Banh Mi Huong Que — Restaurant in Boston

The ice coffee is all milk. Not the Vietnamese coffee I’m used to especially for $6 this was the driest banh mi I ever had and there’s wa barely any pate. So disappointed.

• edit to respond. Maybe 1 star was harsh but we were so disappointed at how dry the sandwiches were that we didn’t even eat the other one. I don’t waste food lightly. The coffee was maybe $5+tax rounded up there either way the website also shows $6, But the coffee was mostly milk. I drink iced coffees most places I go bc it’s a favorite of mine and this is the first time I’ve ever been so disappointed. We didn’t have time to go back to make a complaint to fix anything we had already paid and left to our next destination. If you’d like some constructive criticism I’d suggest going somewhere like Ba Le in Dorchester and see some good ratios and a great iced coffee. It’s the only place I can think of close to you that undoubtedly hits the mark every time. Their coffee is $4.85 and much more concentrated like most other places I ordered from. If I had known the sandwich would be so dry I most certainly would have ordered extra mayo and pate, but with the high ratings I had gone in expecting a better product. This is my review it’s up to people to try it themselves and up to you to either take it and correct it or not care when you have other satisfied customers. For me I...

I decided to try Banh Mi Huong Que after seeing some positive reviews, but unfortunately, my experience didn't live up to the hype. Based on the quality of the food, I would recommend exploring other options for Vietnamese food in Dorchester or Quincy area.

I ordered the Lemongrass Steak Banh Mi and the Lemongrass Pork Rice Bowl. The Banh Mi was underwhelming—the bread was soft but not toasted, and the steak lacked any real flavor. While it wasn't terrible for the price, it didn't have the quality or taste I was hoping for.

The Lemongrass Pork Rice Bowl was even worse. The texture of the pork was so off that I couldn't tell if I was eating meat or paper, the texture was weird. The fish sauce also felt incomplete, lacking that essential depth of flavor. To make matters worse, I found hair in my rice. It was a disappointing meal overall, and I won't...

Swung by on a whim (usually I go to 163 on the next street) and got a Special (sandwich), iced coffee, and pre-packed spring rolls (4 pc).

Food is adequately tasty. As others said the bread was slightly thicker than desired, though I appreciate that it's soft inside, not mouth-scraping crunchy. The lady manning the counter was efficient and informative when I inquired about the ingredients on the subs. We could communicate in our language so it might have helped.

Only small surprise was that 3 things cost nearly $20 -- with the pricing on the poster wiped out, I just dove in without asking questions, figured that sub shop can't do too much damage. I get it it's the post-pandemic inflation yada yada, but is $20 for sandwich lunch the norm these days? To be fair I split the meal with a friend so by average it was...
