I had the Pho Banh Mi and it was like eating the softest most delicious beef pho in sandwich form! Delicious and I'll be back and bringing others!

Solid, authentic banh mi at a good price from a nice family. Some days the roast pork is of higher quality than others. Overall one of the better options in town for a quick takeout lunch.

Original Banh Mi with Thai Ice Tea for lunch.

Daryl P.

Stopped in for a lunch exploring Main St near The University of Delaware in Newark. Ordered a Thai Ice Tea along with a standard Banh Mi as this was my first time checking this place out. I'll be back for the other variations with family as they always enjoy a good crispy banh mi with either pate and cold cuts like the one I had or beef teriyaki. The banh mi had all the parts to it. There were pickled veggies; carrots and turnip, a slide of spicy jalapeños which got me reaching for my Thai Ice Tea. The Mayo and pate spread could have been a little more along with the cold cuts as I always appreciate a stuffed Banh Mi because getting messy with your food means you are enjoying it right? The bun was toasted well and had a crunch to it. They don't have an extensive menu for bubble tea like Kung Fu Tea or T Barr down the road but it's best to do what you do best and stick with your namesake. The outdoor seating is nice but do keep in mind that you are on a busy road and though the cars driving by are always pleasant to watch; the occasional truck will ruin your meal and leave you smell smog on a still day. All in all with Banh Mi near my work and getting my lunch done in about 45 min it's a good bet that I'll be back for more!

Delicious banh mi on walking distance of a college campus. We were on vacation and on our road trip stopped by here after reviewing from other yelpers and boy, lunch did not disappoint. First, upon arrival, I noticed that we are in walking distance from an university college. There is a parking lot for the customers which is awesome. As soon as we walked in, we're greeted by the friendly staff. The menu is right behind the counter and they have lunch specials for $6.95 and up and you can have a whole banh mi sandwich, bag of chip and can soda. We ordered 4 different lunch special banh mi: chicken, the original (which is usually called banh mi dac biet in other banh mi shops), pork and a vegetarian. We grabbed our selection of chips and soda and sat. The orders were brought out to us in minutes. The crispy French baguette with the meat fillings and tofu fillings along with the pickled carrots, cilantro, cucumber and jalapeño slices, siracha and mayo are all so yummy! They do have a few table seatings and some high seats along the store front. The place also serve rice dishes. For light eaters or those who just want to sample more than one banh mi, you can do so by ordering their half size banh mi. Overall, good food and service, clean place, has parking!!!

I love college towns! So many great little restaurants like Banh Mi Boy. This one is a must visit. It's off the beaten path so you have to seek it out and it's well worth it. It's a sleek sparse large dining area with bright orange walls and lots of plain white tables. A simple menu of a few choice Banh Mi sandwiches and some other offering and some cool tunes. The people here are fast and friendly but it's the food that's the superstar. Fresh veggies are bright and vibrant but the meats are the headliner and wow what a show. Get in this place and have a great sandwich experience.

Original Banh Mi and Vietnamese Sausage banh mi

. ..

I've tried 6 of the sandwiches and they were all amazing. Hands down my favorite was the Original, followed by the Vietnamese sausage. The chicken curry was tasty as well as the pho one. If i could offer a suggestion would be to serve the pho one with pho broth on the side to dip, like a French dip. Roast pork and the meatball ones were also legit.

Food: I have lived in the elkton/newark area almost all my life and I am so sad that I am just now learning about this place! This place is a gold mine!!! The meat is cooked and seasoned with so much flavor. The rice and vegetables with that side sauce all go to together beautifully. Don't even start me on the bread. It's so warm and fluffy! The best roll I've ever had. Also the lychee soda is SOO GOOD! Did I mention this food is dirt cheap?! This is my new favorite place on Main Street. This is a must try for sure! Service: the guy that took our order so so cool and very friendly. We had a exchanged a few words with him whole we were waiting to order and he was very kind. Other: if you're a student, this place seems like a great study/homework spot. We went to eat on a weekday afternoon and there were plenty of open tables. If I went to UD this would definitely be my go to study spot.

