I swear those Banh Mi signs on streets make me hit the breaks. They are dangerous! Dangerous for the lover of Banh mi. I haven't noticed this takeaway store before, so lucky they had a sign. It is tucked back in a row of other businesses closest to the Unley Road side of Belair Road.
It's always good when you arrive to see a little line up of customers waiting for your meals. Then at least you know people come here regularly. This restaurant serves banh mi, cold rolls and pho.
This is a small store, nothing special. A couple of tables and chairs available, but it is more set up to deal with the lunch rush.
I ordered the BBQ Pork Banh mi. The rolls are fresh and the pork has a great flavour and good amount of crackling. My only confusion was that I was not given the option of fresh chilli. they gave me dried chilli? This wasn't so good. But, ok... I guess that is their thing. Also, their sauce tastes different. Most Banh mi sauce is a mixture of soy and fish sauce. This one was more sweet. Maybe it had hoisin in it? Not that that was a bad thing, it was just a different flavour. The only other thing would be that I might have liked a bit more filling, but at $5.50 I can't complain too much.
Great option for lunch on the run! read more
