I consider this place to be a 3.5, but will bump it up because I feel like it's a Davis 4. I came by here months ago soon after it's opening to get banh mi with friends and found it to be a little disappointing. I promised I would come back after they had some time to establish to leave a proper review. I ordered the banh mi dac biet and roasted pork spring rolls. I noticed that they changed the filling for this particular sandwich, where it used to be pork roll (cha lua) and roast pork (thit nuong). They've changed it now to be barbecue pork instead of roast pork, which I think is the right move. I got my sandwich toasted and without pate. I found that the sandwich tasted much better than last time. It was much more solidly constructed and has a decent filling of meat to vegetables, though I feel like there were a lot of pickles in the sandwich. The bread, however, is not my favorite. It kind of reminds me of Lee's sandwiches, where they have that kind of soft long baguette that isn't super fluffy. If you're looking for the traditional bread experience where the outside is crispy, but light and the inside is fluffy like air, you're not gonna get it here. You have to go to Duc Huong in south Sac for that. But, if you have an itch for a banh mi, the flavors work. There's no other place to get it in Davis, but this is pretty OK. The spring rolls are interesting. They remind me of something that I would make at home. I will say that there is a decent amount of meat in them, but the vegetables are lacking. I acknowledge that this is a Vietnamese restaurant in a college town so they're probably not gonna go crazy and include the more traditional herbs that you would get in Vietnamese food, but it did make me a little fat to just get lettuce and cilantro that being said, I ate it all so I can't really complain lol The store itself is very pretty, I have to admit. I like an ordering kiosk, though their system can get a little overwhelming when trying to make modifications to sandwiches because of the way they set up the modification menu. Can't speak too much on staff since interaction is really minimal. The person who made my sandwich put it out first and I stood there. Not sure if my spring rolls we're gonna be out soon. She kind of just looked at me and said they'll be out later. The person who delivered my spring rolls to me was really nice, looks more like the owner or manager. read more

No. Just no. Both the service and food are bad. The kiosk to order is too sensitive and unresponsive. Scrolling selects an unwanted item wherever your finger happens to be and after several annoying times of this... The front staff were watching a video on a tablet. I paused a moment and said hello but they still didn't acknowledge me. It was another moment before they realized I was there and looked up from the video. They seemed bothered that I had interrupted their viewing. The food was awful. I regretted it the moment I opened the container and saw the food, the moment I tasted it, the moments chewing it, and again afterwards. I ordered a pate chaud and shrimp spring rolls. The chaud is like a stuffed puff pastry. The pastry itself was acceptable though the meatball type filling was unevenly distributed and salty. The shrimp spring rolls. Oh, dear. These were the worst spring rolls I've had. Ever. The Trader Joe's spring rolls from the other side of the parking lot are better than this. First, the flavor, then, the texture... The spring rolls lacked any remarkable flavor. The more I chewed, and there was a lot of chewing, the less flavor there was until it was gone. The spring rolls were so chewy. They were ridiculously chewy. It was like chewing mochi but exponentially chewier. I chewed and chewed and chewed and chewed, and tried to swallow but it apparently wasn't chewed enough so it got stuck in my throat which made me gag so the food came back up, and so I chewed some more but then all the flavor was gone. What the hell. Was I chewing plastic? I felt like one of the cows or llamas on campus chewing their cud. This is not normal. Good spring rolls should not be like this. How can they serve this garbage? The decor was too kitchy, over the top. I don't understand the fluffy feather things seen here and at other Asian places. Avoid this place. Go elsewhere. And if you still have doubts and want to be stupid, check other reviews consistent with this. You've been warned. read more

We've been to Paris Bahn Mi twice now and we appreciated both experiences. We've tried the chicken pho, special pho, combination special Bahn mi, chicken Bahn mi, egg rolls, and Beef Pate Chaud. The pho broth was flavorful, I didn't feel the need to add anything to it. The special pho only comes in large but the meat portion was very generous, it was worth it. The chicken pho was also good but the amount of noodles in it was rather superfluous--the noodle to broth ratio could've been better. My husband had the Bahn Mi (combo and chicken). He said the combo Bahn mi had a savory sauce but the chicken Bahn mi was just okay and didn't leave an impression. Meanwhile, our toddler had the egg rolls and the beef meat pie and he seemed to have enjoyed both! It was packed the first time we went but we were served our meals quickly. It was relatively clean and seating was decent for how small the establishment was. read more

