Hello Banh Mi Kirkland

Super friendly and helpful. Bread was great. Love the side of pho. Definitely will be back when I'm in the area. Lemongrass beef my favorite so far. Bubble tea 5 stars.

Got the barbecue house special. Best Banh Mi I’ve ever had! I will be back for sure!

Hello Banh Mi, meet Mr Tasty! When you first pick up a footlong for your first bite, you almost want to say, "Well helll-loooo banh mi." This place is legit. I've had three different banh mi sandwiches now, so time for a review. All have been excellent. The bread is clearly fresh with a perfect crust. I have to tape measure next time because I'm pretty sure their footlong is more than 12-inches long. It's been so long since I've ordered a banh mi with shredded chicken I forgot that means it's shredded to a fine hair. Chicken tasted great just not a fan of that style. Again it Tasted great with a nice flavor. But my tried and true bbq pork belly was fantastic.
Lessons learned: any banh mi place serving the typical 6-8 inch isn't quite enough. Nice to have a footlong option. get footlong! I like veggies. Sandwich is really good with no extras but I like a thick sandwich. Get extra veggies, they could pickle them just a bit longer. I'm not sure what sauces come by default but be sure to ask for siracha and hoisin. If you are taking it to go but not home, make sure you get something to spread the sauces on the sandwich or you'll be bumming and have to use your finger (which really isn't that bad, simply dip, swipe, lick, clean). After all, you're using your hands to eat it right? :) I haven't felt a need for extra meat and veggies but if you do. That will make it two meals for a normal person, ASSUMING one person can refrain from eating it all in one seating. One visit I got it at lunch time but didn't eat it until dinner. Sandwich was still in great shape. Bread still crispy crust, not soggy in middle. Probably because most of the liquids you put on yourself when you're ready to eat it.
Service: place is run by some young, very well mannered kids. It's refreshing to see gen "young" treat people with an honest mutual respect. This place will get busier and busier I hope they don't explode.
Parking: non issue.
Granted I've never been to Vietnam, but I've been working in pioneer square for over 20 years. I've had my share of banh mi's walking to China town and on occasion to Vietnam town. I have a good base to compare.

Delicious food! Fast and friendly service! I ordered the lemongrass chicken sandwich, and the flavors and freshness were amazing. Also had the tropical smoothie & requested no sugar added. It was also delicious & definitely didn't need sugar. Really tasted more like sherbet than a smoothie. The menu says 100% fruit smoothie, but it has milk and sugar added unless you request otherwise. Just FYI. I am looking forward to returning. So glad they're in my neighborhood!

Great staffs and quick services! Best Banh-mi and Peach tea in town!
