Bánh Mì Hội An is a gem for a quick, filling, and flavorful meal. The generous meat portion sizes make it an especially smart pickup if you need a reliable meal to pack. High marks for flavor. The meat is deeply seasoned and savory, balancing brilliantly with the bright, tangy kick of the pickled vegetables. The bread has great overall texture with a crisp crust, though the savory sauces from the meat can make the bottom get a bit soggy over time. read more

Decided to knock this off my bucket list since I was in the area. Ordered the Hoi An Special banh mi. The sandwich was packed with ingredients which was great. The meat tasted fresh and but overall the sandwich lacked a lot of flavor. It was very bland. Especially the meat. On the other hand, the winter melon milk tea was really really sweet. I'll stick with my regular banh mi spots. read more

With the limited options for good Vietnamese food in Point Loma, I'd say this is one of the better ones to go to. I went around lunch time and the service was good. They really expanded the menu because before they used to only have Banh mi. I ordered the braised pork belly and it came out pretty fast. The pork was tender and had like a star anise aroma. Wish I had some chilis to go with it. If I go back, I'd probably order a sandwich or the pho. Parking is easy since there's a big parking lot in the back.

Bánh Mì Hội An - Braised Pork Belly - Vietnamese Near Me - San Diego, California

Spring rolls and the bahn mis are so good the bread is soooooo yummy !!! Highly recommend

Delicious. A long time ago, this was my favorite pho I found in the area. On the current round of San Diego, I was able to find a place called Pho Kha off National City, so at the moment, I'm not sure if this still holds the top spot, but it's definitely amazing. I will say that this place calls itself a bahn mi joint rather than a pho joint. It doesn't even have the full combo pho that I generally like to get, yet for some reason, this broth is clearly high tier. The flavor is exquisite. Some might consider this broth slightly "dirty," but I am by no means a pho broth purist. That "dirtyness" is flavor in my book. They also chose to use lemon instead of lime. I do slightly prefer lime, but I think lemon is also valid. Lemon can also come out too strong in a weak broth, but this broth is definitely not weak for California. Naturally, the bahn mi is also really good. The level of firmness and crispiness of the baguette is perfect, the meats are tasty, and the overall ratio of ingredients is about what I want. read more

We drove a bit further out because this place uses paté for their banh mi. I asked for no cilantro on anything and the sandwiches still had some in it. My spouse could not eat them, which ruined our lunch. The shaken beef was flavorless despite all the sauce. We ordered the banh mi pho dip, which was interesting to have pho meat. The grilled pork and chicken banh mi were just fine. I was hoping the paté would make the sandwiches taste more authentic. As with the shaken beef it was rather flavorless. The pho broth is the best thing we ordered, but it is not worth visiting again. Plus, you can't count on them to make sure there is no cilantro. We also asked for jalapeños separated and so they decided not to include them with the sandwiches at all. read more

Sandwiches were good. Vietnamese iced coffees also good. Came out super fast and were not very potent. The dip is a novelty but didn't take away from the flavor. Sandwiches also came out quickly. Place is a bit tucked. Store front faces Main Street but parking lot is tucked behind it. Good place for a quick meal. read more

I would give her 3.5 stars if I could because the beef for the bò lúc lắc was soo chewy and rubbery. The pieces are tad bigger than cubed sized and trying to bite it is useless because it's so chewy, and the opposite of tender. It was giving choking hazard. However, the veggies (bell peppers and onion) in this are so tasty and delicious. Paired with fresh greens and tomatoes, this could have been 10/10 if it weren't for the beef We also got banh mi (brisket) pho dip and that was tasty, also found it to be affordable in comparison to other spots. It didn't necessarily take the banh mi to another level but it was definitely pleasant to try Verbal review "salt & pepper wings were not the best, probably would be nicer if they had some more spices in it but other than that everything was good. no complaints" read more

Quick, Fresh, and Delicious! I didn't have time for a full meal but needed a quick snack for the drive back to LA. Found Banh Mi Hoi An nearby on Yelp when I was craving spring rolls. I ran in, placed my order, and my food was ready in under 10 minutes; perfect for my on-the-go schedule. I didn't have much interaction with the staff besides ordering and picking up, but the spring rolls were super fresh and really hit the spot. I noticed other dishes coming out for dine-in guests, they looked and smelled amazing! Next time I'm in the area, I'll definitely stop in again for more spring rolls and would love to try the pho. Great spot for a tasty, quick bite! read more

