"Where's the pork?"
Robert C.

Return or not return? Maybe. Had to try based on reading reviews. Why 3 stars? - Bland sandwich, bland salad roll, coffee is ok (though "thin"). That said, staff are polite, friendly. Salad roll ratio of meat vs other way off. See picture. Bahn mi ordered both honey garlic and lemongrass. Just too bland (and forgot jalapeños in one of them) Prices a tad on the higher side, and no issues paying but walked away with a lot of blah and not memorable.

Find the chicken

Worst food I've had in Vancouver in over 3 years I've lived in this city... ordered lemongrass banh mi sandwich and paid $2 extra for avocado... well, there was barely any chicken in there and one slice of avocado in the entire sandwich... the chicken was boiled and not lemongrass as advertised... what a disgrace

Cold Cut Deluxe + Lemongrass Chicken Banh Mi
Angela C.

Obanhmi is a small shop located on Kingsway and it remains my absolute favourite spot to get delicious banh mi! * Deluxe Cold Cut (7.5) Their Deluxe Cold Cut is filled with savory pâté, mayo, jambon, Vietnamese ham, and seasoned extra-lean pork belly. The cold pickled veggies and jalapeños added a refreshing contrast! * Lemongrass Chicken (6.75) The Lemongrass Chicken banh mi is beautifully marinated with lemongrass, red curry and Asian sweet chili sauce! I loved it with an extra drizzle of sriracha! The bread is also always crunchy on the outside with a soft and fluffy interior. If you check them out, don't forget to take advantage of their 15% off for online orders!

Deluxe cold cut banh mi

I ordered a deluxe cold cut banh mi through DoorDash. I received an email and text confirmation quickly that the restaurant received my order. It was quite fast. When I got to the restaurant and picked up my food in 15 mins or so, the banh mi was ready for pickup. The restaurant was quite efficient. It was my first time to try the banh mi here. The deluxe cold cut banh mi tasted delicious. The bun was crispy outside and soft inside. There was a lot of ingredients as well. It was great to eat it fresh!! It was big enough for me that I had to save some for the next day haha I would recommend this banh mi restaurant to others. I know there is competition in the neighborhood but in terms of quality and quantity this one is QUITE GOOD!! I had some banh mi elsewhere. The bun was big and had less ingredients or it was cheaper elsewhere but the quality was not good.

I've ordered here 3 times already and have tried the classic cold cut and the deluxe cold cut. The deluxe is worth the extra few $ and has more meat. Solid bahn mi's with excellent Vietnamese coffee. One of the three times, the bread wasn't as good, but still a a delicious. Not a fan of the salad rolls, but not a dealbreaker for me. I'll be back for more.

Sides and drink menu, August 2021

I think I may have found my new favorite banh mi place!! We ordered a variety of items and the ones I liked are: * the bottled Vietnamese iced coffee - strong and not too sweet! There is a label that indicate it's freshly brewed daily. I personally like the bottled version more because they'd put ice cubes in the cup version and I hate how it waters down my coffee. This was delicious! * deluxe cold cut - why I said this is my new fav place for banh mi. The sandwich was packed with deli meat!! Like, I'd bite into it and I'd get a mouthful. The other places didn't provide such a satisfaction. The deluxe differs from the classic in that it has the classic plus some lean pork deli. * garlic pork salad roll - this one was a nice alternative to the typical shrimp salad roll. It was delicious as I'm normally not a fan of the shrimp roll. Now, onto the items I didn't like as much: 1) the nem fries, which was minced garlic pork wrapped in wonton wrappers and deep fried. The filling wasn't much so I was mostly eating deep fried wonton wrapper. I'd recommend the garlic pork roll if you wanted to get sides. 2) sate beef banh mi - I didn't get that mouthful sensation as I did with the deluxe. It was also spicy and I'm personally not a fan of sate beef. Tips: Order online for pickup and get 15% off. Order banh mi and coffee together and get $1 off.

You gotta try the new Peach iced tea! Made with real tea and real peach fruits at the bottom. Authenticated with a strip of lemongrass. Mint leaf adds a soothing touch. On a hot summer day, it sure hit the spot $1 off when ordered with a banhmi

avocado and coconut smoothies
Teresa C.

