about east side BÁNH MÌ
OUR STORY
East Side Bánh Mì is a "fine-casual" restaurant located in East Nashville, TN. A family-owned and operated business by industry veterans & chefs Gracie Nguyen & Chad Newton & part of the You Are Here Hospitality group of restaurants.
Centered around classic Vietnamese cuisine, East Side Bánh Mì merges traditional flavors with locally-sourced ingredients using authentic family recipes.
And for all you West Coast-ers, you can also order and enjoy our food in the San Francisco Bay Area through Noshery!
