Be’s Noodles and Banh Mi

Nice to have a phở’ place in Gastonia. The prices are a little higher than Charlotte but the shorter drove makes us the difference. The menu is the basic Viet staples. My only critique is I prefer more flavor. I use a lot of flavor (herbs and spices) when I cook and ESP love flavor in my Asian food.

Food is absolutely wonderful! I got the #10 and the Fresh Spring Rolls appetizer to go. The food is so great and has a lot of flavor. The pork is amazing. I am super excited to come back to try the Phở and Bahn Mi! About time Gastonia had something new, fresh, and tasty! Plus, I don’t have to drive 30 minutes for a bowl of Phở anymore. Thank god.

I ate there once, I had the soup, the soup was $ 10.00. The interior was spotless clean but plain vanilla as far as seating and the room. The soup was good, I don’t know if they make their own broth which is everything in these soups. But I enjoyed it, it was a very large bowl and filling.

It is so very nice to have some variety in Gastonia. We LOVE the Banh Mi and the Phở at this place. The spring rolls are also a favorite. We stop there often to pick up dinner. I hope we will support this new establishment.

we had it to go, so that being said. the phở was good because we love it piping hot. we boiled the broth and the meat because it was dripping with blood. the sandwiches were ok and a little over priced.

All I got to say is, I WILL NEVER BE BACK. Walked in and the guy literally just looked at us. Didn’t stand up or anything! So I had to walk up to him and ask him do we just order at the register or do we have a seat. Then he proceeds to tell me, «just order up here.!» Like wth kind of customer service is that?! But I decided that since we’re already here, might as well give it a try. So after we ordered, he told me the amount I had to pay. While I was getting into my purse he repeated 5 – 6 times the amount I was suppose to pay. Like, give me a minute! This isn’t a life of death situation! I was having such a great day spending time with my sisters until I came here. This place needs better customer service!

A noodle and banh mi restaurant located in a former Quiznos at the intersection of Cox Road and Franklin Blvd. And I call it a «noodle and banh mi restaurant» because that’s pretty much all they have: aside from two appetizers (egg rolls and spring rolls), the menu is pretty much just four types of banh mi, three types of phở and four types of vermicelli.
I got the «original» banh mi: steamed pork, ham and pork pâté with mayo, pickled carrots & daikon, cucumber, onion, cilantro and jalapenos. The bread was pretty good, and most of the flavors were there, except for a sickly sweet note, as if they used Miracle Whip instead of regular mayo, or added sugar to the carrot brine or something. It wasn’t enough to «ruin» the experience, but I did not care for the sweet taste; it was a wee bit overpowering and unwelcome.
Everyone knows that Le’s banh mi are the gold standard in Charlotte. Based on a sample size of one, I can say that Be’s are about 80−85% as good as Le’s. But they’re also twice as expensive: Be’s charges $ 8 for a sandwich I could have gotten for $ 4.25 at Le’s. The trade-​off is that Be’s is much closer to home, and I’m often in the area for one reason or another, compared to Le’s, which is always a special trip.
So… in summary: I didn’t have strong feelings about Be’s one way or the other, The sandwich was good, but not great. I think it’s a bit spendy compared to Le’s, but it’s much closer to me, and I’m often in the area running errands. Perhaps I’ll go back soon.

Super super fantastic ! Today we got Phở And Bun combo, fresh spring roll. Everything is so fresh. Omg! We’re so full, can’t move. Service are great. Love it. Will comeback soon !!
P/​s: don’t know why so many negative comments here, look like fake. but if you lookup on Facebook– Gaston Eats. it’s definitely so different.

If you are looking for an alternative to driving into Charlotte for good, authentic Vietnamese food, I have bad news for you. Keep driving.
We had egg rolls, banh mi, and vermicelli. Egg rolls were passable. Banh mi was $ 8.00, way overpriced, and was made out of a commercially baked bun. The nice steamy quality was not there, and the taste was off — pâté overpowered the other ingredients. My wife’s vermicelli had odd cuts of beef, a lackluster sauce, and so-​so noodles, but the real killer was getting thawed frozen shrimp in it. We did not finish the food.
Prices are 150−200% normal for the fare. Small number of menu items. Place is clean but extremely plain. Location by Walgreen’s at Franklin & Cox Road is a pain to exit.

After waiting for a couple of months for Be’s Noodles and Banh Mi to finally open, we finally went today for lunch. I really wanted to love this place so that I wouldn’t have to drive to Charlotte for fantastic vietnamese food. It looks like I’ll still be driving to Vietnam Grille on 5615 South Blvd in Charlotte for fantastic vietnames food.
I ordered the vermicelli bowl combo and was disappointed in the three pieces of frozen cooked shrimp that was in my bowl. The vegetables didn’t seem to be fresh and the vermicelli was watery. My husband ordered the banh mi combo and said it was just okay. He said the banh mi that we orded at the Asian market in Charlotte, Super G Mart was much better and only $ 3.50. Normally, you are served boston lettuce leaves with your spring rolls but not here.
We may have better luck with the phở if we ever try Be’s Noodles and Banh Mi again. I wish them well with their business.

