Banh Mi Nana serves two items: Banh Mi and Coffee. They have a little shop with about 8-10 seats and most people who order takeout. They are a cash/debit only business. Their Banh Mi is one of the best in the GTA, it's basically a double/extra meat Banh Mi with all the toppings. It also reheats well at home. We got one per person and it was a filling lunch. Would stop by again when in the neighborhood! read more

I finally came around to trying the banh mi here and was quite happy with it. The bread is very light and crispy without being chewy, and it was generously filled with ham, paté, mayo and pork floss. I personally found the pickled veg to be bland and didn't bring the sweet/sour balance that was needed. The paté also has a mushroom taste which was interesting. Overall it's a good banh mi and worth trying, especially if you're in the area. read more

As someone who grew up eating Vietnamese food, I'm always picky about my bánh mì -- and Banh Mi Nana did not disappoint. The first thing I noticed was the crunch of the baguette. It had that light, airy interior with a crisp crust that does scratch your mouth due to the size lol (you know what I mean ). The pickled veggies were fresh and not overly sour, and the meat was flavorful without being too salty. It's not a fancy place -- but that's part of the charm. It feels like a simple, no-frills sandwich shop that focuses on doing one thing well. Perfect for a quick lunch stop in Thornhill if you're craving authentic Vietnamese sandwiches. I'll definitely be coming back to try different combinations. Highly recommend for bánh mì lovers in the GTA! read more

Delicious banh mi. Bread is crispy, but soft inside; loaded with lots of meats and pork floss. They don't cheap out on the pate and butter mayo either. For $10, this Banh mi is super filling. Definitely worth a try if you're in the area. read more

Banh Mi Nana - Sandwiches Near Me - Markham, Ontario

Tried Banh Mi Nana and thought it was a decent spot overall. The sandwich was super loaded and very filling, especially for $10! While it was alright, I did feel that the flavours were a bit muted and it lacked some freshness compared to other banh mi spots I've tried. Maybe it felt just too heavy for me? That said for the portion size and value, it's definitely worth checking out if you're looking for an affordable, hearty sandwich. read more

Banh Mi Nana - Sandwiches Near Me - Markham, Ontario

Cold cut less butter more pate, the bread was toasted and crispy. Too much meat, but too expensive.

Tried Banh Mi Nana for the first time today. We went right before lunch so luckily avoided any line ups. There's only one type of banh mi on their menu - their house special which came prepared on a fresh baguette, stuffed with thick pickled vegetables, pate, cold cuts, and pork floss. The banh mi had a good slather of butter and sauce and was a good portion. I also ordered their Vietnamese coffee, which had a nice strong flavour that balanced well with the condensed milk. Highly recommend this place for a quick, delicious bite! read more

Banh Mi Nana - Sandwiches Near Me - Markham, Ontario

Tips: - Cash and debit card payments are preferred. This store does honour credit cards as payment. - There's a tip jar. - Seating is available, but it's low to the ground and seemed more for kids than adults. A recent Yelp experience introduced me to Banh Mi Nana. I returned for more. I left my parents' place at noon and got here at around 12:20 pm. I couldn't find any surface parking. I saw a short lineup outside Banh Mi Nana. It was recommended to get here earlier in the day, as this place does sell out of its banh mi fast. I parked underground. It was my second time doing it. There were lots of spaces. I'm still trying to figure out entrances. I took the stairs where it was an exit only. This eatery is between two bubble tea joints: CoCo and Tiger Sugar. The door was propped open. I walked in. The lineup appeared long. The woman in front of us said that she was waiting for her order number to be called and had us move ahead. Two others in front of her were waiting on the left. I moved up to order. The menu is straightforward. Banh mi. Choose from regular or spicy. Canned drink. I went with lychee. I got my order number and found a table to sit at. It was super low to the ground. It was suited for kids. 5'10" me managed to sit down on a sturdy, small chair and my knees were roughly at the same height as the table. I didn't know if I could get up from the chair. Did I need help? I was practically sitting on the floor. I did manage to get out of my tiny chair and felt like I had instantly reached geriatric status. This place was kind to take the cold cans out of the fridge, crack them open, and pour the juice into cups with ice. My lychee drink was so refreshing and delicious. It was naturally sweet. I appreciated the ice and the straw. Another man making countless banh mi called out my order number. I grabbed my sandwich, which felt like a sub in a paper bag, and headed to the table to chow down. The baguette was crispy and super flaky. It was awesome! It was a messy experience eating this perfect banh mi. It was worth it. You cannot eat it neatly. Would you like pork floss with your banh mi? Yes, please! This place did not skimp on any ingredients, including pork floss. Delightful! My banh mi was packed with all the best ingredients. Pickled carrots. That yellow mayo that was creamy perfection. The sliced meats. Pate. Whatever else that was in it. OMG! The best banh mi I have ever had. Hands down, except when I'm holding a banh mi and devouring it. The baguettes are baked fresh. I saw a female staffer put a few in the oven as I waited for my order. I was drooling. No banh mi sogginess! I got to read the history behind this business. We saw a woman with her two children holding a sign with LS03733. The number represented their refugee number when they arrived in Thailand. They had fled Vietnam in 1960. The woman? En Tran. She survived three months at the refugee camp. She ended up in Vancouver to rebuild her life. She sadly passed away in 2000, but her banh mi recipe lives on here. This business is a food stall. There are no washrooms. You'll need to use the one at Commerce Gate that was downstairs. I had an excellent experience. I bought an iced Vietnamese coffee before I left. The photo showing three different types of iced coffee was misleading. There's only one type. I paid with a credit card. I didn't have a debit card or cash on me. I appreciated the flexibility. The iced Vietnamese coffee was delicious. The coffee was strong. It balanced out with the dairy. The ice was nice, as it kept my drink cold the entire time that I consumed it heading back to my parents' place. I loved my banh mi and iced Vietnamese coffee. I wouldn't sit down and eat here again. I would definitely return for the best banh mi and iced coffee. (319) read more

