Counter where you order
Julianne G.

Great bahn mi and drinks near SW Henderson and 35th. Small counter where you can place your order on a POS machine or order ahead for pickup. There is a small area with stools for seating but pretty small, so we got our sandwiches and went to the beach to eat them. My son had been here before so he ordered for us. We got the pork bahn mi. Plenty of meat on a nice soft but chewy roll. Not hard like other bahn mis in the area. Mayo and a great brown sauce that is basically liquid caramelized onion lol. Plenty of cilantro, julienne carrots and fresh jalapeño which tones down the sweet flavor of the pork. We didn't get cucumbers because my son said they make the sandwich soggy, too many seeds and makes the sandwich too thick and unmanageable. I can't speak to that. I just did what he told me to do based on his experience. It's definitely a hefty sandwich though with plenty of meat, and I couldn't finish it. Service: Can't really say too much either way, because it's really a hands off place where you place your order on the machine and just wait for your goods. For me the pork was a tad sweet and the only reason I gave 4 stars. But if I go again I will try a different meat. However, the veggies are so fresh and good, I recommend you give this place a try for sure!!

Phenomenal Food!

The banh mi is phenomenal. The rolls are amazing. They have very great food. The pho was great, but due to ridiculous rules they won't be carting this anymore. We need to do something about the city planning and allow people to have more freedom. The food is phenomenal and I've not had a better Banh Mi in this city!! Go!

The Banh Mis here are flavor-packed, generously sized, and very affordable. They don't skimp on the meat or the pickled vegetables! While the pork had a few tougher pieces, the chicken Banh Mi was absolutely the standout. The ordering process is seamless via a self-service kiosk, and there are stools along the perimeter if you prefer to dine in. I visited during the dinner rush, and my food was ready in about 15 minutes. Highly recommended!

Most people would know that the best banh mi is found in either Little Saigon or South Seattle, but Banh Mi Xo is truly worth the drive to West Seattle for some high quality delicious banh mi! My roommate and I got the chance to try Banh Mi Xo last week, both of us ordering their special XO Deluxe Sandwich. It's a little more on the expensive side for banh mi in Seattle, but it's worth every dollar. This banh mi is HEFTY compared to others out there, each bite leaving me more and more filled. A good amount of meat and fresh vegetables all included in. The only thing I would say is that they mixed up our banh mi as my roommate ordered one with extra pate and I ordered the regular. It wasn't until after a few bites I had to say "oh man, this is delicious but this banh mi is loaded with pate". No worries though, small mistake. I also ordered their fresh lemonade, it's Vietnamese style which was super refreshing! There isn't too many places that serve Vietnamese style fresh lemonade, so I am glad they offer it. This location has limited seating and street parking only. It's very much a deli style kind of place, would recommend ordering a banh mi and eating it at any of the nearby West Seattle parks.

BBQ Pork Bahn Mi

I'm back in PNW and went to my favorite Bahn Mi place. Bahn Mi Xo on 35th Ave SW is still on my top place for Bahn Mi. I actually ordered their Grilled Shrimp Salad Bowl this time and let me tell you how tasty this was. The picture says it all. The noodles were thin, not thick and not clumping together like most I've come across, the shrimps were big and not those little ones you usually see, all the vegetables were also cut bigger to which you can actually see it and taste it, the peanuts weren't all small and crushed, the flavors was just spot on! That vinegar sauce it came with was not too sweet and not too sour, just a great balance for these types of salads. Of course I did order a BBQ Pork Bahn Mi to go and as always, it's been consistent from site to flavor. I haven't had anything mediocre in this place! To wash it all down was their strawberry smoothie, although I wouldn't call it a smoothie, more of an ice strawberry drink and that was refreshing. Fast service, nice ladies and a small space for eating inside, but clean and bright. I'm telling you, a must try, you can't go wrong at this place. Til next time PNW. Respectfully.

Outstanding bahn mi sandwich here! Big and bold, with super fresh ingredients and plenty of heat from the jalapeños. Service was quick and efficient and there's inside seating available. Overall a definite 5-star lunch experience.

Viet iced coffee
Liz M.

