I ordered two vegetarian banh mi sandwiches which she prepared on the spot. While the order was being made I browsed the refrigerator section to see what goodies they had inside. Once the sandwiches were ready I added a couple of dessert trays of Bánh Bò Hấp (Vietnamese Steamed Rice Cake) and Bánh Da Lợn (Vietnamese Steamed Layer Cake) to the bill thinking it might be a little surprise for the family. The latter literally translates into "pig skin cake" but there's not an ounce of swine in it. In English it would be more appropriately called a layered jelly.

I would come back here again, probably very soon in the near future knowing me.

The one good thing about banh mi specialized stores is that they don't usually sell out half day like....tung hing. The prices here are really reasonable! Not the cheapest but definitely beats most downtime and North York places. Their banh mi are severed on 11 inches baguettes, and topped with whichever combination you chose from. Most of their banh mi are 5-6$. They also have an assortment of Vietnamese snacks and deserts. I got their meatball banh mi, and it was 5.25$! I loved everything but the baguette... it was not crispy enough. I will try to toast it myself next time at home, maybe that will do the trick.

Overall, they serve a decent banh mi for $4 but the banh mi is on the dryer side. They could def give more pate and mayo/butter to make it tastier. I do like the flavour which has a sweet note to it. The meat portion is not on the generous side but quite expected for the price. Service is friendly though and they were quick to prepare the banh mi.

Could have a lot more filling and flavour…read more Came to check out this banh mi spot since I was in the area. Decided to try this one since the last time I was in the plaza I got banh mi from the store next door. Upon walking in as a first timer, I didn't see any menu for ordering and had to ask what they offered. The menu is on the wall to the right when you walk in, which isn't a very obvious spot. Very few items here so I went with the original banh mi. Now to rate the banh mi. I will say, the bread is phenomenal. So fresh and crispy. However, what failed imo was the amount of filling in the banh mi itself. It lacked so a lot of pate, butter and was really skimpy on the meats. It didn't really have a lot of flavour as I'm use to from other banh mi shops. Such a bummer since it looks so authentic and seems like they could have so much more potential if they didn't skim on their fillings.

Imagine if Banh Mi and Pho had a beef dip baby. It was pretty delicious. The broth was super flavourful. It made me definitely want to come back to try the pho. I also ordered a regular Banh mi to go which was good but I'd probably stick to the more inventive sandwiches. The pork belly one sounds good too. The place only has 2 small tables so take out might be your only option. I was lucky that a couple were leaving just as my order was ready. Really nice hidden gem owned by a mom/daughter team and her boyfriend. They were super nice and told me to call ahead so they could save some pho for me next time I come. Go check them out!

It's run by a wonderful mother, daughter, and boyfriend trio who truly put their hearts into the business. The customer service is phenomenal. Mama and Liza make you feel right at home from the moment you walk in; they were so helpful with recommendations, and Mama even gave my husband some of their homemade cold cuts to try! You can tell everything is made with genuine love and care. The food is on another level: P01 Pho Dac Biet: This is my go-to order. The broth is simmered for hours and it shows--it's packed with flavor and depth. It comes fully loaded with all the best beef toppings: rare beef, tripe, beef balls, tendon, and brisket. S07 Banh Mi Thit Ba Chi: Their roasted pork belly sandwich is a must-try. Since everything is made to order, the bread is perfect and the ingredients are the freshest you can find. Though the restaurant is small, it "throws a mighty punch" with its flavors. Their focused menu ensures everything is fresh and bursting with authenticity. An absolute gem of a spot!

This is not your ideal place if you're looking for a fancy spot - you come here and eat if you're craving authentic Vietnamese food. They have a limited selection of items on their menu, but people who come here know that their bún chả cá is their specialty - and is one of the best in the area. I've been coming here for years. The owner Thuy, is still very much the happy person that she is, always warm and welcoming. I recommend this to anyone that's craving bún chả cá. The flavour teleports you back to Vietnam, a feeling that is familiar and at home.

When I came in, there were 3 people waiting for their banh mis. 1 of them was a large-ish order. It took quite some time for anyone to take my order and even longer to wait for 1 sandwich. I waited for approx 15-20mins if not longer. Quite a few people came in AFTER I ordered, but they got their sandwiches before I did which was weird. There are 3 people working behind the counter, and 1 of those people did cash as well. They charged tax even though I paid cash. Sandwich was good, but be prepared to wait. It was NOT a quick in/out!
