    We went to Mr. Banh Mi, which is mostly a takeout spot, but they do have some seating, four seats facing the window inside, and a small outdoor table for two. You can order from a kiosk or at the counter. There's also a restroom in the back that was clean. The Mr. Banh Mi sandwich was pretty good and huge. I got full just from eating half! The Fish & Chips surprised us with how large it was. The fish was tasty, but I fell in love with the fries--they were incredibly crispy, and I don't know how they made them that good. We also got the Vietnamese coffee and Thai milk tea--both were solid and enjoyable.

    It's tough to find a really good Banh Mi spot in Brooklyn, especially since there's a smaller Vietnamese community here. As a Vietnamese person who's had my fair share of Banh Mi, I had a serious craving and decided to check this place out. If I could give a 3.5-star rating, that's where I'd land. I tried two Banh Mi, and while the bread was excellent--crispy on the outside, soft inside--and the ingredients were fresh, something was missing for me. There was no Vietnamese mayo and pâté, which to me are essential components that give Banh Mi its signature richness and depth of flavor. The egg rolls, on the other hand, were hot, fresh, and satisfying. I appreciated that they came with lettuce--nice touch. I also tried the Vietnamese coffee. It definitely packed a punch, but they were a bit light on the condensed milk, so it leaned more bitter than I prefer. Overall, it's a solid spot with potential, especially if you're in the neighborhood and craving something close to home.

    Ah, finally a Vietnamese restaurant that places emphasis on bahn mis on 86th Street. It leans on the more modern side of this dish (and cuisine). However, I'm wondering if being modern = $12+. My favorite banh mi place on 8th ave (Thanh da) is only $9 and that's already with the price hike. In comparison, the Mr. Banh Mi I tried here is not as good as some very well-known, longstanding banh mi shops in Brooklyn and Chinatown. However, it's a decent banh mi that I wouldn't mind eating whenever I'm craving banh mis and don't want to go any farther than 86th Street. I have yet to try the shop's other menu items.

    Ambiance - A clean and very decent shop. Have a few tall stool to sit facing the street enjoying the meal. Overall it gives off a relaxing vibes. Service - very friendly and fast. The cashier/owner? were pretty attentive, making sure if customers wanted any jalapeños or spiciness in the meal. pretty attentive. Food - they have some more options to try beside the traditional Vietnamese sandwiches and drinks. - Portion is a bit different from the pictures. The bread is very soft and crispy. The Salted Cream Top Coffee was very interesting. The sauce that comes with the rice is very good and very spicy. The Lemongrass chicken was a must try. I will go back and try the Lemongrass Pork.

    Love this place! This is a small place - window counter seating and a single service counter with self ordering. Food is affordable and amazing. I highly recommend the fish and chips for the crispy fries!

    Was in the area and came back again. Good service and the banh mi was okay. I wish they made it more spicy. The bread texture is crunchy. I like crunchy but with the white part of the bread soft.

    Mr Banh Mi and Lemongrass Pork Banh Mi
    Mimee S.

    The bread here is amazing! So incredibly fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside. Not stale at all and tasted very fresh. Usually banh mi breads cut the roof of my mouth or I just get tired of chewing but man the bread here is great. I read that they make the bread in house fresh daily. I ordered the Mr Banh Mi since it is their signature and the Lemongrass Pork Banh mi. Both were very tasty. I will definitely come back again because of their bread!

    Came here twice, once to try the banh mi and the second time for the rice box/vermicelli salad. There is limited seating with like two seats facing the window. Tried the Mr. Banh M $12 and bulgogi beef $15. The Mr. Banh Mi had BBQ pork and the bulgogi beef was a korean-style thinly sliced rib-eye steak.Both were served with mayo, cucumbers, pickled daikon & carrots, and cilantro served on a toasted French baguette. Both were pretty good. Liked the bulgogi one since it's not your typical vietnamese sandwhich. Tried the vermicelli noodles with thinly sliced rib-eye steak $17 and the meat lover's rice box that was lemongrass pork & chicken, bulgogi beef $18. Both came with lettuce, pickled red onions, cucumbers, and pickled daikon & carrots. Both were pretty big portions but that was because there was way more vermicelli noodles and rice underneath the box. There was a lot of meat though and the flavors were alright. It was a bit disappointing though as the meat was rough compared to when we had the banh mis. I think I would stick to the sandwiches if I decide to come again.

