Customer Reviews & Ratings
Hands down my favorite banh mi chain in the area - for classic cold meat banh mis and warm grilled pork ones.
Super quick service and the banh mi here is great. Perfect for a quick breakfast or lunch stop.
Love this place. There's a small parking lot in the back but street parking is abundant. There's 4 outside tables too. Bahn mi here is just as good as the original location. They also take card here. The number 1 special is definitely the best.
First heard about Banh Mi My Tho from a friend who suggested I check it out. However, when time came to give it a shot we would always end up elsewhere for some odd reason. Was driving home from work one day and noticed they had opened up another location nearby my office. Decided to grab some sandwiches for my coworkers on my way in. I opted for the lemongrass pork bang mi which was tasty! I agree this isn't your typical baguette but thought the bread had a nice crunch and an even better bite to it. The lemongrass pork was flavorful and the pickled veggies were perfect. I did order a grilled meatball banh mi to take home but wasn't a huge fan of the meatballs. Will definitely come back for banh mi's especially given that my old go to shop just doesn't taste as good anymore. Also appreciate this isn't cash only biz as I stopped carrying cash post pandemic.
Food - 4/5 Great place for a quick banh mi. I'd say that I like this better than Lee's. Decent selection at a great price. Service - 5/5 Quickly and friendly. Ambiance - 4/5 I think this use to be a walk up Wienerschnitzel that got converted into a walk up banh mi spot. No frills no seats walk and order for quick service.
It's great for the price. Bread can use some improvements. They use house made rolls not French baguette which is fine, but their bread lacks any moisture. It's just dry and flaky. Everything else was great! Iced coffee is crazy strong! Dac Biet deli meats were perfect, no weird smells. Grilled pork marinade makes this place smell heavenly and was my favorite of the proteins. The pickled veggies are on the acidic side so before you dig in, I recommend you try to even out the veggies so each bite has a little bit of everything otherwise, a full mouth of only veggies might be a bit much lol Worth a stop! But I think I prefer banh mi hoa phat on Garfield.
Recently visited Banh Mi My Tho again. I went around 10:00 am on a weekend and there was plenty of parking in their small lot. There wasn't anyone waiting in line, so I was able to order right away. I was really impressed that everything I ordered was ready within 2 minutes. I also requested for all the vegetables to be packaged separately from the banh mi. The ordered the grilled pork banh, meatball skewer, and a Vietnamese coffee. The skewer was not too salty and good. There was a great ratio of vegetable and grilled pork for the banh mi. I never felt like there was too little with every bite. As for the coffee, it was good and very strong.
I've been eating Banh Mi first the last couple weeks. This place has been on my list for a while. The banh mi was I would say decent. I got the special. The meat, pate, vegetables seemed fresh, though they didnt really fill it out. I could tell it was good quality ingredients, but the bread unfortunately was a bit unremarkable. It was dry and almost a little stale for my liking. I feel like the bread should probably be the most important part of any banh mi. score: 6.5/10 for the sandwich. Above average for me but not memorable. I will try the grilled pork or beef next time. They had a lot of familiar vietnamese foods that I wanted to buy. I like that they had grilled meats/vermicelli platters, fried spring rolls, Pandan cake, and also small snacks like the sweet rice crepes and coconut milk rice. 9/10 for great selection. Customer service was fine. They were more matter of fact than friendly, but that didnt bother me. I wasnt unhappy. Banh mi came out in 5 minutes. 7/10. Would I come again? Yes. Would I get something different? Yes. Would I recommend this place? I would because there's something for everyone here.
Banh Mi My Tho is located next door to Freezone Smog Star Station, with its own parking lot in the back and street parking also available. There is also a 30 minute parking spot right out in front as well. Freezone Smog Star Station looks like an old Wienerschnitzel restaurant. You order at the window and wait for your item. There are some tables w/ umbrellas on the side. I came by with my husband and our little girl dog on this past Sunday afternoon, around 2:30 pm. We had one person ahead of us in line. Once we were able to order, we ended up getting: Shrimp & Pork Summer Rolls, $4.56 prior to tax- We ended up ordering 2 sets of these (so that we both didn't have to share). Each order comes with 2 rolls and a side of peanut fish sauce. I liked my spring rolls and so did my husband. The price is fair for an order of 2. Vermicelli Rice Noodle, $6.39 prior to tax- For this portion, the price is actually pretty good. This came with a good amount of pork and a fair share amount of noodles for one person (you could have also picked rice instead of noodle, without an additional charge). My husband enjoyed this meal and would order this again. ----------------------------------- (Total= $17 after tax) Wait time was about 15 minutes. The employee who took our order was very nice and friendly. He also was quick about getting me a cup of water for our dog when we first placed our order. While we ate our food at one of the 4 tables outside, I saw several people walking up to the window and making an order (it seems like most of them were ordering a banh mi). I can see why Banh Mi My Tho is highly rated with 4.5 stars with over 150+ reviews and will definitely come back here again.
