I tried this place today for the first time and have now found a restaurant I’ll become a regular at! I got the grilled pork banh mi and my husband got the grilled chicken. We also shared a steamed bun, and I finished with an iced coffee. First off, the staff were very welcoming and friendly! We received our order quickly and everything was very fresh and flavorful. Highly recommend the strong, sweet iced coffee they offer, as it was the best Vietnamese iced coffee I’ve had! I also appreciated their nice shaded patio area. I already can’t wait to come back!

Pretty good banh mi, I’ve tried the BBQ and the triple pork combo and both tasted great, pork was juicy and there are lots of toppings. The portion size is very generous as well.

It was packed when I walked in here for lunch. Probably about 10 people waiting, but it was such a small area to be crammed into. I ordered the pork sandwich which I enjoyed a lot. I just felt like it was missing the huge flavor profile I have experienced at other Banh Mi restaurants. I will give them a second chance in the future I do not think they were very prepared for how popular the restaurant is. Definitely worth a try.

Kept hearing about this place so I decided to try for lunch. Service was quick and easy. I ordered and my food was ready within a minute or two. The shop is very cute, and it would be a nice place to sit and eat outside on a warm day. I got the grilled chicken— it was very good! Definitely not the best I’ve ever had, but I really enjoyed it. Coffee was delicious. The sandwich was huge, so very good bang for your buck. Will definitely be back!

I had lunch here today with my partner and we both loved it. The toppings were fresh and authentic. My partner had the traditional bánh mì and I had the tofu one—both were excellent. Prices are reasonable, the service was super friendly, and the interior is clean and inviting. Ordering was quick and easy too. Highly recommend if you’re looking for solid Vietnamese sandwiches in Rochester.
