Yummi Banh Mi

One of my favorite food trucks in Charlotte! I always get the Rice bowl with BBQ pork, sometimes with an egg sometimes without. The BBQ pork has a gear flavor and you get a good portion of rice. I want to try the sandwiches and tacos but right now I’m stuck on the rice bowl !!

As a Vegetarian, it’s rare that I find a veggie banh mi. I highly recommend the Pan-​Fried Tofu Bahn Mi or Rice Bowl. Both options are very flavorful to the last bite!

Amazing … Fresh, tasty, and packed with flavor and spice. The jalapeños are very hot (I enjoyed it). I got the bbq pork sandwich with a fried egg! Definitely would get it again. The fried egg really brings it together. Yummy. The ingredients tasted fresh and the sandwich is a big size. Definitely filled me up!

I visited this truck at the Southpark Eats Alternative Wednesday food truck fest (off Fairview at Piedmont Row Dr. South — tons of nearby parking!).
Lemongrass beef Banh Mi was DELICIOUS — great flavor in beef and sauce — a little kick but not too spicy. Baguette was outside crisp and inside chewy — as it should be. Mine was sans pickled daikon (allergic) and jalapeños (don’t like) but had plenty of cucumber and cilantro.
My coworker got the lemongrass chicken bowl with a bonus cracked egg & it looked wonderful. She said it was tasty and not spicy.
Note: we got to trucks relatively early yet I got the last order of lemongrass beef.
Definitely give Yummi Banh Mi a try.

Not the best banh mi. Parking is ridiculous. Went out of my way to try these guys but was disappointed. I will gladly pay a lot of money for a good sandwich but this didn’t cut it. It’s a different take on the banh mi sandwich but I think the original version tastes way better.

Of course the word to sum this place up is yummy! I have had this food truck twice now and it does NOT disappoint. Boyfriend and I have tried the Lemongrass Pork & Lemongrass Chicken Bahn Mi’s and they were both so fresh and delicious.
Check this food truck out if you can.

OMG Savory!
Simple menu, reasonably priced, quick food & very healthy! I have only had the rice bowl, but wow is it tasty — could use more veggies, but overall YUM!

Best food truck in Charlotte! Their flavors are so well balanced — sweet and spicy, soft and crunchy… We love the bahn mis and rarely order anything else. We’ve tried the rice bowls and tacos, both good but do yourself a favor and just get the sandwich! The BBQ Pork is probably our fave but I’m also a big fan of the lemongrass tofu. In case great food wasn’t enough, the guys running the truck are top notch, too! Some of the friendliest in the business.

Confession: I’m pretty much obsessed with these guys and their truck. How could you not be? Solid food and a truck with a giant Asian Pac Man on it? Sign me up all day.
My first Yummi Banh Mi experience was during a NoDa FAM event and the line was a mile long. Okay, maybe it wasn’t a mile. I have poor depth perception. But, it was long and a long wait for food. This was back when they were first starting. Add to that: everyone wanted to try out the cool looking new truck. I remember being annoyed and thinking this better be worth it. I went with one of the rice bowls. It didn’t look like a lot of food until you started eating, but tt was so filling and delicious. I was hooked.
So what should you order? I don’t think you can go wrong with any of it. I’ve had the rice bowls, tacos, and the banh mi sandwiches. The BBQ pork and the lemongrass options are all delicious. There is also tofu, if you’re into that kind of thing. It’s hard for me to order now because I really do like them all. Don’t be afraid to ask questions. Everyone who works on the truck is super nice.
How to find them? Follow them on the social medias. They post their schedule each week. Congrats to Scott on all his success so far. The Observer just did a great story on him and the truck a couple weeks ago. Nice to see good people doing well.

This isn’t your typical banh mi but it’s tasty and a good sized sandwich. I had the bbq pork banh mi sandwich as recommended by the guy taking orders. He was VERY friendly and helpful. We chatted a bit about banh mi and the menu items. I follow them on instagram, where they post their location and get to see these drool worthy pictures of food! I love checking out food trucks and this is one of the memorable trucks in Charlotte.

If you haven’t tried a banh mi sandwich before you should hunt this food truck down and cross it off your foodie bucket list. We were lucky to catch up with them at the food truck rally in Matthews.
My husband got the lemongrass beef sandwich and the Asian in me was compelled to get BBQ pork Vietnamese rice bowl… delicious! I highly suggest ordering the egg on top of the sandwich (got this little nugget of info from one of the Unilocal reviews). The meal came with a ramekin of sauce. We weren’t sure what it was or even what meal it was supposed to go with so we didn’t ask questions and dumped it over the rice bowl. It complemented the dish well without over powering it.
This place is worth following to its next destination. We’ll definitely be back.

Amazing! I can’t say enough good things about this truck the food and service is amazing! I love the food truck scene and this is my favorite truck in Charlotte I usually try and hit them up on Tuesdays uptown when they are parked next to the element but I do follow this truck around. I have loved this truck since day one and I think I have had just about everything on their menu and it’s all amazing!

