Got a bánh mì chả lụa (they call it a district 3 ? lol) and it was good! Normal and what you expect from a banh mi shop. What’s interesting about this place is their very lavish colorful names based off of areas of Saigon and other places in Vietnam for what would otherwise be pretty normal banh mis so it was a bit funny as a Vietnamese person but yeah. I also got the coffee which was quite good. Prices though… I mean it is Berkeley what can I say.

I have a chicken banhmi(no. 2) added avocado and the chicken is sweet and tender !especially the bread is so soft..I like it but I am not sure that is the “baguette “or not(I think usually banhmi is made with the baguette.) I want to try other menus next time. 😄

From traditional Banh Mi to a California (bacon & avocado!), this great little shop on Telegraph is full of delicious food, great people watching, and friendly staff. Today I tried the Vietnamese coffee and noticed the subtext on the menu, Sweet and strong, just like the Vietnamese lady who brews it!

The tofu pagoda and basil seed drink are my go to order. The owner is kind. I do wish there was a bathroom or water station for guests.

Very rude and nasty attitude from one of their workers here. I see now from other reviews it might be the owner who’s just rude and nasty.I had paid for extra meat on their bacon banh mi and saw them only placing one and I asked and they gave me a rude reply that there was already extra. Mind you I experienced this a previous time and asked, didn’t curse, wasn’t rude, I said this happened last time too there wasn’t extra meat and the person snapped at me and called me cheap.Only one single piece of bacon was there when I came back home and checked. They are rude and stingy with their portions, doesn’t even taste like authentic Vietnamese food.Come here if you are desperate for rude and entitled service, lackluster flavor and miserable portions (even after adding $$ extra).

I absolutely love this place. The sandwiches are hefty and always leave me full. They have a variety of different sandwiches and the owners are very kind. They always greet me and you can tell they take so much pride in their business. Check them out and get a tasty sandwich. You cant go wrong.Pictured: The California (Fixings w/ 2 eggs and consists of Bacon and Avocado.)

Ask for extra jalapeno, they give me two little slices. On the whole sandwich. Is that some kind of casual racism thing or what am I supposed to think about that? Two little baby slices of jalapeno when I ask for extra? Tall Hispanic guy. Thats not very nice

Great sandwich. Nice staff. Clean facility. Parking is a bit of a challenge when UCB (four blocks north) is in session.

I ordered a grilled pork sandwich. It was fine. The vegetables were a little too sweet for me and I wish there had been more meat on the sandwich. I know to order double meat if i order again.

I cannot recommend this little gem of a sandwich shop highly enough! This is the real deal! I love that they have a vegan option! the sandwiches are huge, with fresh, beautiful fillings artfully arranged and piled high! The Vietnamese coffee is strong and delicious! And the basil seed water. ..wow! Id never even heard of it, but Id go back for that alone!

My first time trying Banh Mi (the grilled chicken), and I was not disappointed. I ordered online and the restaurant was fast with the order. The bread was crisp with a good bread to filling ratio. Overall, no complaints, will be coming again!

The pagoda tofu Bahn Mi was delicious! The bread was soft and just the right amount of crunchy. The tofu itself was well seasoned the pickled veggies were refreshing. The basil seed drink was a little sweeter than I would like but quite nice.

Ban mis were delicious! We got one grilled chicken with extra pickles and one lemongrass beef. The size is great for the price. The drinks were also great-vietnamese coffee and lychee iced tea. Would definitely recommend!!!

Compared to many other Banh mi places I’ve been to the taste is really just ok. Plus the portion is kinda small

Nom Nom is the best value option for food on Southside. The Bahn Mi’s are priced so affordably, are always so fresh, and make a phenomenal lunch. They have fantastic vegetarian and vegan options too!

Review №19

In brief, Nom Nom makes a thoroughly average banh mi. Though the bread is nicely fresh, the veggies are too sour and do not speak to the naturally fresh flavor found in cheaper Vietnamese sandwich shops throughout the Bay Area. I was initially excited by the copies of Nom Nom’s history and mission statement spread throughout the restaurant, but found the food did not match these lofty goals.Do NOT get the Vietnamese coffee. Though I normally love the robust flavor of Vietnamese coffee, the cup that I received was both small and incredibly sour.

No thank you or anything, unfriendly demeanors especially coming from the owners who runs the shop. Banh mi is average and not worth a return visit.

Review №21

The drinks are super small, $3 for this very small lemonade - not worth it. Otherwise the service and food is good

Extremely overpriced. The restaurant week menu is such a rip off. How do you justify paying $60 for 4 sandwiches and some drinks? Its actually cheaper to order the items individually! Calling it a $60 feast for 4 people is a joke. The sandwiches are literally mostly bread, all the authentic Vietnamese places in Oakland would dig out the white bread part to fill it with more meat and filling (and they only cost $4-$5 too!!).If youre going to charge Berkeley prices, at least make sure its Berkeley quality.

What a treat. Walked in on a whim, got the Pagoda tofu banh mi. It was made perfectly, bread tasted super fresh, tofu was so good. Wish it was closer to where I lived, but would definitely come back.

I would rate the classic combo sandwich a 2.5. The sandwich barely has any Pork loaf and they stuffed it with all pickled veggies. It was pretty much eating bread and vegetables with their paté.

Go here if you want a Banh Mi. Just do it. If youre tired of tryhard Banh Mis in the Bay Area that are way too expensive and feature a lot of trendy ingredients that have no place in a sandwich, come here.

Yooo, this place SLAPS. I got #3 which is your all beloved banh mi dac biet and I am tasting all of the traditional flavours. The ingredients are hella fresh and I am definitely bringing my friends next time.

It’s nice to have a Vietnamese option near campus, and although the ingredients were all of great quality, the amount of meat and flavor aren’t really justified by the price.

Best banh mi i have found in Berkeley. Bread is unbeatable. Everything tastes fresh. Really happy we have this place finally

Review №31

Pretty bland and dry. Bread had no crunch, very cardboardy foamy subwayish. And bland paste on inside. Feels like gentrified banh mi chain corporate vibes.

I find these sandwiches expensive. I usually pay about $5 but here they are $7 and up. This service was just adequate. The sandwiches were packed thinly and the result was mediocre. Not going there again
