This place serves cheap (prices include tax), pretty good Vietnamese banh mi (baguette services). But the service leaves much to be desired. The lady at the counter went beyond the usual brusque Asian service and shouted at me when I took pictures of the menu ("no picture! no picture!"). I guess they have so much business, the staff don't want even more publicity or they'll be overwhelmed. The BBQ Pork banh mi ($5) was pretty spicy even for an Asian palate (and despite my asking for it to be a little spicy - that service!) That said it was good - it was a good size, there was some crustiness to the bread, the pork was very fragrant and there was quite a bit of it. Assorted cold cuts ($3) was pretty good - there were quite a lot of cold cuts and the quality of the meat was good. Lemongrass sausage and garlic honey sausage were both good too; garlic honey was a bit better. Other sandwich options include shredded pork rind, meat balls, super (just a big sandwich), sardines, shredded pork, vegetarian, BBQ chicken and peppercorn ham. Also tried the spring roll. While it was pretty big, it was below average, tasting disappointing and having too much yam. It also came without dipping sauce. Still, at $1.50 it wasn't too much of a regret. They sell desserts too. Mung bean with coconut cream (unlabelled) was pretty good - the mung bean was a little gloopy but it was fragrant and the coconut cream on top enhanced the experience.
I remember spending summers at my grandfather's video store in Massachusetts and eating banh mi sandwiches from a cart. Those were the good ol' days. I walked into B&T Food Centre looking for banh mi sandwiches and was disappointed, only to find that the sandwiches are located right next door at Nguyen Huong. They have a variety of banh mi options, but the faded photos make them all look the same. I just pointed at one of the sandwiches that they were already making and said I'd have one of those. Prices have increased since others reviewed this place. The super sandwich that I ordered was $4, which I still think is a reasonable price. There were other sandwiches at lower price points. The banh mi sandwich was legit. The bread was crunchy, the meats were soft, the mayo sauce was flavorful, and the pickled vegetables were tasty. The only thing that was missing was the cucumber. Eating the banh mi at Nguyen Huong brought me back to my adolescent days. Nguyen Huong also has prepared and packaged desserts. I will have to go back and try those. Note: cash only.
Remember the good ol days when you could get this for $1.75? Well haha not anymore or never at this location anyways, they've kept prices same for years now from $3-5. It's strictly a take out place, no seating in the area to be found here. The ladies here can be very friendly but are usually to the point of get your order and moving the line fast. When ordering the veggie sandwiches(banh mi) they'll always ask if mayo is ok. For spice level, a little spice means 1-3 chilies which is hot and will still linger and heat your tongue. The right side of my tongue and lip is warm-swollen feel from munching a chili! So eat prepared and order a milky beverage to qualm the fire in your mouth! The viet desserts are yummy, if you love coconut milk then you're a fan. Usually a bean with tapioca shaped jelly in a sweet coconut milk soup. You can also buy the sandwich meat and other ingredients to make your own sandwiches at home which is handy. The French banquettes are always so fresh here, a great place to grab a snack or lunch if in the area.
Nguyen Huong is a walk-in sandwich shop, tucked unassumingly next to a supermarket. It has a wide variety of banh mi sandwiches, as well as spring rolls and other vietnamese food. We ordered the typical cold cut for just $3 from the counter. There's no seating, but no problem, we enjoyed our banh mi in the park instead. The cold cut sandwich had plenty of ham, sweet pickled carrot and coriander. The baguette was fresh with a flaky crust. The regular order had a mildly spicy butter spread that I quite enjoyed. The staff who made our order was patient but a bit difficult to understand due to her accent. This location is conveniently close to Vaughan Mills. We'll probably be back when we're seeking a sandwich again.
Probably one of the best banh mi places in the north GTA. Word of advice, do not eat the banh mi in your car no matter how tempting, as their bread is incredibly crunchy, and flaky. I always seem to make a huge mess eating this, as there just does not seem to be any "clean" way of eating this. As mentioned their breads are very crispy and flaky, part of the appeal of the sandwich. The portion ingredients are also very fair and lemon grass sausage is usually my go to here. Their regular subs are tasty, and they have a very good variety of sandwiches. Other places have done their own spin on banh mi (also named after the type of bread they use in the sandwich which is the French baguette), but this is the "original" style and still very tasty. Price is incredibly hard to beat given their most expensive sandwich is objet about $3, really how can you go wrong? Definitely worth a try, and I always make a pit stop when in the area.
Had a craving for bang mi and found this place that's attached to the grocery store. Really fresh bread and tasty banh mi. Recommend the spicy one. Lots of traditional viet take out avail at decent prices. $3/sandwich
Nguyen Huong's Banh Mi is my perfect in between meal snack! I like how they made every single Banh Mi when their customer order them instead have them all pre made as at the Scarborough location. As I like to request my sandwich extra extra spicy!! Line moves fast! Even before I can decide what I want! Grilled Pork? Lemongrass Sausage? Chicken? Cold Cut? I can snack on one of those everyday! FYI, Scarborough location does have a less doughy baguette for their more expensive banh mi.
At my friend's recommendation, we came to try the assorted cold cut banh mi. Previously before I only had premade packaged ones that were cold and hard. The ones here are freshly made and you can taste a huge difference from the cold cuts, carrots, and cilantro. For $3, it's a great deal for this sandwich. I would cone again to try the other options. Besides sandwiches, there are numerous side dishes for sale. In addition to their deli area of premade Vietnamese dishes and sandwiches, there is a grocery area next to it making it very convenient to eat and shop.
Would the real Nguyen Huong please stand up? Please stand up? Oh, there you are and you're in the same plaza as Mister Baguette. I barely noticed you being beside the Southeast Asian Grocery Store. 2.5 *Star* Okay, this looks more like the Nguyen Huong that I've visited in Scarborough and Downtown. Fridges align with Deli Meats, Prepared Foods, Snacks and Desserts. Vietnamese Sandwiches(Banh Mi)? Of course! They make each one to order here without any pre-made ones. Still the rockhard tasteless Baguettes of all Nguyen Huong branches but you can't ask for much when you're paying half the price of Subway Sandwiches. It ranges from $1.75 to $2.50 or so depending on your choice. 3 Color Drink($2.50) - Don't get it. Just don't get it here. Half the cup is Ice Cubes and I had to remove them first since they were placed on top of all the Jelly and Beans. #10 Lemongrass Sausage($2.25) - Lemongrass Sausages are pretty tasty and all the standard Banh Mi ingredients are given such as Pickled Veg, Cilantro, Mayo and Jalapeno. I just don't like eating it with the Baguette. Btw, I'm less of a Bread person so that you know.
Yikes! At first glance this reminded me of the 1980's style Chinese grocery stores. At first it's the aromas that hit your olfactory system. It is connected to the grocery store so I guess it's all the meats and seafood that scent the air. We came here for the bahnmi and got the cold cut, bbq chicken and the honey garlic sausage one. My husband really enjoyed his cold cut. My bbq chicken sandwich was a fishy stale chicken on a baguette gone wrong. My son's sausage bun was a desiccated mummified-looking pepperoni thing. It really wasn't appetizing especially after seeing the lady pick up the cold cut meat that dropped on the floor and tossed it back into the bin. The sesame balls were good as were the spring rolls. These items saved this review from Being a 1 star read more
Found it; the Bahmi sandwich mothership exists, urban legend is true. Workers are friendly and are sandwich making machines. $4 sandwiches, upsize for $1 extra, that's right, throw your hearing aid away, your hearing is correct. Inflation go to hell. Go for the spicy for that extra kick, don't be a wuss. Check out their menu, an abundance of sandwich variations. I always go for their assorted meats sandwich. Good ratio of meats to vegs, traditional Vietnamese sausage slices, pates & other mystery protein. A nice crunch with every bite. read more
This places specializes in banh mi, small plate eats (such as fresh rolls, chow mein, broken rice etc) che ( vietnamese desserts), and large assortment of drinks. Prices went up the last year but still affordable. There are further discounts during the evening. There use to be a choice for banh mi ( reg or large) but haven't been offered these options the past few times Everything tastes legit, pretty consistent and worth a try read more

