Quoc Bao Bakery

This place has closed down.

I love me some Banh Mi! This is by far the best banh mi in Carrollton. The chicken banh mi is my fave! The bread is perfectly soft! Great price too!
They have awesome muffins as well! Just perfect, moist and not to sugary!
If you’ve never had banh mi, you should definitely try. At about $ 3-​$ 4 each it’s worth the try and it’s filling and tastey!

I used to buy Vietnamese sandwiches from their competitor which is located in the same shopping center but ever since I tried their grilled chicken and meatball combo or (ga‘ nuo’ng & xi’u ma. i ban’h mi‘) I haven’t been back to the other place. The meat is moist & full of flavor (thanks to the fish sauce) and the bread is fresh. I think they bake their own baguette since it is a bakery. Their sandwiches are between $ 2.75 and $ 3.50 which cost a little more than the other place but there is more meat. I have tried other varieties too and although they’re not as good as the chicken & meatball combo, it is just as good or better than the other place. Although their prices are more expensive when buying individually, they do offer buy 3 get 1 free so it is not that much more than the other place. Even if it is, I’m willing to pay a little more because sometimes you get what you pay for. Besides sandwiches, there wasn’t much else except for the oversize muffins which I haven’t tried.

I’ve been here on several occasions always opting for the banh mi thit nguoi (Vietnamese version of cold cuts). This sandwich isn’t the best I’ve had but it’s close to work and it satisfies my cravings. This past weekend though I decided to try something new so I picked the banh mi ga & xiu mai (chicken & meatballs). It was sooo good! It’s currently my new favorite. The chicken is very tender and the pairing with xiu mai couldn’t have been more genius.
I’ve also tried their gigantic raisin muffins and they’re alright. Not very many raisins in it and a little on the greasy side.
One last thing to note: CASH ONLY. Boo.

Preface: I am Vietnamese.
Located in the Walnut Plaza shopping center. Down a few shops from First Chinese BBQ. It is cash only and they offer a variety of sandwiches as well as muffins. Yes, muffins.
I had the #1. It was decent but not great. Bread was fresh and the meat was good but they totally skimp on the meat and veggies. It was not in proportion with the bread. Cost for a sandwich is between $ 3-​$ 5 depending on what you get. Mine was $ 3 and the special they are running is Buy 3, get 1 free.
Would I go back? Maybe if I’m craving one but still searching for a great Viet sub.

Tried all their subs. The grilled pork and BBQ subs are my favorite. They have grilled duck and quail which I wanna try next time.

This «banh mi» place is as good as it gets here in Carrollton! i frikkin’ love their chicken banh mi. The chicken is just perfect! It’s soo moist and full of flavor. The banh mi dac biet, which is a cold meat sandwich is pretty tasty as well. I order it with less or no pâté because i’m just not a big fan of pâté.
Glad they opened this one cause that Garland location is far just for a sandwich! When people ask me where to go get Vietnamese sandwiches I alwayssss direct them to this place!

I think I prefer the Garland location more when it comes to the taste and flavor of the sandwich. I think the meat didn’t have as much flavor as it’s sister location. The bread was great.
This location is a lot bigger with more room to accommodate patrons. Prices are definitely reasonable. Have cash on you because they don’t take credit cards.
I tried one of the pound cake muffins on this visit. You can’t beat a huge muffin for only $ 1.
Overall the prices are great, but if I’m in this shopping center looking for banh mi, I’d probably go down a few shops over to Ba Lee Banh Mi instead.

After watching The Great Food Truck Race and success of the Vietnamese sandwich truck, I was inspired to seek out local offerings of the famous Banh Mi sandwich. My quest lead me to this humble establishment.
Located in a strip mall (a bit of a shady one at that) are two very similar-​looking vietnamese sandwich shops. It was a coin toss, since I didn’t have a personal reccomendation. Quoc Bao it is!
Banh Mi traditionally consists of a french bread baguette, stuffed with pickled radish, cucumber, carrots, cilantro, chili pepper, mayo and usually some variation of pork.
We tried the grilled pork and also chicken Banh Mi with two drinks and got out of there for under $ 6 total! These babies are HUGE, about 12 inches of crusty french bread filled to overflowing with meat and veggies. The only complaint I had was that the mayo/​sauce was a bit sweet for me. However, I’m not a mayo fan in general, so most other people would probably be delighted in this sweet and savory spread.
NOTE: Unless you are well versed in Vietnamese be prepared to point at the pictures on the wall, or items on the menu, as the staff may not speak much english. Also, plan to eat in your car, or take elsewhere, as there are no tables available to dine in. I can’t wait to go back… ENJOY!

hm… I always forget to rate the vietnamese restaurants!
Anyway, this place has some of the best banh mis around! I get the banh mi thit nghoui (sorry I can’t write in vietnamese, eventhough I’m vietnamese… gosh I’m a disgrace) lol. I also love their thai tea! this is a good cheap place to get your lunch if you work around here.
if you’re on a college student budget then this is your place to eat! they normally have specials like buy 4 sandwiches get one free! I dont know about you but that’s meals for two days for me! you won’t worry about eating the same thing when you’re broke lol.

First Banh Mi experience:
Pretty decent. Bread was fresh, veggies were crispy. Chicken was flavorful. I dig it.
If I had to make some improvements, I would say that it needs more special sauce and more veggies.
I would definitely eat there again. It’s a 5-​star value for sure. $ 3 for a 10 inch sandwich.
I can’t say I’m completely in love with Banh Mi yet, but I think it could grow on me.

Best banh mi in the city! So authentic and delicious! Cheap! If you buy 3, then you get the 4^th one free! Can’t argue with that! You can separate the vegetables if you want. I would recommend doing that if you plan to save some for later. To be honest my Vietnamese is horrible… and I had a hard time ordering. It’s best to know what they have and what you want… too bad I can’t tell you that. My mom always order for me. LOL

You mean I can get some tasty banh mi from Quoc Bao and drive HALF the distance now?
HELL YES!
Its the same no-​frills set up as the original location, but in a slightly newer and larger space. The aroma of french bread smacks you when you walk in the door and a rows of pork, chicken and rolled ham wait for you to ogle behind a glass display counter.
I was thrilled to see the prices are the same as well (Buy 3 get one free = 4 banh mi for $ 9!) — and promptly ordered two chicken and two grilled pork banh mi with the vegetables added (you can get on the side if you like).
The pork has always been my favorite, but the chicken stole the show. Hot, slightly crispy and super juicy with tons of flavor. It was complimented well with the pickled veggies, fresh jalapeño and cilantro. The pâté was a little more mild than I had been expecting but it was a really nice balance with the vinegar from the pickling.
The real added bonus of this new spot is that they now sell Jarritos soda. Honestly, I think I just found my new favorite lunch combo in Dallas. Of course, maybe I’ll add in a couple tacos from the taqueria across the parking lot to round out the foodgasm, but that can be a story for another time.
Quoc Bao, I’ve always been a fan and our love will only grow stronger now that you’re only a two minute drive away.

The popular Vietnamese from Garland has opened another store about a month ago. I am very delighted to find they are closer to work. They bake French bread and various muffins, and sell them a very reasonable price. Their French bread is really good and popular. Even my European friend agreed and praised them for how good and authentic the way they bake this bread.
I come to this place primarily to order their Vietnamese subs and my favorites are the rolled ham, grilled pork, and grilled chicken. The combination of their bread and their dressing truly makes a really delicious meal. You can also get Vietnamese coffee and Thai tea, and some Vietnamese deserts. There is no seating in the store, so plan to have a picnic!
