I've lived in the area for quite some time! I finally had a chance to try Toast Mi! We were walking around during the Proctor arts festival and wanted something yummy. A friend of mine suggested Toast Mi. The restaurant sits towards the back beside the back end of Starbucks in Proctor. The restaurant has about 4 to 5 tables, small but plenty of space. Service was really quick. I had just returned from three weeks in Vietnam so seeing that the sandwiches were named after all the cities that we had just visited was pretty fun. I did not enjoy the few banh mi's I tried in Vietnam, mainly because the meat was never really lean. I felt the bánh mì at Toast Mi was probably one of the best that I've ever had. I ordered the one with pork (the Mekong) and asked for no pate. The sandwich is absolutely huge and it was beyond delicious. I would highly recommend! I'll definitely be back! read more

I was in town, dropping my grandson off late on a Sunday and how did craving for a bahn mi, he had somehow never had one. So this place was open and close to his house. I ordered online pick up was fast. The food was decent wasn't great, but it wasn't bad. And to be honest, I probably, would choose somewhere else next time. read more

Had great service and food the past few times I've eaten here. Staff was friendly and conversed, food was amazing!

Toast Mi banh mi makes everyone in my family happy. Meat eater or not you'll surely leave satisfied. My go-to is an imperial (house special) and a taro oreo shake. I could eat here every day! read more

Toast Mi - Vietnamese Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

This might be the best Banh Mi I've ever had, and I think that is primarily because of the house sauce they put on it. Great bread. Well seasoned meat. Crunchy veggies. Give me ten of them! read more

Very cute little shop with a small parking lot in the back. The names of the different barn mi's are all city names. I've only ever tried the Hoi A which is the classic. They don't do the pate but they have their own special mayo which I pretty good. Their bread isn't toasted. Their bread is soft and chewy which gives it a nice texture and saves the roof of your mouth. Tried their Thai tea and it was pretty good with just the right level of sweetness. The service was quick so if you want to grab a quick to go this place would be it. read more

These sandwiches are so aromatic we have to fight off our kitties when eating them at home! Walking into the very sleek and cute Toast Mi is an adventure in savory fragrances! It's around the back so stroll past the corporate nonsense at Sbux and you'll find a real Tacoma gem. And the sandwiches taste as good as they smell! The very sweet staff make every visit lovely as well. I've gotten takeout several times and need to go back soon! I've had the Ha Long Bay (beef), the Sapa (tofu but with the pate... I'm that person), and the Mekong (pork). They were all so good from the properly crackling baguette that sheds shards of crust as you munch, to the savory meats and beautiful sauces, creamy pate, and the super fresh, crisp veggies. This place is not to be missed! read more

Toast Mi - 6. The Halong Bay (Grilled Beef Banh Mi) - Vietnamese Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

The staff is hella rude. Service with a smile doesn't exist here. I was ignored for 5 minutes, several staff just walking past me when I came in to grab my to go order. Meanwhile I'm just looking at my bag with the food on the table. The food isn't so amazing that I'll miss it when I take my money to other businesses with a similar menu and better vibe. It's actually 0/5 stars for me, unfortunately. read more

We got the cold cut sandwich. The sandwich was literally 3/4 carrot & daikon, minimal & thin slices of meat on my sandwich. The middle part of the sandwich was even more carrot & daikon than what I got pictured. It was disappointing, the little layer of pate once I finally reached it towards the end did taste good, I just wish there was more. My sandwich wasn't portioned right or evenly spreaded, I wish there was more meat or thicker slices at least. I paid $27 before tip for 2 cold cut banh mi & crème brûlée coffee. Come for the coffee but the sandwich, I'd skip. The crème brûlée tasted good and the coffee was perfect. I looked at the other reviews on other sandwiches, maybe I came in on a bad day where it was a newer staff since my sandwich structure was just mid. The staff were nice but I wish the sandwich were up to standards. It took me 1/3 into the sandwich to hit the meats, the bread didn't taste fresh either and it was breaking into pieces as I kept eating. The Vietnamese in me know what a good banh mi is, and this was just poorly constructed. Please train the staff again on portion. Every bite was filled with a half inch layer of daikon and carrot. read more

I've tried this place a few times now but for some reason it just doesn't make the mark. I appreciate the menu of different banh mi's but the taste is off. And the grilled pork (most popular) was overly seasoned with what tasted like star anise or something like that. Plus, most of the meat was not charred or cooked how you would get a Vietnamese restaurant. Tastes more premade than cooked then and there. I was going to give them a 3 instead of a 2 since but then I realized when I asked for chopsticks they said they don't have. Whaaaaaaaaat kind of Vietnamese pretending place is this!? Solid two. read more

