I had gone to the Banh Mi Boys down the street often as a student and it always hit. I was happy to see that they reopened, and wanted to see if their food was as good as I remembered it being. Happy to say it was! For $6 you can get a delicious fried chicken or beef kalbi bao filled with juicy flavourful meat. Highly recommend coming here if you're looking for a quick cheap bite near Yonge and Dundas! read more

Banh Mi Boys - Chicken and Beef Kalbi Baos - Vietnamese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Haven't been in awhile and happy to report Banh Mi Boys (or as I call it, Bao Mi Boys because I prefer their baos to banh mi) is still good. Stopped by for lunch and got the bao combo which was 2 baos, fries and a drink. For the baos, I got the fried chicken and pork belly. Fried chicken was nicely crisped and juicy, pork belly was a bit too fatty and not meaty enough for me. The bao itself was as good as I remembered: fluffy yet dense, sweet yet bready, though got a bit mushy with the sauce. This location is on the second floor and has ample seating space. Automated order and payment at the counter. The kitchen is pretty quick with the service. Overall, an affordable tasty meal or snack. read more

Great lunch spot if your in the Yonge/Dundas area. The pork belly bahn mi was amazing. The bread was perfect and the veggies made the sandwich super fresh! Would skip the Bao bun, the Bao did not seem fresh which threw off the entire sandwich. Located above five guys with an unassuming entrance. Inside very clean and service was fast! Pro Tip: there is a cookie business that's sells amazing treats after you enjoy your bahn mi!! read more

This place was not the easiest to find given that the restaurant is actually on the second floor. There was a small door next to a weed dispensary that led up. They served Banh mi sandwiches, bao buns and tacos. For each item, you had to also specify which of the 3 posted spice levels you wanted. I went for medium which was saracha based. I grabbed a table by the windows while my order was being made. I picked up my order from the same ordering counter. The servings were generous and topped with julienned carrots and cabbage. The panko tofu bao was lightly fried and overflowed the soft bun. The pulled pork taco was juicy and savory. The siricha on both gave them each a kick in heat that was enough for me. Can't beat the price for the amount of tasty food you get. read more

I love coming here for the bao sandwiches. I usually go for the fried chicken, beef or the pork belly. My personal favourite is the fried chicken. The meats are all seasoned well and the veggies add a fresh flavour in the sandwiches. The bao itself is nice and soft as well. This time I tried the bao combo which starts at $14.25 and came with two baos of choice (some are extra price), a side of choice, and a drink. Also tried the club bao which is a secret menu item that includes the pork belly added to the fried chicken bao - it was however extra price. Its was a little heavy but had good flavours. I used their new self serve kiosk to order and it was very easy to use and order. They also take orders themselves at the cash though. It's a little dark in the restaurant but there are a good amount of tables to sit at. Usually I take them to go however it's great to eat there because you can eat the food when it's still hot and fresh. read more

It's hard to find a Vietnamese place which has vegan Banh Mi and this place offers one vegan and a vegetarian option and they get a star for providing that option. The individuals on the counter are quite helpful and knowledgeable for the options and were quick to tell us what is vegan and what is not. Good job. The order came in quickly. The upstairs in quite clean and neat. The place is not accessible as one has to climb up a floor. The entry to the place is quite small and almost discreet. We missed it in our way and had to turn back. The sandwich is good for vegans. The bread and tofu are the star and wish the tofu had still a lot more flavour to it. The family loved the Bao buns. The fries were really good as well. I assumed the sandwich would be reasonably priced but this is like a meal and not filling for me. read more

Haven't been to Banh Mi Boys since pre-covid and completely missed this spot. I had walked over to their old location and didn't realize they had moved to Yonge and Dundas. This location is above the Five Guys and is on the second floor. Not accessible as you need to walk up the flight of stairs. It was not busy for a Saturday afternoon and we placed our order on the self checkout screen. We tried the kimchi fries and substituted with sweet potato fries for an additional charge. Some seats were dirty with crumbs of food. We managed to find a clean table though. Unfortunately have to leave one star off for cleanliness... As for the kimchi fries, it was loaded with kimchi, meat and sauce along with a generous portion of crispy sweet potato fries. It was as good as I remembered! Would I make my way to this spot just for the kimchi fries, probably not as there have been similar fries and banh mi nearby in Scarborough. However if I am in the downtown area already, this is a convenient spot for a fix. read more

Banh Mi Boys - Kimchi fries - Vietnamese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Delicious food. Love the Kimchee fries. Usually busy but service is relatively fast, depending on the time of day.

A fusion banh mi spot, definitely not the authentic Vietnamese restaurant. Very fast service, sandwich is made to order. They gave me too much sauce and it overpowered everything else in the sandwich, I prefer a more traditional cold cut banh mi. The tables needed to be cleaned more frequently. read more

The grilled pork banh mi was tasty and a good size, French fries are good as well they remind me of Wingstop's.

