    Banh mi bi chay
    Cathy N.

    Sandwiches are still great, taste is still good. But recently I decided to get a little wild and opted for the more expensive banh mi by getting crispy pork instead of my usual. On the yelp menu, it's about a $1 more so in the moment I figured it wasn't a big deal going for it. I previously had the crispy pork banh mi in SoCal and it was deliciousssss, so when I saw Banh mi oven offered it I decided to try it. Again, I love Banh mi oven and I think their sandwiches still taste really good. BUT as a regular customer, i was very disappointed in their crispy pork. It wasn't crispy, it was really chewy. I've had a crispy pork belly sandwich ordered for me before, waited for me for 2 hours and it was still crispy. Not only was banh mi oven's not crispy, but I paid an extra dollar to only receive 3 pieces of pork belly :( if I paid a dollar less for one of the other sandwiches, I'm sure it would've been filled. when I first bit into my sandwich, I still thought it was delicious because I love pate, viet mayo, pickled carrots daikon, cilantro and jalapeños lol butttttt then I realized I didn't bite into any meat. I was waiting for that crispy crunchy satisfaction and juicy tender meat. I opened up my sandwich and saw those 3 sad soggy little pieces of pork belly :,) fairly, I felt disappointed. It did make me think, I'm probably going to stop going to banh mi oven. Right now the one thing that puts it over the other neighboring banh mi places is the fact that they do online orders. I have a problem when it comes to talking to ppl :) so out of comfort and anxiety relief, I appreciate the choice to order online. My advice, don't fix what's not broken. Whatever type of meat you like from a certain restaurant, stick to it. I will most likely go back to my regular order from banh mi oven but not for awhile. I'm going to give them time to figure out their groove since their move. I was also not okay with the fact that when I walked into the store, there was open boxES of baguettes. Immediately wondered if it was old bread being thrown away or bread that was shipped to the store... either way, I feel like bread shouldn't be left in open boxes by an open door??

    I love banh mi!! My BFF brought me here when I had a super craving for a sammy! I got the B17. Fried tofu sandwich and he got the teriyaki chicken sandwich. They were hot, fresh, ready, even at 8:30pm on a Sunday night! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance is giving my Auntie's kitchen vibes and it is cozy on the patio![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I love the Minion with the sandwich statue, so charming![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I definitely recommend coming here and supporting small businesses

    I ordered the small size Char Siu pork banh mi, but unfortunately was disappointed. I will say for the price, it was a pretty good size, as the roll itself is small, but they stuff the roll very full so it ends up being plenty! The char siu pork did not have enough char siu flavor for me and tasted more like a salt and pepper pork. I also wished there was more veggies versus meat, as it was like 90% meat, 10% veggies. My banh mi also did not have any jalapeños or daikon, so it was only the carrot and minimal cilantro and cucumber. I do appreciate how many banh mi options this place had so everyone would be able to find something they'd like, but I have had better.

    My family loves a good bánh mì and the bánh mì here are exceptionally good. I love that you can place your order online and customize each sandwich as you please. The variety of sandwiches you can choose from is insane. You can order familiar favorites or try something completely new. While everyone in my family stuck to the more traditional bánh mìs, I ordered the ham and cheese sandwich ($11) because what better way to enjoy a ham and cheese than to eat it in a baguette. The sandwich comes with ham, a fried egg, egg mayo, soy sauce + pepper. I just really love eating eggs in a baguette and the egg mayo or aioli + soy sauce just made it that much better. They bake their bread in house and it's a damn good baguette - chewy soft inside with a nice crusty exterior. We ordered for a big group and all the sandwiches were hits. Plus you basically get a foot long baguette for ten dollars. In fact, it's so substantial that you can split a sandwich between two people. Highly recommend getting a sandwich from here if you're looking for a quick and easy meal.

    I enjoyed my meal from here. We ordered in a group, and since everybody had different vegetable preferences, we got the veggies on the side. The restaurant packaged everything up generously and securely in plastic bags and paper wrappers. I got the grilled pork banh mi I'm a half size, which was quite sizeable especially when bulked up with veggies. I really liked the meat texture and flavor. The bread was good, but not the freshest that I've ever had. I'd definitely come back - the price, quality, and portions are all solid. I love the option to do a half sandwich, and online ordering is easy.

