To be honest, I was going to Lang Van down the street but they were closed for the 4th of July holiday. But I'm glad I came here. I had two very good banh mi sandwiches and a pomegranate tea. The seating area was small but clean. I'm not from Charlotte but this neighborhood looks to be in transition and a homeless man came in to the dining room while I was there asking for help from the customers. He then approached the counter asking for food and they offered him a chicken sandwich and a drink. He was hungry and they fed him. Blessings on this business. read more

Crispy Banh Mi - Summer Rolls Virmecelli noodle bowl (grilled chicken - Sandwiches Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Food is trash DO NOT GO THERE !!!!gave us 2 day old bread with our sandwiches . We ordered summer rolls counter person never said they ran out of peanut sauce. Fish sauce tasted my sea water, Egg rolls were old and not fried fresh, the Vietnamese coffee tasted like horchata is was so weak. The Hispanic woman with piercings on her face had an attitude. read more

My partner and I ordered the classic bahn mi and a grilled pork bahn mi- both had amazing flavor and were stuffed full with meat and garnished with pickled veg and cilantro. The bread was warm and crispy on the outside but warm on the inside. Both sandwiches were delicious and maybe the best bahn mi ive had in charlotte. We ordered the crispy quail for an appetizer since they were out of chicken wings when I went- the flavor of the quail is phenomenal truly. I might prefer the crispy quail at lang van a bit more but it's really not a huge difference. We also ordered the salty lemon juice- which is made with preserved lemons so there is a tangy funky flavor to it that is salty and a little briny and I LOVED it. It was such a unique type of lemonade and it paired so well with the fatty richness of the bahn mi. My partner wasn't a big fan though- so just know this might not be everyone's favorite drink. He stuck with the classic Thai tea- and we have tried probably dozens of thai teas from around the charlotte area and this one easily is maybe the best Thai tea. The color is a vibrant orange, it's creamy, the tea flavor is rich and not watered down in the slightest. Hands down recommend and I will be trying more items on their menu read more

Really good Banh Mi at the location on South Blvd. The sandwiches are delicious usually with a good balance of fillings to toppings. The cucumber slices are sometimes a bit thicker than needed, and I'm a lover of fresh jalapeños so I never complain when there's a little extra heat. The folks at the counter are always friendly and answer questions and will make recommendations if you need help. Everything is fresh, delicious and reasonably priced. Worth a visit. Get an extra, because it always seems like it's appropriate for a snack later. Good stuff! read more

Get the quail!!! I've had their pork rolls, their quail, and the cajun fries. Makes me wish they added more quail to a single order. They're addicting to eat. read more

When I crave a Banh Mi, this is my absolute go-to! They have such a good selection and all of their veggies are always so fresh. They also have a very wide menu of bubble tea. The place is not beautiful on the outside and doesn't have much seating, but it hasn't stopped me from visiting and dining in. The food comes up quick, so definitely an ideal grab and go place. Check it out if you're in the mood for a banh mi! read more

Crispy Banh Mi - Crispy's Favorite Sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Fast and friendly service. One of my favorite places to get milk teas!! Always on point!

Some of the freshest vegetables I have had In a long time with prices you can actually afford, everything was filling and the sides where huge! I will say the fries where cooked in the same oil as the fish and you could tell by the taste (why it's 4 stars) the service was amazing and everyone was very friendly, I highly recommend for a quick meal after work or if your local to try read more

The food was very fresh, especially the veggies super nice staff, and quick! Glad I tried it out.

Crispy Banh Mi - Crispy Fried Fish Sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Crispy Banh Mi - Sandwiches Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Food is very underwhelming. Went there for Valentines dinner. My partner and I were severely disappointed. By the pictures I thought this would a lovely place to take my fiance to celebrate the holiday. The drinks were very watery and did not taste correct. We had to send the first round back and just gave up and drank whatever they supposedly gave us. Ok onto the important part. The food came out and wow let me tell you our rice was bland, mushy, and not cooked well. The fish turned out to be ok which is saying much and not nearly as good as even your standard chain restaurant. The chicken tasted normal but was very mushy. The vegetables didn't seem fresh and again very dry and soaked in sauce. We ate majority of it but looking at each other with blank stares. We had just finished working out few hours earlier with high expectations of this place The best part of the experience was the patio and the decor. The fire pit was nice and there were quite a few couples surrounding us celebrating the evening as well. My waitress forgot my fork and I waited about 15 minutes for her to bring one out while my date waited for me. She literally forgot me while the food was starting to turn cold. It was not overbooked and truly we both were flat out disappointed. We had 2 drinks, 1 appetizer, and two relatively normal fish/chicken course meal that cost us around $110 with tip. I've had much better meals for half the price and just as nice if not better experience Oh by the way the men's bathroom was poorly cleaned and not working. Yikes. Talk about a pure disaster. Will not becoming back to this one. I don't know how they score so highly on their reviews because at best this is a 2 star experience solely based on the decor and ambience the place brings to the table. Not recommended to anyone looking for good service or high quality food. This place is a very hard pass going forward read more

Crispy Banh Mi - a woman sitting at a table with sandwiches - Sandwiches Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Best sandwiches !!! And very efficient staff and place. Got crispy pork banh mi and the mango tea and it was amazing.