If you are looking for a sandwich that offers flavour, complexity, value, and satisfaction, Obanhmi really ticks all the boxes. The aromatic and rich fillings, bolstered by Southeast Asian and Vietnamese umami-infused seasonings, complemented by the all-so-important pickled garnishes, and herbs/chilies if you desire, all encased in warm, crispy baguette. Nothing is out-of-context, everything plays a vital role to create the perfect bite. Sate Beef - intense, rich, sweet and spicy sate marinade is the perfect counterpart to rich AAA beef strips. Lemongrass Chicken- if you love the aromatic and citrusy intensity of lemongrass, you will surely enjoy this delicate sandwich. These robust flavours inter-mingling with each other creates a super tasty yet light sandwich. Deluxe Cold Cut - can never say no to pork belly, especially when it is as large as this. Beautiful, absolutely standout colors. The buttery, sweet, flavours coating your tongue with each bite, the ultimate PORK sandwich. Vietnamese Xiu Mai -this is the essence of an umami-bomb. Intense meat and a hint of seafood aroma, reminding me of the classic dim sum but still very original, gentle and soft mince with excellent texture, deeply savoury, our favourite one of all. Last by not least, chase everything down with their smooth and velvetly intense cold coffee, the perfect finish to a great meal. If you are not into coffee, their avocado or coconut smoothies are a blast, very refreshing and flavours are very clean. This is definitely a must try restaurant! You can also get 15% off if you order through their website!

sate beef banh mi
Isabel C.

I had the pleasure to try Obanhmi thanks to a friend's recommendation as she had done an Instagram collaboration with them. She had mentioned that this place had great banh mi's with a fantastic price point and quality. I ordered a meal with sate beef banh mi and pork spring roll while my boyfriend ordered the honey garlic chicken banh mi meal. Both came with drinks on the side and each meal was estimated between $14-$16 depending on the drink we got. The shop had just been renovated with a clean white and red interior. I really liked the cute newspaper with Vietnamese culture as wallpaper! Taste wise - the pork spring rolls looked simple but they actually tasted great! The filling really reminded me of my dad's spring rolls...lots of meat and vermicelli. My banh mi was nicely sized with a decent amount of meat and veggies, the beef was well flavoured and had a nice aroma. For the honey garlic, my boyfriend and I did both find it a bit dry...We wished there would be more sauce in the banh mi (or more vegetable filling). The shop also features adorable multi-colour drinks. I didn't try any as I ordered an ice coffee (which hit the perfect spot for me btw) but my party all gave high praise to the tasty and unique drinks. Overall, I enjoyed Obanhmi and would definitely come again if I were in the area!

I have been wanting to try the Banh mi here since my friend told me it serves halal Banh mi. Only 1 is halal and that is the lemongrass chicken. I am not sure if you need to specify you want the halal version. We had the lemongrass chicken and classic cold cut. I much prefer the classic cold cut. Very tasty. I wish they added sriracha and hoisin sauce on it too. Maybe I need to ask? The iced Vietnamese coffee is good, strong and flavorful. The pork spring rolls were average, not something I will get again. There are meal combos which include the spring roll and water or pop. Add $3 for iced coffee. If you do not want the spring roll, just get the coffee as it is a dollar off with a Banh mi purchase. There is also a 15% discount for online order for pick up. We didn't do that as it seemed like a hassle. There is also a loyalty program where you get a free sandwich with 10 points (1 point for each sandwich). You can also purchase chicken broth, frozen meat and meatball to make your own pho at home. Dessert and bottled Vietnamese coffee are also in the chiller for purchase. Limited seating for dine in due to covid. Nice clean space though. Street parking is available on kingsway and side streets.

#7 The Deluxe Classic
Angela N.

