⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently visited this gem for their vegetarian/vegan bánh mì, and it was absolutely delightful. The baguette was perfectly crisp on the outside and soft inside, filled with firm tofu—and topped with an umami-rich mushroom pâté that added incredible depth (like in the best plant-based versions elsewhere) . The pickled carrots, daikon, cucumber and fresh herbs were bright, crunchy, and perfectly balanced.

The service was warm and welcoming—truly kind-hearted people who clearly care about both their food and their guests. They made me feel welcome from the moment I arrived and were happy to answer questions about ingredients and vegan options. The atmosphere felt genuine and relaxed.

This bánh mì is a standout for anyone seeking a flavorful, ethical, and satisfying sandwich—whether you’re vegetarian, vegan, or just a fan of fresh, well-crafted food. Highly recommend giving them a try—you...

I ended up trying this place because another reviewer stated Huynh Hoa wasn't as good as nearby bánh mì places.

I decided to try a Vegan Spicy Tofu (39K/$1.55). The guy mistakenly started making a Mixed or a Sliced Sausage but realized midway and corrected it. Why that matters is the worker spread some peanut butter (I believe) on the bread. I don't know if that is supposed to be for every sandwich or just certain ones.

I got back home, and you can see a clear difference in size between here and Huynh Hoa. I took a couple bites but saved the rest for later. Either I could taste peanut butter, or I made it up in my mind. Other than that, I ate the entire sandwich, and it wasn't bad. If it didn't have the PB, I probably would have really liked it.

I know it's vegan, so it couldn't have it, but if it was minus the PB and had a couple of fried eggs on it, I think I would...