    Bulgogi Beef Banh Mi: $14 ($15.24 with tax). Half shown.

    BLUF: Better bulgogi beef bánh mì (Vietnamese sandwiches) than the Joju chain. Mr. Banh Mi ("MBM") is a tiny shop with four counter-style seats that offers regular and fusion-style Vietnamese bánh mì. MBM is most directly comparable for me with Joju, a small chain in Elmhurst, Queens that set the standard in the 2010's for fusion-style bánh mì. Mr. Banh Mi does some things better than Joju. Bulgogi Beef Sandwich: Mr. Banh Mi's version is hands-down better than Joju's version. MBM's version costs $14 ($15.24 with tax), while Joju's sandwich is slightly less at $12.99 ($14.14 with tax). MBM uses bulgogi beef pieces, compared to Joju's greasy, over-salted beef mince. Mr. Banh Mi's bread is soft, airy, with a slightly crispy crust. I've never liked Joju's bread, and it's even worse these days. Mr. Banh Mi has a respectable protein to carrot slaw ratio, while Joju's sandwiches have a lower-then-ever protein to carrot slaw ratio. Some Joju sandwiches have included kim chi in recent years, which further waters down their flavor. Lemongrass Chicken Sandwich: $10 ($10.89 with tax) I liked this sandwich less than the Bulgogi Beef version, because the chicken didn't have much lemongrass flavor. Quail Egg Crispies: $5 ($5.44 with tax) A hard-boiled quail egg inside a deep-fried wonton wrapper, a Thai sweet chili dipping sauce. Cute, but skippable.

    Very small place, but they make great food. Almost looks like a small cafe. The banhmis were good. We did a traditional and a chicken banhmi. Side of Watertown. The food came out pretty quick, I enjoyed the both, I usually got halfsies with my wife. I will probably go back if I'm in the area. If you're looking for something good and quick this is definitely an option. Viet coffee was super strong like omg but it def woke me up on my ride home.

    Lemongrass Pork Salad

    Ordered lunch from here-the lemongrass pork salad. The noodles were delicious and I loved the fried scallion but the pork was extremely overcooked (see picture) and dry. Also I asked for spicy nuoc and it was definitely not spicy at all.

    Really good banh mi sandwiches! We got 2 Mr Banh Mi (one spicy, one non-spicy) and my husband, who's a stickler about his banh mi sandwiches, couldn't stop talking about the flavors and texture of the bread. We also took our 2 year old along and got him the crunchy fries and an order of their 4pc fried spring rolls. Both were very good, crispy and flavorful. My kiddo actually loved the dipping sauce that came with the spring rolls and dipped his fries in it. The lettuce came packaged separately and I appreciated the way they packaged everything into individual boxes. Pretty small spot with only 4 barstools and tables lined against the window but clean, minimalistic and modern. The menu on the wall is easy to read and straight to the point. We went in around 11:30am on a Friday. The woman who took our order was kind, patient and our all our food came out very quickly. Definitely recommend and definitely coming back.

    This shop replaced Little Saigon Pearl. I purchased two sandwiches. The total cost was $22. The ones I brought were Mr. Bahn Mi and Lemongrass Chicken. Bread was delicious. They didn't went stingy with the meat. I didn't know if I wanted it to be spicy. The cashier gave me a little container of sliced jalapeños. He told me the Mr. Bahn Mi is the popular choice. The shop is extremely clean. It has this modern interior design.

    Excellent banh mi sandwiches!! A bit small for the price but worth the money. The pate is excellent and juicy and a great balance overall.