The food service is not constant. they are messing up the order. They are cheap out on meat and veggies too. It used to be a family thing, I guess not now. Not worth the drive to get it at Nguen Huong. Sad. read more

Pssst there's a Nguyen Huong inside the B&T Vietnamese grocery store. Ok it's not a big secret, but it's not readily found either. Nguyen Huong is famous for making Banh Mi, Vietnamese sub sandwiches. They currently have 5 stores in the GTA and distribute their assorted subs to the various T&T groceries. This location is a full fledged store offering the whole shebang from meals to go, snacks, desserts, deli, all packaged to take home. Layout, it's small but has the essentials. A long order/pickup counter on right and a refrigerated area on the left. There is no seating available so keep that mind. It's purely a takeout establishment. I looked over the menu and went with the old reliable no.1 cold cut sandwich made spicy" at a tune of $2! Hello! that's pretty cheap. I tell you nothing beats getting a Banh Mi fresh! She asked me how many I wanted, I answered just one. Suppose at this price, you can buy a few for later? Inside the sandwich you get: Pickled cucumber Cilantro Carrots Assorted Cold cuts Jalapeno pepper ahh mouth is still on fire!! Hot Spread of liver pate They have other sandwiches available like the lemon grass sausage, chicken, meatball, bbq pork/chicken. Nothing is priced more than $3 If you're in area and you want to have a fresh Vietnamese sub for cheap check this place out. read more

We came here because a friend recommended on their Vietnamese Banh Mi sandwich. We never thought it was located next to Vaughan Mills Mall. When we first walked in we saw a lot of ingredients inside the open fridge. Apparently, you can customize the sandwich to your liking. While we are there we try to take some photos but the sales lady said no pics or video allow. We end up ordered the assorted cold cut sandwich from their menu. The price was very reasonable. The sandwich and the meat inside is very fresh. Definitely a great place to go to for afternoon snack. read more

We dropped by for a quick lunch before heading over to Vaughan Mills mall on a Saturday afternoon. The banh mi are good, inexpensive, and filling. The banh mi we picked are reasonably priced and enough to keep your appetite full. Picked the "Super" (#4 on the menu) with no butter, it had bacon, the basic meats, cilantro, pickled carrots and daikon. Overall, it was a delicious sandwich. Well worth the $3.50 price tag. All the meats and pate blended well together. The baguette itself was perfect for the sandwich. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Also had a bite of the bbq chicken (#8 on the menu). Both sandwiches were good. If you are in the mood for banh mi then check this place out! Service is efficient, responsive and direct. The place is located in between a large supermarket and Dollarama. The place was bustling -- a lot of people coming to buy multiple sandwiches and other offered items. There isn't any seating inside, so definitely a take-out if you want to give it a try. These banh mi are best eaten while they are fresh. Prices are just about right. Give them a try if you are passing through. read more

The vaughan location conveniently located beside a grocery store saves you a trip from traveling to their main location in Chinatown. By far the best deal for a amazing sub/ sandwich with freshly baked bread. The spicy sub just had enough kick to bring the flavors out without touching your tongue. Be aware for long line ups and bring cash. read more
