Grabbed takeout from here and WOW. The pork roll was so so so good. The baguette was crisp and it had the perfect ratio of meat to vegetables. There's some lovely tea options as well, but the banh mi is the standout. This... might be the best Banh mi I've ever had? It's that great. read more

This is my top spot for vietnamese bahn mi in the entire NYC area. Even though it is a bit inconvenient to travel to this place, I still do it because it is that damn good and affordable! I always buy 2-3 bahn mi's everytime I visit. I also highly recommend their iced viet coffee. I usually ordered #8 (Grilled Pork) which is extremely delicious and full of flavors (grilled pork, cilantro, shredded pickled carrots & radish, mayo & peanut pieces in it). The baguette was so soft and crunchy. Highly recommended! read more

Was in the mood for Bahn mi sandwiches so gave this place a try due to the high ratings. Well I was impressed by the speed and the efficiency of the order takers to remember the orders. There was a full line and the two women had no difficulties at all with fulfilling the orders. The place is take out only and no seating. My friend and I ordered several sandwiches and drinks each because we were buying enough to bring home to our families. The specialty drinks came out fast and were very tasty. Highly recommend this place for a fast take out. read more

I have my go to Vietnamese sandwich spot around 8th Ave but I wanted to give this place a try this time. I ordered the #1 combination banh mi ($6.50) and hands down they've got the best Vietnamese baguette but was lacking with the ingredients though flavor was good. I loved that the bread was freshly toasted which had a crispy thin crust yet soft and airy interior. I also asked for the sandwich to be spicy but it was not spicy at all and came with a red sauce that tasted like ketchup. Overall, the bread was amazing but the sandwich was just okay. I may be back to try their other Vietnamese eats but the location is a bit out of the way for me. FYI it's cash only. read more

i've been wanting to try this bahn mi place for the longest time because i've heard so many good things about it! it's definitely good like people say, and i can likely see myself coming back in the future! - notes - only cash payments and takeout only! - overall experience - i came by on a friday afternoon at around 12:30 pm and there was a short line of people waiting to order. since their orders were relatively long, i had to wait around 5 minutes to order and then another 10 minutes for my banh mis. the workers are efficient at their jobs though, and friendly as well! - recommendations - highly recommend that you must try their banh mi pate thit nguoi (combination #1)! 6/17/22 -banh mi pate thit nguoi: this is probably one of their most popular sandwiches; it has ham, pork roll, pork teriyaki & bbq, pate, butter, cilantro, and pickled carrots inside. i really loved how the baguette was crispy and crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside, which makes for a super satisfying bite! the portion of meat is generous for ~$7, since the sandwich was pretty large. each bite had tons of flavor and i can really tell why people love the banh mi so much! since i just personally wasn't the biggest fan of the cold-cut meats, i'll probably just get the grilled pork banh mi the next time i come by.

One of my favorite gems in Sunset Park! The banh mi's here are soooo delicious and filling. My boyfriend and I come here at least twice a month because it's really THAT good! We always get the #1. The bread is perfectly toasted with the right amount of crunch.The Vietnamese iced coffee is also solid. It's worth checking this place out if you're ever around in the neighborhood. It's a local favorite! read more

