Such a unique, fun, cheerful place! The service, although it can be a bit slow, is super friendly and accommodating. Interesting menu items not found at other comparable Vietnamese places. Excellent ambience, although a bit small, so you may have to wait for a table during busier times. Try the house special French chicken Banh Mi or the Beef Stew (served with baguette)! Grilled onions are a nice touch. Oh, and the slaw that comes on the side is the best! I also like that they have a kids' menu.
I can't get over how good my meal us, and I am mediately recommended it to all of my friends. I even turned right back around and brought a friend to have the same meal that I had and she agreed, amazing food.
Pho is one of my favorite dishes, and I decided to go for the server's recommendation, which included wonderfully charred and saucy spare ribs. The atmosphere of this Vietnamese restaurant is draped in artwork reminiscent of street vendors, and there's a sheer character in that belief which is demonstrated in table side heaters and the use of coffee cans for utensils. The service is prompt, kind, and efficient. They had non-stop take-out orders and managed to serve a party for two accordingly. The pho brisket was delicious, ranking as one of the best broths I've ever had. Spare ribs with an egg roll, rice, and salad proved to be an excellent summertime meal. I can't wait to return to Bahn Town for another affordable and savory experience.
I was craving banh mi and decided to try Banh Town. I had the pork special banh mi with a fried egg. It was excellent! All of the meats were unctuous and tasty. A bit of pickled carrots and daikon radish with cilantro cut through the rich meats. There was some special mayo-based sauce at the bottom that I wish had been spread around a bit more on the roll. The fried egg was the kicker; it made the sandwich that much more rich. The roll was tender and flaky in all the right ways. The young woman who was running the front of the house was kind and gracious. I was curious to see how many folks ordered take-out. I was the only one to eat there.
Oh man, with all the good Vietnamese restaurants around the unique dishes really make this place worth going to. The lemongrass curry beef and noodle and chaus dirty rice was sooooooo good. The quail poppers were jam packed. Will definitely come back to try the corned beef banh mi.
They're finally open for dining! Clean and kind service.
Ingredients were fresh and visually appealing and in general just solid Vietnamese in the area.
Parking lot is hit or miss, super tiny and not easy street parking in the area.
We're lucky to have a lot of excellent Vietnamese in the area and this place is right up there.
Ordered the vermicelli bowl and Vietnamese coffee. Both arrived within 5 minutes of me sitting down (including the time I took to read the menu). Fast service and delicious food! Banh Town seems like a great place for a quick lunch, a group meal, or takeout. I would certainly return to try some more yummy looking dishes from their menu!

Banh Town is a pretty good Vietnamese restaurant. It’s located in a little strip mall with limited parking. I was lucky to find one spot open when I stopped by on a Sunday around 3pm. The restaurant has a somewhat contemporary aesthetic with the menus, the metal chairs, and logo. The people working there are friendly, but they unfortunately were bringing our dishes to another table that had shown up after us. While we couldn’t tell at first, the other table looked a little confused when they received the food. Finally when my dish came out and was delivered to the wrong table, one of the other table said it was the wrong item and then I was given the item. It was frustrating that my partner did not get her meal until a later because they had to cook up a new batch which threw off the timing of our meal. When it comes to the food it was pretty good. The egg rolls tasted standard but good – I’m not sure but it seemed like there was some taro in it? For the entrees, my partner had the beef stew which was sweet and fragrant of spices. I chose the Works plate. The pork was good and the meatloaf was good as well. Overall it was a pretty good meal and if I return I would try the banh mi.
Stopped by for a grilled pork pork bánh mi and was NOT disappointed. The meat was tender, spicy, savory, mouth-wateringly good. Veggies and pickles were fresh and crisp, and perfectly portioned. The pate and other condiments were the "wow" factor, and the bread was just right - soft but not limp, firm but not stale. I said "DAMN!" several times while eating it (in the car, couldn't wait to get home.) Sandwich was ready less than 10 minutes after I ordered it and the server was super friendly. Will be back soon!
The food tastes amazing here, the veggie pho is always my go to. Only down side is that the place is not very clean/hygienic. Took a peak inside the kitchen and it was horrifying. The water also tasted funky and the tables were sticky. Nonetheless, great tasting food though.
Got the pork banh mi and beef stew, the food was so good and comforting. Everything was fresh and came out fast. Service from Vi was very good, she was so sweet and checked on us frequently
Amazing Vietnamese restaurant! Located at the triangle between Greenwood Ave and Holman Road, the parking is limited. It is a clean and decent young restaurant server authentic Vietnamese food. I ordered the vermicelli bowl and the quail egg poppers. The vermicelli was a big portion of rice noodle and two egg rolls. The quail egg poppers are pretty amazing, first time see this dumping style food have egg in it.
