Just spotted this kiosk, an outlet of BON banh mi (from San Antonio Village), today in Zuellig Building. They have stock of that crunchy baguette, and a small supply of the banh mi ingredients, all of which are prepared in the main store. Their stock of pork barbecue ran out by the time I got there (around 3 PM), and considering their small space, a line is likely to form if demand is high. The banh mi is just as fresh as it would have been had you bought it in the main store.
Sandwich lover? Check. Do variations in sandwiches and fillings matter to you? Check. Do you love Bahnmi? Great. You live in San Antonio Village? Doesn't matter. Why? Because no matter how far you're from, and if you crave for tasty banhmis, then Bon Banhmi is the place you need to go to. The shop can be found in the residential side of San Antonio Village, along the busy Mayapis Street. You can easily find it because of its characteristic yellow sign above the door. Inside, you will find some pictures of their banhmi selections, their menu, and some tables and chairs. In front of you is a showcase stall of fillings that greets you as you walk in. The owners of the banhmi stall are from Vietnam, and they're normally manning the counter and making their great sandwiches for you. Their selections are traditional, fire beef, roast pork, and their optional banhmi (choose your own fillings). Of course, their banhmis are served in baguettes which the owners baked themselves. While you are enjoying your toasty and tasty sandwich, why not order their artichoke tea? Their tea is at 59 pesos each and is surprisingly good that it really goes with the sandwiches. If you come by in the morning, go grab their coffee, which, is a bit sweet to taste. Overall, their sandwiches are a great go-to and the on-the-go food which are both healthy, handy, and deliciously filling. They also offer deliveries, and they can make your sandwich in advance so you can pick it up later.
When you hear of Vietnamese food, it's always about the pho or the fresh spring rolls. (Not that I have anything against them!) where's the banh mi love?? Enter Bon Banhmi. A banhmi is a standard Vietnamese sandwich, a product of French colonialism (hello history lesson!) which uses a baguette as the bread with a variety of pâtés, beef, cucumbers, cilantro and other stuff. Imagine my surprise when my Mamita (a true tita of Manila) told us about this place in Mayapis-- a few blocks away from her house-- that sells really good Vietnamese sandwiches that all her senior citizen friends loved! Bon Banhmi is really more of a stall than a restaurant, and offers little else other than a banhmi and a standard Vietnamese coffee with a hella kick. It's better to go in the morning when he bread are freshly baked and the store just opened. If you are lazy, but craving for some banhmi, the restaurant also offers delivery within Makati for a minimum of 500 pesos, until 7Pm in the evening.
Located in a non-descript part of San Antonio Village in Makati is a little hole-in-the-wall bahnmi shop that packs a flavorful wallop. Personally, I frankly never got the whole enthusiasm for the Vietnamese bahnmi. I always thought - ok, another sandwich. Big. Friggin. Deal. That was way before I got the chance to try the best bahnmi ever. I've actually never been to the physical store of Bon Bahnmi. My officemates and I simply ordered our bahnmis via phone. That's also one great thing about the place - their delivery service. At Php 79 for the medium bahnmi and Php 99 for a large one, Bon Bahnmi's selections are incredibly affordable. Because of that, I didn't hesitate to order a large of the Traditional one which is made up of lean pork ham, salted and shredded meat, pig's head pate, and boiled meat. Our order finally arrived without a hitch and as I took a big bite out of the sandwich, I let out a loud, incredulous sigh. The bahnmi tasted so good. Each bite was so much better than the last. And before I knew it, I inhaled the whole sandwich. This review isn't an overstatement, folks. Bon Bahnmi's sandwiches are simply incredible.
Fist off, I love Banh Mi sandwiches! So I've been looking for a place in the Metro that serves up a decent banh mi... Found it!! As I first walked in, I wasn't sure what to expect. This is a quaint little spot that probably seats 10 people max, and I mean max 10 peeps. Thank goodness for air conditioning! I saw a lot of potential goodness walking in but unfortunately, all their spring rolls were not available, so I was off to an obviously good start, not! Who cares! we're here for banh mi! So on to the sandwich; they have a small and a large, I opted for the large being in NY they make them about a foot and a half long, but to my surprise, I see this French LOAF-ish looking bread come out and they start making the sandwich! I'm like ok 119 pesos for this huge sandwich, hmmmmmm, I wonder what I will have to sacrifice to get this honking huge sandwich for just over a hundred pesos... You know what... Totally took me by surprise, like a Mike Tyson 1st round knockout! I thought wow, this is really good. WOW this IS really GOOD! The sandwich although kinda awkward looking due to the large loaf-ish looking bread, was totally on point. The pâté was great, the meat and veggies plentiful for the sandwich. You won't get a mouthful of "tinapay" with your first bite, which I thought would be very possible, yet I'm pleasantly happy that I have yet discovered another place to enjoy those special cravings of memories past. The bread crust was actually perfectly crisp, I honestly don't have anything bad to say... Oh! I ordered the traditional banh mi sandwich, so I cannot speak for the others. This location is a little off the beaten path on one of the side streets in Makati, careful or you will miss it. For you guys who use WAZE, it's listed on the map, BUT its actually like caddy corner from the map location, I drove around the block a few times lost before I finally saw the joint. I tried to visit at night on one occasion, but a word of caution, they close early, in fact I drove by there tonight at around 7:40PM to find they've already shut it down for the night, bummer! a la cuisine! Stay Hungry!
I love it when I find Asian Street food here that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Case in point, Bon Banh Mi in Makati. Located way inside San Antonio Village in Makati, a place you shouldn't normally find joints like this one, Bon Banh Mi serves damned good Banh Mi at beyond reasonable prices. The first time I tried this, I was an instant fan. The Banh Mi was everything I wanted in a sandwich; the crispy exterior enveloped a wonderful combination of meat and vegetables. I can have this every day, seriously, and I'm happy I have a Banh Mi place so close to home that serves excellent sandwiches. Two thumbs up.