And we have a new Banh Mi winner! So my friend Cynthia D has been eating these things since she popped out and has raved at how amazing they were, I had to see it to believe it. The place itself is very bare bones but the sandwiches are excellent, cheap and the lady's behind the counter are friendly. Five stars for me! The food: Ice Coffee- I love Viet ice coffee and the one here was excellent. The Viet coffee has the perfect balance of bitter and sweet, I say it's the best Viet iced coffee I ever had. This is the perfect thing to drink with the banh mi. #1 Banh Mi Pate Thit Nguoi- Ham, head cheese, pork roll, pork teriyaki & BBQ w/ pate & butter. Hands down the best banh mi I ever had, this officially set the banh mi bar for me. I really loved the bread which gets delivered to the restaurant and the cold cuts were super flavorful. The bread is nicely toasted and is so wonderfully crunchy on the outside yet nice and fluffy on the inside. I also loved the flavor of their pate and I loved how it was literally in every single bite, they did not skimp on the pate. As much as I loved the sandwich, I did find it to be a tad sweet but regardless, an excellent sandwich none the less. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=qKrwcBctccrPl8E6OkHhxg&userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA Avocado Shake- It's weird how much the shake changed in flavor from when I first got it and when I waited a few minutes till the shake melted a little. When I tried it when it was just made, the flavors were just OK but the soy milk was too much and there wasn't really a pronounced avocado flavor. I was also not a fan of the feeling it left in my mouth, it kinda felt gummy. I waited a few minutes and it tasted very different and it was actually pretty good. If you let it sit out, the flavors have a chance to meld together and there is noticeably less ice crystals and there is no gummy aftertaste. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=IjGH0Z8UfSXHHl7Z-nk3_w&userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA read more

My favorite go to viet spot. You should definitely try their shakes. Their avocado and the durian shake is my favorite. I love how they use fresh ingredients and fruits instead of powder for their shakes. Bread is also on point. All their bread is my favorite. When in doubt, go for the classic viet sandwich! Will not disappoint! Their soup noodles are good too! Everything in here taste very yummy! Just give this place a try and you won't regret it! read more

I have been coming here for years but this is the first time I've gotten their bahn mi during the pandemic. Their prices have increased during the pandemic but it is still 100% worth it. The sandwiches are packed with pickled veggies, cucumbers, and a lot of meat. You have the option of making it spicy which they do by adding jalapenos. A perfect blend of carbs, vegetables, and meat in one meal. I also like their coffee. read more

As authentic as banh mi's can be. No nonsense in service/ambiance, just let the delicious food speak for them

Oh my gosh. I love this place. I knew it has been around but it quite far for me to get food here. It's walkable though. The thing I love is shredded pork. Oh my. They have shredded pork on rice which is a huge win win. Portions were huge. I was so stuffed after have the lunch box. Great pickled veggies, huge portion of grilled pork and shredded pork. I also ordered 3 number ones and spicy. The meat is quite flavorful and I enjoyed the amount of jalapeños they put inside. I also grabbed some snack like mini spring rolls, the spicy fried rice cake and cassava cake. Everything was delicious. I totally recommend going here. read more

First meal in the new hood and it was perfect. This sweet little shop has some very tasty banh mi sandwiches. Grabbed the Pate Thit #1 and Meatball #4. These babies are bigger and cheaper than anywhere else in Brooklyn. Ingredients are fresh and the French bread is light and crusty. Huge selection of cold & hot drinks as well and a great staff. Protip: grab a single pork spring roll from the hot fridge while you wait. read more

Sunset Park hole in the wall that has had a long run. Excellent sandwiches, perfect ratio of veggies to meat and great bread. Quick service.

Ba Xuyen's banh mi sandwiches are excellent and always hits the spot! I was raised in Brooklyn and this place is on my regular rotation of food choices till this day! For almost 9 years, this place is still standing strong and proud. #1 Combination. Pure perfection! I dare to say, this is the best banh mi I ever had. This traditional banh mi comes with slices of ham, head cheese, pork roll, pork teriyaki, barbecue with pate and butter on the lightest and softest french baguette (my favorite part about it) and topped with fresh cilantro, cucumber, and pickled carrots and daikon. Vietnamese Coffee. Probably the best drink to go with the banh mi! Get it! read more

Stopped inside to grab a banh mi and an avacado shake for a late lunch. Place was pretty busy and the ladies behind the counter was working at full speed. Good didn't take long at all and it's cash only. If you like viet coffee, this place serve really good coffee, cold and hot. I wanted to try the avacado shake bc I've never had it before so why not. I didn't really like it but then again I'm not like a big fan of avacado to begin with so if you're an avacado fan, you'll love this shake. It's really smooth and you can taste the avacado right away. As for the banh mi, I ordered #1 and #8. They were awesome, fresh and crunchy. I was only able to finish half tho bc it's a huge sandwich for 7 bucks. I will be back! read more