Went to Toast Mi for the first time in Proctor and this is such a very nice cafe to stop by for authentic Vietnamese sandwiches and bubble tea drink. They have a large variety of drinks from dairy to non dairy. Also a good selection of Vietnamese sandwiches. I ordered the Norte Dame and the Hoi A sandwiches along with a brown sugar milk tea and kumquat fruit tea. The banh mis were very delicious. The bread was crunchy and the fillings were delicious and authentic to the Vietnamese culture. The kumquat fruit tea was delicious. Very refreshing. The brown sugar milk tea is very good too. A strong brown sugar flavor and just the right sweetness. The service was excellent. Quick and very nice. The ambiance of the cafe is very cute and clean. Would definitely come back here and recommend anyone in the area to stop by. read more

I've heard a ton of fantastic things about Toast Mi even for their boba. Unfortunately, I did not share that similar experience. Upon stepping in, the banh mis looked delicious and there was a pleasant smell. I would have ordered food had we not planned to snag dinner later. Instead, we stopped by for some boba after shopping. The boba itself, as a topping, was not good while the drinks were pretty solid. Could easily have been some one off experience with a bad batch of boba but a bad impression to start. Taro Oreo w/ Boba - boba was bad but more on that later. This is an ice blended drink and very dessert like. More taro than Oreo which I enjoy, leaning towards the creamier flavor than sugar. Classic Milk Tea w/ Boba - great milk tea. Strong black tea with milk. Very similar to a traditional house milk tea elsewhere. Dark tea with milk led to a darker appearance. Anyway, my boba was sweet but undercooked. It was hard which ruins the experience. Not sure if it was fresh at all but I'm leaning towards old. read more

Excited to have another spot in Lacey! I had the bahn mi and the sort of bahn mi bowl. I preferred the bowl, it was over rice and had a nice salad on the side. The bahn mi was good was well and big portion. The drinks though were amazing! I got the strawberry cheesecake and maybe went back the next day to get it again. My friend got the taro Oreo which was tasty. I also got a speciality coffee which was delicious. They also have croffles which I haven't tried yet but i definitely recommend checking them out. read more

We had our toddler and dog, so we were looking for a place to grab quick meal. Good thing Toast Mi had 2 tables available outside of the shop. The sandwiches were ready in about 10 minutes. I ordered #4 Hoi An (classic cold cuts) $7.75 and #7 Imperial City (2 choices of meat + a fried egg) $9.75 - I chose grilled pork and grilled beef. Both sandwiches were decent size, one is enough to fill up an adult. I prefer the Imperial City (who doesn't like fried egg on their sandwich right?!) for many reasons - warm, lots of meat, saucy, and a bit coconuty. *Tips* 1. No bathroom inside. The bathroom is outside, shared by multiple business. Code required 2. If you plan to share the sandwich, ask them to cut it in half. read more

Ok we had to try the Bahn Mi. Today we had two Mekong (grilled pork ) and two drinks. One Macha mango and one mango with Boba( 50 cent xtra). Everything came up fairly quick. Drinks first then food. Bahn Mi was good. They did have some kind of sauce on the meat. Not used to that but good. The bread was perfectly crunchy. Then we saw on a smaller menu that had Fresh Rolls. So bf got an order of those. They were huge! Only thing missing was cilantro or mint. The garlic sauce was good but sweeter than we used too. I did sit with my back to the window and I did get a bit chilled. But we ate and didn't linger. It's just big enough inside for 10-15 people. read more

I've heard a lot of good things about Toast Mi and after months of wanting to try for myself, finally did and so disappointed that I didn't come sooner!! Toast Mi is hidden away on 26th and Proctor and located in the plaza with Starbucks but entrance is from the back of the building, so it could easily be missed. The seating inside is limited as the space itself is on the smaller side. Food wise, they have a variety of proteins to choose and you can have it in a bowl with rice and veggies or as a sandwich... I opted for the bowl. They also have fresh made spring rolls and boba on their menu! So, I got the grilled beef bowl, added a fried egg and extra of the cilantro sauce on top. The rice was cooked perfectly and fluffy, the meat was tender and flavorful, the shredded carrots and raffish gave it that extra texture, as did the jalapeños and cilantro. Everything came together and brought the perfect combination of savory but freshness too. The service was great too and as it was first time there, looking over the menu - they were patient with me and helped me decide what to get. I'll definitely be back to try more food items and some boba next time! read more

Toast Mi - Beverage - Vietnamese Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

Wow great food at a great price. We had the Notre Dame and the La Hong Road (I hope I got that right). The former was a Chicken Sub style sandwich and the latter was Beef. Both were incredibly delicious. They both had plenty of meat, an aioli sauce to die for and a selection of veggies on top (daikon radish, I believe, carrot and some cucumber. The flavors were obviously selected to combine in the mouth for a one of a kind taste sensation. I can't wait to return and try a rice bowl or another sandwich. I've added this one to my lunch out rotation. Make sure you try it out! Note: very limited seating so you may want to get it to go. Parking may be difficult if you want to park close. Worth the walk and the calories. Service: excellent Cleanliness: above average Beverages: water (bottled). And several Thai style beverages - no soda products :).

