Good Viet food is not so ubiquitous in MD, and every single one is a treasure of the local community. Have you ever had a freshly baked Viet-French bread? It's artisan at its finest. All the fixings are exactly what I remember from my Viet hometown of San Jose, CA. I would like a bit more pate on my sandwiches, but I'm greedy like that. Not for more sandwich though - these are huge! One is enough for one large man. Usually Bahn Mi are smaller, but who's complaining? If you want to experience something new between the slices, come check this place out. read more

As a surprise for an easy handheld lunch on Mothers Day hubby decided we'd try Bahn Mis. Was definitely a pleasant surprise. We loved the fresh vegetables paired with the grilled pork. The bread had a nice pull and bite and the sauce prepared also had a nice little savory flavor. Definitely interested in returning to try a few more flavors offered. I did not go with him to pick up so I can't speak to the dine in ambiance appearance but it did seem like service was great and made for a smooth ordering experience for him. read more

Wife and I are huge foodies and normally travel for all kinds of foods. One of our favorite Vietnamese dishes are Summer Rolls and Banh Mi sandwiches. A blogger that I follow on IG reviewed this place, so today we decided to give it a try. We ordered a couple different Banh Mi's - the BBQ pork and Grill pork. For those who are familiar with this dish, the bread is the star of this dish and the baguette was fresh and had a nice crunch with every bite. Both of the meats were seasoned well bursting with flavor and the pickled carrots and daikon were nice and thick. They offer many different options for summer rolls and while the safe side of me wanted to stick with just the "traditional / original" style, we decided to venture off and got the Grilled Beef, Grilled Sausage, Shredded Pork, and Grilled Pork. All of them were delicious in their own way and they each come with different sauces. While we were there we also got the original Cafe Su Da (Vietnamese iced coffee) which was delicious but my favorited was the Salted Latte which tastes like a Salted Caramel coffee. Staff was very friendly and got all of the food and drinks out in a timely manner. Absolutely love this place and excited to have a great Banh Mi place here in Maryland without having to travel to DC / VA. read more

First time here and I really liked the cold cut bánh mì. It was super flavorful and packed with meat, pickled radish, cilantro, and jalapeños. Only thing is I wish the bread was a bit crispier and lighter--it was more on the chewy side. Service at the counter was quick and friendly. There's no real seating, but I grabbed a spot on the bench and ate there. They also have Vietnamese coffee and summer rolls, which I'd definitely try next time. read more

Accepts cash and credit card. Tons of free parking in front of restaurant. We came here after driving past there a few times. We ordered their bahi mi and their Vietnamese latte. The Vietnamese latte was very strong which I like. Never had a Vietnamese latte before. They steam heat the condense milk which is a first for me. The drink was delicious. Definitely one of the more stronger coffees I had. The grilled chicken bahi mi sandwich was made fresh. The bread was nice and chewy. Had a little crunch on the outside, The staff here were very friendly. Will definitely come back in the future. Prices are reasonable and there is a small seating if you want to eat inside. For my yelpers, this place is a must try! read more

Tried Saigon Blvd Bánh Mì in Catonsville for the first time and ordered the grilled pork bánh mì. This was my first time having that kind of sandwich, and it ended up being one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. The pork was really well seasoned and flavorful, the vegetables tasted fresh and crisp, and the bread was perfect, soft inside with a light, flaky crust on the outside. Delivery was quick too, which made the whole experience even better. read more

Good option for lunch!! Saigon Blvd Banh Mi has a wonderful lunch deal Monday thru Friday from 12 PM to 2 PM. The special is 1 banh mi and choice of a drink from their menu for $13.50. They have various options for banh mi including cold meat options, grilled meat options, and veggie option. For my banh mi, I got the combination banh mi. The meat to bread ratio was good and I liked that the put the veggies to the side. Service was fast and I was able to get my meal pretty quickly. There is no seating inside but a few tables outside if you want to sit and eat. Else, it's packed to go anyways making it a nice spot for take out. read more

