👍👍 Update (11/7/2023): Finally got to come back as I had the day off from work and could make it up before they sold out. Banh Mi is still great, though I found that I very much did not enjoy the cold cut option. I’ve now had 3 (BBQ Pork), 1 (Roasted Pork), and 2 (Cold Cut) and would recommend them in... People often mention Banh, good, bahn,

    Delicious banh mi, as good as I’ve ever had. Fresh ingredients on perfect warm crunchy rolls. Takes a few minutes to prepare because they are lovingly hand made to order. Cash only.

    Top tier Banh Mi. The bread, the fillings, the fresh veggies, the sauce is all perfect. CRONCH!! The ambiance of the place is terrible, but the food is spectacular. Do a takeout!

    This is the best banh mi I have ever had. Simple establishment and cash only. If you like a banh mi this is the place.

    Update (11/7/2023): Finally got to come back as I had the day off from work and could make it up before they sold out. Banh Mi is still great, though I found that I very much did not enjoy the cold cut option. I’ve now had 3 (BBQ Pork), 1 (Roasted Pork), and 2 (Cold Cut) and would recommend them in that order. BBQ pork was amazing, roasted pork was great, and cold cut had me questioning if I wanted to finish it. Not bad or gross, just completely not my taste/preference. I fully plan on being back in the future to try number 4 (shredded pork) so I can figure out which one is truly my favorite and future go to. Original: Best bahn mi I’ve ever had, and the best sandwich I’ve had in a long time. Will absolutely be back. As a heads up, if there is a line inside it will likely take a while, but it’s worth it.

    Best bahn mi around, and a steal at $7! I'd may $10, without batting any eye. They're made with love, and you can taste it! You want a value meal, to BK around the corner. This is freshly made fare.

    Best Bánh mì in town and it’s under $7! My favorite is the hot grilled bbq pork sub but they also have vegetarian options. Also, the owners are so friendly and super sweet. This place is truly a gem and you have to try it at least once!

    This place may not be one to sit down and eat but if you’re looking for an authentic tasting banh mi sandwich then this absolutely the place to go. Sandwiches always taste fresh, are jam packed with flavor and the bread is perfect. Definitely the best banh mi’s in Syracuse and even received my picky Vietnamese mother’s stamp of approval!

    The best, most authentic Bahn Mi sandwich I've ever had, the bread is what makes this place shine the brightest. They use good ingredients

  • 4/5 Dara S. 3 years ago on Google
    Decent Banh Mi sandwich for CNY. Takes longer than usual, so if you're in a rush, I advise to call in advance. Ingredients are local but fresh.

    From out of town and decided to grab zome bahn mi. My wife loved the way they toast the bread and the softness of it. Great flavor and would definitely visit again.

  • 5/5 Tom A. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic, authentic bahn mi. I haven't had one this good on the east coast in years. Great and copious ingredients, well seasoned, decent baguette. Friendly staff. Will be back.

  • 5/5 David N. 1 year ago on Google
    I’ve eating here since I was little and the quality has never gone down. Never have I tasted a Banh Mi that was bad or disappointing from Ky Duyen. Absolutely the best Banh Mi I have ever had.

  • 5/5 Phil L. 11 months ago on Google
    High quality food, prepared to order by a mom n pop shop. The sandwiches are DELICIOUS! Highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Emma H. 2 years ago on Google
    Best sandwiches ever. Went to NYC for the weekend and searched for some there. None came close to being as good as this establishment! Support local!

  • 3/5 Robert C. 10 months ago on Google
    This is a good choice for lunch. The bahn mi are good and well priced. Not a criticism, but the menu is very limited so don't go here if you want anything other than a bahn mi.

  • 5/5 TheRisingMoon 11 months ago on Google
    Can't match the roll anywhere else in the Americas... I'm still drooling

  • 5/5 Tessa d. 9 months ago on Google
    Best Banh Mi! This is my go to place for great tasting Vietnamese sandwich. Have tried ones from different places but nothing compares to this. Owners are very friendly, too! They have limited quantities daily, don’t miss out!

  • 5/5 Le Phuong T. 2 years ago on Google
    The taste of Banh mi and coffee here is exactly the same to ones in Vietnam. I’ve lived far from my home country for many years and so happy to find a place to buy my favourite food… the owner is also helpful. I forgot Macbook and my bag here, but she still kept for me until I came back to take my stuff… so grateful and I will definitely come back…
