Thanh Đa

The banh mi was exceptional. The bread was appropriately toasted, and each sandwich was prepared to order. I recommend calling ahead, as the wait time is approximately 10 minutes. Would visit again!

I've been coming here for a few years and they have yet to disappoint, knock on wood!! They are like my second family at this point. Their Vietnamese coffee is to die for and I absolutely love their recipe for the Bun Bo Hue. The quality has NOT changed at all and I am grateful and also thankful they do not skimp out on the quality of their dishes. I really do hope and pray this place stays open for a long time.

Had the number one sandwich. Vietnamese sandwich was delicious. The bread was crunchy and had cilantro cucumber carrot. I'm not sure if it was cabbage slices and two slices of meat. And pork bits that were tasty. Make sure to order it not spicy. I ate it at the park and made a lot of crumbs for the birds to eat with the crunchy bread.

Thanh Đa is a popular hole-in-the-wall Vietnamese spot for banh mi near 8 Av, Brooklyn. I read many negative reviews about the terrible attitude of the owner, skimpy toppings and how their prices have risen significantly. God knows how nervous I was when I walked into the shop lol. Fortunately I didn’t have such poor experience when I went. I was very satisfied with what I got, and the owner and staff weren’t rude at all. Just keep in mind they no longer open dine-in area. #1 House Special Banh Mi 清娜麵包 For the house special banh mi, they put together roasted pork, ham, cold cut, pickled carrots and radish and cucumber. The fillings weren’t overflowing, but it was sufficient and stuffed till the bottom of the bread roll. The baguette was toasted to a crusty finish on the outside, and a soft dough on the inside. You can ask for jalapeno for extra spice (they forgot to add it to my banh mi tho). $8 for a banh mi is still reasonable to me in this economy, as I can split it into two meals. Banh mi is made to order. It took around 10 mins even I was the only customer in store. ＊Ca Phe Thanh Ða (Thanh Ða Coffee) 清娜咖啡
This Vietnamese coffee was so pleasant. Dark roasted and rich in caffeine as you can taste from the robust and bold flavor. I asked for less sugar and less ice, and it had the perfect level of sweetness. $5 for the iced coffee is slightly steep but I’ll still get this again.

Banh Mi (house special) is a bit salty and lacks any other flavors. It is good to see they use jalapeno for spice rather than hot sauce. Also, their ice coffee does not have enough condensed milk to give it its sweetness. $8 + $4.75 is a bit on the pricey side.
