually have a monitor to place orders too. read more

Great spot for a quick bite Pork banh mi - 4/5, great flavor, lots of pickled veg (the way I like it) Beef bowl - 3.5/5, kind of salty, way too much sauce on the veg (should have asked for dressing on the side) Easy kiosk ordering read more

Such a great spot! I ordered an iced boba tea and it was perfectly balanced -- not too sweet, very refreshing, and you can really taste the quality of the ingredients. The boba itself was fresh and had the perfect chewy texture (not hard or rubbery like in some places). I also loved the presentation -- the cup design is fun and eye-catching, and everything was served nicely. The drink was super refreshing and hit the spot. Service was fast and friendly, and you can tell the staff cares about what they do. I'll definitely be coming back to try more flavors. Highly recommen read more

Toast Mi Green Lake - 1. The Mekong (Grilled Pork Banh Mi) - Vietnamese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I've been here so many times since moving to Green Lake! It's definitely a lunch staple! Bahn mi sandwiches are pretty solid! Drinks are refreshing and service is always friendly and fast! Definitely more of a takeout spot because they don't have a ton of seating inside. read more

The fast service meant that I didn't experience much while I was in and out. However, during my brief interactions with the representatives at Toast Mi, I was impressed by their exceptional personalities and people skills. This made me feel connected to the establishment. For my meal, I ordered the Sapa (sautéed tofu) Banh Mi without mayonnaise or any pork or meat. I found the sandwich to be very tasty; the bread was fresh, and all the ingredients were top-notch. Overall, I would rate the taste and freshness of this dish as 4.7 out of 5. It's a great menu option for those who identify as vegan or vegetarian, but just remember to inform the staff about your dietary preferences before ordering. I look forward to returning for the full experience. read more

Disappointed by this location and the quality, after trying their Lacey location. The coconut coffee is bland and had a weak coffee taste. The grilled pork rice/salad bowl was passable for a fast casual Viet place, but it's the house green sauce that makes it. Service was questionable and slow, with poor communication. The employees were filling orders out of chronological order, and while I waited I noticed they had forgot to filled other's orders before me. read more

After a nice brisk walk in the morning around the lake, my friends and I came here for some boba. Overall, solid tea spot for anyone craving a drink. Things to note: 1. Tea Options: With a wide range of flavors and combinations, definitely recommend trying the: Strawberry Cheesecake, Kumquat & Basil Seeds and Peach tea. All three flavors were refreshing and for me, less sweet option was the perfect amount of sugar I needed for my drink. Didn't get a chance to try the other drinks my friends ordered but were told that it was a tad too sweet on the Taro Oreo and such. 2. Do note if you order no ice, there is an extra charge 3. If you're hungry, there are options to order food like the Viet sandwich banh mi and small things like spring rolls 4. Interior is a little small but definitely a cool spot to hang out with friends or family. 5. For parking, it's only the street read more

Stopped by on a whim. We were in seattle to get warm after being without power for a couple days in Bellevue. Bellevue does not have good banh mi. This spot has excellent banh mi sandwiches. Staff were friendly and helpful. Love that the sandwiches can be customized. I ordered the Mekong without pate and jalapeños (sharing with the kids). Portions are bigger than youd expect. Overall a great experience and we'll definitely be back when we're in the city again. Even better would be for them to open a location in Bellevue. read more

Decent (passable?) Vietnamese food. I got a sandwich with chicken and pork and it was very filling but not memorable outside of that. Bread was just okay- flavors were a little bland. I wouldn't choose to go again given the other great places nearby but I was happy the sandwich was filling. read more

Delicious, reliable banh mi and rice bowls place in Greenlake area. I went here for a quick dinner and opted to order a grilled pork banh mi (mekong) through Grubhub for pickup to use my monthly Grubhub credits and it was reliable, but I recommend ordering directly on their website or go in person for lower prices. A banh mi ordering direct is around $10-11 plus tax, so not the cheapest banh mi, but it is okay price. The banh mi has a good amount of crunch without having a lot of crumbs scattered out, and there is a good amount of toppings to show they really pack the ingredients in the banh mi, but expertly put so that barely any ingredients spill around as I eat. They put a generous amount of daikon and they definitely do not skimp on the meat. I was fairly satiated upon finishing my banh mi, and I would definitely order again if I want to crave something quick and affordable. read more

