" I recently picked up a few banh mi sandwiches from Banh Mi So 1 and I must say I was a bit underwhelmed. While the flavor was decent, the sandwiches seemed a bit skimpy on the fillings which left me wanting more. The bread was freshly baked, but it didn’t quite make up for the portion size. The service was quick, and the staff were really friendly, but I do wish they’d be a bit more generous with the fillings. I might return but perhaps only for a quick grab. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Banh Mi So 1 on a whim when I was in the area, and I am so glad I did! The sandwiches are incredibly authentic and packed with flavor. The meats were juicy and the veggies were fresh and crisp. I appreciate the option to get my veggies on the side since I usually prefer them fresh and added right before eating. The service was friendly and efficient, making the whole experience enjoyable. I’ll definitely make this a regular stop when I’m craving good Vietnamese sandwiches. " (*Curated Review*)

" Banh Mi So 1 is my go-to whenever I’m craving an authentic Vietnamese sandwich. I always opt for the mixed options so I can try different meats, and I’m always pleased with the generous servings. The vegetables and sauce perfectly complement the meats. I usually take it to go since they don't have much seating space, but it’s nice to enjoy it in the park nearby. Keep an eye on their hours; they sometimes close earlier than listed. But overall, you won’t be disappointed with your meal here! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Banh Mi So 1 is always a treat. As a lover of Vietnamese cuisine, I can confidently say their banh mi is authentic and rivals what I've experienced in Vietnam. The bread is baked fresh and the pate is to die for! On my last visit, I ordered the #2 with grilled chicken and it was flavorful and juicy. I also appreciate how you can ask for a packet of veggies on the side, which allows you to customize your sandwich further. Be prepared for a little wait as they do get busy during lunch hours, but it is always worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really excited to try Banh Mi So 1 after hearing so many great things, but I have to say I was a bit let down. The sandwich I ordered was a bit skimpy on the fillings and the bread was not as fresh as I expected. Perhaps it was just an off day? The service was friendly, but it took a little longer than I would have liked. I might give it another try, though, since I've heard great reviews from others. " (*Curated Review*)

" Banh Mi So 1 is by far one of the best places for banh mi in the area! The vibrant flavors, crispy veggies, and freshly made baguettes keep bringing me back. I particularly love their #2 with grilled pork; it’s so flavorful. The staff is quick and polite, but be prepared for a packed line during lunchtime. A must-try if you’re in the vicinity! " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first experience with Vietnamese food, and I couldn’t have asked for a better introduction! The sandwiches were truly delicious, filled with juicy meats and crispy veggies. The flavors were vibrant and kept me coming back for more. However, I did find the place a little cramped for dining in, but given the fantastic takeout options, it’s a win! I’m definitely sold on coming here again. " (*Curated Review*)
