Still the best bbq and my favorite banh mi. Delicious fresh pickled radishes and jalapeños just adds. Nothing fancy and overpowering just my personal opinion favorite. Price went up again but is worth the stop by whenever I'm on 8th ave. Lady and guy both nice and I always call for pick up. read more

3.5 stars. The man sat there and I can't get to the register because it's blocked off with a step ladder. I paid him and waited about 8-10 mins. I saw him looking for me so I realized my orders ready. He just tossed the banh Mi on the counter for me. It's $9 cash only for an original banh mi that doesn't have much filling as before. I do understand that ingredients cost more and stuff but this is lowkey sad. I haven't ordered one in a long time and thought I would treat myself to a spicy #1. It's still good but it's a skinny sandwich with low amount of filling. read more

I know people rave about the other banh mi spot but this one is my favorite. I haven't found anything else close to their BBQ pork banh mi #3. The BBQ pork is a minced, sweet and savory almost like a pork jerky texture. The bread is crunchy but soft on the inside. The ratio of pickled veggies to meat is good and there's also an option to add peppers if you prefer spicy. This is a no frills takeout only shop, and also only accepts cash. Service is generally pretty quick and they speak Cantonese. I would recommend calling ahead to order as sometimes the wait could be 10-15 minutes if there are multiple orders ahead of yours. read more

Used to come here all the time when I lived around the area but have to say service and quality has declined (+) taste amazing and is one of the best I've had in NY (-) service is ok, slow, so I recommend calling ahead of time (-) the portion has gotten a lot smaller over the past few years (-) price also went up significantly, while I acknowledge it's part of inflation but $9 for a sandwich with almost no filling and 75% bread is not acceptable read more

Little Thanh Da Inc - 75% bread :) - Vietnamese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Came and ordered their #1. Sandwiches are made to order so the wait was 10-15 minutes because there was an order ahead of mine. The sandwich itself was pretty delicious. It can use a little more meat and carrots/daikon but it hits the spot. The only issue here really was that when I went, a lady working there was sweeping and mopping. She had me leave the store so she can finish what she was doing before I can order. Also, the store itself is already pretty small and tight in space but they had a ladder out in the middle of nowhere which made it hard to even get to the register. This might be a one off but not a great experience. read more

I had a really frustrating experience with this place. I placed an order and literally called back right away to cancel it--this was my first time ever doing that. Instead of just helping me, the person on the phone started scolding me and claiming that I "do this every time," which is completely untrue. It was honestly shocking to be spoken to like that as a customer. Mistakes happen, and calling immediately to fix it shouldn't be treated like some kind of offense. The attitude was unnecessary and unprofessional. Food might be good, but customer service like this really ruins the experience. I won't be ordering from here again. read more

First time caller, long time listener. I've been pretty faithful to ba xuyen purely due to proximity but had some appointments down 7th Ave and a gnawing hunger for a banh mi. This bbq pork banh mi ran $10 versus a $9 at ba xuyen. Thanh Da's banh mi featured a yeasty, shiny, micro-blistered roll which beat that of BX. However where the comparison fell short is that this ten dollar fighter had less pickled veg and no jalapeño (perhaps a pitfall of a language barrier). The pickled veg here tastes purely of a white or rice vinegar and sugar, no fish sauce or garlic, and shredded a tad bit thinner than most places. The pork tastes pretty similar to BX and Chinatown's banh mi Saigon, just less soy sauce. Swipes of mayo are hard to see in the photo and there was no sriracha added (not necessary imho). Overall I really enjoyed it but def needed to pull out some homemade pickled jalapeño for some scovilles. read more

Little Thanh Da Inc - Banh Mi Đặc Biệt (Special Combination) - Vietnamese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

it's just a counter service banh mi spot in Brooklyn Chinatown off of eighth Avenue. It really felt like a hole in the wall. The sandwiches were about $10. the #1 was a bit on the skimpy side with the fillings, but it was tasty. The Vietnamese coffee was strong and made to go. Service was a bit slow. It took about 10 to 15 minutes to make me the two sandwiches. read more

Bahn Mi here is so delicious. The taste leaves you wanting more. The setting is calm and quick

First time trying their banh mi and I also wanted an avocado shake, but the person working there said they don't make shakes anymore. Ordered the #1 (Banh mi, house special combination sandwich) and was asked to wait outside for 10mins. Waited about 15mins to find out the sandwich was sitting inside. So keep an eye on your sandwich. The banh mi was really good. Bread was nicely toasted, meats were good, but some pieces were too fatty. I also wished it had pate on it, that's actually my favorite part in a banh mi. read more

