I am eating at Banh's Cuisine right now and highly recommend it. The best Vietnamese/ Chinese food in the area. It is a hole in the wall so don't expect bells and whistles but the staff, service, and the food are all excellent! I eat here often and highly recommend the specials. And because I'm a fan of vegetarian food, which is very hard to find in the area, I especially think they do this well. This is a staple and I always go here for authentic Vietnamese/ Chinese food.

This is the best Chinese food in Durham. Friendly service and clean food. Which is very hard to find in Durham. The sesame chicken is awesome.

Great service and delicious, reasonably priced food. They have a small core menu with a rotation of specials, so there's a good variety. I had the Mien Ga, and it was delicious. Banh's is a rare combination of good food, local ownership, and low prices, and it feels good to support this business.

Without Banh's, well... Durham would feel empty. I love this establishment and its owners and staff so much that if anything happens to any part of Banh's in my lifetime, I will be devastated. I love the specials on Saturday and Wednesday and on other days I go with either kung pao or ginger chicken with steamed rice. You go for the food and the attention to detail the staff demonstrate. My family has been going to Banh's regularly since we moved here in 1993. When I was a small child, they let me spend an afternoon learning from them how to make spring rolls and I never forgot this experience.

They have the best Chinese/ Vietnamese food I've ever eaten.! Once you eat this food you really do not want any other especially on Vegetarian days of Wednesday & Saturdays!

In addition to the Wed/Sat menu I highly recommend their ginger tofu and sesame chicken. Delicious!!

Atmosphere: Banh's Cuisine is a hole-in-the-wall restaurant on 9th Street with an intimate and local vibe. Definitely a slept-on spot in Durham. Service: Ordering and receiving food is easy, and everything comes out quick and fresh! Food: We've tried several of their Saturday Specials -- the Hu Tieu (#1, pork, shrimp, celery, ground peanut in rice noodle soup), Bun Thang (#2, rice noodle soup with shredded chicken, egg, pork), and Roast Pork Steamed Bun (#4) -- as well as the Sesame Chicken. The soups were warm, filling, and light! We especially liked the Bun Thang, which was more savory and had tender bits of chicken. The Sesame Chicken was also a filling meal for a great price. Overall: Banh's Cuisine is such a wholesome, feel-good spot. With reasonable prices and delicious food, this is easily a standout not only on 9th Street, but in the Triangle area as a whole!

I haven't added my review of their banh mi! It's perfect. Unfortunately, it's only served on Saturdays and usually sells out around lunch- go it in the morning and snag one! It's vegetarian, and filled to the brim with tofu and eggplant. Their bread is perfect. It's also topped with shredded carrot and sprigs of cilantro. Everyone needs to experience this ASAP. There's nothing quite like walking to Banh's at 11 am and sitting down with a glorious banh mi.
