Always supportive of more Vietnamese businesses in the Tacoma/Lakewood area! They serve banh mi, pho and Vietnamese coffee, pressed sugarcane juice and che (Vietnamese desserts/pudding) here. Looks like they also make their own banh mi baguettes here too. I ordered their cold cuts special and a Vietnamese coffee. A few notes: bread could be toastier, it was a bit chewy. The cold cuts look to be made in house as well, was okay. Would have liked more pate and that Vietnamese mayo. They give you a baggie of veggiesnand let you dress it yourself... I would have preferred they did that part for me since I was dining in. Now I understand why they gave you a pair of plastic gloves too. First I've seen at a banh mi place but this makes sense for to-go orders. The Vietnamese coffee was also just okay, needs more condensed milk for me. Environment inside was cute. I can see game nights or casual dates here. If they offered usual prepared foods and pastries at Vietnamese delis, I can see this being a place I'd stop in to grab a quick snack/lunch too. They just opened so I'm sure they will work out the kinks and only get better.

I don't know how many times I've been here. The salted coffee and banh mi here are honestly the best I’ve ever had. The salted coffee is rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced. The banh mi is crispy on the outside with very flavorful fillings. The sugarcane juice is also incredibly fresh—honestly even fresher than some of the ones I’ve had in Vietnam. Everything tastes amazing. I will definitely come back again!

This banh mi is MASSIVE. I got the baba special and it is packed and taste amazing. The atmosphere is definitely a vibe and they people were so nice. I would recommend to ask them to put the veggies in the sandwich for you if you get it to go otherwise it comes in a bag and you can dress your sandwich however you like but im definitely coming back