If you're looking for a delicious and affordable Vietnamese sandwich spot, definitely check this place out! Stumbled upon this place and I'm so glad I did! Ordered the #7 The Deluxe Classic and #8 The Classic, and both sandwiches were absolutely delicious. The bread was soft and fresh, and the meats and veggies were fresh as well and not soggy. To complement the sandwiches, I tried the Vietnamese coffee which was perfectly brewed and the Mango Smoothie which was an absolute must-try. The smoothie was made fresh with real mango bits and my boyfriend, who is a smoothie lover, absolutely loved it! Pricing is very reasonable, and the service is to par. Clean place as well! Overall, a fantastic spot for a quick, delicious, and affordable meal. Highly recommend giving it a try!

I loved the packaging and the taste of their Banmi Vietnamese subs. They are well done and at a fair price . Subs are good portions too so no complaints A dedicated Banh mi place at good prices is just what Richmond needed !

Decent banh mi (Vietamese sandwich) place along Kingsway. Parking is free in front outside of the afternoon rush hour. The inside looks a bit like a modern hipster coffee shop. Technically this isn't too misleading as they do serve (authentic) Vietnamese coffee after all. I tried both the #1 (Lemongrass chicken) and #8 (Classic cold cut) sandwiches. Both are tasty, but a wee bit more expensive than the competition. Both were also not as spicy as I was expected. Might want to mention this to the staff if spicy is your thing. The spring rolls here are rather mediocre. They're rather thin (almost like hot dog wieners) and weren't anything special. I would skip these. Wouldn't mind coming back, but there are quite a few other options in the area.

This time on my visit, I got the pistachio matcha latte with soy milk (hot), and the ham and cheese croissant. The latte had a really nice matcha flavor, and was the right amount of sweetness for me. I couldn't really taste the pistachio at first, but after having a few more sips, I noticed the slightly nutty flavor. I would definitely get this again. The croissant was nice and flaky, and had a good amount of filling in it. It was seasoned well and I liked how the cheese oozed out a bit too. The customer service here was friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. I accidentally forgot to mention that I wanted to sub the milk for soy, and they were happy to change this as they were making my drink.

Shredded coconut was a nice accent of this drink and I really enjoyed until the last sip. Short bread cookie was very good and both drink and cookies looked very nice and a pretty set. One of the most beautiful presentation drink in 2026

From the outside looking in, i used to drive by thinking it was a vietnamese movie rental place But to my surprise when i walked in, it was a grocery store / whole in the wall truly authentic vietnamese sandwich food shop. So humbling to get to discover this place. It's super small but the service is splendid and very personal. The menu reminds me of a screen saver, it flashes and changes. Super easy to read, cashier worker was really good at recommending items. But since i'm half vietnamese, i wanted to try it all anyway. But if i were to recommend a specific item it would be definitely try the vietnamese steamed rice rolls. They make it fresh to order. There are various flavours to choose. They pack the toppings and sauce onto the side so nothing gets soggy or spills in the car etc. I tried the honeycomb pandan baked cake for very first time and omg it was so amazing ! Texture is bouncy and flavour packed. This place takes cash and debit only! You can call in and pre order or if you're good with reading vietnamese .. you can even pre order on their website. There is street parking or parking at the back. They open everyday !!! Ambiance is comforting and not even loud .. considering the area it's located.

A great little local grocer and casual restaurant, Mercato Di Luigi is well worth seeking out. Parking is somewhat limited, since it is located on East 12th, but if you can arrive on foot, all the better. A solid five stars. A simple bowl of perfect pasta just made my day.

It's so cute and quaint, fits maybe 8-10 people, so perfect for a little lunch date or girlfriend chat fest. We ordered lattes ($5), which were delicious, not too milky, definitely good strong espresso. We shared the daily special which was cream asparagus pasta and a mortadella sandwich. Perfect amount for two people. The pasta was perfectly cooked, and tasted so fresh, it had plenty of fresh cheese on top. I found it was a little salty, and a bit dry, but it was still delicious ($21). I will try another pasta next time. The mortadella sandwich ($13) we asked for grilled and it was sooo good. The fresh made foccacia was amazing. It had plenty of mayo and arugula which paired perfectly with the creamy mortadella. They sell plenty of fresh pasta sauces like bolognese, cacio Pepe, truffle cream sauce, along with fresh pasta including gluten free fresh pasta We loved our time here and we will be back!
