" The food was decent but did not meet my expectations for authenticity. Having traveled to Vietnam, I was hoping for something closer to the real deal. The grilled chicken banh mi lacked the depth of flavor I remember, and the service was inconsistent—some staff were friendly, while others seemed distracted. The atmosphere was cozy, though, and the tea selection was good. I'd say it's a solid place for a casual meal, but I might look elsewhere for a more authentic experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a fantastic little find in downtown Athens! The ambiance is vibrant, and the decor celebrates Vietnamese culture, which is a delight. I indulged in their vegan pho and a side of spring rolls. Both dishes were fresh and packed full of flavor. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful with menu suggestions. My only issue was the wait time, which was longer than expected, but the delicious food made it worthwhile. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a taste of Vietnam! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing so many good things, I finally tried the vegan options at Paris Banh Mi, and I was not disappointed! I had the tofu banh mi, which was bursting with flavor, and the veggie pho that hit all the right spots on a chilly day. The staff is attentive and friendly, even during peak hours. The only downside was the limited seating—it can get busy. Nonetheless, I left with a satisfied stomach and plans to return soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" As a former resident in Vietnam, I have high standards when it comes to banh mi, and Paris Banh Mi did not disappoint! I had the shrimp banh mi, which was loaded with fresh herbs and the shrimp were cooked just right. The bread was not quite as crusty as in Vietnam, but it was still good. The service here was very attentive, which made for a pleasant dining experience. Next visit, I'll definitely be trying their pho, which I've heard great things about. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a great experience here! Everything we ordered was fresh and flavorful. The boba was a standout! All the textures and flavors were spot on, and it made for a great afternoon treat. The service was quick and friendly, which added to the positive experience. I'm planning to come back soon and try the banh mi that I've heard so much about! " (*Curated Review*)

" The restaurant served an amazing dish of pho—probably the best I have had in a while. The broth was on point! Service was a bit slow when I visited, but I was okay with it since the food was worth the wait. I'd recommend checking this place out if you are looking for good Vietnamese food in Athens. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food was delicious from the appetizers to the main courses! I loved the vegan options available, especially the tofu banh mi which was spectacular. The cafe had a vibrant atmosphere and the staff was extremely accommodating and friendly. That said, the order took a while to prepare, but if you’re not in a rush, it’s worth the wait!
