MY BANH MI

The sign, the street, inside

You meet the sign before anything else, then step through the glass to the table — a sit-down room on Nguyễn Du for the classic Saigon sandwich.

The sign

Tall thin spaced caps over a glass front on Nguyễn Du — the venue's own facade voice. You read the name from the street, then step through the glass.

The street

Tables and baskets pass by in a row, like walking past the shopfront — the room opens sideways, not in a grid.

Inside

White plaster walls with framed old-Saigon photographs, a plant-lined wall, warm pendant light — a room made for staying through lunch, not eating on foot. The sandwich arrives in a woven basket.