It's a hot and sticky August day, and I'm sweating profusely as I struggle to climb the hill that will take me from 4th Avenue to 8th Avenue in Brooklyn. That's where my final destination is: a heavenly banh mi awaits, just a few blocks away! I really enjoy biking all the way to Sunset Park, but the heat today is really unbearable! As I turn right on 7th Avenue, I am now biking along the public pool. I am tempted to jump in the pool, bike and all. I am sure that must feel great! No no no! Stay focused, Matteo! C'mon, man; you're almost there! Finally, I make it to Ba Xuyen! I am melting; I need a banh mi and I need a drink. Probably in the reverse order. A beer would be perfect, but I settle for a Chan Muoi Da ($1.75) ice pickled lemon. I've never tried it before, but it's quite tasty: refreshing and... well, pickly[1]. Now: the banh mi! When it comes to banh mi, it's all about the layers: the different ingredients, their complexity and texture, and how well they mix together to create new contrasts. Ba Xuyen certainly delivers. I get a Cha Lua ($4) pork banh mi[2], hot. The bread is toasted to perfection in a special mini-oven, and then buttered. The crust is thin and incredibly crunchy. I count 7 slices of rich and fatty (and yummy!) pork. The shredded pickled daikon and carrots are sweet, tart, and crunchy, while cilantro and cucumber provide a screamingly fresh and cooling note. This banh mi comes without pâté, with a delicious, pink sauce that tastes like a cross between mayo and garlic butter. The level of spiciness is pretty good: not as hot as other banh mi, but certainly not the watered down version for whiteys you get at other establishments[3]. I thoroughly enjoyed this banh mi; it's all I could ask for a banh mi. Well, almost: although that pink sauce was good, I think I prefer my banh mi with pâté. Just before leaving, I pack a few extra carbs with a pair of delicious Chan Gio (2 rolls for $1) egg rolls with pork and vegetables. Hey, you don't want me to starve on the way home, right? Besides, I'll burn it all on the ride home. Right? Right...? -------------------------------------------------------------------- [1] Really, it tastes exactly what you would expect pickled lemon to taste like. [2] I think this is item #2 on the menu, and it comes sans pâté. [3] Keep in mind that I like spicy food, so perhaps read more

I love a good Banh Mi viet sandwich and usually get them from the various places that sell them around 8th ave because they don't have any good places in Bensonhurst (that I know of). I was looking for a good place and decided to use the trusty Yelp - I was not disappointed and now I make this out-of-my-entire-way trip to get this sandwich. It is just so delicious and has this really tender, definitely homemade meat and just all around delicious. I can't do spicy so I've never tried it that way, but maybe I will.. Now I just got myself riled up to go get one :) If you like viet sandwiches, you won't be disappointed at Ba Xuyen! read more

I've been here a few times for my banh mi fix and have never been disappointed. It's a small family run restaurant that has never been empty when I visited. I usually get the pork sandwich that hits the spot every time. I always request not to have my bread toasted because I like it soft and not crunchy. Their sandwiches are affordable and fulfilling. They also serve a variety of different drink options. I see some baked items for sale on the counter but have never tried them. This spot is a close 2nd to my favorite Vietnamese spot in Queens, JoJu. The staff are always friendly, fast and helpful. read more

Alright the food is amazing especially the Chicken Thighs Rice Box. My first time trying Banh Mi, it was not bad but very interesting.

