It's because of the labor and cost of goods.
Ingredients to make banh mi are very cheap but workers in the US are paid more for transportation, making the food and the business operating(lights, has, etc) so now the price rise to fit the cost.
Also some items are priced higher to cover more expensive ingredients. Let's say you are doing beef banh mi, that's usually scrap beef from something, let's say some sirloin scraps, your steak on the menu should probably be like $40 but if you sell a ton of banh mi you can cut that price down to like $30-$35.