We pass by this spot each time on our way to our dog sitter and always wondered how good it was. We decided to stop by for lunch and ordered one combo, one pork Banh mi, and a viet iced coffee. Even though it was lunch, our food came out in less than 10 minutes. The combo banh mi was so delicious. The bread was nice and crispy on the outside, and soft on the inside. The deli meats inside were flavorful too, and love that you can add pate to any sandwich. The viet iced coffee color was on point and it was strooong (how I like it). It could wake up someone from a coma - but still had a nice coffee, chocolately flavor. We will definitely be back for more when we are on this side of West Seattle again!

It's a grilled pork banh mi , the pork came out completely charred

I've had banh mi from many places, but this was by far the worst experience I've ever had. I've never tried this shop before and honestly won't be coming back. The pork in my grilled pork banh mi was so burnt it looked like pieces of charcoal. I've attached a picture, no one should be served food like this. On top of that, the staff were unfriendly and didn't acknowledge me at all. No greeting, no smile, no eye contact, nothing. Just cold, dismissive service. If you care about your money, your time, or even just basic edible food, I'd seriously recommend going somewhere else.

BoxBar has been on our list of vegan places to try for forever and a day. We made it out that way…read morethis weekend and our experience lived up to everything we've heard about them!! The pasta was amazingly tender, cooked to perfection. There was a lot of flavor and depth in each bite, more of a deliciously earthy mac and cheese as opposed to maybe a velveety smooth creamy type. The Jalapeño poppers were amazing. I've always associated poppers with a crusted fried topping but these were bold, going in a different direction. The jalapeños were fresh and soft to the bite, easy to cut with the side of a fork, loaded with components such as cashew cheddar, crema, avocado sauce, sweet pickled jalapeños, pico and cabbage slaw - all coming together perfectly in each bite (i'm utilizing their menu description) For the main dish, Sandi ordered the "Smokey Barbecue" which came with a complimentary side of chips and I ordered the Portobello French Dip and upgraded my side to a Side Salad for an extra $4. Each dish, every bite was delicious, even something as simple as a side salad was elevated with their Ginger Tahini dresing. Dipping the Portobello Sandwich into the Dip was just .. magical. We also both opted for the same drink, South Park Mule. The drink was legit, in addition to tasting great, I actually had a buzz as well .. indicating to me they didn't skimp on the adult juice Their food is amazing across the board and there's so much more to go back and try! Definitely worth the trip!!

I'm updated my review to reflect a recent takeout dining experience…read more A couple weeks ago, we ordered 2 salads, and 2 sandwiches. We ordered pickup. Upon arrival to our house, the order was incorrect, whoopsie! We called back and the waiter who answered mentioned that we had accidentally taken a staff meal home. None of our to-go boxes were labeled. How could anyone know? This is a rookie mistake. It's been a while since this Goblin worked in food, but that's a non-negotiable. Especially given a place that prides itself on catering to restricted diets and lifestyles. This is exactly how you let a pumpkin seed slide into a seed allergy order. Instead of letting us keep the meal, she asked us to bring it back to the restaurant. We were happy to do so. Everyone deserves to eat. Should we have kept it for ourselves? We bring the food back, and the waiter explains that there was a mixup, and apologized. They handed us another to-go box (which wasn't labeled) and tried to end the conversation. "Have a good night!" We had to then explain to this waiter that our wives demanded something in return for the error, which was true. The waiter/bartender had a puzzled look on their face. Customer? Demanding I make something right? In my workplace?! A direct statement void of passivity about the quality of my service? With conditions? The audacity! We live in a world where we, the customer, bring back your incorrect order for you, waste our time, and we just get a, "thanks, have a good night!" This goblin had to claw his way up the ranks pillaging for gold which doesn't come easy. Everyone knows food cost in Seattle went up ~%46 since 2019. Wages haven't. We told the waiter our wives wanted a slice of cake. The waiter was shook by our audacity, and moved towards the fridge behind the bar to consult with two chefs who were shutting it down. We were arriving near/at close on a Monday. The other two chefs body language exuded "just give them the rest of the cake". There was a couple moments of pause and hushed conversation. The waiter pulled out a large serving plate with only a small chunk of Chocolate Mousse Cake left. Instead of putting that into a box, apologizing, and fixing the problem. They conferred about the legitimacy of our claim with the chefs. Hesitantly, they cut the cake into a small slice, put it in a box (which wasn't labeled) and handed it to us. What's hilarious is that they would leave such a small piece going into the next day of prep. Why not just 86 it right there? Why was it so hard for this person to acknowledge they made a mistake, and do something kind for us in return? The chefs clearly understood these fundamental building blocks of customer service, had they not been there in the front of house, I'm sure the waiter would've made an excuse to not remedy the situation. From all of my years in food service, if something is wrong, you make it right, end of story. By owning the error, you keep your integrity. Even a small gesture like 10% off one item, between the hours of 7:35pm- 7:45pm every third Monday, however inconsequential and trivial, makes people feel like you've made things right. These basics need to be addressed with FOH staff. With food cost nearing the price of rent each month in Seattle, customers should feel empowered to speak their mind respectfully. My only reason for going into excruciating detail is the hope that this can be a teaching moment, and more people can eradicate passivity. Passivity is a threat to community, culture, service, and so many other integral parts of our society. It's OK to disagree in public. It's OK to check someone. It's OK to tell your server "No, honestly, it wasn't that good, here's why..". When we deny the truth about our experiences for fear of disrupting the status quo, we withhold an essential part of building stronger, more diverse and resilient communities. "Goblin D, don't you think this is a bit too deep for a food review?" No, and if you've made it this far, the two stars are for the two chefs who made sure we got our cake.