This is the spot in town for an affordable banh mi. Combination banh mi: A- This was around $10 and tastes great. It's not huge but the taste is on point. Wrapped nicely and convenient to eat. Easy ordering online or via kiosk! Artichoke tea: C This was a popular drink on the menu so I had to try it. I love artichokes however, not so much when it's for a sweet drink. Definitely an acquired taste. read more

Came to Paris Banh Mi for a late afternoon meal after a day of exploring downtown Davis. This shop is located in a shopping plaza on the corner of a large open courtyard. It was a hub for college kids to hang out and chill after school. The inside is bright with lots of seating (inside and outside). Paris Banh Mi serves banh mi, but also pho, desserts, and boba drinks. We ordered via the kiosk and barely had any human contact except for when we picked up our food. The kiosk claims it will text you when the order is ready, but we waited pretty long outside and never received anything. My friend and I ordered: - Banh mi dac biet - This was well-stuffed with lots of pate. Maybe I'm deprived of banh mis around me, but this was really delicious. - Banh mi with chicken floss/shredded chicken - My friend said this was just aight. I asked for extra veggies on the side and noticed the pickled daikon and carrots were more on the sour side. Overall a decent banh mi spot but it doesn't hold a candle to Duc Huong. read more

Another new food option at The Davis Collection! I was just passing by and happened to notice their grand opening. I quickly got in line for the kiosk and tried a few things from their menu. Oh, and there's a promotion for 10% off this weekend. I got the special combination but instead of the usual baguette, I tried it with a croissant. It was smaller than I thought, and I'm leaning toward preferring a traditional banh mi more. The steak pho with fresh noodles was decent, but nothing to rave about. Food took almost half an hour to come out, though I'm not sure whether it's because their kitchen and operations are still new. Overall, prices seem kind of high given what you can get around the Davis area. read more

Showed up on a rainy morning looking for something warm to eat. They were open a little earlier than their hours state and I headed in, ordered at the self serve kiosk, and sat down. There was nobody else inside, but it was comfortable and inviting, though the music was a little loud for 10 am. Something that I found interesting was that when I ordered, you could specify less/more cilantro and onions in your pho. I went with the standard amount, but appreciate the level of customization you can do. The food came out about 15 minutes after I ordered, which isn't too bad, but could have been faster given I was the only customer. It was flavorful and light, though a bit more cinnamon-forward than other pho places in town. Overall, it's a pretty standard place with standard prices. I would come back a little later in the day when they are more prepared for customers. read more

Paris Banh Mi - Pho - Sandwiches Near Me - Davis, California

TLDR: Spacious and modern spot with fast service, but the pho lacked depth and the meat quality was disappointing. Not my top pho choice in Davis. --------- I visited on their grand opening day when they were offering 10% off your order. Ordering is done through a kiosk, and the interior has a contemporary feel with lots of light colored design elements. The space itself is quite large, with plenty of indoor seating and an outdoor porch area, though the porch does not get much light. I ordered the special pho, which was priced at $18.95 before tax and tip. The food came out fairly quickly, and the portion size was generous. One thing to note is that you have to grab your own utensils, as they are not brought out with the food. Unfortunately, the pho broth lacked depth and richness, and I had to add quite a bit of sauce to boost the flavor. There were not enough sauce trays available, so I had to wait until someone else was finished using theirs. I also wished there was chili oil available to add some heat to the dish. The noodles themselves were fine, and there was a good amount of them. The meat, however, was quite tough, and the rib did not have much meat on it, which was disappointing given the price. Overall, I found this place a bit underwhelming, especially compared to other pho spots in Davis like Sit Lo Saigon. There is potential here, but the food needs improvement for me to choose this over other options in the area. read more