I've been a long time customer of Thanh Da, going as far back to when their banh mis were ~$2!! Over the years, even as I've tried other banh mi places, Thanh Da remains my favorite. As of this review (May 2022), banh mis are $8 each. To be completely honest, I don't know which number I'm ordering off the menu - I just order a spicy banh mi! The BBQ roast pork in the sandwich is my favorite, and is perfectly paired with the other meats and pickled vegetables. A few things haven't changed over the years - they don't skimp on the filling, & the service is always super friendly and efficient. Iced vietnamese coffee here is also really good, but may have a bit of a wait from time to time. read more

I organized a big dinner here and everyone loved what they ordered. The restaurant balances cleanliness with affordability. Little Thanh Da Inc has decent prices and a healthy dose of vegetables. Their team creates a family-like dining atmosphere. I'm absolutely returning to this place. read more

This is my favorite viet sandwich place. There's really no competition in the area. I always get the #1 or #3 -- the only difference is #3 has more BBQ meats and #1 has more cold meats. Since #1 is $8 and #3 is $9 I've been opting for the cheaper option recently haha. Always call ahead because sometimes they're so backed up it takes 20+ mins for them to get to your order. If there's no wait then it's like 5 mins. The viet coffee here is good as well for $4. CASH ONLY. This is not a sit down place. It's super tiny so you just grab and go. read more

This place fell off, was one of best Vietnam sandwiches place. , cut down on the fill in .will try it again. Not any time soon

The bread was hella crunchy and the ratio of meat to pickled veggies was solid. For $9 you can get really full.

One of my favorite Viet sandwich spots in Brooklyn! I must have been here about 4732743278 times that I might turn into a banh mi! There is always congestion on 57th street so it is recommended to call ahead of time and run in quickly to pick-up. TIP: If you do not plan to eat the sandwich the day of or within a couple of hours - it is possible to request to split the bread/meat from the vegetables so it would taste better the next day! They packed the vegetables into a zip lock bag and all I did was toast the bread/meat the next day and put it together myself it was quick, simple and delicious!! read more

Little Thanh Da Inc - two sub sandwiches on a plate - Vietnamese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Small hole in the wall spot mainly serving Vietnamese sandwiches and beverages daily. They've also got a variety of fresh and dried snacks. Very tight space for a 'two-way' of entering and exiting. There's a high-top seating area but you may only step in to order and wait outside during Covid. About 2-3 people max can stand inside comfortably but with social distancing, there's only space for 1. I usually call before ordering to save some time. They do get busy and they only make a sandwich or two at a time. Standing inside for too long always leaves me with a strong food smell on my hair and clothing anyways. Been coming here since their sandwiches cost $3.75, they now run up to $8 and portions are getting smaller. I grew up eating #1, combo sandwich and #3, the bbq pork sandwich but currently loving #2, the Vietnamese pork roll sandwich. Sometimes I stop by for a refreshing avocado milk shake, Vietnamese coffee or the Vietnamese salty pickled lime drink. There's meter and alternate side parking in the area but the traffic congestion can be heavy all days of the week. Lots of double parked cars, and crowds of pedestrians everywhere. read more

Small inside, no dining in, friendly, mask is not needed at this time/ignore the sign, had the special combination sandwich #1/ not spicy option, very good bread & filling. Ca phe iced coffee is good too, strong yummy taste. read more

I get the classic #1 sandwich and the taste of it is good. One time, the lady made the bread way too crunchy and it was difficult to eat but most times, it is good. It's the perfect lunch for when you're craving a sandwich. The service is slow. I had to wait 15-20 for one sandwich. They may take phone orders but the service can be faster. No place to sit. It's extremely tiny there. The man that handles the cash register (Do not know if he is the boss) made us feel uncomfortable. I came with my sibling. He was laughing, smiling, and smirking. He was weird. read more

Being Vietnamese, I grew up eating banh mi my whole life. So far, I've had them in multiple spots in Vietnam, New York, California, and Florida. This is my favorite spot. I've gotten tired after a few visits at other places, but I used to order from here once a week, now once every few months, and I still love it. I hope they stick around for a long time. read more

Little Thanh Da Inc - #1 - Vietnamese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Every single time I visit Brooklyn, I go to Thanh Da either location to grab a bunch of chicken sandwiches to bring home to Long Island. There is absolutely no place in NY that makes it as good as this place does. The service is great, the people there are so nice. And the store is small and simple which is all they need because the yummy food is all that matters. Definitely check this place out for the best Vietnamese sandwiches you'll ever have! read more

One of the original Viet sub spots in the neighborhood. Quality of their food has been consistently declining over the years. Meat and other stuffings have been reduced to just so super thin layers now. Very overpriced for what you get and not to mention the nasty attitude of the older man behind the counter. read more