Before owners changed I used to love the summer rolls at Banh Mi Boy. After the change I went twice, never again. The price changed from around $6.25 to $9.75 and the size of the rolls decreased by 30 percent. There were 2 small pieces of pork in each roll. Rolls were tiny. Compare to Pork Summer Rolls at Pho Cali, you can see slices of pork rolled around and you get 4 large rolls for $10, compared to 3 summer 'noodle' rolls. Very disappointing.

Located around the University of Delaware, this sandwich shop has parking and tables for patrons to dine in. They have specials for the sandwiches that includes chips and soda. We ordered four types of sandwiches that includes roast pork, chicken, original, and vegetarian. The usual fillings were carrots, cilantro, cucumbers, and jalapeno peppers that came with the sandwiches. I personally enjoyed the vegetarian one the most if I had to choose just one. The baguette was delicious because it was soft and toasted lightly just the way i liked mine. The breading seemed to be perfect with the texture. They also served rice dishes, but we didn't get a chance to try it. Overall, I would eat here again if I was in the area.

I must admit Joju in NYC set the bar really high for me so what may seem like a 4 to me may seem like a 5 to many others. Traveling through Delaware we decided to make a stop here for lunch. The place was super clean and quiet not much interaction between us and the staff. My husband ordered a BBQ pork banh mi while I ordered a pork banh mi. While his was great I was a bit disappointed because I hadn't realized that it would made with a pork roll, I do wish that would have been a little more transparent. Overall the sandwich was good just not exactly what I would have wanted. I will say these were the largest banh mi sandwiches I've ever had usually they baguettes are smaller. That wasn't the case here they were footlong. The milk teas were amazing especially the Tarro, if passing through Delaware I would stop again just for that.

We ended up at Banh Mi Boy after an afternoon exploring the outdoors. Banh Mi sandwiches are typically simple. However, don't let their simplistic deceive you, they are still rather tasty. Banh Mi Boy offers a standard (Original) sandwich as well as a handful of others. They also offer drinks, summer rolls, and platters. We decided to try a pair of sandwiches, the pho sandwich and the pork belly. While the pho sandwich was my selection, the pork belly beat it by a mile and would be my clear recommendation. Don't get me wrong, pho meat and toppings on a banh mi sandwich was a clever idea and tasty, that pork was perfectly cooked. I'm glad we decided to get two full sandwiches, as a half each would probably not have filled us up!

I stopped in here for a late lunch on a Saturday afternoon. The prices were pretty reasonable and the traditional Banh-Mi tasted good. My only complaint was that it took a really, really long time for the half-sandwich to come out. I was able to use the restroom, sit back down and read half of my newspaper before food arrived at the table. And the restaurant was not crowded at all. I might come back and try something else next time I'm in the area. read more

Bahn Mi Boy is somewhat hit or miss. The vietnamese meatball sandwich, however, is so good that I have to give this place 5 stars. The sandwich is cheap, fresh, and absolutely delicious. You know that kind of full feeling you get when you eat something light yet satisfying? That's the feeling you get after eating this sandwich. It's fantastic. Ask for extra jalapenos. Also the owner is adorable. read more

I have eaten here two times and enjoyed both. Most recently, my wife started with the "Shrimp and pork summer roll". It was great on a hot day. The cool rice wraps of mint, shirmp, lettuce and pork are very tasty, with the strong mint, some of the plum sauce that comes with it and some sriracha, really hit the spot. I had the Pho sandwich and it really does taste like traditional Vietnamese Pho. I did not have to put any sriracha on it as the sliced jalapeno peppers were very spicy. I think this place is great for a quick sandwich. The service was quick and the servers were friendly students and the owner was there and we had a nice chat. I like family owned businesses. I didn't try any of the drinks, but there was an interesting selection. Any time I am in Newark I will be stopping in. read more

My husband and I shared a pork belly banh mi. We both thought it was delicious and exactly what a banh mi should be. So many places say that they are making a banh mi and it just isn't done right. This is a pretty classic banh mi, nothing fancy but proper. Nice pickled vegetables, a little spice, a little sweet and a good roll... nice to cut through a meat like pork belly or liver (which I will try next). read more

