Great place, great food....Highly recommended. I love both pork and beef sandwiches. I also like the rice plates as well.

Found this place accidentally while on a work trip. I'm devastated I won't be able to come back weekly as I live in Nashville. Best Bahn Mi I've ever had. The freshness of ingredients, and the care in preparation are felt and tasted in every bite. Do yourself a favor and get yourself one of these sandwiches. read more

it's really good, it's like real banh mi in Viet Nam. I love the grill pork banh mi, and their service is pretty great . Love it

Been there a couple times. Good quality of food for a quick lunch. Near the SH highway, convenient for travel.

The interiors was something I was just in aw the whole time. They had a custom painted mural and the interior was just so new and pretty, I felt the bench and tables were also something custom. The lighting was cute and simple industrial style. The food was good! A little overpriced than your average banh mi you would get from a Vietnamese restaurant but this one was stuffed with toppings and meats that made it worth the price. Not to say the banh mi was also delicious! I also got the mangonada drink to go with my sandwich and it was a good mix of the sweet mango and sour spice chamoy and tajin. read more

I love this place. I wish they had longer hours because the food is so good! I get the tofu bahn mi and I'm yet to finish the whole thing because there's so much of it. The smoothies are really good, too. I recommend adding poppers. if you've never had bahn mi, this is a good choice to try it out. Prices are great, food is fantastic, service is top notch. read more

I drive to the northwest area just to come to Banh No Etc. bread always fresh & Ingredients are always super fresh very clean establishment and fast service read more

Houston has no shortage of Bahn Mi spots and I aim to try them all. However, I have yet to find a better Bahn Mi anywhere. My go-to is the pork with a runny egg and it has NEVER disappointed. The bread is perfect, the egg is cooked just right, the veggies are fresh and the pork is juicy and delicious with being too fatty. If you are hankering for some Bahn Mi, look no further. You have found it... stop reading and order now. read more

Stopped in for lunch and had a sandwich. Nice place on the inside. Food tasted fresh and the bread was amazing. I'll definitely go back.

This place is good but I feel like they are ALWAYS CLOSED I don't get why they would be closed on a Saturday they could attract more business being opened on the weekends read more

If you want to find tasty Vietnamese food, come visit this spot. The food is fresh and well prepared. Staff extremely friendly and cordial. Social distancing is enforced. Staff does wear masks and gloves as added protection. Sanitizer available and the place is pristine in terms of cleanliness. Bathroom is unisex but clean. Great chill ambience, 80s music playing today and I love the free WIFi. read more

You know when a hot and new restaurant pops up on your Yelp page, and you want to check it out, but it's always too far away for a quick visit? At least that's how we often feel in NW Houston. I was so surprised when I was looking for a quick and cheap local place to grab some lunch that this bookmarked location is RIGHT next to where I work and live. Amazing!!! I walked in thinking that this was just going to be another Vietnamese banh mi restaurant, but maybe a little tastier. I was wrong. This place is extremely clean, and extremely well designed (very hip). It is a breath of fresh air inside of what was a dying shopping center. I think this may help bring the area back to life! The facelift the plaza has given everything will help too. It looks VERY nice outside, and inside now!!! So my wife and I, and my child, walk inside and are immediately impressed by the atmosphere. We were pleased to see that the prices were in line with other cheaper Banh Mi places, and hoped the quality would match. When I ordered mine with pork, I asked if I could have a fried egg on the sandwich. They asked me if I would like it cooked or runny. Stop right there. I've never had ANYONE ask me how I would like my egg on a Banh Mi. That was impressive. Runny, of course, but then they cooked the egg to PERFECTION! Man, it was good. One thing we weren't impressed with were the spring rolls. They were pre-made, sitting for God know's how long, wrapped in saran wrap. This made the rice paper VERY chewy, and it was a bit harder to get through (and I say this with lots of experience in the spring roll category!). We tried to cut some up for our daughter, and they were tough even with a knife and fork. It didn't help things either that they forgot that we ordered them, so we were waiting and waiting for them to come out, and had to remind the staff. They had taken our number away and everything. The location has reward points, which is an awesome bonus when it's so conveniently and cheaply at my doorstep. My wife ordered a Mango shake for some extra calories for my daughter when she was having such a rough time getting through the spring roll, and it was absolutely delicious. Looking around at other peoples' dishes, I am excited to try the other options here and will update my review accordingly! If you're in the area, hit this place up! read more

