This is a small restaurant, but it is large on the foodie experience. The service is superb, our server was friendly, attentive, and helpful. Speaking with him is like speaking to a friend. The food was fantastic, my two grandsons and I each had a different meal. We all agreed that our sandwiches were if not the best, they are tied for best. The chef knows her craft, and truly love preparing meals for her guests. My grandson said that based on the friendly service, he would give The Circle 5 stars.

The owner was lovely! Fruit smoothies are all fresh and real (no powder!) and the banh mi’s were just as great!

I was looking for my bahn mi fix and this hit the spot. We got a tofu bahn mi and the vegan lemongrass beef banh mi. Yes, the fish sauce is also vegan. Super stoked to have such good sandwiches nearby!

Amazing Banh Mi’s! This place is hidden inside a little plaza and parking is a big pain, but finding that spot is worth it. They speak Vietnamese and english inside and make delicious banh mi’s. My girlfriend and I got a Dac Biet and Thit Nuong and loved them both. The thit nuong was unlike any other i’ve had, more than likely a family recipe, but it had amazing hints of lemongrass and the bread was crispy and delicious. The dac biet was the same way, absolutely amazing flavor and you can tell it’s made fresh to order. I definitely recommend this place to anyone and would return in a heartbeat next time i’m in Orlando.

This place proves that looks can be deceiving. Walked in uncertain of what we were getting ourselves into but walked away with the best Bahn Mi sandwiches we've ever had. The steam bun was also delicious. If you're in the mood for something different, go here! The staff was super friendly and everything was very fairly priced.

Got the number 1 house special with pate, cold cuts, pickled veges, cilantro, jalapeno toasted for 4 (not toasted is 3.50). Not the typical combination banh mi that I'm used to from CA or TX. It's got a sort of chili oil on it that makes this sandwich unique. Older couple that works here is adorable. Yes there was a language barrier but it's workable. I would make a stop here next time I'm in the Orlando area.
