“ This place is the bomb. Fast, friendly service and a nice family environment. Fresh baked bread and an assortment of delectables. Bahn Mi so tasty it will make you dance. Looking forward to many trips back for these gems. ”
“ This is by far my favourite boba place in any state. I've tried quite a lot of boba in search of somewhere better, currently impossible to find. Service is typically fast even with a line; I'm a regular customer always able to get my boba fix with no issue. Chicken Bahn Mi is my go to if I'm hungry but the Chowder is good as well and the bread is always perfection. CONSISTENTLY playing good music, I appreciate the staff who work here and who previously worked here. Thank you for serving the community! ”
“ Better Bahn Mi than I've ever had in Seattle, Washington, USA! I'd give it 4.5/5 stars. The classic milk tea boba (4/5 stars) wasn't as good as what I get at Asian chains that we have in Seattle, but I'd order it again next time I was here. The ube cream puff (4/5 stars) was also good, although too sweet for me to finish my half of it after having the boba. I'd come back again, especially for Bahn mi! ”
“ Drove past after driving because we needed something sweet . I saw the cream puff and thought let's try something new. Usually i don't do the cream filled, I'm just not a fan. But Oh am I happy I went outside my box. It was oh so creamy and delicious. Support local and go try some of the other items they offer. ”
“ Came late in the day to enjoy some pastries. My monkey bread muffin was slightly dry but had good flavor. I got a mango cruffin for my husband which had a cream filling, this was very good! ”
“ Food A+ Tasty! Service A+ Greeted from when we walked in Ambiance B- could use some music and comfortable seats. ”
“ Benji's Banh Mi sandwiches doesn't disappoint! Been a while since I had the Saigon Classic and they are still consistently great sandwiches. Also, the fresh baked pastries and donuts are large and flavorful. 5 Stars: for Service. Arrived about 11:15 for lunch, right before the "rush". The server was pleasant, friendly and professional. She made a suggestion for their Boba Tea and my sister loved it. 3.5 Stars: Ambiance Seating was more bar table style and may accommodate about 30 people in the eating area. Light and refreshing w fruits and lychee pearls for added flavor and pops 5 Food: Ordered the Saigon Classic: baguette bun was about 10" in length, flakey and airy. The meats were plentiful, and the fresh and pickles veggies were a wonderful addition. A true classic Banh Mi sandwich. You won't go hungry after this sandwich. 5 Stars on Price: Only $9!!!! Also, don't forget a Boba, Smoothie or Coffee. And get a wonderful pastry too. ”
