Home Vietnamese Sandwiches, located at 349 Fifth Avenue, Brooklyn, NY, is a relatively new addition to the Park Slope dining scene, having opened in 2010. It occupies the space formerly held by Earth Tonez and has been serving customers for over a decade. The establishment is known for its banh mi sandwiches, which include options like roast pork, tofu, and other traditional Vietnamese flavors, complemented by generous quantities of pickled vegetables and a spicy kick from jalapenos and Sriracha.

Home offers a variety of banh mi sandwiches, including roast pork and tofu options, which are noted for their fresh ingredients and vibrant flavors. Additionally, the restaurant serves bubble tea and other Vietnamese beverages, making it a versatile option for both food and drink.

Comparison to Other Establishments

While Home makes sandwiches in the mold of other local banh mi shops like Hanco’s and Henry’s, it does not quite match their quality. A visit on a chilly winter night revealed that the tofu sandwich, though cheaper, had too much mayonnaise, not enough spice, and limp-looking cilantro. If you’re down on 5th Avenue and need a Vietnamese sandwich, it’ll do, but sticking with the places on 7th Avenue might be a better choice.

Our Verdict

Home Vietnamese Sandwiches offers traditional Vietnamese flavors in Park Slope, but its quality does not match that of other local banh mi shops like Hanco’s and Henry’s. It is a decent option if you’re in the area, but not the best choice. The generous quantity of pickled vegetables and spicy kick from jalapenos and Sriracha are notable highlights, but the overall execution falls short.
