Saigon Bistro in the Heights

What's great about Saigon Bistro is that they also sell a vegetarian friendly version of the banh mi with tofu+mushrooms instead of pork. Very tasty though must be eaten quickly unless you don't mind soggy bread.

It's good, but not great. But definitely the best in JC

Yes. Which is the answer to the question being asked.

Indeed, and I agreed, but just in case the OP is new to Banh-Mi, to keep exploring if they want overall greatness, just not the best in JC.

Kung fu pho does a good pork banh mi. They’re on grand by grove

I've probably tried most of their Bahn Mi sandwiches at this point and they've all been pretty damn good. The rest of the food was meh but I've enjoyed the sandwiches

Coming from BK it's still crazy to see Bánh mì twice the price

The one they serve for lunch at Saigon Cafe on Newark Ave downtown is pretty great. I don't think they offer it any other time.

I don't have many other places to compare it to but I like Short Grain's. If you're willing to go to Hoboken, Bon Banh is good too

Saigon Cafe. Only offered during lunch, but it’s very good.

Lol no it’s accurate but the state of Bahn mi’s in JC is depressing. Catch the path to 9th st and go to Saigon Shack in the village 😩