I just moved away but went here for years and miss it. I can never get enough Banh Mi Hoi on. As a big sando guy, their classic bahn mi is ELITE and sets the standard with great bread, juicy cuts, and perfect ratio of ingredients! I love adding a fried egg to it. They even offer a sandwich punch card! [[HIGHLIGHT]]But along with fast service, there is lots of comfy seating indoor and outdoor, ample parking, and it's never too loud or crowded.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] But wait, there's more! Don't you dare sleep on their Pho and entrees - I love love love love their use of lemongrass in chicken, pork, and beef- yes I've had them all. Last but not least I can't get enough the peanut sauce on those fresh spring rolls. I almost wish they sold it. Look no further than this review and give them your business right now. read more

First time trying this spot and it was decent. I was surprised at how the sandwich was cut. It made the sandwich much smaller. We also got the fried tofu. It didn't have much to it. The flavor was mainly in the sauce. The service was definitely 5 stars though. They were very kind. read more

We decided to check out Banh Mi Hoi An after seeing an influencer's IG reel showing their banh mi loaded with meat; it looked amazing and drew us in. Sadly, we were fooled. The Hoi An Special sandwich we ordered was nowhere near what was shown in the video. The serving was much lighter on the meat, and overall, the banh mi was pretty mediocre. We also tried the Bo Ne (daily special), and while the flavor was okay, the beef was hella chewy. About half the pieces were tough to eat, though a few were decent. The service was a little awkward too. The server dropped off the Bo Ne and baguette, then came back with utensils and placed them right at the edge of the table, as if he was struggling to keep it on the table, even though there was plenty of space everywhere else on the table. Like, one wrong move and they'd have been on the floor. So weird... Overall, the food was decent but nothing to write home about. Definitely not the overstuffed banh mi we were led to believe from the video. 2 stars feels a bit harsh, so giving them 3. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Such a lovely vibe at @ourbanhmi[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It was my first time experiencing authentic Vietnamese cuisine, and I loved how the restaurant stays true to tradition.

A friend reminded me that we needed to try this place again because it's one of their favorites. We'd been many years ago and were really happy to try it again! The service was great and very speedy! Grilled pork spring rolls with peanut sauce were extremely delicious! Also my wife very much enjoyed the grilled pork vermicelli bowl. The pork was prepared with lemongrass and was to die for. I loved the filet mignon Pho! So good! And the meat was so tender and delicious. We'll definitely be back! read more

First off, plenty of parking in the back of the restaurant. In fact, that's the only place you can park! Don't let Rosecrans throw you off as it appears there's nowhere to park at first. Trust me, you're going to want to visit this place! The people working at the restaurant were very friendly, I believe this place has been here for almost 8 years now but it was my first time trying their food. I think instantly this might be my favorite Vietnamese restaurant. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside was nice and cozy. It could probably fit a couple dozen people in there, there was also some additional dining area at the entrance outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would highly recommend the pho bahn mi. It's basically the Vietnamese version of a French dip and it will rock your taste buds! But my favorite dish here by a long shot which totally took me by surprise and I've never had anything like it was the Bò Né! "Filet mignon steaks, egg, pork sausage, Vietnamese meatball, pate and our special house tomato sauce served with a baguette." I literally quoted from the menu. It is just so good. I cannot express how much flavor bomb comes from this dish. It's so good that I want to take my mom here! So if you're looking for a delicious Vietnamese restaurant, I would absolutely recommend this place. Great service delicious food can't go wrong here. read more

We had just landed in San Diego, picked up our rental car, and wanted a quick bite. We chose Banh Mi Hoi An because we were looking for something light and fast. We arrived right when they opened and ordered their most popular banh mi along with a noodle bowl featuring lemongrass chicken. The banh mi came out first, and unfortunately, it was disappointing. The bread was stale and falling apart. It crumbled as soon as you bit into it. The toppings were difficult to get through, and the cucumber slices were far too thick. It also lacked that signature tang from the pickled vegetables that really defines a good banh mi. That said, I have to compliment the pâté. It was rich, flavorful, and generously applied, which was a nice surprise. The noodle bowl was decent. The chicken was flavorful, and the accompaniments were fine, but overall it was nothing to write home about. I think if the banh mi had been made with fresh bread, it could have been an amazing sandwich. But since the bread is such a crucial part of what makes a banh mi great, it ended up missing the mark. read more