What a great place. My husband and I are new to the area and we were wanting some sort of chicken and rice bowl. When I did a search within yelp Toast Mi came up and boy are we glad it did. We had the chicken bowl, the special bowl (with chicken and pork) and an order of spring rolls. Everything and I mean everything was delicious. I am so glad that we found this place and definitely know we will be regular customers. read more

Service is really bad, was waiting around d for 20 minutes to find out my order had not been started yet even though I saw many others come in, order and get their food first. Staff is unhelpful and would not even look at you. All the order was 2 sandwiches and a coffee and they couldn't even make that in the 20 minutes I was there? Horrible horrible service. read more

Just adding to more great experiences at my favorite Vietnamese sandwich shop. Still have yet to have refer a friend here that did not love the sandwiches here.

Went off business reviews and this is one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. Ordered three, the beef, chicken and the pork. Ate the beef when I got to the car and couldn't stop until it was all gone. Fresh and healthy ingredients. Great taste. Best part was they had all three sandwiches ready in less than 5 minutes. Would definitely recommend. read more

I would choose a 3-3.5 rating I ordered matcha mango with rainbow jelly. It tasted fine. Not very memorable, in my opinion but it did look pretty. I got peach&mango fruit tea with lychee jelly. You can't go wrong with fruit tea! I liked how fresh the mango and lychee jelly tasted. Ordered a Mekong Banh Mi sandwich which tasted good. But it tasted average and nothing really stood out. I liked the aioli sauce they used but wish it had more. The prices for the food seemed a little overpriced. A few friends of mine that went here also mentioned this note. I had said I didn't mind since it's supporting a small local business. Overall my experience and food tasted about average. I always like to check out and support local restaurants. So I'm happy I got a chance to stop by here. read more

such a good bahn mi! i know the Notre Dame is no traditional flavor but i rarely eat red med so this is a perfect option for me, however meat lovers or not i believe it is an option that will be delicious across the board but you do have to like curry flavor. i have not gotten myself to try anything else since this sandwich is the one i think about from time to time and end up going out of my way to satisfy my cravings. i appreciate the notre dsmes balance of flavors ! it's different and the flavors blend so well! the chicken is a curry flavored chicken and has the pickled veggies to cut through and the freshness of the cilantro to lighten it up. they also offer options of getting it as a bowl if you want less carbs or just to change it up. their parking lot is small and always busy as there are other restaurants there and it's a usual place for many especially on lunch breaks however i always manage to find parking. it's probably due to the multiple 15 min stalls they have just for pick ups. if not there is street parking as well. the inside is quite small but there are a few tables if you want to eat in but not good for a larger group setting. read more

I ordered a grilled pork banh mi and a tofu banh mi. Flavors were good enough but not enough to be memorable. I would caution that if you order the tofu banh mi, it's not vegetarian friendly because it includes pate. I ordered the sandwiches as normal because I was not asked what ingredients to include so all the sandwiches included all the available ingredients. It would be nice to have a disclaimer for tofu saying if you want pate, to ask for it... or because it's not claiming to be vegetarian, at least say that tofu/all sandwiches includes all toppings. read more

The grilled pork is pretty good. I would say stick to one meat choice because I did a 2 meat choice and there was no room to eat. Everything spilled and it was kind of messy. The first time I got the milk tea with boba, the drink I would say is decent. Definitely can improve on the tapioca. The tapioca was not chewy enough so I gave it a try again and same thing. Not as chewy as it should be, overall great sandwiches I would definitely order again. read more

Food is amazing. Banh Mi's are my favorite traveling or on the go meal! Definitely you are looking to pick something up quick and have a delicious Banh Mi this is the place! I've been here a few times now and it's worth. I've never tried the rice bowls yet though but can't wait. I would say if you are coming in large groups to sit down and eat, maybe not the best place because of the limited seating. But for something like a Banh Mi, again more of a grab and go type of meal so no biggie. The service was good. No complaints there! :) read more

***4.5 stars*** We ordered a tofu Banh Mi, a double-protein (tofu+beef) salad, a coconut coffee, and a Thai tea, both less sweet. This was placed on their Clover website. Both food and drinks were delicious. The tofu was absolutely amazing, a must try. If I were forced to pick between the tofu and the beef, I'd go with the tofu. The Thai tea was perfect, but the coconut coffee was overly sweet, even with the "less sweet" option. The only downside was they didn't pack us any utensils. When I went back to get one, I found out they didn't have any packaged utensils. It was unsanitary given the COVID situation. read more
