" The Bánh Mì I had here was heavenly! I am an avid fan of Vietnamese cuisine, and Don Cafe does not disappoint. Their sandwiches come loaded with fresh ingredients, and you can taste the authenticity in every bite. However, I did feel a bit rushed since it was crowded when I visited. Definitely coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I came to Don Cafe after hearing about their legendary Bánh Mì, and I wasn't let down. The freshness of the ingredients is something to behold! The pickled vegetables were tangy, and the crispy baguette was delightful. The only thing I found lacking was the service; they seemed a bit overwhelmed. Definitely will go back, but I’ll visit during off-peak hours. " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I come to Houston, I make it a point to stop by Don Cafe. Their Bánh Mì is unparalleled! Small and unassuming, it feels like a hidden gem. I tend to order the combination sandwich; the quality of meat is consistently high. Overall, great service, great food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Perfectly seasoned Bánh Mì that leaves you wanting more! I was impressed with how fresh everything tasted. The atmosphere can get a bit hectic during lunch, but that adds to the charm of a bustling eatery. A must-visit spot in Houston for authentic Vietnamese food. Just remember, bring cash! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every bite of my Bánh Mì was packed with flavor! The BBQ pork is exceptional, and the overall ambiance of Don Cafe feels quaint and cozy. I appreciate the diverse staff and their warm service. They truly care about what they do. Just a reminder that it’s a cash-only restaurant, but I find it very worth it. " (*Curated Review*)

" I came based on a friend's recommendation and was excited about the Bánh Mì. However, I was disappointed as the sandwiches just didn’t have the freshness I expected. The bread was a bit stale, which took away from the overall experience. Service was decent, but I left feeling dissatisfied. Maybe it was just an off day for them. " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to Don Cafe was a letdown. I ordered the special sandwich and asked for extra meat but received a thinner version of what I've had in the past. The staff was cordial, but the miscommunication made for a frustrating experience. I’ll likely go again, but if the next visit is lackluster, I may reconsider. " (*Curated Review*)