Very stingy with the filing pay 9$ for flat bread. So sad it has gone down hill. Won't be returning

After having been to Ba Xuyen multiple times, my wife and I were seeking a new spot in Sunset Park to quickly grab a banh mi and we came upon Thanh Da II on the trusty old Yelp app. This place is as simple as it gets. We pulled over right outside and immediately noticed that it's without saying that this is a true hole in the wall. We walked in and were greeted by an incredibly friendly, smiling elder woman. There were a few stools and counter seating, but not much else. The menu was right above her on the wall so it was very easy to see what we wanted to order. Without much hesitation, we ordered the #1 (BBQ pork with ham) and #3 (BBQ pork) banh mi sandwiches for $6 each. We waited a few minutes, received our orders and took it home. Unfortunately, we didn't get to eat the sandwiches straight off of the grill as we waited a few hours before digging in. They weren't the best banh mi sandwiches I ever had, but they were simple, solid and still tasty. The bread was a bit cool, since we had waited, but all of the ingredients inside - the BBQ pork combined with the cucumber, pickled carrots, daikon, cilantro - worked perfectly together like a banh mi should. The #1 also included ham and some mayo, so there was extra flavoring in that, but the BBQ pork in both sandwiches were savory and good. For $6, it's hard to beat a better sandwich and the #1 and #3s here do the job. Banh mi's have always been simple, cheap and easy to munch on for a quick meal and Thanh Da II, with its no frills approach, definitely makes a solid one. read more

It seems like the prices keep creeping up and the portions keep getting smaller, but Thanh Da II is still one of my favorite places to grab a banh mi in Brooklyn. Their #1 contains a savory BBQ pork and ham combo, which really hits the spot, especially if you wash it down with an iced coffee. The parking situation is terrible, expect lots of double parking and masses of pedestrians. I would recommend calling ahead of time to place your order, especially during the lunch rush. read more

I have been going to this location for 3-4 years and the sandwiches are amazing. I absolutely love this place. My to go orders are #1 (Ham, BBQ pork) and #3 (BBQ pork). (Forgot to take pictures Bc I can't wait to eat it). The inside has been closed off for orders only but it can fit 2-3 individual. They are also extremely busy so it will take some time for your order to be ready but it is well worth it ,so I recommend calling ahead and make your order. One thing that disappoints me is that portions has become smaller and prices has increased. Maybe it's because of food and rent increases but hopefully when everything returns to normal again portion size will increase. read more

This place still does not disappoint after 10 years of patronage. If you want a good banh mi, this is one of two places I will go to in Brooklyn to get it. Cilantro? Yes, please. Pickled carrot/daikon? Uh, duh! I really can't say more, but just go for it. The original is the one I always go for, and when priced at $5, I would much rather have this baguette fusion of French/South-East Asian than paying for a deli sandwich from the local bodega and getting some salty ham. read more

Where's the rest of my sandwich?? It had been years since I've had a delicious banh mi here and oh how it has changed... prices have almost doubled and the portions of meat are so small now. I got the #1 (ham and BBQ pork) for $5.50 and #3 (BBQ pork) for $6.50. The buns were toasted fresh and had a nice good crunch despite being a little burnt on the sides. I remember the BBQ pork being so delicious, but this time it was just a little over cooked and dry. The worst part was that it was hardly present in the sandwich... I was struggling to taste the meat in each bite. The ham was good and mixed well with the BBQ pork. I normally prefer the #3 BBQ pork alone, but #1 was the better choice for me with the sauce and better meat to bread ratio. read more

Thanh Da has always been my favorite viet bread spot. However, in the past year they raised their price by a whopping $1.50-$2 and have skimped out greatly on their ingredients. I also called almost 45 mins before closing to order, they called me twice within 10 minutes rushing me to pick up my order. As I approached the store, I even saw an employee come out to look for me. I always came to this location vs the 7th Ave one because the employees were nicer here but unfortunately that's no longer. Sad to say I will not be a frequent anymore read more

Very easy to walk by the store. Although, I would come by this place almost every time I'm in the neighborhood. Their Vietnamese sandwiches are worth the price and taste. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants Vietnamese food and for a quick meal with a portion that would be good for them. Their ice Thai tea is also worth trying. read more