I finally made it to this banh mi spot in Catonsville. I have been recommended it by a few friends and I decided to stop by as I was in the area to pick up dinner. It's definitely past casual and this is a place that reward you if you have cash on you, but they charge a dollar service fee, which is really nothing and the staff here was so so so friendly! I got their pork banh mi, and I asked for extra pickles and the jalapeños -- note to the people who want to try this place the jalapeños because it had seeds in it, was so spicy and you know you always get a random very spicy one so just FYI. The spring rolls left a little bit to be desired, but that peanut sauce had accompanied it was absolutely delicious. The family breaks their bread here fresh daily, and the Vietnamese French baguette is to die for I could eat loaves and loaves of this bread. If you're ever near Catonsville, I would definitely stop here. They do close a little early around seven or eight so it's not super easy for summer dinners but definitely easy in the winter when the sunsets early. read more

Super solid bahn mi spot in the area. Perfect spot for lunch in the busy area here. Had the Vietnamese iced coffee- sweet and strong! For lunch I had the roast pork and special bun mi. It was everything you want- good amount of meat, soft and crunchy bread, amazing flavor- all for an amazing price. Of note not a lot of seating here, so be prepared to eat in car or take it to gWould recommend! read more

My first time having Banh Mi! This was a great place to have my first one. It's mainly a take out place with some inside standing bar against the windows along with a few outdoor picnic tables. The staff were really friendly here. My friend and I both ordered their grilled chicken Banh Mi with the veggies inside. Apparently they make their own bread in house which is so cool! So you know their bread is nice and fresh. I also got their Coconut Milk Matcha. It was very refreshing and not too sweet. Our sandwiches were ready shortly and they were huge. All the veggies tasted very fresh and the Banh mi sauce was great in the sandwich. It was a very filling but great meal. Can't believe I haven't had Banh Mi's before but will def be getting more in the future! read more

I have found my new go to banh mi spot in Ellicott City! Saigon Blvd is dishing out fresh, flavorful baguettes of all kinds, alongside other Vietnamese small plates. I ordered delivery on a Sunday evening, which was quick and error free. I started with the veggie summer rolls, which the perfect start to the meal. Clearly freshly rolled with ample but not overstuffed filling. Pro tip: order a side of peanut sauce as it does not automatically accompany. Moving on to the veggie baguette--wow. That crunchy exterior meets pillowy soft, slightly sweet interior makes for a 5 star baguette to carry a flavorful, texturally diverse filling. The tofu is thinly cut, pairing nicely with the julienned pickled veggies and fresh coriander. Already looking forward to my next order, Saigon Blvd team! read more

How this place has anything less than a 5 star is beyond me. Their Banh Mi is filled to the brim with Vietnamese deli meat, spread, and pate. You can just tell by looking at the cross section that this Banh Mi is absolute fire! Each bite is euphoric as you get an equal amount of bread and meat... like I can't stress enough how perfect the ratio is. Virginia Banh Mi shops are so skimpy compared to this place and I'm really sad that Catonsville is so far from me. Saigon Blvd Banh Mi is the best Banh Mi in the DC, Maryland, Virginia area - someone prove me wrong because currently no one is topping them!!!! read more

Really enjoyed their Vietnamese coffee/latte and the salted latte was also really good. I liked the salted one because it balanced out the sweetness. Banh mi was so good! Now we don't have to drive all the way to Eden Center. Pricier than Eden Center but I think it's worth it. Buy 7 get one free. CC does have an added 2.5% fee. Husband is Vietnamese and he liked the original. I liked the grilled pork - comes with pate and the meat was very flavorful. The bread is good and everything tasted very fresh. Their pate is a bit chunkier but I enjoyed it. The che dessert was also really good and not too sweet. They did not skimp on the mung bean which I love. read more

This place is located in a shopping strip with plenty of parking. The establishment does not have tables/chairs- take out only. I ordered the grilled pork bahn mi. The bread was not as crispy as I prefer. The meat filling was nice/ good ratio. The pate had a really funky grainy texture that I couldn't really get over. read more

