Banh
3409 Main Hwy, Coconut Grove, FL
Crema's Take
“Tucked inside Books & Books in Coconut Grove, Banh is a Vietnamese banh mi and boba shop that does a few things exceptionally well—their streamlined menu of just four sandwich options means each one is crafted with real care, from the lemongrass chicken to the short rib "French dip" style. The intimate pairing with the bookstore creates a uniquely satisfying experience where you can order your perfectly executed banh mi or matcha tea, then browse while you wait, all while feeling the genuine hospitality of owner Aiden who clearly takes pride in every detail. It's become an instant must-go in the Grove for anyone seeking authentic Vietnamese flavors with that rare combination of quality ingredients, quick service, and soul.”

When I first looked at the menu, I knew it would be good. There was only four sandwiches available which means that’s what they do and they do it really well. I had the Don’t cluck with me it was super yummy. By the end of next week, I’ll have tried the other three I can’t wait.
Stellar! They know what they are doing here. We visited twice and tried the OG, lemongrass chicken, and the short rib. Everything was great. What makes this place is the owner Aiden. We came in right at closing and he was incredibly kind. He reopened and insisted we order. It’s…