HONESTLY -- best banh mi I've ever had! Service was super sweet and friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a simple little mom and pop shop with a welcoming vibe tucked away in Point Loma.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This was our first time here. We ordered 11 of their special banh mis to bring to a family potluck. They were kind enough to wrap each half individually, which we so appreciated! While we waited, we sat down and had a beer and ended up opening one to try -- and oh my god... Hands down the best banh mi we've ever had! These went quick at the potluck and I'm telling you we got so many raving reviews from everyone who was able to try one and we were stoked! This is officially our new spot! We're definitely coming back for more! read more

I ordered the Filet Mignon Phở and it's honestly one of my favorite phở's i've ever tried. To start off, the noodles tasted so fresh. It tasted like sticky rice which I feel like I haven't really tasted before. The broth was also delicious! It tasted good on its own, but I added a bit of lemon and hoisin sauce, I could not stop drinking it. The Bánh Mì meat was delicious. It had tons of flavor and I loved the toppings. I just wasn't a big fan of the bread. It was to flaky and I wish it held more intact. [[HIGHLIGHT]]When you walk in, you grab a menu and seat yourself wherever you like. The chairs here are also very comfortable and feel fancy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I didn't know this when I went since I had never gone before, so I was waiting for them to bring the check. When you are finished eating, you go to the front to pay. The staff were busy with online orders, but they communicated with us that they were running behind which I appreciated. They made sure we got all we needed and were kind and fast. The food came out steaming hot. They have a designated parking lot which was nice! When you park in the lot though, the restaurant is behind the building. You can't park in front of the door because it is behind the building you park in. I was a bit confused, but I found this hidden gem. {05/27/26-5:20} read more

I came here since I wanted to try their banh mi dip. I got my order togo and got the pho french dip for myself, then a grilled pork (thit nuong) sandwich, and some egg rolls to share. I am honestly pretty picky about my banh mi, but enjoyed the pho french dip. It was a unique concept and I did like that they used pho meat for the filling, though it was a bit dry for me. The broth as honestly my favorite part and it was very flavorful but it didn't feel too heavy. The egg rolls were also pretty good! The staff here was friendly. They also had stamp cards when I came by, and if I am not mistaken, after 10 stamps, you get a free banh mi. I honestly miss the days when boba shops and other establishments did the stamp/punch card so I was happy to see that Banh Mi Hoi An did it. I would definitely come back and try their other menu items. As others have stated, there is parking in the back. read more

I ordered the banh mi hoi an and the xoi. The xoi was comprised of Chinese sausage, chicken, sticky rice, peanuts, scallions and onions. I didn't care for the onions. I believe they put too many onions in it. My recommendation would ask for no onions. However it was delicious. The banh mi hoi an had a lot of meat in it but not enough pate or butter. I would ask for extra pate and butter in it to make it more delicious. read more

Wow! Ordered the brisket pho dip bahn mi, the crispy tofu noodle bowl and their special honey cake with coconut cream, everything was the best we've ever had. Best bahn mi, best tofu, best cake, it's right next to a Barns n Noble, so we were very happy to end our date browsing through books next door. It's so amazing you have to try it, they were also featuring their fried rice- it smelled so good in the there. I would hesitate to try everything in their menu! What a great find! Go!!! read more

This place is legit. It'll easily be my go to pho place if it's near my home in the Bay area. Grilled pork rice vermicelli (dry) - The portion for the grilled pork was generous. Very nicely grilled and charred. One thing is the pork was marinated with lemongrass and I'm not crazy about lemongrass. Nonetheless, it was well marinated and tasty. The pickled Daikin and carrots were well done as well. Very flavorful. The fish sauce also done well. I prefer not concentrated personally. Filet Mignon pho - The soup was good. The meat is legit. Very tender. The pho noodle was done perfectly. Not too long so it's not soggy. Vietnamese ice coffee - despite it's premade, flavor is good. Not too sweet which was perfect for me. read more

We saw this restaurant on IG and wanted to try it. I started with the Summer Rolls but was disappointed. It was loosely rolled and the cucumber was cut a bit thick and fell out of the wrapper. The peanut sauce had the consistency of watery peanut butter. However, I came to dip a Bahn Mi in a pho bowl and that did not disappoint. I ordered the house Bahn Hoi A Special the dip was extra. The bread was airy and crispy and nicely put together. It was delicious especially when dipped into the pho My friends who ordered the Shaken Beef and two bowls of Pho had no complaints. But the Curry Chicken Bahn Mi ... curry was not warm. Server was nice, helpful and honest with recommendations. We would come again but I will stay away from the Summer Roll. read more

