Nine months ago, BANH was just an idea.
Today, we’re officially the Miami New Times 2026 Editorial Winner for Best Sandwich. 🏆
Thank you to our community for supporting us, @miaminewtimes for the recognition, and @booksandbooks for providing a platform for us to create and share our love for food and hospitality.
We’re just getting started.
❤️ BANH loves you

Talk about a full circle moment. 🥹
Almost 10 years ago, acclaimed chef Marcus Samuelsson @marcuscooks was a judge on Chopped Junior, where BANH co-founder Aidan Friedson competed and won twice! Aidan later went on to work at two of Marcus’s restaurants, learning firsthand from the chef who once judged him.
Fast forward to today, Marcus got to taste Aidan’s food once again while hosting a signing for his newest cookbook, Back to Green, at Books & Books in Coconut Grove, now home to BANH.
From Chopped Junior to a restaurant of his own, and a familiar face back at the tasting table.

Back where it all started @univmiami
Last week I got to come back and share with the community where my journey started.
@banhlovesyou started from my buisness partner’s @phuocv dream of opening a Banh Mi shop. We launched with no outside funding, worked 12-hour days, and handed out samples to anyone who would stop. One sample turned into a sale, then a regular, then a community that keeps showing up for us.
So grateful to Professor Susan Amat for having me at “Taste of Entrepreneurship” and for everything she does for student founders. And to Luis Mata of Meat N’ Bone for sharing the “No Shelf Life” panel. Hearing how he built his brand was inspiring, and I’m so excited we connected.
Couldn’t be more excited for a @meatnbone and @banhlovesyou collaboration 🤞

BANH at Books & Books is celebrating ONE YEAR in Coconut Grove! 🥖📚✨
What began as an unexpected, and delicious, meeting of Vietnamese flavor and literary charm has become a beloved part of the Grove’s food scene.
At the heart of BANH are Chef Phuoc Vo and Aidan Friedson, whose different strengths come together to create something uniquely their own. Chef Phuoc brings more than a decade of experience in some of the country’s most demanding kitchens, while Aidan, a two-time Chopped Junior champion and Miami Herbert Business School graduate, brings a lifelong connection to hospitality and a vision centered on food, connection, and community.
For the anniversary celebration, everyone stopped by to celebrate, taste BANH, and join in the fun, while the team kept the Birthday Bobbas with sprinkles on top flowing all day! 🧋🎂
One year in, BANH continues to bring Vietnamese flavor, creativity, and community together in the heart of Coconut Grove.
Happy 1st Anniversary, BANH! 🥂📚
Not just a sandwich. It’s BANH.

Excited to share the latest interview with Aidan Friedson, founder of BANH – the buzzing Vietnamese banh mi and boba spot tucked inside Books & Books in Coconut Grove!
We dove into his journey from UM grad to teaming up with Chef Phuoc Vo to bring bold flavors and fresh vibes to Miami. Aidan’s passion is contagious!
