Bánh mì in Cleveland: four city and nearby stops
Cleveland’s bánh mì choices in this guide now span AsiaTown, downtown and Gordon Square, plus a nearby bakery-café in Cleveland Heights.

The guide keeps the city boundary clear and explains which full recipe, portion size and kitchen window to check.
Where should you start?

4 bánh mì stops in Cleveland
This shortlist covers 4 businesses across 4 addresses. Prices are dated examples in US dollars (USD); owner menus and independent or delivery-platform information are identified separately.
Superior Pho
3030 Superior Avenue East, Cleveland, OH 44114, USA · Call the shop
An AsiaTown restaurant whose owner describes a classic roast-pork bánh mì with pâté, mayonnaise, pickles and jalapeño.
Consider ordering: Compare the classic roast-pork sandwich with the currently listed grilled-pork bánh mì.
Menu price example: The checked merchant menu lists a grilled-pork bánh mì example at $9.95. Confirm the exact item and current total before ordering.
Opening times: The owner publishes Tuesday–Saturday 10:30am–8pm and Sunday 10:30am–7pm; Monday closed. Confirm sandwich stock and holiday changes.
Delivery and collection: Check the live menu for collection or delivery to your address.
Vegetarian and vegan checks: Ask about the bread, pâté, mayonnaise and sauces as well as the main filling. A tofu or mushroom filling alone does not establish that the complete sandwich is vegan.

Pho Thang Cafe
815 Superior Avenue East, Cleveland, OH 44114, USA · Call the shop
A downtown Vietnamese restaurant with an owner menu explicitly naming a vegetarian sandwich. This gives readers a different location and filling enquiry from Superior Pho.
Consider ordering: Ask about the vegetarian sandwich with vegetarian ham and Vietnamese pickles, plus the day’s other available bánh mì.
Menu price example: The checked owner menu lists the vegetarian sandwich at $11. Confirm current pricing, additions and service charges.
Opening times: The owner lists Monday–Saturday 11am–10pm and Sunday 11am–7pm. Confirm when sandwiches are served within those venue hours.
Delivery and collection: Check the live menu for collection or delivery to your address.
Vegetarian and vegan checks: Vegetarian ham is named, but a vegan baguette is not established by that wording. Ask about spreads, bread and seasoning.

Ninja City — Gordon Square
6706 Detroit Avenue, Cleveland, OH 44102, USA
A west-side addition with an owner lunch menu that clearly distinguishes its bánh mì baguette from steamed buns and other subs.
Consider ordering: The braised-pork, ham and pâté bánh mì, or ask about the listed garlic-chicken and tofu alternatives.
Menu price example: The owner lunch menu lists a full bánh mì at $12 and a half at $7.50. Premium fillings and sides cost extra; compare the same portion size.
Opening times: The owner publishes lunch 11am–4pm every day except Wednesday. Confirm sandwich availability outside that lunch window.
Delivery and collection: Check the selected shop’s current collection or delivery options before ordering.
Vegetarian and vegan checks: The menu marks this item VG* and offers tofu, while the standard description contains pork, ham and pâté. Ask what the vegetarian preparation changes and which aioli is used.

On the Rise — Cleveland Heights
3471 Fairmount Boulevard, Cleveland Heights, OH 44118, USA · Call the shop
A nearby bakery-café option in Cleveland Heights, a separate municipality. Its owner menu explicitly describes both pork and vegan tofu bánh mì.

Opening times: Confirm bakery opening, café sandwich-service times and any sellouts before a special trip.
Delivery and collection: Check the selected shop’s current collection or delivery options before ordering.
Vegetarian and vegan checks: The owner explicitly labels the tofu bánh mì vegan and specifies vegan aioli. Reconfirm changes and discuss allergies separately.

| AsiaTown | Superior Pho’s address is 3030 Superior Avenue East. Use the full street number when planning directions or collection. | Superior Pho |
| Downtown | Pho Thang Cafe is at 815 Superior Avenue East. A shared street name does not mean the two restaurants share a building or immediate block. | Pho Thang Cafe |
| Gordon Square | Ninja City adds a west-side lunch option on Detroit Avenue. Its published sandwich menu is tied to the lunch service. | Ninja City — Gordon Square |

Plan your Cleveland bánh mì stop
Use the street number to choose your destination
The four addresses now reach beyond Superior Avenue. Gordon Square adds a west-side lunch plan, while On the Rise is a nearby Cleveland Heights destination. Decide which area suits your day and compare the current sandwich service before travelling between them.
Check the service session as well as the day. Superior Pho publishes a Monday closure, Ninja City’s lunch menu excludes Wednesday, and the bakery-café needs its own sandwich-service confirmation.
Compare the sandwich preparation, not just “pork”
Roast pork and grilled pork can appear as separate menu items. Check whether pâté and mayonnaise are standard and whether any change affects the price. Ask for chilli separately if you want control over heat.
A vegetarian-ham sandwich offers another texture and preparation. Ask what the ham substitute contains and which spreads accompany it. For takeaway, check the collection time and eat promptly if you prefer a crisp baguette rather than bread softened by a longer trip.
Add the new stops to your plan
The additional options are Ninja City — Gordon Square at 6706 Detroit Avenue, Cleveland, OH 44102, USA and On the Rise — Cleveland Heights at 3471 Fairmount Boulevard, Cleveland Heights, OH 44118, USA. Save the address with your order so a similarly named restaurant or another branch does not send you to the wrong collection point.
Start with one confirmed sandwich and collection time, then add a second stop only if its kitchen and stock fit the same outing. Match each ordering link to the address in this guide. Menu prices are dated examples; compare portions, extras and the actual collection or delivery service.
Vegetarian, vegan and dietary choices
On the Rise explicitly lists Tofu Banh Mi (Vegan) with vegan cilantro aioli. Pho Thang names a vegetarian-ham sandwich, and Ninja City offers a tofu modification that needs a full recipe check.
Pho Thang’s vegetarian description is a starting point for questions, not an automatic vegan or allergy guarantee. Ask staff to check the substitute, bread and preparation equipment for your needs.
How this guide was researched
The guide uses owner menu and contact pages plus Superior Pho’s merchant ordering menu. Prices and venue schedules are dated references and do not guarantee stock at every service. The expanded shortlist adds two separately researched businesses, with owner menus or current merchant and independent sources linked beside each new entry. Older addresses and conflicting timetables are identified rather than silently reused.
Published sources were checked on 26 October 2026. Menus, hours and delivery arrangements can change; confirm directly before a special journey. The archive city photograph is illustrative and does not show the listed shops.
