GET DIRECTIONS →Bánh mì is the Vietnamese sandwich that came out of French colonial baking and went somewhere entirely its own. The bread is the tell: a light, thin-crusted baguette with a hollow, airy crumb, so the whole thing shatters when you bite it instead of squashing flat.
The filling follows a fixed logic — something rich, something pickled, something fresh, something sharp. Grilled meat or tofu brings the richness, pickled carrot and daikon cut it, cucumber and cilantro keep it fresh, and jalapeño provides the edge. It is a full meal that eats like a snack.

Questions People Ask
Banh Mi, answered
- What is banh mi made of?
- Ours is a Vietnamese sandwich stuffed with grilled meat or tofu and mayonnaise, topped with pickled carrots, daikons, cucumber, jalapeño, and cilantro.
- How much is a banh mi at Pho Viet Thai?
- $7.95 — the least expensive hot item on our menu. Prices come from the current restaurant menu and may change.
- Can I get a vegetarian banh mi?
- Tofu is one of the fillings you can choose instead of grilled meat. We have not verified every sauce and condiment that goes on the sandwich, and it is made with mayonnaise, so it is not vegan as served. If you need it strictly vegetarian, call (253) 267-1637 and ask what can be left off.
- Is banh mi spicy?
- There is jalapeño on it, which is the only heat in the build. Ask us to leave it off if you would rather not have it.
- What is the difference between banh mi and a regular sandwich?
- The bread and the balance. Bánh mì uses a light Vietnamese-style baguette with a thin crust and airy crumb rather than a dense deli roll, and the filling is built around contrast — rich protein against pickled vegetables, fresh herbs and chili — instead of layers of meat and cheese.
