KUWAY’S BANH MI — Restaurant in Austin

Rating: 3.8/5 [delivery]

We ordered through DoorDash, and it took about an hour for the food to arrive. However, food wasn't bad for the price.

Broken Rice Combo ($14.99): The pork egg roll was just okay--not crispy. The shrimp didn't taste fresh, and wasn't deveined, but the grilled pork and chicken were solid. Overall, a mid-tier broken rice plate.

Sizzling Beef Plate / Bánh Mì Chảo ($15.50): This came with stir-fried marinated beef, Vietnamese pork meatballs, a sunny-side-up egg, pâté, Vietnamese mayo, a side salad, and toasted baguette. It looked like they mixed the pâté and mayo together--the sauce was super white and looked like bánh mì spread, so we used it that way. The beef was flavorful and well-marinated. The meatballs looked dry so I soaked them in the sauce before eating them. The salad was just a few slices of cucumbers, tomatoes, and lettuce leaves butworked as a refreshing contrast to all the salty proteins.

Bánh Mì Grilled Pork ($8.99): Loved the grilled pork--flavorful with a good amount of meat. I didn't taste any pickled carrots/daikons, just a ton of cilantro. It also came with a side sauce and a Sriracha packet, which felt random. We ended up using the sauce for our...

One of the better sandwiches in town, definitely worth the drive. I have only had the BBQ Pork Banh Mi.. and the spring rolls. Both were great and paired well with the un-sweet tea. You are given a small pager to alert you when food is ready. Staff was great, and very helpful.

It is a food-truck style setup so you might have to eat in the car on a hot day. They do have a few picnic tables available nearby so if you dont mind the heat (or in cooler weather) that might be the way to go.

I particularly like the peanut sauce for the spring rolls a bit thicker, this one was a bit runny (loose), but the taste was still there. (It was just hard to keep on the spring roll) .

( Tip: If you are not getting anything specific , like vietnamese tea or boba , you can probabbly get a drink at the store next door while you wait for...

this place is wonderful for take out! I got the Thai green milk tea & the flavor was delicious!

For entrees they have different options (bahn mi/ bao/ taco/ vermicelli) and you can choose your protein. So plenty of options for everyone.

I got the Tofu Bahn mi and it was soo good! If the bread was a lottle crispier I would say the best in town. they also have an egg option (if you eat them). Also a few of the appetizers were vegetarian!

update:

i've been coming here consistently and am still always impressed with the bahn mi!

the drinks are $5.49 but the ice waters them down a bunch so they aren't consistently super tasty. I tried ordering today with less/no ice and it shows how much is ice vs drink. it did taste WAY better though so do with that info...