Hello Yelpers! I come here at least once a week because I always crave their thai milk green tea! It's the first time I have ever tried that kind of mixture and since then I've been hooked! If I do eat here, I always get the lemongrass beef with rice and add a runny egg. So delicious!! I recently had their sandwich for the first time called the Banh Mi Special and it wasn't bad but I wished their bread was more fresh. Make sure you like pate because they spread that religiously on there! But overall great flavor! The place is very clean with a hipster feel. I definitely didn't expect that when I first walked in. Customer service is always great. Big shout out to Larry who have always provided the best service with a smile! =) read more

Banh Mi ETC - Banh Mi Special & shrimp spring rolls. - Vietnamese Near Me - Houston, Texas

I've been here a number of times, mostly for bubble tea. It's not the best quality or most extensive bubble tea around but it is the most convenient location for me. I usually get my bubble tea without ice because it makes it difficult to get all the tapioca out. Today they told me that without ice the cups wouldn't be completely full. I said that was fine but did not expect it to be half empty (which was the case)! Especially since I have gotten bubble tea many times without ice here before and never had a noticeably not full cup. To top it off, the tea is powdery tasting, like they didn't add enough water for the amount of powder that went into it. I'm disappointed to say the least. read more

Banh Mi ETC - Half empty cups because I ordered without ice! - Vietnamese Near Me - Houston, Texas

I have been waiting for a month for this place to open up. It's located in a kind of run down shopping strip off west road near the beltway, but don't let the appearance fool you. The decor and interior of this place is surprisingly very nice and updated. The staff were friendly and were fast with service.They have a grand opening special $5 for a banh mi, egg roll or chips plus an ice tea. 3/5 Banh mi- the veggies are fresh but the banh mi lacked much meat if you ask me. The flavor of the pork was a little sweet for my liking. However the char on the pork was spot on. 5/5 egg roll- it wasn't greasy and filling was seasoned just right. 4/5 ice tea- I had a choice of black or green (sweet or unsweet) I picked for it to have half the amount of sugar. It was fresh and just the right amount of sweetness. 5/5 spring rolls- these were perfect. You can't beat 3 for $4. The size and flavor were 100%. The peanut sauce was the right consistency and flavor. The wrapper was not dry. The shrimp and pork were fresh as well as the veggies/noodles. These were my favorite item from my visit today. I will be back to try another type of banh mi but I for sure will be back to try a Thai tea and grab some more of those delish spring rolls. Updated: The regular prices aren't worth the food. I felt like the honey moon was over on my 2nd visit. $16 for spring rolls, banh mi and a basic green tea is a little steep for me. The quality wasn't there on the 2nd visit. I was a little disappointed. read more

Decided to try this new place instead of my usual Vietnamese restaurant and I'm glad I did. Food was good. I found the pork to be a little chewy, but most likely because of the time of day I visited. I was really impressed with the portion size, price and how you get TWO egg rolls with the meal. The staff was really friendly and place is super clean, not to mention that it's extremely stylish and pleasant to be in. Will be back! read more

Banh Mi ETC - Grilled pork with egg rolls (bun thit nuong) - Vietnamese Near Me - Houston, Texas

Located in a dead plaza however when I came on a Tuesday afternoon it was super packed. Atmosphere and customer service I'd give a 5/5. Everyone there was super nice however I couldn't help but give a lower rating due to their food. Green tea 4/5- refreshing and good however a bit too sweet with even 50% sugar Milk tea 1/5- pretty bad ... I saw them make it. It was black tea and regular milk poured in. I've been to many boba places, owned one and even worked at one back in the days and never seen whole milk poured in. I mean that is an option but most places just use non dairy creamer. Whole milk just makes it taste nasty Meatball sandwich 4/5- pretty decent and good BBQ pork 3/5- could be better but the meat was super bland. Breading was too thick. Was also cold even though I asked for toasted. Great thing was the mayo, it was good read more