Food 4/5 Service 3.75/5 Ambience 4/5 - decor If you want a deluxe Banh mi, this is it from Banh Mi Nana. There are two long tables with mini-chairs good for children for dine-in but in the day I popped in, there were two families dining in. Bags of take out orders were being made that day. Banh Mi comes in two types, regular or spicy. Each Banh Mi bun is toasted before it is filled with homemade pate, cold meats and pork floss. For me I tasted a "curry flavour" which might be in the pate or the butter. The pickled turnip, cucumber slices and cilantro are packaged separately to the Banhi. Included in our bag were eating gloves. The Banh Mi tastes rich! The price is rich at $9.94 with tax. I would pay this over the less expensive banh mi at Banhi Mi House which were skinny and a bit dry. On the Saturday following their soft opening the line up for the Banhi was about 15 minutes. The restaurant is a homage to the owner's grandmother. The story is posted on the wall. The take-out is in a busy plaza with a ton of restaurants and eateries. Parking in this Asian plaza is extremely busy. read more

Decided to stop by Banh Mi Mama for lunch, and I wasn't disappointed! Banh Mi Mama is located in Commerce Gate and is a quaint little shop with seating. The seating could be better as the chairs are plastic and child-sized, but its understandable given the size of the shop. I believe they have only one option for Banh Mi, an assorted cold cut Banh Mi. Unique than other places, they add pork floss which adds a good texture and flavour to the sandwich. I also really like that they toast the baguette so the outer crust is crisp. The pate they use also has a nice salty touch. I tried a sip of the Ice Drip Coffee and it was super strong, definitely not for non-coffee drinkers like me! They have a variety of canned juices as well from mango to lychee. Overall the quality of the Banh Mi is great. They only accept cash and debit so make sure you're prepared. I can imagine that the wait gets a bit long since they prepare each sandwich on the spot rather than preparing them in advance. At $9 per Banh Mi it is a little pricier than other options but you are definitely paying for quality. Would recommend! read more

Purposely stayed away from their soft opening BOGO special, who in their right mind would wait not only 1 hour but over 2 to 3 hours for a free sandwich, as evident from the initial negative reviews, some people must have alot of free time on their hands. With that long waiting time I could have driven to Port Hope, watch the salmon run and come back in time to see my banh mi being made. I decided to take a chance and went today before 1130, guess what, no lines, with all the meats, veggies, pate and other unrecognised ingredients it does take them awhile to construct their banh mis, there are no choices, it's all our nothing. It's a small place with 2 tables at knees high height if you decide to eat your banh mi right away. Not sure if I would feel comfortable with people standing over me while eating. Their baguettes are authentically fresh, flaky, crispy and crunchy similar to the ones I had in Vietnam, you don't know how many times I've been disappointed with smaller soggy flavorless baguette looking like bread used in other banh mi places. Ingredients are on full display at their glass counter while they construct your sandwich, I went for the spicy option (minced green chilli) which gave the sandwich not only a spicy kick but also enhanced the overall sandwich flavor profile. Very impressed with the freshness and abundance of ingredients. A good well sized ingredient filled banh mi Btw they only accept cash. My neighborhood is now complete, only thing missing is a Taco Bell read more

