Bánh Mì & Co — Restaurant in Lake View Township

The entrance can be a little hard to miss, but that hardly distracts from the quality of the food. They serve an array of Vietnamese food and do a solid job in terms of quality. However, if you're looking for an authentic Pho Bo, I'd recommend looking elsewhere. Though Bahn Mi & Co. made a tasty bowl of the quintessential Vietnamese Noodle soup, it missed the mark compared to what can be had at a non-franchise restaurant. Their meat was cooked well-done and, though it was far from too dry, lacked the punch that a more pink beef provides. There was far less basil than the dish calls for as well which left me wanting more by the time I was finished.

That being said, on a different occasion I came back to try the Bahn Mi and was much more pleasantly surprised. True to form, though still light on the spices and herbs for my taste, the Bahn Mi is definitely where this place shines.

All in all, if you have a craving for Bahn Mi and need to duck out for lunch, you can't go wrong. If it's Pho you're after, take a minute to find a local restaurant. Trust me,...

Ordered through DoorDash so I can’t comment on service and atmosphere but I can tell you this was NOT worth what I paid.

The Curry Banh Mi had good flavors but the bread was too flaky and dry. I ended up enjoying it but only after having to sauce it up myself. It’s also definitely not a generous enough portion for how much they’re charging. The Orange Chicken was AWFUL!!! The rice was bland (even for white rice) and almost had the taste and consistency of school glue. The sauce on the chicken was terrible. The second I opened the container my stomach turned because the smell was reminiscent of a terrible vomit I had in elementary school. My roommate agreed that it smelled like her cat’s hairballs. The meat was definitely not chicken and had a sponge-like texture to it. I took one bite to give it a shot and I’ll forever regret that choice.

The entire order (bag AND food) had a musty and stale odor to it, making it obvious that their shop is in desperate need of a deep clean.

Please, please, I beg of you, DON’T...

So my girlfriend picked up take out from this place and brought it home. I took a bit out of my sandwich, first bite actually, and pulled out a big, long hair. This grossed me out and I was upset, so I walked down the street to talk to them. I saw the someone whom I assumed prepared my bahn mi with her long hair down, I didn't say anything. They were nice enough, refunded my sandwich and were apologetic so I went home. Then I had a pot sticker, and immediately bit into something, hard, round and white, like a calcium pebble or something. Something that wasn't in any of the other pot stickers. Honestly the whole experience was pretty gross and disappointing. I wanted to look past the hair in the food thing because of the close proximity to me and the fact they refunded my sandwich, but having two foreign physical hazards in your food is ridiculous. Ended up getting a sunshine burger from...
