Damn, best bahn mi and rice paper rolls. I had the tofu options for both. Delicious flavour, not to mention extremely fresh. I will be back!

The smell of roast pork belly is intoxicating as you walk towards the corner shop Extremely simple (and classic Vietnamese) shop fit out but complex and delicious food+bev varieties! I went at 11am on a Friday and managed to beat the usual lunch rush. I ordered one Vietnamese iced coffee and one chicken bánh mì. Bread was fresh and crunchy and the fillings were loadeddddd up. Chicken was a bit dry and chewy that day, but they’re usually good and service is lovely so I I didn’t mind on this occasion.

Always a great takeaway crispy pork Bahn Mi. Next time my parter will opt for the lite version that has slightly less meat. Don’t think there’s a place to sit in but that’s not their vibe, grab and go every time.

Was searching for a good bahn mi close to home and after reading the reviews I had to try this place. The 1st thing you notice when you walk in this place is how warm it is and that's why people wait outside for their order. There is also a screen with a speaker box outside so once your order is ready the number comes up on the screen and is also announced via the speaker. I wanted to try a few things so I got the crispy roast pork bahm mi, vegetable spring rolls and the dim sims. The spring rolls are made/cooked to order so they are pipping hot and super tasty. They also come with lettuce and a sweet chilli dipping sauce. The sauce does not seem to be home made unfortunately. 4 for $8 is what a serve of spring rolls will set you back. The dims are really good, hot, fresh and they are very generous with the soy sauce. If you are a lover of dimmies you need to try these and 3 for $6.50 is solid value. Now for the main event, the crispy pork bahn mi. For the 1st time ever pate and chilli aren't included in the roll unless you ask for it. Unfortunately I was not aware of this until I was eating said bahn mi. The pork was OK, but wasn't the star it should have been. The pickled carrot added good flavour as did the hoison sauce. It also had the other regular additions of cucumber, margarine, coriander and onion. Will I be back, yes. But I'll certainly be asking for chilli and pate for my bahn mi. There are also so many other items I want to try. So I came back and tried the crispy pork with chilli and pate. Unfortunately this didn't take it to the next level and the pork still didn't have any flavour. I also tried the cold rolls which were made to order but they didn't really have enough herbs to give it that fresh/refreshing taste.

Have ordered beef pho and pork and tofu banh mi several times, all delicious and they turn it around quickly despite always being busy when we’re there. Pork is crisp and by far the best pho I’ve ever had.
