" I tried Banh Mi Viet for the first time after hearing rave reviews, and it lived up to the hype! The bread was fresh and crispy, and the meat was flavorful. However, I felt that the pickled veggies could have had a bit more zing to them, and the service was a little slow during peak lunchtime. Still, I would return for the taste alone. It's rare to find such authentic quality in the city. " (*Curated Review*)

" My work buddy introduced me to Banh Mi Viet, and I'm so glad! The banh mi has this perfect blend of flavors that transports me back to my travels in Vietnam. I had a mixture of meats with crunchy veggies and spicy jalapeños – truly a delight! It's take-out only, which can be a bit of a downer, but it's understandable for this drill-sized deli. Definitely will be back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Regular customer here! I absolutely love their banh mi sandwiches. They are flavorful, with a good mix of meat and vegetables. Each time I've been here, the quality remains consistent, which is impressive. The place may not have seating, but takeout is easy and quick. Their shrimp spring rolls are another favorite! Can't recommend this place enough. " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious food, but the service was a bit off during my visit. I enjoyed their classic combo banh mi, which was very tasty! The bread was soft, and the pickled veggies were crunchy. The only downside was the staff seemed overwhelmed during peak lunch hours. I would return, especially for the food! The prices are reasonable, making it a great option for a quick meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" Banh Mi Viet has some of the best banh mi I’ve ever had! I love how fresh everything tastes! The veggie banh mi was amazing, with just the right amount of crunch and flavor. It's great that they offer a mix of meat and vegetarian options. The only thing I would suggest is perhaps considering some seating for dine-in customers. Nevertheless, it's worth the visit anytime. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place was recommended to me, and it did not disappoint! The banh mi was absolutely delicious, with crunchy vegetables and savory meats. I loved that the ingredients tasted fresh. While waiting for my order, I noticed the staff is friendly and accommodating. However, my only complaint is the limited seating. It is primarily a take-out spot, which can be inconvenient at times. Still, the taste makes it worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't rave enough about this place! The banh mi is phenomenal—especially the shrimp banh mi, which was packed with flavor. I truly felt like I was back in Vietnam eating these fresh sandwiches. Service was efficient too, although the place can be busy. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and check it out. I intend to keep it on my lunch rotation. " (*Curated Review*)