New place grand opening DEFINITELY need to find tune some things. Over 2 hours wait to get to the door not yet order which is an additional 45+ min wait. Despite arriving a few minutes after 11am with already a line out and around the mall. Honestly they should have told people how long the wait is and I wouldnt even wait. There some older folks and pregnant ladies standing in line in on heatwave is not good. 3 hrs front starts to finish. People seen giving up and leaving the lines Initially you were able to get 6 in total for buy 1 get 1 Vietnamese buns cash only, as time passed went down to 4 then later 2buns. Which ment those early birds were able to buy 6 and and everyone after did not get the same offering. They did offer some small medicine size cups of lemonade for those waiting in the sweltering heat. Assembly of the food took way too long. I think all these bahn mi need to be premade if you are offering a promotion. Skip the toasting of the buns just adds to the wait. Promotion marketing wise better to say until sold out have a more organized system as they weren't sure if they had enough for the rest of the day and it was only the first round of people. Unfortunately probably lost a lot of customers due to this then but buns it'self is $ 8.80 each . The promo is BOGO regular bahn mi. Alot of money spend on logo stickers and names. Probably can get a decent banh mi for 5$ downtown chinatown. Food wise only 1 option on bun mild or spicy but mild was running out so was given a mix. Bit of a messy sandwich didn't skimp on the filling the butter and pate was good additional pickled veg , meats were good no complaints really, pork floss, sauce ( fish, lemon grass sweet soy in separate bag with a disposable glove. Located in commerce gates highway 7 plaza next to Coco and tiger bubble tea, ample free parking. Very small store was decently decorated. read more

If you know Banh Mi Huynh Hoa in Saigon... then you know. And Banh Mi Nana? She's the closest thing I've found here. Everything's made fresh in-house: the crispy baguette, the deli cuts, the butter and pate spread, even the pickles, all from Grandma Nana's own recipes. And though she's no longer here, her story lives on through every sandwich her family makes. The banh mi itself? Probably one of the best I've had here. The rich pate, the savoury meats, the fresh, soft, and airy baguette. And those thick-cut pickled carrots and daikon? That's how we do it in Saigon (so you know Banh Mi Nana is the real deal). The crunch is essential to cut through the richness, not just for texture but for that perfect bite. The Vietnamese coffee? STRONG. Not too sweet, just the way I like it. (They have a bac xiu too if you want a softer intro.) From the GRAB delivery uniforms to the red plastic stools and stainless steel tables, it feels like a street corner in Vietnam. This place made me miss home a little more than I expected. read more

Cute little Banh Mi shop and feels like I stepped into Vietnam as soon as I walked in. The owner is super nice and friendly. The Banh Mi was delicious and filling. The bread was cripsy, fresh and soft. You can request for more or less butter and cilantro. They topped off with lots of pork floss which adds a good flavour in addition to the traditional items. Their Banh Mi even has their own specially made bbq pork meat. They drizzle their own special sauce at the end as a final touch. The dripped coffee tastes strong and authentic. The coffee is smooth and perfect sugar level. I really enjoyed the sandwich and drink here. I will definetely be back. read more

Brought my daughter and her boyfriend who has never had Banh mi before so I had to take them. And the verdict is he loved it he inhaled the whole thing and also finished my daughter's cuz she couldn't. It s a small place. And even smaller chairs and tables. Reminds me of the ikea Children's table and chairs. Hahaha. Service was quick. No lineup. Only one kind of Banh mi here. And u choose regular or spicy. Fully loaded!! read more

I have been seeing Banh Mi Nana all over social media. I know they are constantly busy so I came after lunch on a weekday and guess what, still a line out of the door. The inside decor is really cute and their seating is just like the one in Vietnam. They only have one banh mi option woth assorted cold cuts and pork floss. You can make it spicy if you want. I ordered and waited around 20 minutes for the order. The banh mi was massive!! You can really taste the quality of the ingredients. I wish they had other options to choose from and not just one banh mi. I usually get the meatball one from other places so was hoping to try it here. Hopefully they'll add more in the future. Highly recommend this place!! read more

Banh Mi Nana - Sandwiches Near Me - Markham, Ontario

Cute interior and love that they don't have a big menu for indecisive people like me. They pretty much only have their special banh mi, spicy or not spicy. Their bun is crispy and fluffy, sandwich was loaded with toppings (love they also have pork floss), and size was very reasonable. I had half leftover and it was still good eating it two hours later. They only take cash or debit, and if you wish to dine in their seats are quite low so not great for bad knees or back. read more

