I had their shredded pork with skin Bánh mì with hot Vietnamese milk coffee thought both were pretty good. The sandwich could have had a little more pork but the veggies were fresh and tasty as well. The baguette has a nice crunchy crust that seemed to hit a sweet spot for being crunchy but not overly hard. The coffee seemed well balanced - not too sweet as is often the case. Staff was friendly and politely waited as I perused the menu and made my choice. The prices are VERY reasonable! Really nice to see Bánh mì prices roughly at half the price of sit-down restaurants. read more

I honestly didn't like this location... it's hard to get parking and they don't have as many options as their other locations. It is clean though. read more

Best Baguette - It's clean for being downtown - Sandwiches Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Best Baguette has always been solid. I didn't know they had this PSU location, which was super convenient when staying nearby. Instead of boring high priced brunch spots, we grabbed our chicken banh Mi from Best Baguette and walked around in the beautiful weather. They are generous with the Mayo, quick, and so good! read more

My husband, in laws and I stopped here for some food on the way out of town, and it was so disappointing. I also don't know why it says they're closed today because they certainly were open when we went about ten minutes or so ago. I asked my SIL to get me a banh mi thit nuong and when she came back out with it, it was seriously lacking in meat. They also put the veggies on the side for some reason. As I was biting into the banh mi, I was getting mouthfuls of just bread. Also, what little meat there was in there was very bland. My husband got a hot breakfast sandwich and the ham that was in it was cold to the touch. Do yourself a favor and just avoid this place. It's not worth the price and disappointment. read more

Grilled Pork Banh Mi for $6.50? Yes please! Good banh mi, fast service and at a reasonable price. It's a win all around. The bread was warm with a crusty flaky exterior and fluffy soft interior. The grilled pork was well seasoned and generously filled the bread from end to end. Together with the jalapeño and pickled veggies, this was a delicious sandwich. Such a great find at PSU. read more

Good prices for great banhmi sandwiches. Glad to see there's a Best Baguette location downtown. Been going to their other locations for a few years now. Service is quick and friendly. In and out in 5 min no line. read more

Best Baguette - 28. Teriyaki Chicken Sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I ordered five of the pork sandwiches and one Asian chicken salad do not order the chicken salad. They just chopped the lettuce and they give you a tiny bit of pork that's like grilled teriyaki and then put like three mandarin oranges on top and then give you a tiny bit of salad dressing on the side. It was horrible. Don't order that but the sandwich amazing as always so I can't give this a zero review but I can only tell you do not order the salad. read more

Best Banh Mi I've had--hands down. Yeah, it's a bit of a trek, but totally worth it. The bread is perfect, the flavors are dialed, and they nail it every time. Wish it were closer, but maybe the craving makes it taste even better. read more

Never got to try them before the pandemic but now they're back! A great spot to grab-and-go. Also very college student friendly prices. Split a Sweet Chicken Banh Mi and honestly half of one was more than enough for me. Fresh ingredients, great protein to bread ratio. What's not to like! Will definitely be checking them out again. read more

First Bahn Mi for me and it was pretty good and very reasonably priced. I got the #1 house special. No line when I went, so super quick and in and out in a couple of minutes. The bread is that super crispy crust that breaks when you bite into it with the nice fluffy inside. (A bit messy to eat with the crumbs). A nice taste and while I'd like a bit more meat, it was all balanced equally. For me personally, I'd skip the little bit of cilantro as it's not my favorite. Overall, definitely a place I'd go to again for a quick lunch. read more

Cheap and fast, I ordered a then it's freshly made I was in and out in like 5 mins. Places is somewhat busy with college kids at noon but easily served in the down time. read more

Very tasty bahn mi and friendly staff. The service is really fast. I do wish the baguette was a little less dry otherwise it's good.

