The signature Vietnamese BBQ Pork Banh Mi (P 95), with smoky and tender grilled pork, sweet and tart pickled carrots, daikon, and fresh cilantro on a freshly baked baguette. Add some Sriracha, and you have a true Vietnamese classic.
The fresh, crusty baguette is perfectly crisp, combining well with the pickled vegetables and fresh toppings, and before you know it, you're already halfway through your sandwich. Sweet, smoky, and savory, Banh Mi's sandwiches pack so much flavor in every bite. Seriously good.
Fresh Spring Rolls (P 99), with fresh vegetables, shrimps and noodles. The crisp vegetables and sweet peanut sauce combine for that distinct and authentic flavor. Fresh, clean flavors, and a great side dish to go with your sandwich.
And why not go all-out and order one of Banh Mi's signatiure pho? The classic Pho Bo (P 195), a hearty and comforting beef noodle soup served with fresh bean sprouts and cilantro. Banh Mi Vietnamese Sandwich Eatery also offers a range of Vietnamese coffee, including iced coffee to complete your experience.
