Had a great BBQ pork banh mi for $6. Great sandwich with light and crispy bread. Flavor components felt complete. Pork was a little too chewy and fatty for me, so next time I will get the BBQ chicken banh mi.
Now THIS is what a Banh Mi sandwich is supposed to taste like!!! You have gained a new customer for life. Ten out of ten…definitely recommend!!!
Tried #25 bun suong tom noodle soup. It’s good. Usually we just buy the grilled pork sandwiches which are super good. Price is still better than other places but the Vietnamese sandwiches are the best here!
Alief staple period! Been coming here since I was a kid and they still standing! The crunch on the French baguette nom nom. You can still watch them make your sandwich at the window after ordering and paying first. Beware Cash Only. $6 for my BBQ Pork Banh mi
One of the oldest standing banh mi shops in Houston and is cash only. Got 3 bbq pork , 3 combination and 1 meat ball for 41 bucks. Ask for the veggies on the side if you’re not eating it on the spot or you’ll get your Sammie’s soggy.
Don Café is a Houston staple that I’ve been coming to for years. The bánh mì is always on point—crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and packed with flavor. Their wonton noodle soup is comforting and delicious every time. And don’t miss the Vietnamese coffee—it packs a powerful punch and gives you that perfect energy boost. Whether you're grabbing a quick lunch or craving something familiar, this spot always delivers.
One of my favorite bahn mi sandwiches, the bread is light and crisp and the char-grilled pork is my go to sandwich and I think one of the best in the city. I have been a customer for over 20 years and enjoy it every time I visit.
****AWFUL EXPERIENCE! ****Do NOT expect any kind of customer service here from the staff. We arrived at 5:50pm and ordered 4 sandwiches. They told us that they were only serving “to-go,” which seemed strange considering their hours posted on the door said they were open till 7pm. When we saw the restaurant was full and people kept sitting down, we also decided to quickly eat our sandwiches at the table before heading out. Promptly, the manager, Julio, came to our table to asked us to leave. He said that he and his staff wanted to leave early and that only people entering the restaurant before 6pm could stay. In complete shock and disbelief of what was happening, we tried to reason and argue that we came in before 6pm and that their hours were clearly posted as open till 7pm on the door as well as online. Julio, literally stood at the table arguing and then silently staring at us as we tried to eat, making my kids and I super uncomfortable. He the. threatening to call the police for us not leaving and my children cried from the embarrassment and overall experience. Julio, Your poor lack of choices today lost a great customer and hopefully your owners see this and take action before other customers turn their back on this establishment, like we will for life. You can’t treat people like this long before the public realizes that there are simply many other options nearby with kind staff that value their customers and their business. If you hate your job this much, maybe it’s time for a life change, rather than treating people with such disrespect. Our best wishes to you, we will never speak of this place to anybody again.