I've had this slight obsession with the banh mi ever since I took that first bite during my teenage years. That banh mi had bread that had just the right amount of crunch on the outside but was soft enough inside to welcome each bite. It was packed with pate, meat, coriander, and some veggies. San Antonio village in Makati has been getting some attention for some of the hole-in-the-wall restaurants that have popped up there. One of them is Bon Banhmi which is owned by a Vietnamese couple. We ordered the traditional bahn mi which had some pork lean ham (cha lua), salted shredded meat (cha bong), boiled meat (thit nguoi), pate (gio thu), coriander, veggies, and some special sauce. Vietnamese sandwiches made by Vietnamese people for around Php 99 - how can you go wrong with that? Having that first bite didn't disappoint and reminded me of that first bite I had when I was much younger. It's exactly how I recall a banh mi should be - a crunchy outside, some pate slathered onto the inside of the bread, a soft and meaty inside with hints of coriander, some veggies with the right amount of snap when your teeth break into them, plus some of that special sauce to blend everything together in all the right ways. This has got to be the best banh mi in Manila right now.
Pho Bon is a Vietnamese dining restaurant in metro Manila serving up some tasty Vietnamese food in PI for your Vietnamese noodle soup cravings. We ended up going to this restaurant after searching for a good bowl of Vietnamese noodle soup in Manila and ended up choosing Pho bon due to location and pictures from Yelp. As we entered during lunch the place was fairly crowded but still managed to find a seat. The restaurant serves up bowls of pho, rice dishes, and even has Vietnamese Sandwiches. I ended up getting the pho with well done brisket and since I was super hungry that day I also chose the banh Mi bo kho which was Vietnamese beef stew with French bread. The food came out quick and was looking esquisite! The Pho was beautifully garnished with thinly sliced green onions, cilantro, and sliced white onions with slices of fatty brisket laying over a bed of wide pho noodles. The freshly cracked ground pepper aroma coming up below the piping hot broth got me really excited to try this Vietnamese dish while eating it in the Phillipines. I was also accomodated with fresh herbs of Thai basil, Corriander, and thin bean sprouts and a side dish of chili and hoison sauce with limes. The soup was light in broth but yet flavorful but I felt it was lacking in the fresh herbs and spices such as the star anise, cloves, cinnamon, and ginger. The noodles were cooked al dente and I enjoyed chewing on them while slurping the broth. The banh mi bo kho was also another great dish to eat while dipping the fresh Vietnamese French bread into the soup with the nice cuts of stewed beef and vegetables. The flavor was yet light but also had a great taste and I really enjoyed this dish as well. Overall great expierence eating here while the food was on point but yet had its differences but also tasty. Customer service was great and the prices were very affordable for famiy dining or just eating with a friend. I totally reccomend this place to anyone looking to eat Vietnamese food in PI while traveling here. read more
My fiancee LOVES burgers and sandwiches! It's his comfort food. So, when he needs a sandwich near his place, we will drive by here. :) The menu is simple and straightforward. Choose from a variety of meats ranging from pork, beef or chicken. The more traditional pate is also available (my personal fave)! The sandwich begins with a crispy, crusty baguette, which they bake themselves, filled with your choice of meat. Then, they top it with shredded carrot, cucumber, cilantro, basil and pickled radish. The ingredients are ALWAYS fresh and the result is a very tasty sandwich! Tip: don't get the half size; get the full size! If it's your first time, try the large traditional banh mi. The large order is only Php99! They also offer Vietnamese coffee or Artichoke Iced Tea to go with your meal. If you're craving for a good bahn mi sandwich, visit this quiet little shop in San Antonio Village. Great place to grab take out and enjoy in the comfort of your home. :) read more
The Good: Authentic Banh Mi made by an immigrant Vietnamese family The Bad: They run out of bread sometimes The Pro-Tip: Come early or order ahead! They often close early when they've run out of bread for the day! Oh, where do I start? This place is just plain awesome! This place started out as s past-time/experiment of a Vietnamese family who moved to the Philippines. The dad found that there were no real, authentic Banh Mi places in Manila that were up to his standards, so he decided to make one! What started out as just a hole-in-the-wall food stall has turned into one of the most sought-after sandwich places in Makati! What's the secret to their own success? They make most of their own ingredients! They mix their own pâté, make their own cold cuts and get this: they bake their own bread! The french baguette-ish bread is what makes a good Banh Mi! Their menu may not be the most extensive (5 or 6 Banh Mi variants), but they are very very good at what they do! Will we be coming back? Every chance we get! read more

It's very worth to have Pho and Banh Mi sandwiches at this store. Yes, authentic! and cheaper, more delicious than Pho I had tasted in China (Dalian) before. I'll come back and take some friends. read more

There's just something about the Vietnamese cuisine. While it doesn't win any points for complexity, it's the simplicity, subtle variations and fresh ingredients draws me in all the time. And these days, you can find me in my favorite Vietnamese restaurant called Bon Bahn Mi. What's a bahn mi? First a little history. The French occupation in Vietnam ended in 1940 and with them took everything and left one thing: the baguette. The Vietnamese however decided to give it their own twist and lo and behold the bahn mi sandwich. It's a colorful combination of everything that makes a sandwich great. It has won the world over and luckily we can get it right in Makati. Owned by a man straight from Saigon named Thao, Bon Banh Mi bakes fresh baguette every day, places fresh ingredients in them and tops it with a special Vietnamese sauce. Being here feels like eating street food in Saigon, except that you wouldn't want to get up from your stool. read more
