In 2016, Lizzy Acker of Willamette Week said An Xuyên had "ridiculously affordable prices" and quipped, "You'll pay more in gas to get there than you will for a filling meal." In 2020, Krista Garcia and Alex Frane included the bakery in Eater Portland's lists of Portland's "top pandan treats" and 14 "excellent" sandwich shops in the city, respectively. Frane said An Xuyên "has quietly served some of the city's best bánh mì to a faithful crowd for years now". He also included the bakery in Thrillist's 2020 list of the best sandwiches in Portland. Garcia also included the business in Eater Portland's 2021 list of 11 "big-deal" bánh mì in the city.
