Small cash only banh mi shop that offers other vietnamese snacks and appetizers. Cold cut sandwich (#1) was authentic, had a nice balance of veggies + meat and vietnamese coffee was also noteworthy. For the food price and quality, it was worth the visit and deserves a comparison to Thanh Da next time im in the neighborhood.

Went here specifically to try the avocado shake and omg it was so good, creamy and not too sweet. It was reasonably priced at $6, just be aware that this place is cash only. I’d drive back to this area just for the sake! And the staff was really friendly! Would love to come back and try more.

Edit: came back for the food. Excellent banh mi #1. The bread is perfect, not too crispy or soft. Less crumbs and messy than other places. I would get very spicy next time. The #1 has 3 kinds of meats pate, ham, and BBQ pork. You can taste every ingredient. Not a fan of the fried spring rolls or the shrimp crepe. Very good Viet coffee. Lots of locals come here. Will be back for hot chocolate. The summer rolls is only $6 for 3.

No frills Vietnamese sandwich and light take-out spot, but don’t let that stop you from trying it out. This place is truly a gem. I go 45 mins out of my way for the Bánh bèo here and am happy to do so. Really feels like a place you’d find in Westminster or sgv

Another cheap eat rec in 8 Avenue, Brooklyn. Ba Xuyên is a neighborhood favorite for affordable and homey vietnamese food. The shop is operated by some vietnamese aunties, serving a variety of banh mi, authentic street snacks and fruit shakes. I’ve already been there at least three times whenever I’m craving for banh mi or feeling broke. ＊Banh Mi Pate Thit Nguoi (Combination #1) Banh mi is priced up to $8 in good portion size and hearty fillings. Every banh mi has a base of cucumber, cilantro, pickled carrots and green pepper. My go-to banh mi order is the bestselling combination #1. It has ham, pork, pork teriyaki & BBQ with paté and butter. It is so filling that I can get two meals out of it. ＊Jackfruit Shake I can’t leave this place without getting their milkshake. They blend actual fruits into the shakes, giving it a natural and sweet flavor. They have tropical fruit flavors like lychee, taro, papaya and durian. I heard good things about their avocado shake, but I always stick to my favorite jackfruit shake.

Delicious food, fast service and friendly staff. This is my third time since finding them last week. Can’t recommend them enough and great value for money. I’ve had the number one, the tuna bahn mi, the escargot and fried noodles. The ice lemon pickle drink and Vietnamese coffee are great too. The lemon drink is sour and salty though so just beware it’s not for everyone. Everything has been so delicious.

Just my favorite sandwich shop around, every time I'm stopping there it's great, never disappoints, and amazing prices. It was my little secret, check it before the Instagram people will ruined it

Service was fast and there wasn’t a lot of people when I went so there was a lot of space. I order the grilled pork banh mi for 8 dollars which is very reasonable considering the size and flavors. The bread (assuming baguette) is nice and crispy exterior with a chewy interior. But it starts to cut the side of your mouth and makes it dry. The fillings flavors were very harmonized and well balanced but to have all of them together you gotta take a big bite because the meat is all the way inside while cilantro is in the outer layer. The flavors are very rich and have that sweet and sour taste in the sauce for the meat. Meat is also tender and is given in a fair amount. The vegetables are very fresh and the pepper gives it that extra spice which brings everything together. I believe the vegetables like cucumber may be pickled because the overall flavors are complex and deep. Closing statement: Bringing your own drink can help quench the dryness that the bread will give you.

I always love supporting the local shops This particular restaurant used to have two different locations they used to have a location right on 7th avenue 61st between 60th Street I've been supporting them for 20 years. Compare to how they make the sandwiches back then to now they skimp on so many things being partial Vietnamese, I can accept the fact that New York City banh mi uses Italians heroes rather than a baguette. myself You have put a sufficient around a meat they put like a thin slice of each oh I taste now is vegetable and bread they don't even take out the inside of the bread anymore like they used to. They stop giving the barbecue meat nem nuog A long time ago now they are skimping on the meat portions, I'm upset I can no longer come here and enjoy the sandwich like I used to. That old lady boss walks away when I tell them I know how your sandwich is used to taste compared to how it tastes now.