Haven't been here in 2 years so I decided to order 8 sandwiches ($60+) togo with the veggies on the side since I live 2+ hours away. I was highly disappointed that the bread was stale and barely had any meat in the sandwiches. The quality has gone down at this location :( read more

Delicious! Whole family enjoyed the BahnMi-! Fresh and so tasty! Barely got to restaurant before closing, but so glad I did!

This review is strictly for their che/dessert selection: My go-to place for che! I always go for the che Thai. They do not skimp out on any of the fruits or jellies and their che is the perfect amount of sweetness. They also ask if you want your che with or without ice and if you say without ice, they STILL don't skimp out on their portions. I believe one portion is more than enough for one person and it's decently priced. Service is prompt and efficient! I'd recommend them for all of your che/dessert needs. read more

Crispy Banh Mi - 2. Che Thai - Sandwiches Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

This place is a true unassuming gem for Vietnamese food and is home to my favorite spring rolls in the whole of Charlotte! Ordering is always quick and easy (you can call in or order online) and the rolls are ready to pick up within 10 minutes. They have a well-oiled machine in that establishment...you can see the kitchen crew making hundred of springs rolls in the back, and the rolls are hearty, filling, and affordable (with each roll at about $5). There are a couple of tables to dine in though, I've only gotten my food to go. I find that this area doesn't have much freshly made food, so Crispy Bahn Mi was definitely a welcomed find for me. read more

Crispy Banh Mi - Fresh roll and grilled beef roll, to-go! - Sandwiches Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

THIS PLACE IS A MUST TRY! It's a great place to grab-n-go or have a quick bite there. Staff is Quick and Friendly. The crispy fish banh mi is perfecto! The bread is soft and not heavy, veggies are fresh and crispy, fish fried perfectly with a great sauce to top it off. I also tried the beef which is good too; beef is a little to sweet for my liking but still was delicious. The Fried Tofu is a Must Try ALSO! Be careful extremely hot when it is served for 1st few minutes. It's so garlicky with a great texture! read more

Crispy Banh Mi - Crispy's Favorite Sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Crispy Banh Mi is easily one of my favorite restaurants in Charlotte, all you have to do is look at my check ins. It's embarrassingly high at their original location. What's not to love? The menu is expansive. It seems like they are always adding menu items. Great place for boba, grass jelly drinks, smoothies, Vietnamese coffee and my favorite Thai tea. They have the best Thai tea around. Now the pleasantries are over, let's get to the brass tax. They are open at 930am. You can get a grilled pork Banh Mi at 930 in the freakin' morning. They have french fries. And fresh rolls. Everything is under $10. Sandwiches are like $5. Great value and great prices. All this typing makes me want a Thai tea. read more

Yo this place is pretty tight. Kitschy for my taste but I don't really mess with boba or smoothies much. Sandwiches are on point. Good bread and veggies, cheap, and you can put eggs on any sandwich at any time of day... What else is there friends? Coffee and milk tea are bomb, haven't tried the noodles but I'm sure they bang too--always people with time on their hands getting down on some vermicelli. Yeah, if you're rushing across town and don't feel like getting caught up on either side of independence, pull off at the shamrock light and take a beat. Y'all welcome. read more

I stopped in hungry for dinner. While I was prompted to try one of their sandwiches, I was looking for something different. I settled on a chicken noodle bowl. I was promptly advised that this was not a soup. The bowl was ready in less than 10 minutes. The chicken was seasoned well, sliced, and served with rice noddles, cucumbers, daikon (a sweet crunch vegetable), and lettuce and carrots. The fish sauce, used as a dressing, had a nice favor to it. The dish was right up my alley and was filling but would likely leave room for dessert for someone who eats a lot more than me. The restaurant serves a variety of smoothies (diary based) and slushies (juice based), and a wide variety of desserts. The photos are quite interesting and perhaps, I will try one when I am in the area on a hot day. read more

Great Bahn Mi!! But service was not great on my last experience. I had my family in town and was really excited to show them this restaurant. However, when I got home I realized they didn't give us our full order. When I drove back up there they were unapologetic. An apology would've gone a long way. read more

We've only had the sandwiches, so can only speak to them. Not exactly "traditional" Bahn Mi but tasty. The bread was more like a hot dog bun toasted and "crispy". The veggies were nicely laid out and there was just the right amount of thinly sliced meat. We could have used one more sandwich (3 or 4 for two hungry adults.) Takeout service was ok, not very friendly though. The interior had all the charm of a run-down last century Burger King, but we weren't there for the scenery. No outdoor seating either. read more

Crispy Banh Mi - Grilled Pork Sandwich-- note size in my small hand - Sandwiches Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Lives up to the hype! I had a pork Banh Mi. The bread was fresh as were all the vegetables. The pork was tender- not at all dry or grisly. They left off the jalapeños, as I'd requested. The summer rolls were perfect- and it was all ready faster than any "fast" food restaurants! read more