We ordered five banh mis from here and inside one of the banh mi's had a USED PLASTIC GLOVE inside!!! She cut up her banh mi and found a small piece of plastic it in, however we weren't sure what it was, until she checked the other half and we unraveled it to find out it's a glove. We called and the staff tried to offer a gift card rather than a full refund... absolute insanity. So unsanitary and definitely will NOT be back, disappointed. read more

I was very skeptical of this place because the pricing seems VERY high for an assorted cold cuts bahn mi. But in the end I caved and came to try. I typically order grilled chicken or lemongrass chicken banh mi, but when i walked into Banh Mi Nana, I didn't see a menu of the different banh mi options. I only saw an advertisement for their special banh mi, and a few Vietnamese coffee options. So i ordered their special banh mi, which is the equivalent of the assorted cold cut option at other banh mi shops. Total came to just under $10. Pricey right? But when i looked over to their sandwich creation station, the cold cuts looked different. I do recall watching an IG post saying that they make everything in house, including the pate and butter. Their pickled veggies, cucumber and cilantro all looked VERY fresh. While i watched them assemble my sandwich, they don't skimp on the fillings! Also, i noticed that the "spicy sauce" isn't regular sriracha, but it was green, looked like a finely diced chili relish. I got back to the car, and dug in, now this banh mi is defintely in a different league compared to the $5 assorted cold cut banh mis. The cold cuts have a meat texture as opposed to the gummy baloney type textures from store bought cold cuts. The higher price you are paying is not only paying for the amount of filling, but also the quality of the filling. read more

Great banh mi. You can taste that the baguettes are fresh. I would say my only critique is that they do overload on the pate and the butter- almost to the point where it's TOO rich. I would consider asking for slightly less next time (not sure if this is allowed?). Otherwise, would 100% come back. read more

I can see why this place is going to be up and coming. The first thing I noticed when I walked into the store was the decor. Very viet style and even the music was viet. Lots of people were waiting for their order. There were only a couple of tables and the tables are VERY short. More for children rather than adults, but it's so cute to sit in. There's a huge mirror on the sides so you can take pretty cool photos. The Banh Mi were ~$9 each - but there is a reason for that. They are HUGE. Bigger than your regular $3 banh mi from scarborough. There were more meats inside the sandwich and it tastes different. I think this is a MUST try and you won't regret it. You can also go to Phin La, right beside it, to grab some viet coffee or ube coffee! Win-Win! read more

The bread was beautifully toasted, tasted fresh, i appreciate the toppings you don't normally see on Banh Mi sandwiches like the pork floss. Generous with the meats and accoutrements. Fast and friendly service, will definitely be my regular spot! read more

Saw the ad last week and wanted to go, but I've never been a big fan of waiting in massive lines. Decided to go another day. Finally went today, there was still a small line, but it wasn't crazy and finally got myself a bahn mi. Not sure if they're only offering one item FOR NOW because they're too busy, but had a mild to go. Bread was nice and fresh, the internals were great too. My only complaint (and this is my own fault, was that the mild was pretty spicy). Lol read more

Banh mi tastes exactly like the ones in Vietnam. They are the only spot in the GTA that uses flour from Vietnam and have that perfect Vietnamese bread that is crispy on the outside but light and soft on the inside. Their bread is baked fresh everyday and you can tell the difference in the first bite! Highly recommend read more

Banh Mi Nana - Sandwiches Near Me - Markham, Ontario

This one of the best Banh Mi places in all the GTA. A very simple menu and great value.

Their banh mi are warm, tasty and pretty hefty, so 1 is good to share between 2 people for a snack or a light dinner. Choices are spicy or not spicy, that's it. If you choose spicy, it's the sandwich spread itself that is spicy, so if you're planning to share one with someone who does not eat spicy, please note you can't pick out any jalapeño to make it non spicy. Even though there is a lot of filling, I feel there is something missing from their bread. The bread is ok but bland, even when you take into consideration all the flavours going on. This feels like a modernized version of a traditional banh mi. The seating, though "quirky", is not very welcoming as the tables and chairs are comically short, not comfortable at all for older guests or those with mobility issues, not to mention the winter months when we're all in long winter coats and jackets. Grabbing banh mi here for take out is the better choice, but be careful as the sandwich can create a lot of condensation in the paper bag if you have a long drive home. read more
