    Storefront.
    Raymond H.

    Easy to miss this tiny gem if you aren't specifically on the lookout for it. Absolutely love the storefront and interior. S tier baguette. Clearly fresh and of immensely high quality. Great portion sizes for a reasonable price. We tried both the chicken and pork bahn mi and they were excellent. West Seattle sleeper.

    Classic Banh Mi
    Kim N.

    This tastes similar to Huynh Hoa in Vietnam! I love it because they give extra pate and butter haha. Each bite is literally so flavor so and the baguette is so crispy and soft. Definitely my new go to if I don't want to drive to Saigon deli in Chinatown The classic banh mi is around $11 and they have other bani mi and also combos as well. It's a pretty small store, but has 2 tables outside for sitting. You can either order at the tablet or at the counter. I would definitely recommend this place!

    grey, rainy post holiday sunday had me craving something that generated memories of far away. i realized a good bahn mi would really help the spirits but my go to place wasn't open so i turned to yelp to find a place with good reviews. turns out gion is spitting distance from where i work during the week, so this made me even more curious as it could become a place i could stop by for take out on my way home. i didn't order ahead but you can. i opted to walk in and they were busy making two separate orders for people who had paid and were waiting. there were also two other orders sitting waiting for pick up so this seemed like a good sign. i ordered and paid and less than 10 minutes later i was walking out with a hefty sized sandwich that i didn't think id be able to finish. i was wrong. the bread is crispy and fresh and the sandwich is full of veggies and usual bahn mi toppings. it was quite good and i appreciated the heat level of the jalapeños playing off the cooling effect of the carrots pickled daikon. the sandwich disappeared so you be the judge. i think i found a place i'll return to, for another sandwich and also one of their various flavored milk teas. definitely a neighborhood business that's probably best accessed on foot but i think there may be a poor pick up loading zone right out front. definitely choose take out as there are no tables and a very small counter if you're thinking of eating there but in my mind this would be a perfect place to hit up on a lovely weekend day before going down to alki and scarfing their flavorful creations down!

    If you're in West Seattle, this is a must for banh mi! Bread is crunchy and the sandwich is packed with filling. I got the classic and everything was fresh. I noticed that their classic has pork floss which isn't traditional but it added more favor to the sandwich. This place is more of a to-go spot with a few small tables outside. The good thing is there are so many parks close by that you can get to and enjoy your sandwiches. Service was good and the workers are friendly. Lines can get long but they do have a mobile order option available if you want to skip the line.

    Lemongrass Tofu Banh Mi

    The bahn mis were good, though perhaps a little bit understuffed? The drinks were fantastic. I'd recommend going less sweet than you normally do though for sugar in them. The server was lovely and brought everything out to where we were waiting outside with our dog. It's more grab and go with like two small outside tables and a bench and no indoor seating. If you want the tofu bahn mi to be vegetarian, make sure to tell them or click No Pate when you order.

    Classic Banh Mi extra pate (.50) and extra pickle (.75)

    My new favorite banh mi spot as a 2nd Gen Vietnamese. I'm always looking for a banh mi đặc biệt (classic banh mi) and I just found my favorite 1000000/10 - Classic Banh Mi: I got the classic with extra pate (+.50) and extra pickled veg (+.75) and inhaled it. This is literally the perfect banh mi ‍ 7/10 - Chicken Banh Mi: this was pretty good and the chicken was really juicy but I prefer a super lemongrassy chicken $38.85 for 1 thai tea, 2 banh mis- both with extra pate and veg & a tip! Will absolutely be returning.

    This is the BEST bahn mi in Seatlle! The breD is so crunchy, light and airy. The bahn mi is also filled with marinated meat and veggies. I love the combo deal they have where you can either get vietnamese coffee or thai tea. There are only 2 tables outside for seating. But, I highly recommend taking it to go and enjoying it at Alki Beach which is just 6 minutes away. Service is good and pretty quick!

    BEST bahn mi sandwiches ever!! We had lunch at this cute little shop today. It is a tiny shop but their bahn mi was so good! I tried the traditional and my girls got the grilled pork and the tofu. Their portions are very generous and their bread is super crunchy and good. They have a few cute yellow tables and chairs to sit on outside of their place. They don't have a parking lot, but street parking was easy to find. The workers were very friendly and brought the food out to us. Highly recommended if you have a craving for bahn mi.

    Here is the Oh's Sandwiches. There is no seating inside the store, but three tables outside.