    I have been craving delicious Bánh Mi sandwich and I have found my spot. Menu has lots of different sandwiches that come in 2 sizes. I got the small pork banh mi with everything for $5. It was very delicious sandwich. My only complaint is that they don't have regular drinks like water and soda. They only have specialty Vietnamese drinks

    Pork terrain with egg

    I wouldn't recommend coming here. The egg isn't even an egg. The eggs taste like hotel breakfast egg where it comes out of a carton. Honestly thought this place would have been good but they literally forgot the pickle daikon which I was most excited for. The prices are more expensive than others. Should have went to duc houng. :(

    Got a grilled pork banh mi. It was pretty mediocre. Super bready, and the bread was not particularly fresh. $10.95 (with tax, using cash) makes it one of the most expensive banh mis in the area. Can't say I recommend. Service is good!

    Grilled string tofu Banh Mi
    Fatima S.

    This place is a great choice if you're looking for a filling meal with good flavor and a reasonable price. However, please note that it's only suitable for takeout. As a vegetarian, I appreciate that they have more than one Banh Mi option, and to be honest, both that I tried had quite a bit of flavor. The venue is tiny but well-lit, clean, and staffed with welcoming people. I savored a grilled string tofu Banh Mi in a small size featuring marinated string tofu and egg mayo. I also had a small char siu string tofu Banh Mi, which included sweet red BBQ string tofu and egg mayo. I will come back to explore more of its menu.

    Philip W.

    I am always looking for new places to try banh mi, and since I am in San Jose, why not? I went to a place called Banh Mi Oven. What I noticed was that this place makes its pate and mayo. Not only that, the bread was fresh. When I went in the mid-afternoon, only one person was working, and it was a good thing it was slow. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is also like a small store selling some chill oil and snacks.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

A local friend from San Jose took me here as it's the only place his family ,(originally from Vietnam) will go out to eat. After trying their Bun Moc I see why? The rice roll (noodle) was thin and delicate. Doused in fish sauce and chili paste to taste, this dish hits all the notes. Sweet, spicy, sour, acid, bitter and umami! This sampler plate has 4 different type of Vietnamese sausage including my new favorite with cinnamon! Two types of stuffing inside the rice rolls ,(pork and seafood) and is served with a fried spring roll and a taro and potato pancake. It's a humble looking eatery packed with locals speaking in Vietnamese so you know it is good. Seems to be a family restaurant too!

    Came back after several years and unfortunately this didn't hit the same as I remembered…read more Since my original review, I've gone back to Vietnam and apparently made bánh cuốn my unofficial research project. Between Saigon and Hanoi, I went on a full-blown bánh cuốn quest, trying different spots almost daily. Street stalls, little hole-in-the-wall shops, famous spots--you name it. At some point I stopped being a tourist and became a rice-roll inspector. So yeah... my standards are unfortunately very high now. The best bánh cuốn I had in Vietnam was paper thin and almost translucent, with this delicate chew that somehow breaks apart and melts in your mouth. That's the texture I'm chasing. Coming back here, the rice sheets were noticeably thicker and didn't have that same delicate texture. They also weren't as fresh and warm as I remembered, which makes a huge difference with bánh cuốn. This is one of those dishes that's at its best when the sheets are freshly steamed and hit your table warm. The meat filling was also underwhelming and not nearly as flavorful or savory as another bánh cuốn spot I've had in San Jose. With a dish this simple, there's nowhere to hide--the rice sheet, filling, freshness and nước mám chấm (fish sauce) all have to work together. It's certainly not bad, and I can understand why people enjoy it. But after eating my way through Saigon and Hanoi in pursuit of the perfect bánh cuốn, this one is kinda meh for me now. My old review gave this place 4 stars. Vietnam ruined me.

We've probably eaten here 50+ times with family and friends, and one thing I can say is that they are 100% consistent. We've never had a bad meal here. There's a great variety of Vietnamese dishes, so everyone can usually find something they like. The chả cá (fish) is one of their popular dishes and a favorite. They also have good chicken phở, broken rice, vermicelli noodles, spring rolls, roll-your-own options, and plenty of soups beyond phở. You can order individual dishes or share family-style, which makes it especially easy when coming with a group. It's very casual, family-friendly, quick, and straightforward--nothing fancy and probably not where I'd choose for a date night. But for a dependable meal with family or friends, it's a great spot. Kids like it, parents like it, and my mom likes it--which says a lot coming from an older Vietnamese person who knows her Vietnamese food! The staff is always efficient and nice, and after all these years, the food remains consistently good. The biggest downside is parking. The entire shopping center has become so busy with restaurants that finding a spot can be overwhelming, especially during peak hours. Also, keep in mind they do not take credit cards. Bring cash, or you can pay electronically through options such as Zelle/Venmo. Overall, this is one of those longtime neighborhood restaurants we keep coming back to because we know exactly what we're going to get: good Vietnamese food, plenty of choices, friendly service, and consistency.

Definitely coming back to try their pho and loved the fish entree. The fish entree is $10 cheaper on Wednesdays as advertised outside on the door.
