I got the Italian sausage and bacon Banh Mi sandwich with spicy Cajun fries and I was really impressed with everything. I loved all the fresh veggies and spices.

I really thought I had reviewed Ba Xuyen before. I first ate here pre-pandy and it never occurred…read moreto me that I hadn't chimed in about this awesome spot. Well, let's clear that up now. The aunties are mentioned often in other reviews, and that's because they're amazing. They'll gladly explain what you need, especially when it comes to the super tasty (and extremely inexpensive) deserts that populate racks and the drink fridges here. Some are sweet, some are sour (the deserts, that is), they'll let you know. Honesty since a cake here is $5, you can afford to try everything! How on to the main reason that you came, the Banh Mi. You literally can't go wrong with any of the eight main sandwiches here. I've tried them all so you don't have to, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't. The bread is crispy, the ingredients are super fresh, and the tastes combine perfectly. The decor is perfect for this kind of spot. No frills. There are three tables and a bunch of chairs. It's exactly what I want in a takeout type place. They concentrate on the food. So, to wrap this one up. Go. I'd say that I'll be back, but I've been coming here for years. If you haven't, it's time to start.

I've seen a char siu butcher waltz in and order a sandwich and a pack of cigarettes seemingly telepathically. There's even a little adorable cat that sleeps on the counter here and then. Above all, the food goes unexpectedly hard. I usually order a chopped cheese on a roll with fries that comes with a drink. Can't go wrong with that and the price isn't bad at all either (though they did increase their prices recently). The wings are usually bomb too. Crispy with a lot of flavor and color. I've gotten their lamb over rice too which was pretty good, but you're better off buying that from a halal cart. The cooks and the dude working behind the counter are usually really nice. They'll ask if you want everything on your sandwich and they'll give you ketchup. I was also reminded that I could get a free soda too, which was pretty cool since the guy didn't have to do that. The reason this place isn't getting 5 stars from me is because one of the guys working from the counter tried to slide his phone number to me and motioned me to call him sometime. He looked well over 50 and I could pass for a freshman in highschool. The lad really gave me the creeps and I get paranoid now and then walking by there. But alas, time has passed. Now I just go here whenever I can visibly check the dude isn't manning the counter because their chopped cheese and wings are insanely good.

The lady that helped me went to the kitchen so I asked another. The lady that helped me came back and both of them said I didn't get any stream rice noodle dish. I'm like I got one and I want soy sauce with it. She said I don't need soy sauce and if I want it is 25 cent. I just left. I spent $15 there. I got the rice noodle dish, ha gow, shu mai and fun gao. I also got 2 bread and a milk tea. All I'm asking for is soy sauce and she's going to charge me 25 cent...? This is bad business. I want soy sauce with my dimsum dish... who are they to say that I don't need it...? I will not be going back. BTW I've gotten similar dish from other bakeries and was given soy sauce.

This is my favorite takeout pho place! I've ordered from here multiple times…read more I would always order the summer roll, spring rolls, and sliced brisket pho. The summer roll has the right amount of spring and always lots of noodles and lettuce. The spring rolls always arrive still hot and still so crispy and good. The pho will come separately, a container of the soup and then another container of everything else. The soup would always still be hot! I always pour the soap into a bigger bowl that I have and then put everything else in. It never disappoints!

You know when a place has a limited menu they take care of all their foods. We ordered a pork bahn mi and a chicken bahn mi. An order of pirk dumplings and 2 drinks. The lychee drink and the taro milk drink with boba. The taro drink was creamy and light when drinking. The lychee drink was like a lychee flavor soda but so refreshing. Definitely get the lychee if you are unsure as that is what the worker recommended when i asked. The dumplings were small but yummy with their homemade sauce. I wish they were bigger but no other complaints. The bahn mi's were delicious i got the prok and the flavoring were juicy with their homemade sauce pickled carrots and cucumbers slices balancing it out. The bread was so crispy i throughly enjoyed. I will stop by again another time for the delicious Pho smell that was at the restaurant.
