Yummy Banh Mi on Hewitt Is the Vietnamese Street Food Fix Everett’s Been Sleeping On

There’s a version of this review that spends three paragraphs explaining what a banh mi is. We’re not going to do that. If you’ve been Everett-based and haven’t developed a banh mi habit yet, that’s the real story — and Yummy Banh Mi on Hewitt is the place to fix it.

First: The Colby Location Is Closed

For the record: there was a second location called “Yummy Bahn Mi 2” at 2803 Colby Ave. That location has closed. The only active Everett restaurant is at 1606 Hewitt Ave. Don’t drive to Colby looking for it.

The Hewitt Ave location has been running consistently, and the review page has a solid community of regulars who’ve made it part of their weekly rotation. It doesn’t need a flashy concept or a line out the door to tell you it’s working.

What to Order

The banh mi is the anchor. These are Vietnamese sandwiches on crispy French baguettes — a product of colonial culinary history that the Vietnamese took and made definitively their own — with pickled daikon and carrots, fresh cilantro, sliced jalapeños, and your choice of protein. At around $12, you’re getting a complete, satisfying meal that actually holds you.

The yakisoba dishes are on the menu at a higher price point for those who want something heartier. The bubble tea and milk tea menu is the other anchor: Vietnamese iced coffee and taro milk tea are both worth trying. The Vietnamese iced coffee milk tea version specifically bridges the strong-sweet-condensed-milk tradition of Vietnamese cà phê sữa đá with the boba format in a way that makes sense for both cultures it’s drawing from.

For a bubble tea plus banh mi lunch, you’re looking at a bill that makes the whole Hewitt Ave experience feel unusually affordable — especially relative to The Independent Beer Bar pints or Colby Club cocktails a few blocks away.

Where This Fits on the Hewitt Corridor

We’ve written extensively about the Hewitt Avenue food and drink corridor. R Harn Thai at 2011 Hewitt opened earlier in 2026 and is already building a following for its khao soi and kra prau. Katana Sushi at 2818 Hewitt is the block’s Japanese anchor. The Loft Coffee Bar, Luca Italian, The New Mexicans, STRGZR — the Hewitt strip has more culinary range per block than most Puget Sound corridors outside Seattle.

Yummy Banh Mi has been here longer than most of them. The Vietnamese sandwich shop with bubble tea at lunch prices is a category anchor on this street — it serves a different need than a Thai dinner spot or a craft beer bar, and it fills it well. Credit where it’s due.

Compared to Other Everett Vietnamese Options

Everett has strong Vietnamese representation. Quán Ông Sáu on Pacific Ave is the standout for Southern Vietnamese home cooking — full sit-down, pho, cơm tấm. Pho To Liem on Casino Road is the neighborhood pho institution. Yummy Banh Mi is doing something different: the sandwich format is faster, cheaper, and more grab-and-go. It’s the weekday lunch format and the entry point for people who aren’t ready to sit down for a full bowl. All three belong in your rotation for different occasions.