Kimchi fries were great, I thought the value was good. The quality of the ingredients are really good and they do give you a good portion of meat and sauce. I do think they need to reevaluate how they package their food. I ordered takeout and it was a 10 minute walk from where I was. By the time I picked it up the banh mi was soggy, which is the most important part of the meal. The bread has to be crispy. Also minus a star for not updating your address on multiple platforms and minus a star for not being accessible friendly. read more

An order of kimchi sweet potato fries is honestly like a meal on it's own even though it's listed as a side. It's packed with goodies and sauces and every bite is so scrumptious. The veggies inside the banh mi are quite good. The meat quality can vary however. Sometimes you get meat that's super tender and cooked just right inside your baguette. Other times, you'll get a meat that is way overcooked or underdone and you end up having to spit out some gnarly pieces cuz they aren't chewable. The tacos are definitely not worth it. The tortillas dnt have the right texture and they're a lil stingy on the filling for each one. I'd say save your money for a banh mi or kimchi fries. I've also heard that you can have a different food experience depending on which location you go to (apparently there's high schoolers or uni students cooking your food at one of the locations?). I believe it's actual store owner relatives that work at this location. read more

Food quality: The food at Banh Mi Boys are really good. I like Pulled Pork Bao especially, why? The shredded carrots and cucumber are fresh, and the sauces are rich and savory. Plus, the option to choose from three spicy levels--mild,medium or hot. I can handle medium even I am not hot chiliphile ! Service: There is only one self order machine and just like others take away fast food shop. Ambiance: It's cozy and you can watch the Dundas St view. The toilet is also very clean. read more

Quality had gone way down since my last visit many years ago when Bahmi Boys were the hottest place in town for a Bahmi sandwich but not any more. Pickled carrots ratio to bread/chicken was too much. More like a pickled carrots sandwich than a grilled chicken sandwich. Supposedly my grilled chicken sandwich was not freshly grilled. Grilled flavor was non existent with chicken only slathered in salty sauce. Bread was not as fresh crispy as it should have been. Althought their side order of sweet potato fries were very good Nothing fancy, basic seating, They lost a customer, never going back. Many other bahmi sandwich places doing it right. This review should be 1 star read more

I was excited to try Banh Mi Boys after seeing all the four star reviews but I didn't find that it lived up to the hype. I got a Kalbi (Korean beef) banh mi and Kimchi Fries to go. The portions are a good size -- I was very full after eating the fries alone. I know kalbi is obviously not a traditional banh mi ingredient, but being Korean I thought it was fun that they included it as a fusion flavor. It didn't taste like Korean kalbi at all, though, and I thought the sandwich just fell flat. I've had a few banh mi at other places that had more flavor and just seemed fresher. The Kimchi Fries were good fries but if you are looking for a good kimchi flavor, you won't get it. There was barely any kimchi and the few pieces were watered down and not spicy at all. It had scallions, pulled pork, and mayo as well. A yummy "loaded" fries, but not really kimchi or Korean flavored. The food was good, just wasn't outstanding as I was expecting it to be. I'd be willing to come back to try other banh mi options, though. read more

Decided to give Banh Mi Boys a try. Ordered up a pork belly Banh Mi and a drink. The pork belly was pretty scant on the sandwich and didn't have much flavor. Thought the pork belly would be like a bbq pork belly with some crispy skin but no such luck. Salad on the sandwich carrots and cucumber didn't have much of a pickled flavor either. The bread for the sandwich wasn't the best either, not really crispy. read more

Stopped at Banh Mi Boys for lunch while touristing around the city. The banh mi was fresh, and delicious. Topped with thick slices of cucumber and carrots, this is a very light yet satisfying meal. The staff were friendly, and they were turning out orders for walk ins and deliveries very quickly, much like a fast food chain. Very well organized. They accept card. read more

Banh Mi Boys - Pork Bahn Mi - Vietnamese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Food was good, but I notice they changed the sauce of siracha and aren't using the original Siracha anymore, the food taste different from what it use to be, big difference probably won't be back for a while in this location I also asked the worker if I could get siracha on the side and they gave me the new siracha you guys used, I notified them this isn't the right one and they brushed it off as they've always been using the new siracha flavour sauce. They close the washroom early too before they close I ask to use the washroom and they declined even though the store is not closed yeah just for that it's one star review I'm sorry read more

Banh Mi Boys was a regular part of my diet throughout University and I still thoroughly enjoy eating here. I always get the classics: Kimchi Fries and Fried Chicken Steamed Bao's. The Kimchi Fries ($9.50) include mayo, spicy Asian BBQ pulled pork (not too much kick), green onions, and, of course, kimchi. I love the hot fries with the cold mayo on top and the pulled pork tastes amazing. It's a great dish that hits the spot, but sometimes I grab some Fried Chicken Steamed Bao's for the side. The Fried Chicken Steamed Bao's ($5.50) are juicy and crunchy. The sauce, fried chicken, bun, and vegetables all taste great - it's such a satisfying snack. The bun is a tad plastic-y at Banh Mi Boys in relation to something like Momofuku in which their outer is just soft and doughy. Extremely minor nitpick though. I've had the actual Banh Mi sandwiches before as well, but they're not my go-to. I used to grab the Bao's for under $3.50 and the Kimchi Fries for around $6.50 or $7, so it breaks my heart a bit that there have been consistent price increases here, but it's just a sign of the times. What used to cost $12 is now approaching $20, so the ratio of food portion size to price is getting wider. The locations are simple and fast. Seating on the side at the front and the kitchen in the back. Good place to takeaway or grab a quick seat and scarf it down. Always clean and staff are friendly and efficient. read more

