Reviews Cafe Banh Mi

Biggest and most savory banh mi I have ever seen. Their chicken pho is phenomenal, everything was just seasoned enough and the broth was the highlight! I come in here every few days or so for breakfast since they've always been consistent with their quality

Good size hoagie, thicker bread than the traditional bread, could be 10inches & wider, for $8.50, thou no prices listed any where. Competitive lunch pricing comparing to surrounding stores, but can't beat ID. Getting 3 banh mi was a bit slow & we were the only order. The place is hard to find, follow Google map, then go around the South side of the building and look for a sidewalk sign. 50% chance return if we're in the area again for bánh mi cravings.

I'm so glad I went out of my way to visit Cafe Banh Mi. Their hours are 7am to 5pm so it's hard to visit because I work in another part of town. I found myself with a day off and in the area and decided to make a stop. The restaurant is on the ground floor of a business park building and it looks like it. Don't let that deter you though because I genuinely think they make some of the best banh mi in Seattle. I arrived around 12:30pm and there were a couple people who had ordered and some to-go orders. I decided to compare their banh mi to others I've had in Seattle so I tried their lemongrass pork (#6) and a pork sirloin (#11). The orders took less than 10 minutes which was totally fine with me and was definitely worth the wait. They are cooking the meat to order which I don't always see at the best banh mi places. I took the sandwiches home and was immediately impressed with both sandwiches. The lemongrass pork was generously stuffed in the sandwich along with daikon, carrots, cucumbers, cilantro, and jalapenos. It's by far the most pork I've had in a banh mi in Seattle and probably the most flavorful. The pork was perfectly seasoned and cooked and was balanced nicely with the vegetables. The baguette was at a good point as well - not too crunchy but not soggy either. The pork sirloin was amazing as well. It was like pulled pork but seasoned with soy sauce. Like the other sandwich, everything was balanced perfectly. I'm still thinking about those sandwiches and need to go back soon. I've had banh mi's all around the Seattle area and it's top 2 or 3 in my book.

A solid combination Banh mi. Does not skimp on the fillings, Pate had great flavor.

What a fantastic place to get lunch! My wife and I found this place on our way in to town and decided to give it a shot. The place is very clean and simple and the service is some of the best I've had. The people were so kind and friendly, it was a great introduction to Seattle. We both had the lemongrass pork, some banana bread and Thai tea and it was all so delicious and very affordable. We loved everything and the sandwich was especially good. Juicy without being soggy, flavorful and fresh. It was one of the best, most satisfying sandwiches I've had. If you are in the area you should definitely check this place out for a relaxed, tasty meal!

The sandwiches are delicious, filling, and reasonably priced—definitely a must try! The customer service was exceptional, which was what made this sandwich shop really stand out. We love supporting small businesses where the people are friendly and the food is delicious! We tried the chicken breast Banh mi (Banh mi=sandwich); chicken teriyaki sandwich; and the lemongrass pork sandwiches; they were all yummy! We will be back for sure! Like other reviewers mentioned, the cafe is inside an office building. Parking is easy—they have spots right at front for 2 hour parking. When walking into the office building, take a right, and walk all the way to the end of the hallway. You won’t regret coming here!

Cafe Banh Mi has a relaxed atmosphere and the costumer service is phenomenal! I tried the Vietnamese coffee and it was bit too strong for me. They then made me a Vietnamese tea to try for free. Which by the way was amazing! It doesn't end there! Thinking there may have been a mistake with the order, I asked about it. Yet, it was me. I forgot which pork banh mi I ordered last time and got mixed up. Which I told them it was fine. I love banh mi! Low and behold they came out with the one I originally wanted and guess what... You got it, free of charge again! They went above and beyond and did not have to. Very impressed. Thank you! As well as thank you for some of the great conversations we've had. Personal, kind and caring for all of your customers.

This place is amazing! A bit hard to find bc it's in an office building, but wow - the lady there last week made my day, she had extra tofu banh mi so she gave me three sandwiches! My friends who received them were also extremely happy. :) :) Delicious and super nice.