This is as good is gets for Banh Mi: $4.50 in a no-frills little place with people serving you that speak no English and barely look at you. Add an Avocado Shake for $3.50 to one of the best Banh Mi you could ever ask for, and you have an incredibly satisfying meal for just $8. I got the Chicken one, which was more flavorful than any other Chicken Banh Mi I've ever had. It was nice and hot, with really crusty and chewy bread, and very neatly packed and composed with all of the great ingredients you would expect. If only this weren't all the way in Borough Park, I would come way more often to try some more of the great-looking sandwiches on the menu. read more

Cash only but so worth it, all sandwiches hit the spot, a must try place if you love bahn mi

After reading so many great reviews like Deanna W. and Samatha P. and drooling over Yvonne W.'s picture of the Ba Xuyen sandwich I had to try this place especially since I practically drive through this neighbor every weekend to visit family in Sunset Park. On Saturday I was timid, I tried the #1. Wow great sandwich (less the "crunchy cloud ears" I get in Queens). On Sunday I had to get two sandwiches, #1 and #3, cause I got my wife hooked. I voted for the #1 and she voted for the #3. We also got the #1 (avocado) and #3 (papaya) smoothie; unique favorite and both are fantastically different for the standard smoothies we were use to. Brooklyn foodies are so lucky to have this place and you can't beat the prices! (But no cloud ears! Yo, What's with that????) read more

I DIED. Forget every Bahn Mi you've ever tasted because it is all obsolete. It all has meant nothing. I think I like this even more than Hanco's (but that is like comparing In-n-out with Shake Shack) THE.BEST.BAHN.MI.I.HAVE.EVER.HAD. Los Angeles, you're done. Your sandwiches are nothing compared to Brooklyn's. The bread was so heavenly fresh, and even dense. You know that moment when bread becomes cooked in the oven, when it goes from raw grayish moist to off white soft yet STILL moist? They got that point to the nearest second. It was the best baguette for bahn mi i've ever had. ****Had the #1 PATE (pate, ham, BBQ pork roll) and #8 GRILLED PORK - UFFF, the feeling I got from the first bite. Crunchy, soft, then protein then veggies. What in the world just happened? Your life will flash before your eyes. Until you take the next bite. ALL BAHN MI $5 (see pic) ***Ca Phe $2.75, typical. Strong, not overly sweet. YES. This made my day, before coming back to LA. I would eat this before I died. At least you're guarantee being in heaven for a moment. read more

Ba Xuyen is still delicious! I had the avocado shake! For those of you unfamiliar to this strange but awesomely delish treat, it's a blend of ice, sugar, condensed milk, and avocados! I love it. It was a great accompaniment to my actual bbq pork banh mi. The banh mi had all the ingredients that made the flavor pop immensely. There were the fresh cilantro and pickled veggies like turnip and carrots. Just sooo good. And it was $5.50 which not bad compared to other places in the neighborhood. So yummy! They also have other beverages if you are just not into avocados as a drinkable thing. I highly recommend you take the D train (9th avenue) and head on out here. :) Love this place. read more

Still got a couple of days before the paycheck comes, what to do? Break that piggy bank and take out the five bucks you saved up the last two years and spend it on something well worth, like a banh mi from Ba Xuyen! I've had their #1 a handful of times and decided to try other sandwiches today and so opted for the #5, Banh Mi Nem Nuong, (bbq with pate & butter). It must of been an off day because it did not taste so good. The meat was bland and had a weird fatty texture. Either way, their #1, Banh Mi Pate Thit Nguoi, (slices of ham, head cheese, pork roll, pork teriyaki & bbq with pate & butter) would still be my go-to! Baguette toasted perfectly--crispy outside, soft inside, slathered in butter and pate, loaded with pickled carrots, cucumber and cilatro, then stuffed with layers of meats, just delicious. Sinh To Bo, which is the avocado shake, also a must have. Made with fresh ripe avocado, creamy and sweet, just what you need to flush down the sandwich you just choked down in a heartbeat. read more

Finally decided to give this place a try after all the hype from my friends. Did it live up to its expectations? MEH. I always get the BBQ pork banh mi at other joints and had to try it here. Usually the BBQ pork at the other places are in pieces and very flavorful, but at this location it was in the form of long strips of patties. It was different and not what I expected. I was not a fan of the pate spread and the carrot & daikon was extremely dry and lacked the vinegar taste. I might've came on a bad day and probably should try the original banh mi to compare, but don't think I would trek so far for a mediocre sandwich. If I'm ever around in the area I would definitely give this place another try. For $5, these sandwiches are a steal. read more