There's a noticeable downhill in the quality over the years. The baguette is more stale/chewy than before, and there's less pork belly in the bahn mi. Otherwise, I do commend that its price hasn't changed all that much throughout the years and the service remains promptly. However, I don't think I would go back on a regular basis anymore given that it's evolved into generic fast food quality. read more

This place is a Vietnamese fusion to go banh mi joint. I got the pork and my husband got the chicken (both extra spicy which means sriracha and fresh jalapeños...the jalapeños were actually spicy!). Service is fast and the sandwiches are large. They have a great selection of drinks. I got the Mr. coffee and my hubby got a san Pellegrino. I thought the banh mis were fine and got the job done for a quick lunch. We did get a octopus taco, which was not good or fresh. So, I would stick to meats if you go here. To be fair, I don't love fusion food and it looked like other customers got the baos (so maybe those are better?). read more

Amazing banh mi!! I was starving but also, I think I can probably live on this everyday Little shop at the intersection. Close to college park where you can eat.

Kimchi fries is legendary. It also goes well with the pork sandwich. Ideal for takeaway.

Growing up I probably had banh mi sandwiches every week. This chain is a modern take on the Vietnamese banh mi sandwiches and it's amazing! great prices and even better sandwiches. My favourite is the grilled pork banh mi paired with the kimchi fries (definitely recommend sharing the kimchi fries). Only negatives I can give is the location is pretty small so there can be a lot of people waiting for their orders to be fulfilled. The line is also right next to the row of tables so not the most enjoyable dine in experience. If you're doing take out, i would recommend ordering aheadto avoid the lines. read more

Was in the ryerson area and wanted to try bahn mi boys again. It's been months (years?) since I've eaten at this chain. When they first opened I had found memories of well seasoned and tender pork with crunchy veg between a fluffy bao. Wow how times have changed. The bao had that doughy texture, the pork was bland (tasted reheated) and the veg was non existent. Very disappointing. Sure we're all hurting from Covid lockdowns but unless this chain starts to up their game to the high standard I know they are capable of then their survival may be at risk. A real shame. read more

Would not recommend. The pork belly was basically all fat and they forgot to add the peppers that we requested. The place was also not super clean (see pic). The banh mi also seemed to lack the spreads/sauces that are traditional to banh mi's, which made it fairly dry. Save your time and money! read more

That 5 spice pork meat and the fried chicken meat are BOMB!! They have a variety of other meats I wish I got the chance to try- all range from $7 or so for the banh mis, which is pricier but worth the taste. Mayo adds to hold both the banh mi and the bao together. I think the meat is really what makes it no matter what you get. Got it to go because they close at 10pm, went there around 9:37pm and they were closing up. See pics for menu. read more

I recommend the pulled pork bao! The boas are soft and spongey. They are a great size! Many bao places have small palm size baos, but one bao is pretty filling. I ordered the squid taco as well, but the tortilla shell was not very crunch instead more oily. It was also a bit dry since the squid was calamari style. I wish they added more sauce in the taco. Between the two, I would get the pulled pork one again, but not the squid taco. The restaurant is always busy, but its because the food is great! Definitley worth it!! read more

My friend and I always come here for a quick bite. We love how they have options for vegetarians! My friend will always get the lemongrass tofu banh mi & this time I got the kalbi beef banh mi. We also shared the tofu fries. All were good as always! Very consistent with their food read more

This spot is in the middle of everything yet hard to find maybe due to it's black colored board. We ordered 4 Fried Chicken steamed baos 2 Hot- Jalapeños which tasted sweet and 2 Medium hot - sriracha sauce was ok but a little more sauce would have been perfect. If you like hot and spicy stuff like south asian people my recommendation is to go with medium hot - sriracha sauce and ask them to double the sauce and violà... Can't complaint about the chicken as it was so tender and crispy to perfection. Best thing about Bahn Mi Boys Baos are they all come with some sort of veggies which gives them a healthy touch. read more

I went here with my friend about 30 minutes before they closed because we were in the area and looking for a snack-type of meal. I had previously heard of great things about Bahn Mi Boys, and thought that it was the perfect opportunity to try it out for myself. The place itself is on the smaller side, with a few places to sit down and eat your food. The workers there were really friendly even though we came before closing, which was really nice because I know how annoying it is when customers come in before close. Also, the food is EXTREMELY cheap, which is great for students like me. We both ordered the fried chicken bao. It was so delicious and filling, literally the perfect snack. Will definitely be coming back to try different things on the menu. read more
