Banh Mi Boys - Metairie

Love the Uptown location!!! It's great to be able to sit inside on these chillier days! Also don't let a little line scare you away...they are ridiculously efficient with a small staff. I found it moved very quickly. I cannot get enough of the bang bang shrimp or the pork belly. Those sandwiches are where it's at. The debris and oyster fries are lagniappe. I also enjoyed their Korean wings even though they were much sweeter than I expected. Overall, worth the trip. Bang bang shrimp. You're welcome.

Finally made it to Banh Mi Boys in Metairie and it didn’t disappoint. The braised pork belly sandwich was really good and met my expectations. Tried a few Bang Bang shrimp and those are definitely getting ordered on the next visit. Service was quick and pleasant. Enjoyed the outdoor seating. Heaters were perfect on a chilly day.

A+ banh mi sandwich construction, textures (fresh, crackly crust bread, veg, and meat), and bold flavors that play well together. I had the brisket banh mi, but they have fresh versions of the classics, too. Consider calling ahead. When I arrived, they were inundated with large orders and were honest about the long wait time. These people aren’t fooling around and care a lot about their sandwiches. It was such a delight to enjoy one on my way home after visiting NOLA. If I lived close by, I’d be a regular for sure. I’m also proud to see this coming from my generation of Vietnamese Americans. It’s great to see them taking the classic flavors from our elders’ generation and doing right by it while bringing forward fresh takes.

With a plethora of restaurants and po-boy shops in the New Orleans metro area , there is always debate about who's is the best. Well, I thought I had been to all of the best until today. Banh Mi Boys deserves a place among the titans. Their po-boys may not fit directly into the mold of traditional NOLA faire but they are certainly legit! Had the Bang Bang Shrimp and Grilled Pork po-boy today and I cant wait to come back and try the others. Flavors are simultaneously exotic and yet comfortably local; service is top notch, friendly and extremely fast! And dont let the location fool you...despite being attached to a Texaco it is extremely clean and comfortable. File next to: expanding your horizons and knowing your city on a deeper level. Get out of the quarters and head out to Metairie! Get a po-boy at Banh Mi Boys!

We had this DoorDashed and it was still really good. The sandwiches were a little salty for my taste, but the fries were pretty incredible.