Really yummy banh mi place! The banh mi had a lot of filling the bread was perfectly soft and toasted. I tried the grilled pork banh mi and the imperial city. I would highly recommend the imperial city since it comes with an egg. Service was good (it's walk up to order) and the interior is spacious and has lots of natural lighting. I also tried the kumquat fruit tea and it was delicious, not too sweet! Great lunch spot in the greenlake area. read more

Good banhmis in a local, centralized area. I often stop by here after finishing a run around the lake. I prefer to get the Mekong (pork banh mi). Bamhmis are ~$10 and rice bowl versions of the sandwiches I think are $12-$13. Only knock on this place would be that they close pretty early (7). read more

I love Bahn Mi sandwiches, so I was excited to try this one. It was a nice size, the bread was really fresh, so I loved that! But the pickles smelled off, and the chicken did not taste or smell very fresh--and the meat was dry too. I wish I could give a stronger review, but overall it wasn't my favorite. Maybe it was just the day I went? read more

Pretty good boba for a restaurant! They only have a few options and when I asked last they can't fix flavors (eg, they have coconut coffee but you can't skip one flavor), and the boba tends to be overcooked unfortunately. The sandwiches are often very toast-y, so expect a big mess from crumbs. Drawbacks notwithstanding, I have gone back and I plan to keep going back. It's really a 3.8 kind of restaurant for me. read more

Stop by here today to grab a sandwich to lunch by the lake. The store is modern looking and there is a kiosk to place order, but since there is no one else in the store, we ordered at the counter. Stuff was friendly and there are about 5~7 tables for indoor seating. We ordered the grilled pork and the house special (we picked grilled pork and chicken). The sandwich was prepared quickly and wrapped nicely in a neat paper bag. The bread is fresh and the ingredients have good flavors. We will be trying the rice and salad bowl next time. read more

Pleasant atmosphere, excellent customer service, and absolutely delicious and reasonably priced food! One of the best for sure in in the Green Lake area! read more

Toast Mi is a cute fast casual banh mi and tea shop in Green Lake, which isn't exactly a "cuisines of the world" neighborhood, so consider it a find. Since I generally have access to lots of excellent Vietnamese food, I wouldn't go out of my way for this shop, but their ingredients are fresh and the rolls are very good. I didn't love my tofu or the excessively drippy sauce on the sandwich, but I appreciated that they checked before automatically adding pate to my purposely vegetarian sandwich. Maybe I just don't love non-meat banh mi... Recommend the kumquat basil seed fruit tea (less sweet version)! read more

The banh mis have gone down in size and quality since they first opened while the price has gone up. It is a solid spot for a quick meal. The brown sugar boba is good despite being overfilled with ice unless you pay extra for less ice. read more

I really want to like this place, it's in such a great location and I've gone here twice. Their banh mi's are decent, but today I tried the grilled pork bowl and was disappointed. I asked for no jalepenos, but they still added it on top. The salad portion was absolutely drenched in the sauce. The meat felt extremely fatty and oily, it didn't feel like the same cut they have at sizzle and crunch, just felt like little bits and pieces thrown together. I couldn't finish the rice at the end of the meal as it was just a mess of oil and dressing making it really soggy. Will not be ordering the bowls again :( read more

Quick service and clean atmosphere. Got the grilled pork Bahn mi. The bread was crunchy in the outside and so soft on the inside. The sandwich didn't feel greasy when eating but the paper bag it came in was drenched in grease which I thought was interesting. The grilled pork is tender and flavorful packing a slight sweet and umami flavor. Lots of pickled radish and carrots, the cucumber wasn't pickled but added a nice crunch. Got the kumquat and basil seed refresher drink as well. Got it less sweet which was perfect to my taste. Not sure if the intention of basil seeds is to make it taste like basil as well but it didn't taste like basil at all, the seeds mostly adds a textural crunch to the drink. read more

First stop after moving to GreenLake! Ordered the #1 Makong Banh Mi and it was delicious. It was my first time trying Banh Mi and it did not disappoint. They also offer fresh boba for only $5. Cafe offered indoor tables and window seating. Forever considered a classic staple for dining in GreenLake! read more

