" A wonderful experience! I decided to try Simply Banh Mi after seeing glowing reviews online. I wasn't disappointed! I tried two different types of banh mi—the traditional pork and the lemongrass tofu—and both were delicious. They had the perfect crispy baguette and the fillings were fresh without being overly greasy. The service was outstanding; I felt genuinely welcomed. I also grabbed their Vietnamese iced coffee to go, which was a great complement. Would recommend to any Vietnamese food lovers! " (*Curated Review*)

" Simply Banh Mi has stolen my heart! I have been going there regularly for the past six months. Their banh mi sandwiches are packed with flavor, and they offer a fantastic vegan option as well, which I appreciate. The service is always pleasant, and the owner often remembers my order, which makes me feel valued. The only reason I don't give it a full five stars is the limited seating space when I occasionally eat there, but I have no complaints about the food quality or the prices. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" I stopped by Simply Banh Mi after hearing so many good things. Let me just say, they deserve every bit of praise! The service was quick, and the staff was sweet. I got their lemongrass chicken banh mi and it was toasted to perfection, with just the right amount of sauce that didn’t make the bread soggy. I also grabbed a side of vegetarian spring rolls, which were crispy and refreshing. Overall fantastic food; I wish they had more seating, but I understand that they focus primarily on takeout. I highly recommend this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had been hearing good things about Simply Banh Mi, and after my meal, I absolutely understand why! The beef pho was rich and satisfying, cooked to perfection. The staff were friendly to help with any questions I had about the menu. Wished I lived closer, as I'd be visiting weekly! The establishment is ideal for takeout. If you're in search of authentic Vietnamese food in DC, look no further than Simply Banh Mi. " (*Curated Review*)

" This hidden gem in DC is truly a standout! My family and I were visiting from out of town and were thrilled to find Simply Banh Mi through a recommendation. Everything we ordered, from the pho to the spring rolls, was incredibly delicious. The spring rolls were crispy and fresh, and the pho was comforting and hot. My only critique would be that the space is pretty small if you're dining in, but since they focus on takeout, it's an easy fix. Don't miss this place if you love good Vietnamese food!

" My experience at Simply Banh Mi was bittersweet. The sushi was superb, but the wait was a bit long, which I think could be improved. Also, I found the atmosphere a bit lacking especially since I couldn't sit and enjoy my meal there. I think it would be perfect if they had dine-in options because the food quality is exceptional! I loved the lemongrass beef which was flavorful, even if I had to take it home. Certainly planning to return for another try! " (*Curated Review*)

" Simply Banh Mi has definitely earned a spot in my heart! I had the lemongrass beef pho and it was absolutely divine—rich flavor, perfectly cooked noodles, and just the right balance of herbs. However, the only downside was that it was quite busy when I went, leading to a longer wait time. Still, that just shows how popular this place is! The atmosphere felt informal and inviting, perfect for a quick lunch, though seating could be limiting. Great experience overall! " (*Curated Review*)