Stopped in here for lunch, and didn't really know what to expect. A few things on the menu looked pretty good but I went with the traditional grilled pork Banh Mi. I also ordered a Thai Iced Tea to wash it down. The sandwich tasted fresh. They could have put a little more meat on the sandwich, I felt it was a little light. So, the food was good, but the value was only ok. The service was a little slow, but they did have a medium amount of other people in there already. You pay at the counter when you're done, but you also wait at the counter to be seated or place a to go order. The line was a little odd when trying to leave while other people were trying to order. The place isn't huge but had ample enough seating. I would check it out again for another lunch day. read more

I don't take any pleasure in doing this, but this is the most awful vietnamese restaurant I've ever been to. I was sourly disappointed in everything I ordered. I was deeply fooled by the pictures and good yelp rating. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place deserves a 1 but bc they are dog friendly with patio seating, they get a 1.5.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]First off, I think the place is cute and cozy "looking", but it is very dirty.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The tables and chairs outside is just blatantly unkept.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside is better but I touched a lot of dusty menus and the tables don't look wiped down.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I could get past all of that, but it is the food! Holy snickers how everything i ordered had ZERO flavor. I got bun bo hue that smelled very authentic but the soup tasted like soap water. What really turn us off is that the bowl of hot soup was NOT hot. It was luke warm at best! Not what I expected! The bowl lacked the essence of bun bo hue. No meat! No pork feet, no pigs blood, no pork loaf, no meatball, not even a hint of shrimp paste flavor! Good gosh, the worst bun bo hue I've ever had. We also got the braised pork that lacked any hint of flavor. The vietnamese xiu mai was just all tomato paste. It wasn't tart and salty as it should be. Its just mashed up tomato sauce with NO sense of vietnamese identity. The meatballs were mushy and pasty! Gross! The hot deli food at Lucky seafood is better than this stuff by 10 folds. I also got a pork skewer at 5$. What did they do? Boil the pork and then char it? It tastes like meat that doesn't even have salt and pepper. I think monks eat better than this. I also got 2 banh mi. One special and one thit nuong. Now, this could have been very decent and saved the day, but our bread was toasted to oblivion. It was so hard and there were no softness left on that baguette in any way shape or form. This turned us off so bad. Today was a sad day. Mistakes were made and I'll never make the same mistake twice bc I'll never be coming here again. read more

When we randomly selected this restaurant on a whim, I never expected that it would become one of the most delicious eats of our trip. Banh Mi Hoi An is a gem. I got the GRILLED PORK BANH MI ($8.95) and savored every single bite. The pork was super tender and nicely marinated, being slightly sweet with underlying notes of lemongrass. The edges of the meat also had a light char from the grill which added extra flavor. In addition to the cucumber, I loved the crunch from the pickled daikon and carrot, which had the perfect subtle tang, alongside the heat from the jalapeño. A drizzle of creamy mayo quelled the spice and was the perfect final touch. The bread was terrific as well, being soft and light inside, with a slight crunch on the outside. The banh mi was so good that we stopped by again to pick up an early lunch before heading to the airport on our last day. The gentleman at the front who took our order was friendly and we could tell that our sandwiches were crafted and wrapped up with care. This is proof that sometimes an unassuming spot can turn out to be the most pleasant surprise. Very reasonable pricing too! read more

Bánh Mì Hội An - GRILLED PORK BANH MI ($8.95) - Vietnamese Near Me - San Diego, California

Mom and pop spot with big Instagram energy and... that's about where it ended for me. Food was mid overall. The pork chop was actually good, I will give credit where it is due, but everything else was pretty underwhelming. On top of that, there was no ice in the store, so we did not really get anything to drink, which was not ideal. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The setup was a little odd, and it was very much a family operation. Kids taking orders while dad was actively bringing in supplies. Kind of chaotic, kind of charming, but also not exactly confidence inspiring.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I am glad I tried it since they had so many IG videos, but I would not go back. Sometimes the reel is better than the real thing. read more

PHO-nomenal! I've been on a bit of a Pho run lately as I've been craving pho as we've hit the winter months. I was in the area after a workout today and decided to try out Banh Mi Hoi An. I've driven by tons of times but finally made it past the parking lot. Banh Mi Hoi An is quite the hidden gem in Point Loma off of Rosecranz. Parking was easy and the space is perfect for quick dining in or take out. I opted for the Filet Mignon pho and the classic grilled Banh mi. Delicious. Pho was served piping hot with all the fixings and the banh mi crust was chef's kiss!! Perfectly crusty and literally the best I've had in San Diego. Large portions and even better pricing. Bring your appetite because this one is a winner! Thanks Banh Mi Hoi An, I'll be back! read more