The Banh Mi was delicious authentic! Not only was their Vietnamese coffee delicious, but their summer rolls were refreshing and their sandwiches were refreshing and well balanced! Great pickled veggies and a very consistent flavor. The ladies putting together the food were so attentive and kind. They worked hard and communicated well together. And though the shop was small, it was intimate and had a few tables outside, it was too hot to eat there so we took it home! Maybe when the weather cools, we can try eating there. read more

Great sandwiches and EXCELLENT coffee. Saigon Blvd Banh Mi is a small but inviting cafe serving up Vietnamese style sandwiches and coffee. For those unfamiliar with Banh Mi, it's a sandwich made with pickled vegetables, meat, herbs, and nuzzled inside a French baguette. The staff in the kitchen are experienced chefs who've innovated by using atypical fillings, leading to a culinary experience that's a must for Banh Mi fans. If it's your first time enjoying a Banh Mi, try their Grilled Beef, Grilled Pork, or BBQ Pork Banh Mi. These are their most traditional sandwiches and are a solid choice, packed with tons of meat and vegetables. Many of Saigon Blvd's sandwiches have interesting ingredients such as pate, Vietnamese sausages, and French ham. If you want a mix of everything (and are feeling adventurous), try their Combination Sandwiches, which has all of the above, leading to each bite giving you different flavors and textures. The coffee is my favorite part of Saigon Blvd. Vietnamese coffee is bold, sweet, and highly caffeinated. A good Vietnamese coffee should be easy to drink and give you enough energy for the rest of the day. Saigon Blvd delivers this in SPADES. And not only is their traditional Vietnamese coffee some of the best I've ever had, but they have variations of their coffee, including cold brews and mixing in yogurt and juice into their coffees. Are they strange additions for Vietnamese cuisine? Yes, but memorably delicious. A few things to note: Space within Saigon is limited. Only a handful of chairs and tables, so takeout is the way to go. Their coffees are iced by default, but will make you delicious hot coffee by request. Bahn Mi usually have jalapenos inside them, so if you can't handle spicy, make sure to ask for no jalapenos. Saigon Blvd is taking bold innovations in Vietnamese cuisines and I can't wait to see what they'll offer me next! read more

This place has the best Banh Mi!! Fresh crunchy bread and fresh ingredients that cause a crunch as you devour the swirls of flavor. Wash it all down with a salted plum lemonade tea and you are in culinary heaven. Great service and friendly staff. This is not an eat in type restaurant but they have tables outside. We will definitely go again. Would give them 10+ stars. read more

The grilled pork banh mi is incredible, as is the Viet iced latte. New favorite spot!

4.5 pretty solid Banh Mi, i ordered two the red pork belly and the beef banh mi. i enjoyed the beef banh mi the most, the red pork belly was not bad. Next time when i go there again i will get the spicy vietnamese pepper if they have that. Their bread is also baked in house. read more

We had a wonderful experience at Saigon blvd bánh mì! The red pork bánh mì with the patê was delicious! The staff was extremely friendly and they even taught me how to say "delicious" and "thank you" in Vietnamese. The sandwich was so good that half way through eating it I walked back into order 2 more and to get an order of the shrimp and pork summer rolls. I will definitely be coming back to try more of their menu. read more

Not bad at all! A small storefront dedicated to slinging out a variety of banh mi! The inside is small with only a few counters to eat at, so it's clear their model is mostly takeout. My wife got a grilled chicken banh mi, I got the red pork belly banh mi, Child #1 got the vegetarian banh mi, and Child #2 got the original spring roll. We all split some veggie spring rolls as well. -Chicken is solid and a safe bet for a first timer daunted by the options. -The pork belly was good. I was expecting more chunks rather than deli-style slices, but still tasty. -The vegetarian was also surprising; instead of chunks or long pieces of tofu, the filling was shredded tofu mixed with rice noodles. It was nice and gave a bit of a shredded meat texture. -The rolls are good and the various dipping sauces are all winners. I'm not used to a roll having pork and shrimp in it, so I think I would go for a simpler one than the original next time, but that's just me. All sandwiches come with sliced pickled radishes and carrots along with some cilantro and sliced jalapeño. It's worth noting that you can get a single baguette for just $1, which picky Child #2 enjoyed. The quality is good enough that I think I would buy a few of these next time I want to make some Mexican tortas at home (which have similar French Imperialist roots as banh mi). They also have a big selection of Vietnamese teas and coffees, both hot and cold options. These aren't cheap ($6.50 of this writing) and probably where the store makes most of their money. We skipped them this time, but I think I'll try some next time. Because the model is mostly sandwiches or rolls, the food can be ready really fast and is generally cheap (where can you get something for less than $10 anymore? As of this writing, all banh mi are $9 or less and yet still filling). I called in an order and when I arrived 10 minutes later, they were ready for me. Would try again; come check them out sometime! read more