This location is smaller than their flagship location on SE Powell, but taste is the same. The line usually reaches the door, but they are very efficient. Sandwiches and drinks are a decent value, the steamed buns maybe a touch expensive. Bread is warm, fresh and toasty. The Vietnamese style pulled pork banh mi was good, I'm looking forward to working the speciality sandwich menu. All three bao versions were also good, the veggie was better than expected. Of course my favorite - egg whites, cheese and avocado on an excellent croissant - is the most expensive item on the menu. :-( read more

Best Baguette - Ate the other half of this delicious Vietnamese style pulled pork before I could snap a photo. - Sandwiches Near Me - Portland, Oregon

This is Best Baguette's newest Portland location that is built into the Karl Miller building at PSU. Like their location in Beaverton, they serve bahn mi sandwiches, Vietnamese coffee, blended drinks, fresh baked goods, bubble tea, bottled drinks, and they have a small assortment of desserts . They also have French (ham and cheese), breakfast, and croissant sandwiches. The only thing that might be a problem is how much smaller it is (there is very little seating), since PSU tends to get a lot of traffic. Order: # 5 Grilled Beef Bahn Mi($4.35)-- A bahn mi sandwich with grilled beef, carrots, cilantro, jalapeños, and another yet to be identified vegetable. Absolutely delicious! The meat was so tender and full of flavor, the vegetables tasted fresh, and the bread wasn't super hard. Lavender Milk Tea w/ Boba($4.50)-- The boba definitely wasn't my favorite, it was way too soft. But I did like the drink itself, it had just the right amount of sweetness. Service: Great, the male cashier with glasses greeted me right away. Wait time: ~3 minutes. Bill: $ read more

Great spot for a quick and cheap banh mi! 6$ is hard to beat no a days anywhere and we'll worth it. Go for the #1 special, you won't regret it! read more

My friend got a sandwich here, and pressed up against the bread inside the sandwich was this little guy. I don't know what type of bug he is, but I would NOT recommend this place unless you're fine with eating bugs in your food. I prefer my protein to come from known sources. read more

Best Baguette - A bug!! - Sandwiches Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Baguettes are yummy! Completely enjoyed mine! Will return soon! The bread may be the best part!!

I love the bubble tea here! The sandwiches are not really my type of sandwiches but that's personal taste. Just not used to that type of food. I've had no issues up until they put a young woman working cash register. She was really sarcastic and rude. She rolled her eyes when I asked for Lychee instead of boba. I didn't feel welcome They have good food at good prices but unfortunately always end up with rude cashiers. Specifically a young lady with blonde tips in her hair that was working this afternoon (12/16). She was very snarky and rude. read more

I came by here for a teriyaki chicken sandwich. I'd say the bread was pretty tasty and had a nice mix of pickles. It was sort of light on the chicken, but that wasn't unexpected. The service was friendly and fast. I'd say great place to stop for an inexpensive snack. read more

Best Baguette - 28. Teriyaki Chicken Sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I ended up eating here primarily because I was disappointed to find that Cuon and Lu Lac DID NOT have a Banh Mi Dac Biet on their menu, which came as a surprise to me because that's the most authentic banh mi you can get. I was pleased to find Best Baguette had it and I was pleasantly surprised at how tasty it was and how it reminded me of home. I also like that the prices are reasonable for the working class. Cuon and Lu Lac are overpriced and the hype far outweighs the authenticity and taste of the food. This place deserves a higher rating in my book. I got the Banh mi dac biet and the Banh bao. Banh mi dac biet - 4/5 Banh bao - 2/5 read more

I am so glad they opened a Best Baguette on PSU campus! Delicious Vietnamese Banh Mi sandwiches at an affordable price. Perfect for when you're on run, but don't really want fast food. I really like getting the grilled chicken or dac biet (special - ham, pate, pork roll). You can also purchase just the baguette bread. A bag of 5 is ~$4. Great for dipping into chili on cold and rainy Portland days, or for making your own sandwiches at home. They've got other Vietnamese food items here that I have been meaning to try, like their Bao and coffee and Che (dessert). read more

How can such a simple sandwich be so good? At this point I've probably had just about every sandwich on the menu. I tend to stick with the same three most of the time now. The three are: #1 Dac Biet, #5 grilled beef, #4 grilled pork. The #1 Dac Biet is the quintessential banh mi, you can find it at any banh mi shop in town, but rarely will you find it for $4.25. Although the price has climbed in the past few years, it is still a steal, especially considering it is in a new building, on the PSU campus, in downtown. The #1, since it is mostly made of processed foods, keeps and reheats the best. If I am getting a sandwich for later, which I will most likely need to reheat, this is the one I get with the veggies on the outside. If I am getting a sandwich to eat on the spot, it will either be the grilled beef or the grilled pork. You can't go wrong with either, and due to the marinade, they have a fairly similar flavor profile. One sandwich is never really enough, two is a little too much. So your best bet is to get three sandwiches, that way you can eat 1.5 now and 1.5 later for another meal. read more