I came here at 9 pm (we thought they closed at 10). my brother and I ordered at the kiosk, but it froze so we ordered at the counter. I think the staff forgot or misunderstood because I received a lychee milk tea with 100 percent sugar instead of zero sugar. They were closing at 930 pm that night instead of 10 because of maintenance. We were not given boba straws with our drinks. Maybe we were supposed to get the straws ourselves so it could have been our own fault as well. When we remembered, we were already out the door and the door was locked. Luckily I had boba straws at home. I felt a little rushed. I also ordered the Nutella cheesecake. It was ok. The ambiance is modern. The AC was soooo cold. I'm sure I will appreciate that in the summer though! Haha. I will give them another chance and not come so late next time. read more

It's nice we have another chain that opened in Davis. More options. We walked in around noon on a Friday and it wasn't crowded. Maybe it was also because it was a long weekend so everyone could have been gone. Some reviews said the food took long to come out. Ours didn't this time. I ordered the meatball pho and my colleagues got some banh mis. The meatball pho was pretty good. The soup was flavorful. I think for what this place is and what they serve, it's pretty good. Viet coffee was good too. I really wanted to try the pate chaud, but next time. My colleagues said the banh mis were also pretty good. Overall, I would come back to try the other items on their menu. read more

Cute place and nice ambiance. They sell more than just vietnamese sandwiches (banh mi). I came in to try their banh mi only. I got the special combo on a baguette. You can choose 2 other types of bread. I asked for my bread to be toasted. I ordered takeout and don't live very far. I thought my sandwich was going to be warm when I got home. My bread had a nice crunch as if it was toasted but it was cold. It was a pretty big stuffed sandwich. I only ate half of it. The veggies taste fresh. The meats were good. I love pate in my banh mi and it was pretty good. Im glad to have a decent banh mi in Davis so I dont have to go to Sac. Now that I know their pate is good, I would like to try the pate chaud. read more

Came on the grand opening day (around 4pm) as they were offering 10% off the entire order. Tried the large pho with steak and jasmine green tea. There are options to sit outside or indoors which make great options for spring in Davis. The order took about 15 minutes to come out after ordering despite the amount of people in the restaurant. The broth was flavorful but the steak was a little chewy. Will come back to try the banh mis and other drinks (if I can ever find parking again). read more

Soft opening. So excited to try this place. Solid banh mi and Pho. Drinks were good! Nothing to write home about but it offers different selections than other Vietnamese places in town. It's by Calicraft. Mostly self service, order via a screen, prices reasonable, loved the efficiency! Food came out pretty quickly. Friendly service. Cafe ambience. Hope they expand the menu a little after soft opening. Great addition to the Davis Collection! read more

There's a slight urine smell in main seating area. Hope they are able to isolate bathroom smells in the future, the door to floor gap is pretty big, and ventilation could be improved. The bathroom is scented enough to mask the smells while in it. Napkins aren't the right type for their dispenser. I got a classic Special Combination cold cut sandwich with no modifications , but felt it was light in too many regards: Light on pate, light on mayo, light on meat, and light on flavor. Balance was Veggie heavy. Not bad but not my preference. This is the second Paris Banh Mi I've tried and prefer the Elk Grove location. read more

Service was terrible. Waited at the register for 10min not even so much as a "oh one sec please" had to use the kiosk to place an order for banh mi and eggrolls. They never told me it was ready. Then proceeded to only give me my Eggrolls after checking the receipt that showed I also ordered a banh mi like wtf it's going on with this place. Food smelled good but tasted bland asf read more

I was excited to see a viet spot opening right across the street from me, however the grand opening line was crazy so I didn't get the chance to go. When I was finally able to, I got to try the banh mi thit nuong and pho tai. When I first went in for a banh mi, I ordered at the kiosk and waited outside because it was pretty packed indoors. I didn't receive a text that it was ready after 20min, so I went in. I saw my sandwich (confirmed the order number too) just sitting on the counter. The staff never said anything so I just took my banh mi and left. After I got home and ate it, they finally sent me the text message that it was ready for pick up. So, it was a strange experience. The banh mi itself was alright, but the meat was dry. When I gave this place another shot, I got pho tai. Much like the other pho places in Davis, the pho broth here was not really flavorful. Unlike the other pho places in Davis, however, the wait for pho was long. It was a rainy day, so I was craving some pho. I spent 30min watching people come and go before the pho was ready. Had I known they would take this long, I probably would have gone somewhere else. The inside decor was cute though. read more

