Amy's Bánh Mì

I first heard about Amy’s shop through a review somewhere on Facebook, although I don’t remember exactly where. I was quite impressed with the variety of food they offer: • I really love the cassava cake (bánh khoai mì) — it’s a childhood favorite from Vietnam for many of us. • The bánh mì here are quite large compared to other Vietnamese shops. The roasted pork bánh mì is pretty good and worth trying. However, in my personal opinion, pâté isn’t necessary in a roasted pork sandwich because it takes away from the distinctive flavor of the pork (just my personal preference after trying many different places). • The steamed buns (bánh bao): the dough is a bit thick, and the filling is slightly on the salty side — though I think it may suit the American palate. • The bánh cuốn is quite good, with a soft and thin wrapper that doesn’t feel heavy. The fish sauce served with it is also slightly salty. • The egg rolls (chả giò): the filling is a bit salty as well. I think adjusting the seasoning slightly would make it even better. Overall, everything is quite good. Of course, taste preferences vary from person to person — running a food business is never easy because everyone has different expectations. What I appreciate most about this shop is their customer service. I really like their attitude. I asked them to reheat my food and add extra chili and sauce, and they were very friendly and accommodating. I will continue to support this shop.

Amy’s Banh Mi is our new favorite restaurant in the area, and we can’t wait to return! Their baguette is made in-house—a rare and difficult skill that the staff has perfected. We love the combo banh mi, meatball banh mi, grilled pork banh mi, and Vietnamese hot coffee. The pork is grilled fresh to order, and the authentic flavors bring us right back to Vietnam. Prices are reasonable, and the staff is incredibly kind, even offering us a complimentary freshly baked baguette, which we truly appreciated. Please note the restaurant is takeout only, and bringing cash is recommended for the discount.

Got the roasted pork banh mi, with the sweet and spicy spread (you have to ask for it to be added) delicious. it already has jalapenos but if you love a spicy roasted pork sandwich with a crunchy and soft baguette, well-rounded with fresh cilantro and veggies, you got to try Amy's. It was so good, i ate it too quickly and it is a decently sized sandwhich. I am picky on meat textures and I was able to happily eat the entire sandwich. Also got the coffee creme jelly, and flan as a tasty dessert along with pineapple cake and Vietnamese coffee. If you have stuff to do, get Vietnamese coffee. I look forward to the next sandwich! Service was great as well! I hope more people try this place out.

Saw this on our drive one day and put it on the list! It was totally worth the drive on a Friday afternoon! The human running the counter was so kind to me and my 4 year old. The place was the perfect size for counter size take out spot, but still inviting when you have to sit and wait for food. I loved the fridge area and the other food items on the shelf’s that I’ll check out next time. My little one also got a special treat along with a complementary spring roll which she’s never wanted to try before, and she loved it. 😊 When we got home, we took a pic of the food in their wrapping and forgot to take another of them once open. So, apologies for all of the bites! The coffee was tasty according to my husband and the person at the counter (owner maybe?) was watching out for us in how he made it! My partner and I shared the beef one so we took a pic to good measure! Again, super cool humans. Let’s give this spot lots of business!!! Delicious Bahn mi’s 10 minutes from us! Check it out!

We stopped by here after our trip and my eyes are bigger than my stomach as I spent over $70 😅 The food was legit and on point. The portion was alot and the staffs were welcoming. It is hard to find a good/authentic banh mi places in the Hampton area so this is definitely the spot to go to. If we don’t live 45-50 minutes away from Chesapeake I would probably go here every 2 or 3 weeks lol.
