Banh Mi Boy — Restaurant in Newark

Banh Mi Boy is the best place in the Delaware area for authentic Vietnamese banh mi. In fact it’s one of the best Vietnamese restaurants in Delaware! The sandwiches are always fresh and made to order. Each type of banh mi is delicious in its own right from the original to the roast pork belly. They also make a very unique and delicious “pho sandwich” that I haven’t found anywhere else. In my opinion, the banh mi are better than those that I’ve had in Philly. The summer rolls, chicken salad, lemongrass soup, and Vietnamese coffee are also delicious. All of the food is very light, but still flavorful and satisfying. Prices are also very reasonable.

The Chen family opened Banh Mi Boy several years ago after having to close their original restaurant Saigon Vietnam due to the rent increases in Newark Shopping Center. If you never got to taste their ginger chicken or pork spring rolls then you don’t know what you missed! Mr. Chen and Mrs. Chen are always friendly and very kind, and they really take pride in their work. The quality of their food is excellent and very consistent.

To the folks that complained about having to wait for their food, all I can say is that you can’t rush a good thing! Any waiting is well worth the outcome of having...

I went to Banh Mi Boy yesterday and it was as delicious as always.

I had the Curry Chicken Banh Mi, which I frequently order because it so expertly combines spice with the freshness of the veggies and the bread. It was amazing.

I also ordered a Thai Iced Tea, which I’ve had a few times but never from here. I added Boba and it was really good - sometimes Thai Iced Tea can be too sweet; it wasn’t here.

They had a special running where if you took a selfie and tagged them you could get a free menu item. I got a Garlic Bean Tofu on a croissant. The croissant is a new menu item, so it’s early days, but for their first day making this tasted great. I had it hours later (as I was very full) so by then the crunch of the croissant had reduced but it was still tasty.

Overall, Banh Mi Boy is great. The food is consistently top notch with friendly service as well. I recommend it to anyone who likes Vietnamese food or just good food in general. It’s affordable and...

Okay Banh Mi but disappointing milk tea. Got the Pork belly Banh Mi, it was decent portion for its price. I wish the carrot and daikon is pickled longer with better flavor. the Pork belly is just okay in flavor and texture. I was expecting it is juicier and caramelized as mentioned in the description. The pork belly is on the drier side but the fatty part is slightly better. Overall, the flavor is light. One of the most disappointing bubble tea I have had. The bubble is not the typical tapioca bubble, it is more like the hard jelly type bubble in canned bubble tea. The milk tea is very heavy with creamer/milk taste and barely any tea flavor, not what I would expect for a milk tea. Also the drink is full...