Price of the sandwiches are at $9.75, Pate Chaud at $3.95 each, Taro drink with Boba $6.50, and Milk Tea without boba $5.75. Lively and really nice dining room! read more

Negative 5 service, it's like customers don't exist to the employees, the worst customer service ever

The people working there are super nice and very accommodating. I should have gotten a banh mi, but I was in the mood for pho so had the meatball pho with regular noodles (you can upgrade to fresh noodles for $1, which I guess are thicker and better) and a pate chaud. The pho was okay, just very forgettable. The broth tasted like it was from an instant mix, which is fine but I can do that at home for a lot less than $16. But that's what I get for ordering pho at a sandwich place. It was a little better with a ton of basil, lime, and sriracha. The pate chaud pastry was very good and flaky, but I didn't love the pate itself. The filling made me think of a pork-and-liver meatball. It probably would have been better heated up. I ended up removing half the filling and finishing the pastry. The ambiance was fine. I would have preferred if the music was a bit lower so you could have a conversation at a normal volume because I'm a Very Old. But seating was comfortable and everything is very clean (which it should be, being open for only a month). I look forward to trying the banh mi like I should have to begin with. read more

Paris Banh Mi - Hours as of 3/12/2026 - Sandwiches Near Me - Davis, California

In the big 2026 and this place does not have an online ordering system, given the parking wars and lack of parking space it is difficult to grab this on a quick lunch if you are on a time crunch and have to drive. I really wished this place offered uber/door dash or even grub hub but sadly still no option. I also tried going to their website and still no option to order online. The last time I went in person to order I had to wait about 10-15 minutes, this place would really benefit from an online ordering system since it's near campus read more

I ordered a banh mi and viet iced coffee, I was really disappointed. I went in the morning 10ish and maybe the bread was old. It was dense and a little hard.

Decent but not dreamy We are Huong Lan banh mi fans, but don't always feel like schlepping to Sac, so we were excited to try this new place within walking distance. Interior spacious and very pleasant, restrooms stylish; everything spotless. Didn't care for the rap music, but outside tables were welcoming and quiet. Service prompt and friendly. We ordered the grilled pork banh mi, toasted and cut in half. It was a nice size and a reasonable price. Ingredients fresh and bread very good. But meat lacked flavor and needed salt. The other item we tried was the grilled pork vermicelli bowl, which was overpriced in my opinion. Like the sandwich, everything fresh but lackluster meat seasoning. Egg roll freshly cooked but filling mushy. Fish sauce also lackluster. So, the sandwich is the better bet and it was decent--I'd give 3.5 stars. NB Parking a hassle so either bring your Tesla to charge or walk/cycle. read more

Went to their grand opening with some friends for brunch. The decor is cute, restrooms were clean and fancy (real tiles on the wall & soft close trash can), and has a good amount of seating indoors and outside. We ordered several banh mis, tea, coffee, macarons, and a mini ube cheesecake. The Vietnamese coffee was delicious and larger than expected and helped me wake up. It paired nicely with the cheesecake, which I will come back for if it's available. Staff was nice and friendly. It's super close to the dorms and campus. A great place to eat/drink and get some studying done or hang out with friends or go on a date. read more

The banh mi is very good but not great. The bread is great, fresh and has a great crunch. However, a truly great banh mi has a great balance between the umami of the cold cuts, the sweet/tart flavor of the pickled carrots and daikon, the refreshing taste of the cool cucumber against the spice of the jalapeño, and the grassy herbaceous taste of the cilantro against the salt of the cold cuts. This banh mi dac biet NEEDS pepper, plus a tiny dash of Magi seasoning to kick up the umami of the meat. The pickled carrots and daikon are too bland to stand up to the meat, it needs more sugar and vinegar to cut through the salt of the meat. Needs more than the one wimpy strand of cilantro that I got. Overall, nice sandwich but falls a little flat, needs a little more tweaking to be epic. read more