10/10. I was greeted as soon as I walked in the door with a smile. There was an amazing lunch special. Very clean and organized. So happy I chose to eat here for lunch. It was so fast and easy to order. The sandwich being sooo delicious was the icing on top, and I'm glad she asked about my dietary restrictions before I ordered because I don't eat pork. read more

There aren't a lot of banh mj places in the area, but this place is a must! Their prices are a little higher than what you would expect in Eden center, but their subs are overstuffed and worth the money. During lunch, you can get a deal with a drink and sandwich for $14. Their staff seem really friendly and open to five suggestions. Try this place out if you need your Vietnamese coffee fix too! read more

From the moment we walked in, Andy and Xanh's teams' service was warm and attentive. We tried several of their summer rolls and they were fresh and packed with a lots of protein compared to other places where it's 90% noodles. Xanh and team always do a great job making Vietnamese coffee which was strong and rich with just the right amount of sweetness. Their banh mi bread is made fresh everyday and they give so much. We're super excited that we don't have to drive 2 hours down to Ba Le in Fairfax, Va to get great Vietnamese banh mi anymore. We'll definitely be back weekly! read more

I really like this place so far! They have a good menu with a decent amount of options. I also like their unique drink menu. I got the pandan tea for something different & I enjoyed it. I got the veggie bạnh mi & it was packed w everything. They definitely got the ratios right. The bread is crisp as well. The only downside is there's not much seating inside the restaurant since it's more of a takeaway place & I wish they toasted the sandwich - it was a bit cold & I wish it was a little warmer. Otherwise I liked it! I also like how they include a sauce too. I know they're new so I hope they stay here for awhile so I don't have to make the drive to Eden read more

Finally. FINALLY! I have been waiting for decades-literally--for a Baltimore-area banh mi place. And, now there's one about a mile west of 695. Hooray. Is this the best banh mi I've ever had? No. I had a great one in HCMC, and closer to home, at the banh mi shop at Eden Center. However, Eden Center makes for a day trip from Baltimore, and that's a bit far to travel for a sandwich, even a great one. So even though SBBM doesn't have the best banh mi in the history of banh mis, it is very good. The house baked bread is light and a bit crumbly in just the right ways. Not a criticism, but the sandwich is the largest of its type I've ever had. A bit of a criticism is that the proportion of the fantastic veggies to the meat is a bit off. (I prefer more veggies.) However, I'll take it. And, I'll request more veggies the next time. Who doesn't love an easy fix? And, let's add that it's a clean and comfortable carry out. The owner, Andy, will even take one of the inside benches that turns into a table outside for you if you want to eat there. I'm delighted to do what I can to support Andy as he lives his dream of operating a banh mi shop since it melds so closely with my dream of having one nearby. As far as the critical reviews, I say just give this new place a bit of time. SBBM is now firmly on our rotation. Perhaps given a chance to work out some kinks, it will be on yours, too. Now, if I can only find someone who dreams of opening of Malaysian/Singaporean roti shop! read more

I have been waiting for this place to open! I love a spring roll and these were delicious. I got the shrimp spring roll without pork. The order came with two very large spring rolls and dipping peanut sauce. So fresh and hearty. I also got the veggie banh mi. It came with the veggies on the side to avoid it getting soggy. OMG as a pescatarian I miss out on sandwiches sometimes. But you could not tell the difference the freshness and that addictive banh mi sauce! I ate my food for two days it was so much. The cost was very reasonable too. The place is just for takeout and the service was quick and very pleasant. The place looked so clean. Loved my experience and I'm sad I don't have it for lunch tomorrow. My new favorite sandwich spot! read more