Super excited to have a boba place near my house! I'll need to update my review as soon as I try one of their vermicelli bowls. We stopped one afternoon to scratch a boba itch and found out that drinks are Buy 2 get 1 free between 3-7p every day. We got the almond milk tea, chai milk tea, and Thai milk tea. All 3 were as good as any bubble tea spots in Chinatown. What I liked the most was that there wasn't too much ice! I saved the Thai milk tea in my fridge till the next day and it was still really good! Service was super fast and if I were in high school this would totally have been where I hung out. I can't wait to go back! Tip: closed Sundays. read more

I absolutely love this place! I stop by at least twice a week. Their food is very consistent as far as portions and the taste goes. They are very quick even when I come inside and order. This is also a good place to call in your order and take back to the office. The vermercilli chicken bowl and the sandwiches are a must! read more

I come to get their chicken bahn mi all the time when I'm home for the summer. I really like their bahn mi here because it's not too saucy or greasy, and all the ingredients taste really fresh. Their boba isn't too bad either. The wait time can get a little long depending on when you go in but I've never had my order be forgotten. read more

It was disgusting!!! Chicken in the Bahn Mi was old, dry and tasteless. Service was awful. I would give it zero stars if I could!!

This place a great lunch spot that has a very nice decor. The inside looks more like something that should be down near Washington. The sandwiches use slow dough and are well done. The rice plates are my go to and the pork and chicken are both great. I always add an extra pork patty, this is a must get imo. An egg over easy and a pork patty on a rice plate are the way to go. Add some magi and sriracha and thats a full meal. The service is always great and food is reasonably priced. read more

I came here after living in Wisconsin for two years and not having any banh mi designated shops other then the pho restaurants that sell banh mi. Today I decided to have the special and the bread was fresh and crispy and all of the meats were delicious. Really enjoyed this and reminds me of Orange County! I also had the green Thai tea which I like more than the traditional Thai tea. Though it was a bit sweeter than I liked. read more

I had the grilled pork and grilled chicken banh mi. They are delicious. The banh mi is big. The grilled pork is so good and they give you a lot of meat. I preferred the grilled pork than the grilled chicken. The bread is perfect not too hard or too soft. The price are reasonable and the staff are very friendly. read more

I'm am a HUGE fan of Bahn Mi. When I learned there was a place near (displaced by Harvey) me that I could get my fix. I can't tell you how excited I was. I rushed in and bought 6 sandwiches. There seemed to be something missing. As if they had been toned down/ gentrified? I love the spread, peppers and pickles carrots etc. used on the traditional Bahn Mi..... these lacked all the slight, small thing that truly make a Bahn Mi a BAHN MI.. that is for me anyway. Don't take my word for it, try them for yourself. You may love them the way they make them. *remember this is just one fat boys opinion and you are welcome to yours* read more

I live around the corner and tend to forget this place I usually get my fix down in Bellaire but why should I go that far when this is as good. No complaints here keep up the great job read more

I've been waiting on a good Vietnamese sandwich shop to come to this area for a long time! Well, I don't have to wait anymore. It's right down the street from my house so this will be my new go to. Fast and friendly service. (Tell Alan I sent you.) (No, I don't get a referral payment, lol) . The food is great, can't wait for the full menu. The only thing that would make it better is if they toasted the bread. The sandwich was still good though. read more

Banh mi can be hit or miss, based on the taste of the meats, the thickness of the bread, and the texture and taste of the pate. Thankfully, their Banh mi were all hits. Me and a friend of mine checked out their sandwiches and the bread was quite fresh. The pork was sweet but moist, flavorful, packed with flavor. We got the lunch special which is the sandwich, a runny egg add on,a bag of chips and a foundation drink. Tip go on Tuesday and that deal is $5. Overall a good place to grab lunch! read more

What ridiculous hours. It would be nice to have this during the week but 4 pm close ruins that.