I was so excited to find a good Banh mi place! For 5 dollars you get an amazing sandwich that is stuffed to the gills within perfectly crispy bread, filled with layers of pork, half a bunch of cilantro; this Banh mi is a wonderful balance of sweet, savory, crispy hot crust and crunchy daikon and carrots. The Advocado Shake sounds unappetizing, but we tried it and it was great shake! Rich, slightly sweet, and tasted of the fresh scooped green fruit. The other amazing thing about this hole in the wall is its a melting pot for the neighborhood locals. We went in on a Saturday morning and there were all these neighborhood elderly men, hanging out with their one cup of coffee, speaking Mandarin, Cantonese, Toisanese, English and Spanish. The young and old would come in and leave. The regulars would sit and chat with the staff, who also spoke Cantonese. read more

Dude. Hole in the wall, but SO GOOD! My fiancé has been on strike with this place ever since they increased their sandwich prices from $3.50 to $7. But come on! $7 for these heavenly sandwiches!?!? It's a steal.

Lol. Get out of here boy. I'll eat mine AND yours! Their porkchop over rice is pretty yums too, but stick with that bahn mi...you won't regret it. read more

This is the best Banh Mi I've had on the east coast. It is truly legit. The bread is so soft and crispy, all of the cold cuts have a perfect texture that is easy to bite and still has pop. Everything just melds together perfectly. One of the only legit Banh Mi places in NY (that isn't just filled with ground pork) and also just happens to be the most legit Banh Mi I've had stateside. I grew up eating a LOT of Banh Mi in the Seven Corners/D.C. area and I still think Ba Xuyen takes the cake. If you have never had Vietnamese smoothies before, DONT SKIP the Sinh To here. Vietnamese smoothies use fresh fruit and are mindblowingly good. Another secret is that the Hu Tieu here (seafood noodle soup) is totally legit and has that deep savory flavor that can be hard to find anywhere outside of Vietnam. I used to live in Sunset but now that I don't anymore, I drive down here sometimes just to pick up 5 sandwiches and a smoothie. If you're down to watch the sunset in the park, nothing's better than a sandwich and a cold smoothie to drink along with it. P.S. this place is definitely vietnamese owned and the owners/staff are super sweet and chill. I've been repping this place for years and so glad I'm finally getting around to leaving a yelp review for them. Thanks Ba Xuyen for existing. read more

When I came back from Haiti after 3.5 months of no banh mi whatsoever, the single food item that I craved most was a banh mi. From Ba Xuyen. I dragged my boyfriend here (all the way from Hamilton Heights, so you know it's good) and ordered two banh mi & an avocado shake. He shook my world when he very reasonably asked if we were getting two different ones to split. It's never occurred to me to deviate from the absolute perfection that is #1; any other banh mi couldn't possibly be better. I reluctantly agreed to get #8 (the grilled pork), which also looked pretty good. The prices have gone up ($5 now), but I found to my immense pleasure that it is still totally worth it. We started with the grilled pork, which was surprisingly delicious, albeit in a very different way. I was startled by the distinct hint of lemongrass, and the meat was quite reminiscent of the grilled pork that comes with vermicelli. It was tasty, but I was continually startled by the lemongrass flavor (nope, somehow didn't acclimate to it) and eagerly awaiting my half of the #1 (which I couldn't even finish, tragically, because I can eat at most 3/4 of a banh mi). The avocado shake was everything that I thought an avocado shake should be - not powdery and artificial-tasting, but not tasting solely like avocadoes through a blender. I didn't catch what she did - I assume she added sugar - but it was smooth, delicious and refreshing. I would definitely get it again. My mom surprised me with a #1 half last night and I just lit up completely and wolfed it down. I love food, but there are few foods that I adore as much as Ba Xuyen's #1. Always in my heart. read more