First off, this place OOZES value. A huge sandwich, plenty for a hearty lunch, will run you about $5. Another $2 will get you a BBQ Ham Bao. pretty much all the food here is a great price, and the drinks, while not as crazy affordable, won't break the bank. However, the cost-saving cuts both ways, as the dingy, tight interior and subpar service gives the whole place a rather dirty feel. Further, while you get $8 of bun and veggies in your fiverr sandwich, you are still left with just a buck of meat. That is to say, the portions of meat are SKIM-PY. Still, I've come here several times, and will continue to do so in the future, and for anyone looking for a quick grab and go lunch in the area, especially students, I'll recommend it. read more

The staff pretty much doesn't care, closes early, and luckily doesn't make decisions beyond that

I go here all the time because I live and work downtown. I always get their veggie bahn mi for like less than $4.50! So delish with veggies and tofu inside. I love it! Fast service and friendly, not fancy but very yummy!! I highly recommend if you are hungry but on a budget. read more

Best Baguette - 12. Asian Vegetable Sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I'm not sure if it's the location of this place but I was highly disappointed because I had been to another location with the same expectations.. this one is located by PSU, a smaller building. The interior was pretty dirty, reminded me of a gas station.. food on the floors - I didn't want to look in the back of the little shop but I did. They had the cilantro just in a huge pile on what looked like a sink, just kinda hanging over the area. I was hesitant on ordering anything but myself and coworker had walked all the way over from our work building and I was afraid I wouldn't have had time to go somewhere else and wait for food. So I ended up getting the BBQ Pork Banh Mi.. well it turned out to be a carrot sandwich and about 3 strips of meat. It was only $4.50 so I wasn't that upset, I kinda got what I paid for in a sense. The cilantro was fresh and the bread was good. Together the sandwich wasn't that bad for the cost, after I scraped out most of the carrots of course. I also got chicken salad rolls and those weren't that bad. Chicken was bland and the peanut sauce was more hoisin than peanut but it wasn't terrible. I won't be making another trip back though. read more

Good food as usual in all 3 locations, Beaverton, Portland SE and PSU. Don't expect any service since I always order to go.

Delicious food, great prices and very fast service great for a college student on a budget.

Great baguettes, especially like the Special at only $5.95. Quick ordering at the drive through. Coffee and juices also very tasty.

So I've only had Best Baguette twice and the first time I tried the special (i believe it's number 1) which wasn't too great. I recently went again last week to give it another chance and was very happy with my order this time! I got the grilled pork sandwich which was under 5 dollars which is a steal for a sandwich that's as long as your forearm. I wasn't expecting a lot of meat, but there was plenty and the pork was flavorful and had that charred, lemongrass-y sweet flavor that you find at vietnamese restaurants. Plenty of veggies and cilantro as well! The bread is awesome and I think is what makes this place so popular. Crispy on the outside, chewy, soft and airy on the inside.. delicious and filling but never leaves you feeling too heavy and like you just carb-loaded. For a cheap, fast lunch around the PSU campus, I'd say this place is great! Only downside is there's only a few spots to sit inside but it's connected to the business building at PSU so you could sit at the tables/stairs in there but they're usually all full during lunch time anyway. I'm excited to try other menu items here as well! read more

Best Baguette - 4. Grilled Pork Sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I feel bad for giving 3 stars to a Vietnamese owned business, but I have to be honest. This location can't compare to the one on 82nd. They don't serve the vegetables on the side, skimp out on the meat so it's mostly bread and veggies, and the banh mi is barely warm. Teas are so-so. Overall, not terrible -go for the grilled beef, grilled pork, or the special (my favorite) sandwiches- but only go if you only want to grab a quick snack. Prices are high for what you get. Don't be fooled by the cheapness, I would rather spend a couple more bucks for something filling from a food cart -at least I'd be getting my money's worth. As a banh mi connoisseur, I feel like they just don't do it justice. read more

Great veggie sandwich if you're hungry on PSU's campus. It comes wrapped so you can walk and eat or shove it in a bag.

Customer service was fantastic! Incredibly friendly staff. As far as the sandwiches go they were not the best I've had but were incredibly budget friendly and tasty. I loved loved this rice dessert they have their I would go back for that alone! If I'm not mistaken I think we spent under 20 bucks for two sandwiches and two desserts and two drinks! FANTASTIC DEAL!!! read more