Good overall experience, customer service is great, prices are a little steep for basically a takeout joint, if you care about that type of thing, but portion sizes are good, with good flavor, would swing through again if I was in the area…

The chicken banh mi was great. It has the sauce. Better than Mr. Le’s in Charlotte! If you are willing to pay for great banh mi, this place will not let you down. It’s more expensive but it is bigger and longer.
The phở is good too. Great broth. The only down part is that it’s a bit small for 10 bucks. Great food but a bit on the pricy side. I guess it’s better than driving all the way to Charlotte.

Good place, I like everything I’ve had from there. Sometimes takes a little while, but it’s really nice to have a place in town that’s different. Egg rolls are great. I like all the sandwiches (haven’t tried the tofu) and my girlfriend likes the Phở (a noodle soup that cooks the meat in the broth). Hope this place does well.

I was excited about having Vietnamese food here in Gastonia. The service was good and the food was good, which earned this review three stars. a fair amount of stars. how ever.the food is way too over
prized. I ordered a vermicelli bowl combo which was $ 11. The bowl was too small and the amount of food given was also a small portion for the amount paid. I only had maybe 3 pieces of shrimp and two pieces of
pork and small amount of noodles. Everything else was just shredded lettuce and two egg rolls. I make vietnamese phở at home and a pack of vermicelli noodles averages about $ 1-​$ 2 and can serve up to 4 – 6 people. The other ingredients is not that expensive either. I wont be going back because they are charging Charlotte prices. This is Gastonia, the market is different. Please lower your prices or you will
for sure lose customers. If your prices are lowered, more people will come and customers will return. I will
return and I will bring my friends.

An interesting little hole in the wall restaurant in Gastonia. Spring rolls are delicious and on the large size. My 5 year old certainly enjoyed it. Banh Mi is fresh and yummy. Worth the visit.

Terrible service. Yesterday my sister bought 12 Banh Mi sandwiches for $ 40 but then when I came today I ordered 11 sandwiches which totaled to be $ 76 even with the discount. Very disappointed and told them I did nof want my order anymore because it was kind of a rip off that my sister got 12 sandwiches and 2 free drinks for $ 40. Never would recommend this place to anyone because you can go somewhere else and receive cheaper sandwiches and cheaper phở.

drove by every day for two months to see if they were open yet. I was so excited to finally get bahn mi in gastonia after moving here from atlanta. When I finally saw they were open I rushed in as soon as I could to try it. Then I saw $ 8 for a bahn mi and said WTF and walked out. A bahn mi is $ 3.50 to $ 4.25 everywhere Ive ever been to. Looks like they have the staple bahn mi, phở and Bun plates. Also vietnamese coffee was $ 4 which is a little high but where else are you gonna find it. They just opened and its a total no frills kind of place. Not somewhere to take a date which is why I dont know why they are so expensive. I really wanted this to be my new fave spot but doubt I will go back because $ 8 bahn mi is crazy balls

Brand new Vietnamese restaurant in Gastonia. Located in the old Quiznos space behind Walgreens. Nothing fancy as far as décor. The people that run the place are very friendly and helpful. The menu focuses on three main dishes– Bahn Mi, Phở and Bun. The prices are reasonable but reminiscent of Charlotte prices (and may be a turn off to some, especially in the Gastonia market). The lemongrass grilled pork Bahn mi, at $ 7, was awesome — great smoky flavor to the pork. The Phở came in second. I had mine with thin sliced sirloin. It’s served with the usual goodies (sprouts and basil) to mix in. The chili sauce here is great and goes well on the sandwich or stirred into the soup.
It’s a little tricky getting in and out of traffic to get here, but definitely worth it.

My son and I stopped at Be’s and were very pleased with the experience. I ordered the number 7 combo and my son had the number 9. The phở was very flavorful and all ingredients were fresh. The portion sizes are huge and well worth the price. Very nice staff we recommend a visit and we will be back as well.

Second timeback this week. The menu is small, and so is the shop. Not a bad thing, as they seem to be concentrating on what they do best. It is a very nice, very clean shop too. Free Wfi and the phở is top notch! The portions are very generous and the owners and staff are very friendly. I have been eating phở for years and this place ranks at the top of my list. You owe it to your self to try it!
#2 Fresh Spring Rolls — 5 stars!
#7 Combination Phở — 5 stars!
#3 Original Bahn Mi — 5 stars!
My wife and daughter had the #8 and #9 and give it 5 stars as well!

Very excited to have a place in Gastonia to get Phở and Banh Mi. My husband checked everyday to see if it was open and was very excited when it finally was. We have been here twice since it opened on Friday and will now be our go to place for phở. It was very flavorful and fresh. My daughter said she could eat here every day. The staff was very friendly and the place was very clean.
The price for a bowl of phở is $ 9-​$ 10 and they give you a large bowl with plenty of noodles. The fresh spring rolls are delicious and the peanut sauce is just right. We haven’t tried the banh mi yet but am looking forward to trying it.
Well worth the visit. :-)