I have been wanting to try this place for a while. I got the iced Cardi B (a latte with house-made…read morecardamom brown sugar syrup with espresso and almond milk) and my fiance an iced mocha. The first sip of the Cardi B, my eyes rolled back, and I nodded to how good it was. It's not too sweet (I ordered all of this online on their website for pick up and was not able to ask for it half sweet, but glad they didn't over-sweeten it). The cardamom flavor is prominent, so if you don't like that flavor, I'd choose something else. I also ordered some breakfast items. I got the Lil' Verda, which is a breakfast burrito on a flour tortilla with scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese, avocado, and salsa verde ( I also added sausage to it). It's pretty tasty! It's a big burrito for being on a medium flour tortilla. I got the fiancé a breakfast sandwich on a brioche bun (you can choose what bread you want; they even have gluten-free) that came with scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese, and I added bacon for him (adding a meat was only $2, which is reasonable). As I said, I pre-ordered everything on their online ordering system. My order was ready when I got there as promised. The staff member who helped me was super nice and pointed out where the hot sauce (Tapatio) and straws were. They do have separate windows for ordering and pickup. If you order online, just head to the pick-up window. It is a little spendy (breakfast sandwich w/ added meat $10.75, burrito w/ added sausage $12.75, and two espresso drinks at roughly $8 and some change), however, everything is going up in price (Gas is up to $5.09 +), so take that as you will. Overall, it's a cute little spot nestled in a neighborhood. There is street parking, but it's in an area that isn't too hard to find parking, as it is further away from the very busy spots of West Seattle. I'd come back, perhaps take the fiancée there so we can enjoy it fresh.

I really wanted to like this spot, but it was 50/50 for me. The weekend special Reuben croissant…read morewas fantastic but the breakfast burrito was not great. Also, the menu on the wall is not super helpful because there are no prices listed for the base breakfast sandwich or prices for additional fillings or toppings. So if you don't ask for prices or look online (there's a QR code on the menu, I apparently skipped over this when ordering), you might end up spending a good chunk of change for your breakfast sandwich. It's around $8.75 for the base (bread, eggs, cheese) + $2ish per filling/meat + $1-3 per topping + Sauces are $0.50 Reuben croissant: asked for this warmed and the outside of the croissant was flaky and delicious, meat was yum, sauerkraut added a nice texture and acidity, and there was a sauce in there was was tasty too! Really enjoyed this one Super burrito: comes with eggs, bacon, cheese, black beans, sour cream, avocado, and salsa. It was tough to find the bacon or taste it because it was cut in small pieces. The black beans were sweet and they overpowered the whole thing with sweetness. The arugula didn't add much and was kind of annoying because it was clumped in one bite and hard to chew through. The size was great, but that's about it unfortunately.