Ugh I really want to be able to give this establishment 4-5 stars but I was so disappointed in my pho sandwich! After reading all the positive reviews about it, we ordered that and a meatball sandwich for take out. The pho sandwich was SO incredibly salty that after two bites we couldn't even finish it. Upon inspection it appears that the bread was slathered in whatever salty sauce they use (fish sauce plus some kind of paste?) and there was such a thick layer of it that we literally couldn't taste anything else in the sandwich so it didn't taste like pho at all. We also ordered the meatball sandwich which was good but I was expecting so much more from the pho sandwich and had to share my disappointment. Bummer. read more

While I thought it is fine for a neighborhood Vietnamese spot, it was not worth going out of the way to come here. We tried the bun bo hue (beef lemongrass pho) and a combo of beef pho and a pork hoagie. The lemongrass pho had pork feet, 4 small pieces of beef, and 3 slices of Vietnamese ham. Aside from the spice, the broth lacked depth. The hoagies were small and was mostly just bread with very little meat. In general, I found their portions to be small and the ratio of meat to stuff (noodles, bread, etc) is rather low. The combo portions are the same size as the kids portions. The server said that it is roughly 2/3 of the regular portion but I think it is less than that. On the plus side, I think they've done a good job of adapting their menu to appeal to people that are not familiar with Vietnamese food.

At least there was a fair amount of meat Bun Bo hue 6/10: The broth was good, a tad too spicy. I only mention the spiciness because it feels like more spice was added to hide the lack of flavor. Fair amount of meat Bun V box 2/10: I liked the idea of a small portion of everything. The only thing good about this box was the noodles. The summer roll and spring roll both lacked flavor. The dumplings and the sauce were sweet which was not a good thing.. Coconut juice -2/10: Really disappointed that the drink came with a spoon but no coconut meat. The waiter waited until we asked and then told us that they ran out of coconut meat. It felt really odd that he waited until AFTER I received the drink and took a sip. Iced Vietnamese coffee 1/10: Probably made from powder and water. The drip device wasn't there.. The coffee was filled with so much ice that the lid was popping off. I was really disappointed in this restaurant. I would not come back nor suggest this to friends.

It's also BYOB, so if you're of legal drinking age, you can bring your own beer. This restaurant is located in the Fairfax Shopping Center right between Walgreens and Crab du Jour on Concord Pike, and there is plenty of free parking in the lot. When you walk in, you immediately know the place is authentic by the aroma of incense and the mini altars with daily offerings to Ông Địan and Thần Tài. The space itself is clean, spacious, and has plenty of seating. The friendly staff attended to our needs right away, brought us water and menus, and took our orders. I ordered the Bún Đặc Biệt (house special vermicelli topped with a mix of grilled pork, shrimp, fresh herbs, and sliced chả giò), a bánh mì thịt heo nướng (grilled pork), a bánh mì thịt bò nướng (grilled beef), and a bánh mì chả lụa (pork meat loaf). My nephew ordered the Phở Tái Nạm Gầu (thinly sliced raw eye-round steak, well-done flank, and fatty brisket), while my wife ordered the Bún Chả Giò. The pho was amazing--authentic, savory, flavorful, and incredibly satisfying. The bun dishes were delicious and cool, hitting our appetites perfectly on a 90°+ day. What really makes the difference with vermicelli is having a great nước mắm sauce, and this place does it perfectly. And the bánh mì sandwiches--wow! Having great bread is the foundation, and this place absolutely hits the mark. The combination of the thinly sliced marinated meats topped with a crisp, tangy julienned mix of daikon and carrots, long cucumber sticks for a fresh crunch, bright cilantro, and fresh jalapeños for a spicy kick makes all the difference. It's what elevates it from an OK sandwich to a truly great one. We're definitely hitting this spot again whenever we're in town. Tip: When ordering sandwiches to go, let them know if you plan to eat them the same day or the next day and they'll separate the veggies for you so the baguette doesn't get soggy!

On today's episode of eating my way through restaurants around the University of Delaware (while…read moretaking my college senior daughter to lunch), we landed at The Ugly Dumpling. We kicked things off with edamame - simple and exactly what you'd expect (hard to mess that up). From there, we shared the chicken soup dumplings, which were loaded with broth and seasoned chicken. I always wonder how they manage to make those, but that's a mystery for another day. The vegetable spring rolls came out hot and crispy. They could've used more filling, but the thin wrapper made them extra crunchy, which I liked. Surprisingly, the star of the show wasn't the dumplings - it was the fried rice. Something about it just kept me going back for more. I'm usually not big on rice, but even my daughter said it was, in her words, "obnoxiously good." We also tried bubble tea (my daughter ordered it for me), and it was my first time having one with a fruity flavor inside the boba - "slamming" is the only way to describe it. Service-wise, the staff and hostess were polite and attentive throughout. Overall, I'd give The Ugly Dumpling a strong 4 out of 5. FYI - when you hit the bathroom, make sure you grab the hand soap and not the mouthwash like I did. When you go, you'll see what I mean, lol.