This is my favorite place for banh mi. They have the best grilled pork (#4 thit nuong) banh mi in Charlotte. My husband favorite is the grilled pork patties (#8 nem nuong), don't get the grilled chicken banh mi though, it's very dry and doesn't have much flavor to me. Their dessert drinks are too sweet for me. I do like the smashed avocado (#6 bo dam) but I like to substitute the rainbow jelly for the coffee jelly! It's so goooood that way! Reminds me of the smashed avocado from Bambu in Atlanta. read more

The grilled chicken was good. If I go back, I will not order green tea again. They do not do refills for green tea. I can see no refills for their specialty tea, but this was not a specialty tea. read more

Ballantyne location has always been 5 stars for me. Was close to the Shamrock location so I stopped by..... service matches the area. Workers acted so slow and clueless for an online pick up order. read more

Love that Cripsy Banh Mi has vegetarian options! The bread isn't a typical Banh Mi baguette, but a little softer. But what's in between this bread is pretty great and definitely delivers on the flavor. There's jalapeño, cilantro, cucumber, pickled daikon & carrots. The vegetarian version comes with a marinated seitan. I usually add avocado & egg, and extra veggies - these vegetables are really what make this Banh Mi great! The sandwich is a well-sized portion and makes a hearty meal for one. I've also tried one of their appetizers, the fried tofu, which is pretty good. But I would pass on the beverages here - both the Vietnamese coffee and the Tea were not great. Overall, this is a consistently good sandwich place with good value for money. read more

One day I finally got fed up of the line and lack of seating at Le's Sandwiches and Cafe and decided to try Crispy Banh Mi. While Crispy definitely has a better seating arrangement than Le's, it's certainly no comparison as far as the sandwich. The bread was VERY toasty/crunchy, to the point where it would probably be fair to consider it burnt. The flavor of the sandwich is okay. The meat is relatively mild, the sandwich doesn't have any discernible spice, and the carrots have a very prominent vinegar taste. The Thai tea is okay -- make sure to ask for boba as it does not automatically come with it. There's quite a bit of ice and flavor wise it's pretty much identical to the Thai teas you'd get at any other Asian restaurant. Price-wise, it's very inexpensive (~$18 for two Banh mis and two small Thai teas). Service was friendly and very fast. Overall, it's definitely no Le's but at least it has seating. read more

Delicious banh mis and the wings are great too. We usually get the banh mis, wings and fries and we're never disappointed

I came from out of town visiting from Florida and we have passed this place multiple times. Decided to stop in, and OMG! This is not a hidden gem but wow talk about some good food!very fresh bread for one and everything just followed suit I asked for extra jalapeños and it was on point. Added fish sauce to mine because I'm into that salty umami flavor! Whenever I come back I will be getting this again! read more

Crispy Banh Mi - Banh mi and Summer Rolls - Sandwiches Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

The bahn mi is okay, the fish was not that great and didn't taste fresh and it was a little tough but for $6.46 it wasn't too bad. I wasn't a huge fan of the sweet vegetables, I'm not sure what they put it in but it tastes like they put them in sugar water. I was surprised they didn't give some type of sauce or something because it's extremely dry. I've had bahn mi & I really enjoy them but I think I might just stick to the Bahn Mi Brothers because theirs always taste fresh and they always add sauce to it. I am willing to try this place again, their drinks look delicious & based on the popularity I may of just had an random "eh" experience. I def won't get the tilapia again. I may update the post later if I go back... read more

Summary: Delicious, fast, cheap, variety of options, random location My food was SO good. I got the vegetarian Bahn mi and added a fried egg (I definitely recommend this for $1). The bread was delicious and there was a perfect ratio of sliced tofu to pickled veggies. The eggs were perfectly crispy. I think this would be vegan if you ask them to omit the mayo. The fries were surprisingly great! Perfect crunch outside and fluffy inside. No sad soggy fries here! I can't wait to go back to try the huge array of dessert options and coffee/tea/smoothies. The summer rolls and fried tofu sounded tasty too. I never woulda found this hidden gem of it wasn't for YELP. It's in kind of a sketchy area, but there's a private parking lot and the inside of the restaurant is clean and pretty. Loved the wood dining tables and fresh cut flowers. Good example of not judging from the outside- the inside would be good for date night! The staff is very friendly and helpful. read more

Wow..this place is insanely delicious. Nothing fancy, hole in the wall looking, but absolutely tasty sandwich. Due to COVID they are only doing pick up or delivery. I ordered online and then drove to pick it up. Most all sandwiches are $5.95. I ordered the pork BBQ Banh mi sandwich and wow, that pork was tender! Especially when I got a piece of the fat on the pork...melt in your mouth. When I looked at the sandwich I was surprised at how skinny it was and thought it might not fill me up. I was wrong. It was the perfect amount. I was full but would've eaten more because it was so good. Need a Bahn Mi fix? Look no further if you are in the area. My sandwhich+tax+tip was $7.12. Cant beat it. They have a lot of great looking teas/juice/coffee that I would like to try next. read more

Easy to order delivery. I had the grilled chicken banh mi and added pate for an additional 25 cents.

Everything was delicious and fresh. read more
