Really loved this bánh mì place! The bread was perfectly crispy but still easy to bite into, which is a big deal for me when it comes to bánh mì. I ordered the pork combo pan, but I honestly wish I had gone for the sandwich version instead. Their salt coffee was amazing—the best I had on this trip! 🤩 Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area. 💗

Arrived before 9am on several occasions and manage to get a dine-in table for two within 5-10minutes. We enjoyed their banh mi so much that we visited them three times on our one-week holiday. Recommend their 1, 2, 3 banh mi & if you’re feeling adventurous, try their pate. Their pate is creamy, buttery texture. I don’t even enjoy pork belly but their pork belly banh mi had a good mix of vegetables and pork belly that made the entire dish delicious. Tip: Request to cut your banh mi into half for easier eating Bonus: watermelon juice is fresh
The bread at this place is crispy and light. We chose numbers 1, 2, and 3, and they were all flavorful and delicious. The portions are just the right size for one person, but if you’re not very hungry, I recommend sharing. I would suggest ordering multiple items so everyone can share and try different flavors. The most expensive item we ordered was only $2. Seating is limited since it’s a small shop. If you plan to order takeout, place your order at the front of the store, then walk across to pick it up. The shop is divided into two sections: one for dining in and the other for pickup. Just remember to place your order at the front counter, not at the pickup area. I didn’t check which credit cards they accept, but they do take cash. I also didn’t check whether there is a restroom since I ordered takeout. Because our hotel was very close by, we walked back to our room and enjoyed our food in the comfort of an air-conditioned room.
It's good but seems just a popular place with lot of crowd and queues. Their serving staff is very humble and kind. Person taking order is very much to the point, don't blame her as its a huge queue she needs to tackle quickly and she did it efficiently. I've had their vegeterian bun cha, its good. Their vegetarian banh mi is ok too. But I've had better in other less crowded places like the vegetarian banh mi just nearby at Huang Viet.
Bánh Mì 25 - The Essential Hanoi Stop! This is, hands down, the best Bánh Mì I've ever had. Do not miss it! CRITICAL NOTE: This is an ALL-CASH ONLY spot, so be sure to have local currency ready before you line up! It's absolutely worth the effort. I ordered the classic, and the sandwich was incredible. The bun was perfectly crispy and so fulfilling—it made the entire experience. The taste was amazing; everything tasted fresh and perfectly balanced. The atmosphere is great (I'd give it a solid 4 stars), and the staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, even when they are busy. A heads-up: Be ready to grab your food and go, as it is hard to find seating! The place is popular for a reason! Truly an authentic and must-try experience in Hanoi.