I was visiting a friend in DE and finally was able to stop by and try out Banh Mi Boy. I grew up in Philly and have been eating Banh Mi's for many years now (on and off...I crave it like at least once a week)...so I've had my fair share of Banh Mis from all the local Viet towns and Chinatowns (that's just about the only place you can get these). At first I was sceptical...seeing that there would be non-Asians making these Asian Sandwiches, but then I saw the Asian lady in the back...this is always a good sign. So...1st the positives, very comparable and maybe even better then the shops I've been to in Philly and New York. Everything tasted like it was made that day vs. who knows. My friend and I did splits on a Roast Pork and an Original and an order of the Summer Rolls. The Original tasted great and I felt that the veggies topping it off were extremely fresh! The Roast Pork on the other hand was exceptional! The Roast Pork itself tasted better then some of the Roast Pork you would find in some of the Chinatown Noodle shops (for those that know what I'm talking about). The roast pork itself was very lean and hardly had any fat on it at all. The Summer Rolls were exactly what I expected (this is good), because I've had Summer Rolls that are totally 'fake' and now-a-days, it seems like people are calling anything Summer Rolls...these were the real deal...they were nice and soft and the plum sauce for dipping was also perfect. The staff actually was good...and it felt like they knew what they were talking about regarding explaining the Banh Mis. The place felt clean and seemed like a spot you could just chill and hang out (i think one of the other comments said same thing)...which we did. The Cons....we did see a coconut lychee dessert, but wish they would sell a lot of the other great desserts that are sold in the philly, new york shops...and there are a lot of good ones. Other then that, we were extremely surprised and totally satisfied with our experience...will absolutely be back! read more

I agree with the points brought up by "Jenine B." and "Zack E." As a college student, I had to find out for myself. My girlfriend and I ordered the vegetarian sandwich. We were disappointed that there was very little sauce on and little substance to the sandwich. Since I am a starving college student and look to spend my money wisely, at first glance I thought Banh-mi-boy would have the price and substance from all the hype. For a sandwich around $5, I felt I did not get my money's worth. After our meal, my girlfriend and I went to the sub shop up the street to eat again! I don't care if the rolls come from Philadelphia every day and they are handmade with TLC (which is a plus), no substance = no business. However, I did find the staff to be very hospitable and the restaurant nice and clean. Perhaps one day I will return and try another item on the menu, but not the vegetarian tofu sandwich. read more

I was looking forward to eating at this new restaurant. I ordered the vegetarian sandwich and it was quite disappointing. There was not enough "meat" on the sandwich. It was all fluffy, puffy bread! I got ripped off because I just paid for a $5 fluffy, puffy roll! My friends were also with me, and didn't get half the ingredients on their sandwiches as advertised. Their juice is weird. It tastes like fruit cup juice...pure sugar and random pieces of pulp. Could you call the salad a salad? It was sprouts, tofu, and carrots, with a questionable dressing. read more

Haven't try my summer roll yet, I just don't understand why there's a service fee on to go order. Did the lady get paid while working there? ------------ Reply to the owner: stop calling it "service charge". You can just say you are charging for credit card fee to your customer when the fee is usually handled by the merchant. There's no sign about the credit fee in the store, the employee also didn't mention about this. I won't even know about this if I didn't take a look at the receipt. read more

Oh yeah, MS, well I don't think you should write reviews!! Have you been to the Banh Mi stalls in Hanoi like I have?? I don't think so. You haven't experienced real banh mi until a toothless Vietnamese peasant has prepared one for you. Maybe you bourgeois pigs like you think that ex-pat banh mi restaurants of new york are authentic, whatever man, when I'm in the mood for banh mi I go the source. Now your opinion is not qualified.
