    B2 - Banh Mi Bo Nuong (Grilled Beef Banh Mi)
    John A.

    It's exciting to find a phenomenal banh mi place south of Boston. If you are still discovering the world of banh mi, like I am, I am finding that the family forward places are offering food with more depth of flavor. This place was no exception. My bánh mì bò nướng had the right amount of heat, crusty/pillowy bread and nice crunch on the vegetables. I am told that the bread is made on premises so freshness should be (and was that day) nearly guaranteed. As seems to be an unspoken standard, the sandwich was made with lightning speed. Unfortunately for me, I was hungry, so I didn't savor as much as I wanted to (not quite a Son Goku but more like a Yogi with a freshly baked pie). Ruminate on that one as you head to Banh Mi Boston for some great delights....

    Bread so hard you can't even bite into it.

    Bread is so hard to bite into!!! I just picked up a cold cut and couldn't even bite into the whole sandwich. The inside was good but what a waste for $8. If you come here make sure the bread is fresh.

    With so many banh mi spots popping up everywhere due to trends, banh mi Boston takes the "favorite" spot on my list. For some odd reason, my stomach cannot handle most banh mi's sold in and around Boston. I love a good banh mi but after one or two bites, I get sick to my stomach - almost like clock work, every, single, time. Not sure if it's the msg or additives or what but I was about to give up on enjoying banh mi's unless I made it at home. Enter Banh Mi Boston - a banh mi shop that looks standard but tastes homemade and is definitely made with love. Banh mi Boston banh mi tastes homemade and definitely does not give me a stomachache or induces an msg coma. With vegetarian, pescatarian, and omnivore options - you can certainly find a banh mi catered to you here. Everyone gets the standard cold cut sandwich and that is a deliciously safe choice. But if you're feeling adventurous, the beef sandwich and fish cake sandwich is even more of a flavor bomb! They also sell traditional viet dishes that are worth a try - my favorite is the banh beo (mochi like rice paddies with mungbean, shrimp dust, and scallions with fish sauce dipping sauce) and the bot chien (fried rice cake with egg omlette and pickled veggies). The egg rolls are delicious and aromatic as well. They also sell traditional snacks and to go meals. My favorite of those dishes is the sticky rice with steamed pork and sausage slices tossed in a sweet soy sauce. Just old school comfort food. The shop is always spotless and service is always so friendly. The shop owner is so sweet and polite. She's in the works of opening a second location in downtown boston in the food court and plans to extend her menu to noodle soups too! Can't wait!

    First time getting banh mi in Boston and, coming from San Jose, the bar is high for viet food. I was really excited to see bot chien on the menu, since it's not a super well known dish! Ordered through Yelp's online ordering and it was ready for pickup within 5 minutes. Parking is street parking only but took less than 2 minutes to find a spot on a Saturday afternoon. All the food was pretty good! i do wish the sauce for the bot chien were a bit stronger, and that they put Maggie sauce on the banh mi like most places on the west coast do, but it definitely satisfied my cravings!

    Freshly made banh mi loaded with fresh ingredients. Super good! We tried the cold cuts, bbq pork and bbq beef. They were even good the next day lightly toasted in the oven.

    Needed a new local bahn mi shop for a quick and cheap lunch and Banh Mi Boston was exactly what I was looking for. I got the grilled pork sandwich which had nice crunchy cuts of fatty pork. The bread was fresh and the veggie toppings were tangy with the pickled veggies and spicy with the jalapeños. At $5.50 per sandwich, you won't find a better value. I also tried a few prepared items in the fridge. The pork rice wrap rolls were fresh and tasty. The shredded pork and rice made a nice reheated lunch the next day for $3. Sandwiches are made in front of you ala Subway. No need to order ahead as they are fast and efficient. Highly recommend visiting if you are in Quincy.

    Great Banh mi and friendly service. We came on a late Sunday afternoon so a lot of the other snacks/desserts were gone. We got Banh mi thit nguoi and Banh mi heo nuong (they ran out of Bo nuong). I personally love toasting up my Banh mi to eat later in the day, or the next day. It has great flavors and a good amount of meat in both. There are 2-3 small tables and bar seating (3 chairs). They don't have any take out menus at this time.

    Saw this spot a couple days ago after heading home from the gym and knew we had to try it. First impression when walking in, cleanness and coziness. It's a small Vietnamese sub shop with other varieties to pick from. Took a glimpse through their menu and saw bun Bo hue. I will definitely try it next time! I settled for the traditional banh mi which is banh mi thit nguoi. Their baguette is really fresh and crispy! Portion and size was perfect. It's a must try! Will come back and try the rest of their menu! Another addition to this review , the staff is super nice! I'm assuming they're the owners of the shop. Great hospitality!

    Menu with new prices

    Super nice people working there and yummy dishes! Lots of hot soup dishes and sandwiches to choose from. Prices weren't too bad. Give this place a try!

    This is the most disappointing place I've ever been to. The taste and texture of bang mi were awful! It was my first and last time visiting. I will never return. I ordered the bbq pork bank mi, but there was barely any meat, and it was very salty and dried. Almost like chewy hard jerky meat. The bread was also not fresh. It's not worth the $7 dollar value

My only issue is how tightly they pack the tables--you literally couldn't share a secret with your date without flanking tables hearing you. If I'd have known, I'd have asked to sit at the bar, which would have been more intimate (so four stars, but food is the bomb). Definitely make reservations--there will be a line at 8 pm. The speakers played 80s hip hop. The place is lively to say the least. We had the duck salad, mussels (ask for an extra order of charred bread WHEN you order--needed to sop up the delicious sauce). It took 15 minutes for extra bread when I realized the two pieces weren't enough. We also tried the beef cheek fried rice, short rib (amazing) and the crawfish noodles. The rice and noodles had fish roe throughout which made for a delightful mouth feel. My date had the lychee martini. I had the lychee mocktail, which was delicious. For dessert, we shared a slice of avocado cheesecake! Odd but totally delicious with a cookie-like crust and ribbon of brown butter buttercream. Chef's kiss all around. Loved our server, but even she apologized for abandoning us for a bit. The place was slammed!

The hummus is like a deconstructed Vietnamese sandwich that packs a punch of flavor. The bread is grilled nicely and you'll definitely want more bread to use up the hummus.

The shaking beef is marinated well with loads of vegetables.

Ca Phe Kem Pho Mai (Vietnamese coffee with salted foam) was delicious. Strong coffee with a sweet and salty taste. I could've eaten the foam with a spoon. The salmon toast wasn't bad but I would make a couple of changes (1) reduce the cream cheese - it looks good/aesthetic but overwhelms the flavor (2) sub the avocado paste to fresh avocado, it had a funny taste. The cookie dough croissant was good but the outer cover was too crispy, it didn't have the flakiness of a croissant. I also wish they would have some other substitutions for their banh mi like chicken or shrimp or tofu. Hopefully someday!

Even if the waitress was new, I have seen at other places where a more tenured staff would be with the new one during training to ensure smooth experience with the customers. It was not busy and there were a lot of waiters standing in the back so I am not sure where the mishaps came from 2) Food: at a pho restaurant, it is extremely hard to go wrong with pho! It is fundamental! Especially when we only asked for a kid pho (which is just broth and noodle)! The pho came out with the noodle clumped up, and when my daughter started eating it, the noodle was still hard (it means it was not cooked enough) The manager was very welcoming when we first came in, which signal to me they do care about their business. Unfortunately with the experience today, I will likely not come back!
