Banh Mi Ok

Banh Mi Ok is a small Vietnamese sandwich shop on School Street in downtown Boston. Banh mi choices include grilled chicken, beef, barbecue pork and a house special with Vietnamese cold cuts. Pickled vegetables add crunch to the baguette sandwiches, and a tofu option gives people skipping meat something to order. Vietnamese iced coffee is another reason to stop in.

The shop has limited seating, so it makes more sense for a quick lunch or takeout than a long meal with a large group. Its School Street address puts you near Old City Hall and the downtown portion of the Freedom Trail. Keep it in mind when you want a sandwich between stops without turning lunch into a sit-down restaurant visit.
