Banh Mi Station — Restaurant in Tukwila

It pains me to write this review because I LOVE LOVE LOVE Banh Mi Station, I've been coming here since the summer of 2023, I even drive 35 mins from my home to get the pork banh mi specifically. Every time I come here the customer service is awkward but I over look it because I love the banh mi. Today I couldn't look over the fact that an employee was standing at the front eating food (hand to mouth contact, repeatedly). I've worked in food service , restaurants, private catering and more dealing with food and the public. It's a health code & unprofessional to be eating where the food is being prepared& in front of guest. I'm not mad at them for eating but it's gross to be doing that right out in the front by the food. Then he didn't wash his hands, he just finished his food and put on gloves and made some one else's food after having direct hand to mouth contact. Unfortunately I will not be eating here any more. Highly upset about that because I love banh mi station so much! Anyway if you're reading this follow @eatwithjustinm on TikTok YouTube and IG for more food...

It's my first time ordering from Banh Mi Station. I ordered the Spring Rolls, which consists of shrimp, pork, vermicelli, and lettuce. I asked for the fish sauce vs the peanut sauce that came with it.

It was 3:08 PM on a weekday, and the restaurant was selling the last box of spring rolls. They don't make any new ones. The spring rolls were decent, and the fish sauce tasted good.

Banh Mi Station serves delicious Vietnamese sandwiches and good iced coffee. You can also order spring rolls, egg rolls, and other food. I usually go for the combination sandwich.

There are pictured menus for you to see, and it's easy to understand.

I recommend a combination sandwich, egg rolls, and perhaps iced coffee...

$6.99 for a Banh Mi that taste so bad. Bread is hard and so dry. A friend told me he had Banh Mi there and to him it was the worst Banh Mi he ever had. I didn't believe him, so I went and give this place a try...to judge for myself. CONFIRMED...it is one the the worst Banh Mi I ever had. Gave them a chance, but this place let me down! I wouldn't pay $2 for their Banh Mi...they lost me forever....I will NEVER go there again.

When I left this review, I am number 17. I think the 14 reviews with 5* are their friends and family. The 5* reviews are 5-7months ago, and this place only been open for about 4 months now...how????

This place made a bad name for our traditional Vietnamese...