Toast Mi Green Lake - Banh Mi - Vietnamese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Definitely a top 3 bánh mi in the city! Service was quick, ambiance was chill and most importantly: food was delicious. Their pate and bread was delicious but the star of the show is the meat (well portioned btw!) and their house basil aioli that I could pour on everything. My partner really enjoyed his rice bowl too & the friend we were with got a tofu bánh mi (without pate) and still thoroughly enjoyed his selection. I'll def be back and I'd recommend coming here to anyone in search of a great sandwich or bowl. read more

I came here when they first opened in the summer and it quickly became my favorite spot for ban mih. But I just went back last week and it looks like the quality has gone down. The size of the sandwich used to be much bigger and worth it for the price. Now with the new size, it feels overpriced. It was also not made well. Meaning the ingredients were falling apart. It wasn't like this when they first opened. Also, I know this is a casual spot but the space could be cleaner and warmer. It was pretty cold outside and even colder inside. The place is run by kids and maybe that's why they're not keeping it tidy and it's not made with care. Felt like a U Dist spot rather than a spot near Greenlake. I'm disappointed since this was my go-to spot to pick up a sandwich for a picnic. read more

A few of my friends and I came together to have lunch, and we're all Vietnamese so we decided to try out Toast Mi since banh mi was befitting for lunch. Coming inside, it was pretty modern for a typical banh mi shop. They had a sizeable menu. I ended up choosing the Ha Long Bay (grilled beef) sandwich alongside a Vietnamese coffee The sandwich itself was pretty alright. The pickled vegetables seems fresh and were tasty. Beef cooked well, and you can kind of see them cook the meat in the back. The biggest strife I had with this sandwich though was how dripping wet it was after taking a few bites. A lot of juices came falling out onto the paper the banh mi was wrapped in. Other than that a good sandwich. One thing I would definitely not recommend however was the Vietnamese Iced Coffee. It did not taste like your typical Vietnamese coffee at all and instead had a bitter coconut cream taste to it. My friend who had also ordered it was not a huge fan of the Vietnamese coffee but still was able to drink it. For me it just disappointed me so I threw it away. Still willing to come back to Toast Mi to try out other sandwiches and drinks since they're pretty close to where I am currently living, but there are definitely some ups and downs to their food and drinks. read more

Toast Mi Green Lake - Chicken banh mi. Cold and soggy 2. The Notre Dame (Grilled Chicken Banh Mi) - Vietnamese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I came here thinking, "oh another sizzle and crunch vibe" but unfortunately it is nothing close to sizzle and crunch. Vietnamese iced coffee- this was pretty strong which was great, however don't expect it to taste at all like the typical Vietnamese iced coffee you'd get at the Vietnamese restaurants in international district. I ordered the grilled pork bowl- this was honestly pretty boring. The grilled pork had barely any flavor (not enough dank), the pickled veggies were not pickled enough, the aioli sauce did not slap... Nothing in the bowl made me want to go back again. Everything was just too bland for me. Maybe I should've tried the banh mi instead? I do think if you're not too adventurous, this might actually be a solid choice for you, hence why I gave it a 3 star instead of 2. read more

The bahn mis were pretty tasty! I had a tofu bahn mi, which is vegetarian if you remove the pate, and my partner had the pork one. We both liked our sandwiches, though they got a little soggy on our 15 minute commute home. The boba was quite good as well. They were prompt and friendly with the service and the cafe is cute and well lit. There's a few tables to sit and eat at, and it was clean. I was in and out pretty quick for take out and the price was reasonable too. I'd definitely come back! read more

The banh mi was good, packed full of veggies (way more than other places), I had opted for the veggie and pate banh mi and added an egg. The bread was a little too toasted for me, I had crumbs all over and it was pretty embarrassing. The rice bowl was hefty, didn't know it came with a fried egg too. Also got a peach tea with rainbow jelly. Overall, food was tasty. read more

This place is a great option if you're in a pinch! Initially came for the boba and ended up ordering The Mekong (pork) Banh Mi as well! The Banh Mi had a great crunch from the bread, and fantastic flavor from the fillings inside. The Taro Oreo milk tea is great! Definitely reduce the sweetener because it can be quite overpowering. Will definitely be back to try more of the menu! read more