For every 20 subpar Vietrnamese places in NYC, there is at least one Thanh Da. And thankfully for Brooklyn Chinatown, there are two. Thanh Da II is a banh mi only extension of it's more popular sister location (http://www.yelp.com/biz/thanh-da-brooklyn), but has my vote for one of the best Viet sandwich joints NY has to offer. With banh mi sandwiches, it's all about the bread. TDII toasts most of their fluffy baguettes before stuffing them with various meats and veggies. Most of the sandwiches I've had here are executived well and for $3.95 each, it's cheaper and of a higher caliber than most, if not all banh mi sammies found in Manhattan. The dac biet version of TDII's banh mi may be heartier and tastier than Ba Xuyen's (http://www.yelp.com/biz/ba-xuyen-brooklyn-2) and the nem nuong / xa xiu combos are always a delight. For those who fear the skimpage in the sandwich, politely ask for more of whatever and the sweet ladies behind the counter are likely to do it. Though not all of the sandwiches are ideal (namely the sardine and vegetable banh mi), they do a masterful job on everything else. I am aware there are folks who aren't big on the size of the sandwich or the place itself. Hole in the wall eateries are usually limited in seating as it is and this hood has more tiny joints than big banquet halls. TDII's toasty banh mi almost reminds me of Saigon Sandwich in SF (http://www.yelp.com/biz/saigon-sandwich-san-francisco), but with considerably less mayo and pate. I held off writing a review for the last couple of years in hopes of keeping this place under the radar. The secret is out it seems and thus my affinity to the Vietnamese sandwich in NY, has Thanh Da II written all over it. 4.5 stars. read more

Tiny little Banh Mi place in the corner of 57th and 8ave, one of the crowdest place of 8ave. I called in my order, and was lucky to find a parking spot and run in to get my sandwich. The bread was warm and crunchy and chewy. I wish they'd put a bit more meat. It was a pretty skinny sandwich, very good taste nonetheless. Will come back if in the area. read more

Oh boy has time changed. This used to be my go to spot for Viet sandwich and now, I rather go to Ba Xuyen at 42nd st in Brooklyn. I understand we are in a time of crisis and business is slow for most businesses and therefore price increase. Understandable but not acceptable for the degrade quality from before the pandemic. I got the #1 and he asked if I want spicy or not. I chose spicy. After you place the order, you have to wait outside for your order. How he tells you your order is ready is pretty wrong. He bangs on the window really hard to get your attention. I think that's stupid. First off, I didn't expect him to bang on the window so the elderly woman who was standing outside the store jumped and got scared. I felt so bad for her I even apologize on their behalf. I'm nice like that. They seriously need to think of a better way to notify customers their order is ready. Anyways, the filling was less than usual. Plus, it wasn't spicy at all. Ba Xuyen had more filling and they give me my spiciness! I gave one star for the bread, which wasn't hard as a rock. One star was just to give them for support during this time of crisis. But if they are going to raise the price, customer expects the same or even better quality. Why are you cheaping out your customer?! The filling is even less than Banh Mi Saigon in Chinatown. That is my usual spot for Viet sandwich when in the city but I figured I should give this place another try since I was craving Viet sandwich. This place was disappointing. Banh Mi Saigon is the same price, $7 for the #1 and they had more fillings. Shocking since Chinatown is more expensive in rent and both are the same price but different quality. Overall, not going back anytime soon or even at all. We'll see what the future holds. Stay safe everyone! read more

Oh, where do I start? This hole-in-the-wall is hands down the best place for bahn mi. I've never eaten such delicious Vietnamese sandwiches elsewhere and for such an affordable price too ($5.5)! Are you convinced yet? If you are, go ahead and save their number because you bet there are always people waiting for their order so call ahead to place yours. The place can barely fit five people at once, so even though there's a bar table against the wall and three stools, you're better off eating it at Leif Ericsson park a couple of blocks down... unless you want to eat right next to the garbage can. What to get? I always go for the number one cause frankly it's the best option. Oh and they always ask you "la bu la" (mandarin for Spicy or not spicy) so make sure you're ready to answer that. I always say "xiao la" (a little spicy) just for that extra kick but if not it still tastes bombbb. Oh, they have a sister store down at 7th ave with lots of tables and more items on the menu like noodles if you're into that. Both places are great but I'm just more used to ordering at this location. read more

OK - after reading some of my fellow Yelpers reviews, I guess I totally missed the boat when they used to over stuff their Bahn Mi's... But since I've only experienced the current version, I guess sometimes ignorance is bless ??? Ha Ha Ha Definitely "hole in the wall", small, & if you walk fast like a real New Yorker, you totally miss the side entrance store front! Tucked away on 57th Street... Not quite on the busy street of 8th Avenue, the 3rd Chinatown in NYC. Always get the #1, $5.50 - $6, it's filled with awesomeness (little bit of everything! Viet ham, roast BBQ pork, veggies, pickled carrots & daikon, cilantro, hot jalapeño! (Skip if u don't like spicy!). AND must try the Viet ice coffee! Rich, robust and trust me, you will be wide awake for quite some time afterwards... *wink* Happy feasting! read more
