THE BANH MI GIRL — Restaurant in Melbourne

Ordered an $11 crispy pork banh mi. Flakey crusty dry style bread. Extremely generous fillings. Includes lettuce, but also the classics eg pate, pickled carrot, coriander, spring onion, chilli etc. Very nicely cooked roast pork with super crunchy crackling. I thought the last sauce she poured over was a western styled salty brown gravy, but after chatting with the Girl it turns out to be a house-made runny hoisin. She said there might have been oyster sauce in there too. Certainly not lacking in flavour. A bit too salty for my taste, and a bit over sauced. Only hot meats available because “the boys around here don’t want cold cuts”. Barbecue pork, grilled chicken. Dim sims, potato cakes. Egg and bacon breakfast roll. Overall a very good banh mi from a tiny store that’s been going...

pretty disappointed in this business. Went for a banh mi after reading great reviews. service and food was amazing, however I noticed I was charged $36.40 for a $12 banh mi as they has their machine up high and I didn't check the total. Once I was home I realised the error and contacted them, they issued a $24.40 refund via bank transfer, then requested a chargeback from their bank? My friend also checked her account and released she was also overcharged. incredibly poor business practice. imagine being charged almost $40 for a single Banh mi.

I'm now on the phone to my bank trying to sort the chargeback request out. Please check they don't overcharge you Banh mi was SA solid 10/10...

Great for local workers who like dummies or potatoes cakes & other fried foods.

The banh mi is very westernised with slaw salad and other non authentic salads. And cost is $10, never seen it so high.

The Pho ($15) was ruined with a cheap sauce all over it called "hoi sin sauce" with you can buy in jars for a few dollars.

For that price you can to a Vietnamese restaurant and eat a proper pho in a comfort warm environment.

Conclusion, great to western fools that like quick food and don't mind paying that bit extra for what they think is...
