Banh Mi Dan Han — Restaurant in Spring Valley

Banh Mi Dan Han

It is a hidden gem of a restaurant on Spring Mountain Road in Las Vegas. It captures the essence of authentic Vietnamese dining with a welcoming ambiance that feels like a warm embrace. As you step inside, you are greeted by the intimate decor and the scent of mouthwatering dishes prepared in the kitchen. The atmosphere is enhanced by friendly staff who embody the spirit of Vietnamese hospitality, ensuring that each guest feels right at home.

The menu at Banh Mi Dan Han celebrates Vietnam's rich culinary heritage, offering an impressive variety of dishes that cater to diverse tastes. With options ranging from aromatic noodle soups to crispy spring rolls and an array of delightful desserts, there's something for everyone to savor. Each dish is prepared using traditional techniques and quality ingredients that honor the authentic flavors of Vietnam.

I couldn't resist indulging in their famous Vietnamese drip coffee accompanied by a classic Banh Mi during my visit. The coffee, brewed slowly through a delightful drip process, boasts a deep, robust flavor profile with notes that dance on the palate. Adding sweet condensed milk transforms this beverage into a creamy, rich, energizing, and satisfying treat—perfect for kickstarting my meal.

The Banh Mi itself is truly the star of the show. Served on a freshly baked baguette that's light and slightly crisp outside, it offers the perfect vessel for a medley of flavorful fillings. The sandwich is generously packed with chả lụa (Vietnamese sausage), fresh cilantro, crunchy cucumber slices, and tangy pickled carrots and daikon. What elevates this dish is the addition of creamy pâté, which adds a luxurious richness, and a drizzle of spicy red chili sauce that offers just the right amount of heat. A light mayonnaise spread complements the flavors beautifully, resulting in a harmonious balance of textures and tastes that make each bite unforgettable.

Banh Mi Dan Han isn't just a cafe; it's an immersive experience that transports you to Vietnam with its authentic flavors and warm environment. This establishment is a treasure for anyone who enjoys genuine Vietnamese cuisine in Las Vegas. Whether you're a local or just visiting, stopping here will surely be a highlight of your...

Overall: 2.9/5 [take out]

We placed a phone order for pick-up. Upon arrival, no one was at the front, so we browsed the fridge and other displayed food items. After waiting a while, we called out to the kitchen, as it seemed only one person was working. The payment process was quick and easy. Fortunately, they accepted cards and offered a buy 5, get 1 free banh mi deal. Each sandwich was labeled and numbered, which was very helpful.

Unfortunately, the banh mis didn't quite meet our expectations. The bread wasn't toasted, the sandwiches weren't warm nor had a lot of filling, and the flavors were inconsistent or lacking.

#1 Banh Mi Dac Biet/House Special ($6.25): Average. The pate was the only part that stood out.

#2 Banh Mi Thit Nuong/Grilled Pork ($6.25): Some parts were good while other parts were okay. However, this banh mi was the second best one we tried.

#5 Banh Mi Ba Chi/Pork Belly ($6.25): The pink skin border was tough and had to be discarded. Eating was challenging due to the need to constantly remove the skin, and the pork belly lacked flavor.

#11 Banh Mi Pho ($6.75): This was the best of the 6 we tried. It had the most flavor and tasted good. You have to eat it right away or else the bread will get soggy.

#12 Banh Mi Bo Nuong/Grilled Beef ($6.75): This one had an interesting flavor profile that I couldn't put my finger on. I think it has a lemongrass taste, but couldn't really tell due to the small portion of meat.

#13 Banh Mi Bo La Lot/Beef Wrapped in Wild Betel Leaf ($6.75): The flavors were different than what we were expecting. We weren't fans and didn't like the...

Mood - Bahn Mi

You know when it's warm outside and nothing really sounds good. But a sandwich always can hit the spot. In my food world a Bahn Mi can always perk up my spirit. My daughter once described a Bahn Mi as Pho on a bread minus the broth. Now that has become our thing when introducing other family to our love of this beloved sandwich.

Upon entering was quickly greeted and asked if we had questions. We did as the the majority of the menu is all of the types of Bahn Mi they have available. However we saw a gentleman eating Stew and was def curious about that. We were shown the smaller wall menu that had the other options. You order at the front counter, pay, and the Food is brought out to you.

Opted for that Grilled Pork Bahn Mi, Beef Noodle Stew, peach tea and Guava Nectar Juice. Can I say I was very pleased? 100%. Everything satisfied the palette.

Interior is a decent size. There are a few table and chair arrangements. Everything was very clean. Music was playing in the background and a television was on as well.

Would def recommend- pricing was very reasonable. Customer service was on point. Everyone was very courteous...
