On my way to have dinner down the street at Pai, we stopped by this Banh Mi Boys location for an appetizer. Ordered their pork belly banh mi. It is five spice in flavour without being overpowering. The bread was crispy and chewy. Good amount of toppings like pickled carrots, cucumber slices. I'll come back to try the Bao and kimchi fries next time.
The interior isn't much to write home about but the food is so consistently good And very reasonable! If you're looking for authentic banh mi, this is not the place but if you're looking for delicious banh mi, this is definitely the place.
Viet fusion Banh Mi I had to try the Kalbi Beef Banh Mi. Yummy grilled kalbi beef, but I wish there was more meat. They weren't stingy on the pickled carrots and radish though. It's better than the ones in Chinatown, but I don't think it should be triple the price. The Pork Belly Steam Bao was a bit small, fatty and not grilled long enough. Surprisingly, I really liked the sides. The Sweet Potato Fries was well done. There's not enough spicy mayo, but you can ask for more. I also liked the refreshing Jicama Papaya Salad, with a vinaigrette dressing. Fresh and fast service. Definitely worth coming back for their other menu items.
This is my go to for a "sandwich" (or bao or taco or fries) that's good value - well-sized, fairly priced. I typically get a banh mi, but this past week I got the squid taco and the fried chicken bao. If you've been sleeping on their other options, don't miss out and give 'em a try. The friend chicken in particular is excellent and I am sad I haven't given it a try until now. I look forward to trying the secret menu club option (fried chicken + pork belly) the next time I am really hungry! PS: You can get the kimchi fries with sweet potato fries instead of the regular ones. If you don't want to ask, you can sub it in easily on Ritual.
Ever since I found out about the secret "club bao" nearly 2 years ago, I have been ordering this whenever I get a bao at Banh Mi Boys. This bao is perfect for people like me, who can't decide whether to get the fried chicken or pork belly. But remember to get lots of napkins and a fork when you eat this, it's going to be messy! I had club bao a few times now, and it always hits the spot for me. The fried chicken is juicy with a thin batter. Most of the time, the pork belly isn't overly fatty. The bao is soft and quite fluffy. However, the most recent time I had this bao, which is also the first time at this location, I was very thirsty afterwards. The bao wasn't overly saucey, so maybe they modify the sauce here? Overall, I really enjoyed the club bao and have recommended it to my friends and colleagues!
I love bao , haven't had it in a long time and I haven't been to this location before so I was pretty excited to go. Price Range (Not including tax): $4-$7 per item. Food Quality (Taste, Serving Size, Menu) - 3.5/5 I'll admit I think I overhyped myself for this which is probably why it didn't meet my expectations. I got the Pork Belly Bao and the Fried Chicken Bao. I thought the food was good, It just didn't blow my mind. I usually love pork belly, so I was a bit disappointed by this one. I didn't think it had a lot of flavour, a spicer sauce would have helped. The fried chicken was pretty good, pretty crispy, I should have ordered a spicier sauce for this one as well. The quality of the bao was amazing, really soft. The vegetables were fresh. Just as you expect with bao, they aren't overly big. The meat to bao ratio was pretty good. I had 3 since I was pretty hungry and it filled me up quite well. Atmosphere - 3/5 It had a burger place look which I thought was good. They have some seating, since it is more of a quick meal. If you're going with a large group like 5+, It might be hard if it's busy time. Parking is a bit tough since they don't have their own lot. I'd recommend parking on a side street near by as some of them are free. Serivce - N/A You pay at the counter and picked up the food yourself so there really isn't much service involved. That being said, the cashier was nice and courteous. Wait times for food can vary, we had to wait about 5-10 mins but there were a lot of orders in front of us. I could see it taking less when it's not busy. We went around prime dinner time. Would I go there again? I do want to go there again to try the spicier options to see if it gives more flavour and to try the Kimchi Fries; I regret not getting them last time.
I went to the Banh Mi Boys restaurant on Yonge St north of Eglinton. The restaurant is nicely decorated and there are plenty of seating. The staff was friendly, but it took a while to get my food. I ordered the pork belly banh mi sandwich. It was very good and tasty. Would I go back? Yes, the pork belly banh mi sandwich was very good. I would like to tried the rest of the menu.
When I want to get a banhmi fix, this is my go to place. I recently tried their bao, which is the steamed white bun with pork belly. Because it's a little smaller compared to their banhmi, I ordered a side of kimchi fries with it. I really enjoyed the pork belly bao and is definitely not just a snack for me. The kimchi fries came in a generous portion, however, the kimchi didn't make the cut for me. Due to covid, all food orders are take away. I should have asked for the topping for the poutine to be packed separately for me to assemble when I get home. The fries were soggy by the time I got home. The taste was fine, there was pulled pork in there also. I felt the kimchi poutine was a meal on it's own. I will go back for their banhmi and baos.
Why have I not tried this sooner? Was in the area and I discovered that Banh Mi Boys is amazing. First off the store ambiance is great. Seating, cleanliness and a view of the food preparation area. When I went it wasn't too crowded (11:30ish) but I believe lines form around 12:30 until 2. Nonetheless, they seem fast and efficient. The menu is awesome and great pricing! I love how the menu has vegetarian options in each area too, that's a major plus for me. Decided on tofu fries and a Panko crusted tofu bao. my order was ready very swiftly. The tofu fries were delicious...basically kimchi fries but instead of pulled pork they substitute with tofu. This is incredibly filling...I was not able to finish the entire box. The tofu bao was delicious too!! Lightly fried Panko crusted tofu with Sriracha and fresh veggies....mmmm so good!! And the prices are so reasonable! I'll definitely be back soon.
I'm not really impressed with Banh Mi Boys. Tried them once downtown a few years ago and just felt it was overpriced Banh Mi. I'm Viet so I'm use to the original stuff in Vietnam or at least the small stores in Chinatown which sells for like $2-3 a sandwich. Decided to give them another go and tried the kimchi fries recently and thought it wasn't too bad but nothing to rave over. It wasn't hot enough for me but the kimchi added a unexpected spiciness to it that I did like. Primary issue I was a bit concerned about is the cleanliness. There were so many fruit flies where I was sitting... It was off putting. Like I had to repeatedly squat them away while eating. Staff need to take garbage out more frequently. Overall, my opinion hasn't really changed. I think its overpriced for what is offered and am confused by why everyone loves it so. If I'm ever in the mood, maybe I'll give them a 3rd chance and try the baos or a Banh Mi again. Lol
I was really happy with my flavourful meal! The pork belly banh mi tasted better than the kalbi but what, I'll give it 5 stars anyway! :) service was good and the food stayed relatively warm despite the driving time. Would love to have it fresh once ready next time, I'm sure it'll be 5++ stars. Missed this! read more
Was feeling peckish and finally stopped by here. A Ban mi sandwich looked too big so grabbed a Grilled Chicken Bao. It was perfect. Service is friendly. They have lots of seating and some standalone benches near the window. read more