    My husband and I came to the W Seattle garage sale on Sat and came here for lunch. There are several yellow tables and chairs in front of the shop. When you enter the store, there is an IPad on the table on the right hand side where you can place your order. I've seen some stores using this system recently, but I don't really like it. I thought it would be better to just order it online. We ordered grilled pork sandwich and grilled chicken sandwich under my name. I waited outside for a while, but my name wasn't called, so I went inside the store and found my name on the order rack. If restaurant staff take orders by name, they should call out customer's name when the food is ready. How many customers know that? We took the sandwiches home and ate them. Both sandwiches were plentiful and tasty.The sandwich contents were good and satisfying.

    I was looking forward to trying this place but it fell short for me unfortunately. There was close to zero pate in my sandwich. The pickled carrot and daikon have no pickling flavor at all, it was very bland. It taste like just regular vegetables. This was the most disappointing part because the vinegar flavor is essential for balancing out heavy sandwiches like this. I like how they pack the sandwich, it is nicely put together but I feel that it lacked flavor. I like the bread as well, crispy but not stabbing the roof of your mouth. It was not a terrible sandwich but it lacked factors I think are most essential the taste of a bánh mì.

    Classic banh mi (dac biet) EXCELLENT
    MyAnne K.

    FIVE STARS to OH's Sandwiches! Their banh mi is among the best I've had in Seattle. The bread is baked to perfection--crispy on the outside and warm, fluffy on the inside. It's light yet sturdy, perfectly complementing the generous fillings of top-quality cold cuts, mayo, fresh veggies, and pâté. Everything is made in-house, which really elevates the experience. My favorite is the classic banh mi; the pickled vegetables are perfectly seasoned, adding a delightful crunch and tang. I also tried the chicken banh mi, which was loaded with whole chicken thigh meat. While it was flavorful, I found it a bit unmanageable to eat; I prefer my chicken shredded for easier eating. Pro tip: order ahead on Toast Tab and pick up at the deli to save time. Overall, a must-visit for anyone craving a delicious sandwich!

    If you're looking for a massive sandwich with tasty meat this is the banh-mi shop for you. This is a carry out style restaurant so expect to get your food within 5-10 mins depending on how busy they are.

    Surprisingly one of the best grilled pork banh mis I've had

    Is the tofu bahn mi vegan?

    They use mayonnaise but you can tell them to skip that.

    Is there any gluten free options?

    Hi, Thank you for sending message! There are No gluten-free option in our shop for the sandwiches.

    Can you get a fried egg added to the Banh mi?

    It's not a menu option.

    I am excited to visit! What is the seating/air conditioning situation?

    They have some chairs outside now.

    in the puget sound it's become easy to find a small banh mi shop in almost all towns and cities but…read morewhat isn't easy is finding places that reliably offer good quality food and clean eating areas. sometimes places are more known for takeout rather than eating on the premises but when you're craving a banh mi, lets me honest-----sometimes where you eat it isn't as important as where you bought it and today i found a legit place to put on your radar, if it isn't already. they do banh mi sandwiches and bun vermicelli noodle bowls and it was packed on a tuesday at lunchtime with people who had shown up and ordered on the large screen at the front counter and were waiting for their order's number to be called. i have some favorite places around the seattle area and going to be adding this one to the top of the list for the following reasons: SIZE: this banh mi was so big i couldn't finish it. it's going to become a second meal later today or tomorrow. TASTE/FLAVOR: great, fresh ingredients (pickled carrots and daikon) and yummy marinated tofu that had a sweet kind of sauce on it (maybe it was the mayo?!) the bread was fabulous consistency and crunch. PRICE: for the size and quality, the price was quite reasonable! this is dangerous to know about, considering it's on the peninsula and will help with the cravings when they strike. the only downfall is that parking is difficult. you may need to park a block away and walk since there's only spaces for 3-4 cars in front. while i was there, i literally saw a couple of cars double park to run in and grab their orders so maybe regulars know to expect that. pro tip: do not stand or park between a hungry person and their banh mi order

    I've heard good things about this place from two of my friends. I finally had a chance to check it…read moreout. I was very impressed. It was quick and easy to order. I got my food quickly. The sandwich was huge. The bread was perfect. There's a lot of meat and veggies. There's the right amount of sauce. It's one of the best Banh Mi I've ever had. I highly recommend this place. It's awesome.