If you're ever in the are and like Banh mi this is the place to definitely stop by. I love love love the atmosphere and how the restaurant is decorated. It's a cute cozy place to have lunch and dinner. I'm really glad I found this place on yelp. My boyfriend, sister and I stopped by bc we wanted something simple to grab and go. They do a special of buy 4 you get 1 free. And of course we couldn't pass on the offer. I loved how nicely toasted the bread was for the Banh mi. We had also ordered the kimchi fries with grilled pork it, I liked how everything thing was put together in it. Plus you can never go wrong with any type of kimchi fries. 10/10 would recommend a friend to come and dine in. read more

Banh mi thit nuong (bbq pork) with egg 6/10 Banh mi thap cam (cold cuts) 2/10 This place is mediocre at best. Stay away from the cold cuts unless you wanna be disappointed. French butter and pate was on the skimpy side, but lacking in taste with the little that i got. Bbq pork was not bad, but missing that char grill taste and meat was on the bland side. Wife had the avocado smoothie, we couldnt even finish it, the honey they put in there just ruined it. Overall, i wouldnt go back. This place might satisfy people that don't know better, but its far off from its competitors. read more

Used to grow up not far from this area, and there was nothing really good in terms of Asian food around here back then. Now after about 10 years, I moved back here with my husband and son, it's changed quite a bit! There's enough good Asian options around so we don't always have to trek down to Chinatown to eat! So far I've mostly had their boba drinks, but have also tried the beef lemongrass (which is tasty) and meatball banh mi. My favorite is the meatball Banh mi, which is what I always go for at my favorite Chinatown hole in the wall place, but I feel most other places make this too greasy or won't give enough meatballs. This place gives generous sized meatballs, and it's well done and tasty! The bread is perfect too because it's crispy but not so hard like a rock where it hurts your mouth to bite into it. Favorite drink here so far is the Thai green milk tea or the passion fruit black tea. Their setup inside is nice, quite trendy (although this doesn't matter to me so much as I like how quiet the place is if you want to sit there to read etc). It's been so nice to have an option literally across the street for boba cravings!! read more

Food I received was very good it's just not what I ordered. Asked for no cucumber on sandwich and of course they were on there, along with no pate! That's the best part!! I ordered shrimp and pork spring rolls and only got pork. Like I said food was good but this was annoying when you go out of your way to one of the few places in Houston that actually uses pate. read more

I grew up eating banh mi so I will prefer these delicious sandwiches over Subway sandwiches any day. For those of you who don't know, typically a banh mi consist of juicy layers of roasted pork, a rich schmear of pâté, a smattering of crunchy, punchy pickled vegetables, and a loaf of bread that's totally unique in its construction. With my love for banh mi, you could only imagine how happy I was to find out about Banh Mi ETC. My first thoughts were this place is going to be very Americanize, which I was not wrong. I will say that there are some blends of the Vietnamese flavors in the sandwich. However, I was sad they didn't have my favorite Banh Mi sandwich, Banh Mi Dac Biet, so I ended up ordering the Grilled Pork Banh Mi and an iced Black Milk Tea with Lychee Jelly. The sandwich was satisfyingly crunchy and savory. I had to bring in the heat with some sriracha drizzled in it. I thought the sweet iced milk tea was an excellent choice to accompany this meal. Overall, I enjoyed the food and I would most likely come back again. Instagram: @houstonfoodee read more

This place is good, but be careful when you get a to-go. I've dined in and gotten to-go orders, but everytime I've gotten the tofu vermicelli bowl I've never gotten the two eggrolls that it was supposed to come with. The first time I didn't say anything because mistakes happen. This time I called them out on it and I was told since it's not meat, per se, that it doesn't get the two eggrolls. That didn't seem fair to me and I told them that their menu said that the vermicelli bowls come with two eggrolls. The cashier apologized and told me that she can talk to the manager or something about it, but I didn't want to do that. It's about the principle. Food may be good in this establishment, but this experience left me with a sour taste. read more