Service was decent. We only ordered two drinks. The Vietnamese coffee (cà phê sữa đá) wasn't great -- I couldn't really taste the coffee, and it lacked that usual strong aftertaste. It just seemed off, maybe the coffee-to-condensed-milk ratio was wrong. On the other hand, the strawberry lemon refresher was much better. We might come back to try the bánh mì, but we'll definitely skip the coffee. The place itself looks clean and well-kept. read more

The service was a little slow, but my hope is that is due to being a new store and they are still working on the process. The sandwiches themselves were pretty good I thought. The bread is baked there and has a lighter/crispy crust which I really like. Some places bake bread with a very hard crust with ridges and all that, and it can cut the roof of your mouth if you are not careful or don't crush those parts first. I'm not a fan of that kind of outside, so I like the bread here. They put a good amount of filling inside the sandwich and there is a good selection as well. They sold out of shredded pork and grilled beef options when we got there, which was unfortunate. I would like to try those next time. read more

I've been waiting for this place to open for a bit now so I was eager to try. I came by about an hour before closing, so it wasn't busy. Service was friendly and I didn't have to wait long for the food. The store is not too spacious, but there's a few tables outside if you want to eat there. - combination baguette (dac biet): From the pictures I saw on google, it looked like the meat was loaded so I was excited for the portion size. While the loaf itself was large, I don't think the meat portion met my expectations. Their website says that they bake their bread fresh in-house, so I was excited for that as well, but it tasted a little stale to me. The bread could have been crispier and fluffier. But if you hate when banh mi cuts up your mouth, you would like this lol. The veggies are included separately so that your sandwich doesn't get soggy. They even include gloves so that you can add it to your sandwich which I think is a nice touch. I like a lot of pickled veggies in my banh mi though so I'd ask for extra next time. Maybe my critiques are a result of it being the end of the night during soft opening, so I'll have to give it another go at a different time. - goi cuon (original spring roll): my partner got these and it was 2 for about $6. They were pretty chonky and he really liked them. Since it was the end of the night, they were out of the peanut sauce, so they gave us their banh mi sauce instead. We also asked for it without the pork, but they still included it :/ - Vietnamese salted latte (cafe muoi): this was really good! Strong and sweet with a touch of salt. I think I had high hopes, but I love that there's a dedicated banh mi shop in the area now. I also hope that they add vegetarian banh mi options to the menu in the future. I saw that there's sugar cane juice on the menu on their website, so I'd be excited for that to come as well. read more

Delish. I got the chicken with veggies and butter. No pate. Yuck! Hubby got the pork and we shared some spring rolls. We ordered ahead and it was fantastic. I wish there was a bit more chicken, but it's ok. It was flavorful and the bread was amazing! We will be back.watchout that there are some big jalapeños in there. I had to pick them out bc I can't do spicy. Not a big deal. read more

The location has a lot of parking but not a lot of space in the restaurant, which is a pity but they're great for takeout. They had some chairs and tables outside but it was simply too hot.

This might be my new obsession! I got the Grilled Beef Bành Mì and it was so fresh. The bread, the ingredients, the combination of flavors everything was perfection. The beef itself was tasty, but in conjunction with the pickled veggies and the cilantro, jalapeños and carrots it was amazing. A very filling sandwich. And we loveeee fresh bread! What I appreciated the most it is that the chef made the sandwich in the front of the house and did it very quickly. And yet it was still such a neat and plentiful sandwich. I feel like the picture does do the sandwich justice because that sandwich is very deep, and the ingredients were somewhat hidden yet packed! In addition to the sandwich I also got their Original Summer Roll which had shrimp and pork inside along with a ton of fresh veggies and noodles. came with a divine peanut sauce. Pretty standard summer roll but Very fresh very tasty and the mint gave it an invigorating touch that just made the meal perfection. And the service was great, super clean establishment and very friendly staff. I'll definitely be back. read more