I have only tried the little bao buns here and my favourite is the crispy chicken bao. The bun is so soft while the chicken and carrots are crisp so it's a very nice contrast. My mouth is watering as I write this. The portion size is also great for me. I haven't seen many places offering little savory foods. They are usually big, more than$10 portions. Also, If you order on ritual app you dont have to wait in line. read more

This city needs more Banh Mi and this place delivers! The spices are plentyful, the food is cheap and the flavour is amazing. The bao was very fresh and hit the spot. If you're going the bao or Taco route, get 2 as they're not enough on their own. The five Spice Pork belly was good, but the Beef Bao stole the show! Wait times are reasonable for lunch time takeout considering this is day 2 of them being open and the line goes out the door! Definitely stop by for a quick bite of happiness! read more

I really like this location. My favourite is the secret menu bao. Staff is always nice, and the keep the place clean. Food is ready pretty fast. Cheap, fast, simple and delicious! read more
Visited them last week for the first time. I had a Grilled Chicken Banh Mi and the wife had a Lemongrass Tofu Banh Mi, and we both loved our sandwiches. The veggies were very fresh and crisp. The chicken was very flavorful, so were their dressings. The location is very convenient. Prices are very reasonable. Portions size is good. Great taste. Amazing value for money. read more
Banh Mi fusion at its finest. I went right after the lunch rush so the service was quick and efficient. Ambiance is right up my alley with street art decor and 90's hip hop tunes. The 5 spice pork belly banh mi was on point with 3 levels of spice (sriracha, fresh jalapeños, and fresh habanero peppers) as an add on. Bread was fresh with the bite a proper banh mi needs with generous portions. Some of the better sweet potato fries I have had in a while and were very fresh. Definitely worth checking out for a quick meal in the 6!!! read more

Banh Mi Boys is a a twist on your traditional Vietnamese sandwich shop. Instead of your typical cold cut meats there is Korean and Taiwanese style meats, like braised beef, pulled pork and duck confit. There is even a southern inspired fried chicken steamed bao bun. So you take your usual Vietnamese sandwich palette and swap out the sliced pork and meatballs for something way more flavorful and higher quality. The food here is seriously delicious. You'll want to keep coming back for more. This will no doubt become a regular stop of mine. Yum! read more

Small seating available but service was prompt and friendly. The portion of the sweet potato fries was quite large but a bit over fried. The sandwich was good but a bit to much mayo. If you are looking for an alternative to Burger and regular fries this would be very similar but with an Asian flair. I love the cilantro that they include in the banh mi. Great for a quick bite on the go. Street parking tricky to find as it is located on Yonge St. Also, they always play 90's music which I love. Enjoy! read more

Really good place. Meals were constantly being cooked when I went, which means nothing was precooked/left to sit around like a lot of places. I like how you can pick your preferred spice level (I like things really hot). Kimchi fries are a must try, way better than I expected. Beware though, this place uses a lot of garlic. read more