They were at sugar creek brewery.
Got the bbq pork banh mi which was really good. Could have used some more veggies and pâté.
The guy taking the order could have been more friendly…
But food was really good and they brought it to me when I was sitting inside so I didn’t have to wait outside for it.

Right now this is one of my top 3 food trucks in Charlotte. I’ve tried these guys a few times so far. I keep running into them at Bulldog Beer & Wine. I really like the bbq pork Banh Mi sandwich. Great flavors and I love the crispy veggies. If I had any complaints it would be that they don’t offer sides. I can live with that!

So, I’m no Banh Mi expert, but I’m in love with this food truck. We were at Sycamore Brewing Sunday afternoon, Yummi Banh Mi was parked outside. This was exactly what I wanted on a Sunday afternoon, and a nice compliment to my beer. The wait was short (yay) and the food was prepared timely (double yay).
I ordered the bbq pork banh mi sandwich (8 dollars), and it was well worth it! The bread was amazing, it tasted fresh and was nice and crusty on the outside. All the toppings that come with it (jalepenos, pickled carrots, cilantro) were fresh and tasty! Oh and how could I forget the pork? It was sooo delicious. When you hear of «bbq pork» (at least in the south), you usually think of pulled pork. Well at least I do… This is NOT that. It’s more like grilled pork pieces (like the pork I’ve gotten at Vietnamese restaurants). SO SO GOOD.
Please park outside of my house and make me sandwiches. I seriously could eat this sandwich everyday.
I haven’t tried anything else on the menu, but everything looked good from what I’ve seen!

This food truck is becoming one of my favorites in Charlotte. I usually hit it up when it parks at the Element Uptown (next to Romeare Bearden Park — next to the 7-​Eleven) on Tuesdays for lunch. So great to have great food and to have a nice park to consume it in.
You pretty much can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. I’ve had a little bit of everything and I have not been disappointed. Their flavors pack a punch… and some heat (if you don’t mind the fresh peppers sliced into your sandwich, tacos, or rice bowl). My favorite is the BBQ Pork…
The guys working the truck are super friendly and just sling out good food. Luckily my lunch break is later than most folks so I hit them up around 1pm and there isn’t a line, but usually they have some war stories of the line stretching out really long, but I think with this new Tuesday stop, people are starting to figure out their schedules and staggering their visits.
A number of beverages are available in a cooler: sodas and even asian drinks (which I have yet to try) maybe next time. Will always be looking out for the tan truck with a giant pac-​man logo wearing an asian style conical hat.

Tried this version of bahn mi on food truck Friday. I’ve had le’s bahn mi, which
Is super, so expectations are high. I ordered the regular sandwich and I must say, it was very good. As good as Mr. Le? I don’t think so. Plus, they charged almost triple what Le’s does. Don’t get me wrong, the food was very good, but not up to snuff.

When your name’s Yummi, you gotta bring it… and they do. Full disclosure: I’ve only ever had Peculiar Rabbit’s banh mi, which I LOVED, and then they took it off the menu. So, I tried Earl’s Grocery’s version. That’s all I’ll say about that.
Enter Yummi Banh Mi Truck! The fella and I went to Sugar Creek Brewery on a Wednesday evening, pretty much solely to stalk the truck. I got the BBQ pork banh mi ($ 8), crossed my fingers and waited for them to bring it into the brewery. It was divine!!! Finally, delicious banh mi! The fella got the lemongrass tacos ($ 8). I wish I could tell you what he said about them, but I was too busy inhaling mine to care.
That said, the only reason I didn’t go full 5 stars was because the fella’s taco portions were tiny. I was glad I got the sandwich because I’d still be starving if I got the tacos, and considering they were the same price, you’d think they’d be about the same size. Also, I’d love some side options with the sammich.

Yes! Yummi Banh Mi truck is awesome and a welcomed addition to the charlotte food truck scene. I recommend trying the lemongrass pork on either a sandwich or rice bowl. The marinade they use has such a great flavor, especially compared to the other crisp, fresh toppings.
A huge plus for me is how genuinely friendly and enthusiastic the staff is. If you’ve never had vietnamese food, they are excited to tell you about their products. They chat with you and get you know you while you wait. It’s overall a great food truck experience.
I usually check to see if the truck is nearby when I’m getting snackish. Check it out!

Hey Wow! A Vietnamese Food Truck! I saw this truck parked outside of the new Sycamore Brewery recently and being the food truck fan I am, I had to try them.
Basically you choose your protein — chicken, beef, tofu and a few other options and select your vessel — of either a roll (Banh Mi), Taco, or Bowl. Being health conscious (except for the beer), I went with a tofu bowl. It came with cucumbers, carrots, daikon, rice and what I assume was fish sauce.
For a food truck, it was decent food. It was better when I added Sirracha sauce. It really needed the heat. Still not bad for a first experience with this truck. And definitely a nice addition to the local food truck scene.
