" Such a delightful spot! The banh mi are made fresh right in front of you, and you can taste the quality in every bite. I was particularly impressed with how they handled my dietary restrictions. Highly recommended for anyone looking for great Vietnamese food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really excited to try the banh mi here after hearing so much hype. Unfortunately, I found it to be a bit lackluster. While the bread was crispy, I was expecting a little more flavor from the fillings. The service was quick, though, and the ambiance was cute. I might give it another go, but I won't rush back. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food is solid here! I tried the vegetarian banh mi and loved it. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful, but I found the price a bit high for a small sandwich. Overall, a nice place for a quick bite if you're nearby. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely love this place! The banh mi was so flavorful, especially the grilled pork with plenty of fresh veggies. The owners are incredibly welcoming, making the experience even better. I always leave with a smile and a full stomach. Can’t wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had the original banh mi for the first time this week—it was an experience! The flavors are authentic, and the crispy bread combined with fresh fillings is just perfect. The only reason I didn't give full marks was the relatively small amount of meat. However, the taste definitely outweighs that minor detail. " (*Curated Review*)

" Tried M Sandwiches based on a friend's recommendation and I totally get why people love it! I got the original banh mi, and it was outstanding. I do wish they had more seating for customers because it’s usually busy, which speaks to how good the food is! Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" I first heard about M Sandwiches from a friend and immediately had to try it. Safe to say I was blown away! I tried the tofu banh mi and was impressed by the balance of flavors—and they're generous with the portions! Service was fast and friendly. I'll definitely be returning! " (*Curated Review*)
