A location of Paris Banh Mi, a Vietnamese food chain rapidly spreading across the country, has brought its banh mi sandwiches to Charlotte.

You can expect banh mi flavors such as grilled pork and pate, along with a vegetarian version and other twists. Along with the traditional French baguette, you can also get the sandwiches on a croissant or brioche burger bun.

French patisserie items such as tarts, cheesecakes and tiramisu, croissants and other pastries are also on the menu. Boba drinks and other specialty teas and slushes can complement your meal.

The Charlotte location is owned by Ricky Nie.

Paris Banh Mi Cafe Bakery was founded by Hien Tran, who grew up in Paris, and France and Doan Nguyen, who owned a chain of bakeries in Vietnam. The first store opened in Orlando, Florida, and has spread coast to coast.

In all, 45 locations of Paris Banh Mi are now open, and 9 other restaurants are listed as “coming soon.” One of those restaurants on the way is a location in Raleigh.
