Banh Mi Viet — Restaurant in Melbourne

Very nice bánh mì especially the grilled pork roll. $6.5/each. Very full with lots of meat. They marinate and grill the pork similarly to the ones in vietnam. So quite authentic taste. I really like their sauce too. Ask more if you want. Their roasted pork roll is super nice too for $7.5/each. Added meat for extra $1.5, so full. You can choose between sweet sauce or soy sauce. For me, sweet sauce tastes much better.

Also have pork bun for $5/each. Pretty good too. They also have many other snacks and drinks for sale too.

You can check the menu from my photos.

Service is great every single time. The staffs are super welcoming and accommodating with our special orders /queries. Best services among all the bread roll shop in st albans.

I thought I’d check out this place as I know St Albans is synonymous for good banh mi, and this place came up as highly rated. Unfortunately for me it was a bit average. The bread was beautifully made. Nice and crunchy and fresh. I ordered the crispy BBQ pork. Unfortunately the fillings balance wasn’t quite there. The bơ (the egg white and butter mix) was spread on quite thick and drowned out a lot of the flavour of the pork and lemongrass fillings. The pork was a bit bland in comparison and the vegetable fillings just “sat on top” and didn’t really mix all together. The staff were lovely. $7.50 was an extremely good...

In brief, good but not great.

Filling and taste was well balanced but personally I think a bit more butter and pate would do well.

Surprisingly, found the highlight of the banh mi was, well, the banh mi. Crunchy on the outside without ripping the roof of your mouth and fluffy on the inside.

Workmates also echoed the same sentiments with their respective banh mis.

Noticed there was a steady stream of takeaway during lunch but thankfully not much of a queue, would suggest to call ahead for...
