Our story

About Us

Fresh bread, bold flavors, and food that brings people together.

At our core, we're a simple idea done right: fresh bread, bold flavors, and food that brings people together.

Our shop is centered around the Vietnamese classic—bánh mì—a sandwich known for its crisp baguette, savory fillings, pickled vegetables, and fresh herbs. It's a balance of texture and flavor that's meant to be both satisfying and accessible. We're proud to bring authentic Vietnamese food to South Denver, with two locations serving the University of Denver neighborhood and the greater Denver metro area.

1 Our Story

Banh Mi Station was founded by Tom Xu, a restaurateur whose roots in the kitchen run deep. Tom's family has been part of the local food scene for years — first through King's Land Seafood Restaurant, a beloved dim sum and Cantonese institution, and later with the Little Bakery House, where the craft of fresh-baked bread became a daily ritual.

It was that bakery experience — the early mornings, the smell of baguettes coming out of the oven, the obsession with getting the crust just right — that planted the seed for something new. Tom saw how a great loaf of bread could anchor an entire meal, and he wanted to build a place around it.

"Great bread is the foundation. Everything else is built on top of it."

That vision became Bánh Mì Station: a focused, fast, and friendly café dedicated to the Vietnamese sandwich and the rice plates and drinks that round out the table. It's a natural expansion of the family's story — bringing together the hospitality of a restaurant and the craft of a bakery into one bright, welcoming counter in South Denver.
