Simply Banh Mi - Washington, D.C.

When I picked up my food, the woman who gave it to me asked me, "Are you Veggie?" I said, "I knew it"!

The people who work here are friendly and the menu is very vegan friendly. all icy and boba are vegan and the tofu banh mi is simply incredible. one of my favorite spots in georgetown!

Look at this family-run restaurant when they live here or when they visit the city. the vegan pho is great, and so is the vegan sandwich. john, the owner, is very friendly.

We LOVE Simply Banh Mi, as many others clearly do, too it 's always packed when we walk over for lunch on the weekends. The family behind the restaurant are such nice people, and they really do grasp what vegan means and cater to veg*n diners. The banh mi (just ask for a vegan banh mi they understand and won 't add the customary aioli once they even had a vegan mayo based version that was so good) and vegan pho are our usual picks, but we also sometimes get the bun (vermicelli bowl again, ask for vegan, which comes with peanut rather than fish sauce; the one time they brought us fish sauce by accident, they immediately realized the mistake, fixed it and were super apologetic). The tofu they use in all these dishes is soooo good. We always get their boba smoothies which come in a huge variety and are all vegan friendly!! So glad we found this awesome, super vegan friendly restaurant thanks Happy Cow and thanks Simply Banh Mi!

So you know if you live Vietnamese food and love in DC, you probably end up across the river in VA. Well, that gets tiring when you're hungry! Look no further! Head to Georgetown for this small local business run by folks who mark the veg items in their online menu clearly and are willing to deliver to you 2 miles away! With the prices they have, it's a steal when you think about their location and then the portion size! I love that they have vegan boba- the owner checked all the mixes, and they are vegan with non-dairy creamer. Also, yes the black tapioca for those who don't know about boba pearls, they are vegan. Just ask for any boba with soy milk! Yes!! Heaven! The food is super fresh and made to order. They are wicked accommodating, so don't be shy about making sure it's vegan, because the veg items (banh mi, vermicelli, rolls, salad) are all vegan, and you will know it too when you order, see, eat and fade into bliss this side of the District line. I like that they have te old school fake chicken/ duck before it was hip- as in the type in Asian and Buddhist establishments. Soy based fake meat, slightly salty, but goes well with the food here. They also add in deep fried tofu, slices and chunks. Yum. Sauces can be soy or peanut based- just ask. The veggies are fresh, and I loved the flavor of fresh basil in the veggie spring rolls. If you want noodles, they have vermicelli now. If there is enough demand, the owner mentioned willingness to make vegan pho!!!! Yes, please! They also cater, and they are playing with Vietnamese fusion cuisine like tacos! Oh yes, for the gluten free crew! These folks are genuinely nice, and I can't wait for more vegan boba. So good- it doesn't taste super artificial! Go, and say: vegan, please?! Yum!
