‼️ WARNING ‼️

The BEST FRIED SPRING ROLLS I’ve ever had in Europe AND in the United States. If you want to experience a spiritual awakening and meet a Vietnamese God through your taste buds, then you must order them. I am Vietnamese and these come close to what I know is home. The filling is so tasty and the wrap is crunchy, crispy, and chewy. It’s seriously the best spring roll and we ordered 3 orders to go. I am a professional food photographer and have been exposed to hundreds of restaurants and this place has now reached my top 3. I am shocked this hidden gem isn’t famous.

The banh mi was fantastic and vermicelli bowls were very filling. There’s so much history behind the banh mi’s(google it). It is an amazing fusion of a French baguette and Vietnamese toppings. I would recommend a first timer to eat one here as well. They can set the standard for what a good banh mi is. 🤌🏼

If you go, bring cash as they don’t accept card.

💯 recommend....

O Bahn Mi is a nice place with good food. I go here reasonably often, and both the Bahn Mi sandwiches and the noodles are very good. The food comes out at a reasonably fast speed and the place itself is quite pleasant. The prices are also fair. The menu itself is a bit limited and dosen't change, and there are very few appetizers available. The restaurant is also somewhat small, so it can be difficult to get a seat sometimes, and other times you might have to wait in line to order if it's a busy day.

However, I would still...
