Banh Mi Givral Deli — Restaurant in Kitchener

Still delicious! Prices have gone up but still a good deal. Tried the fresh rolls this time and they were great too, but the buns rule!

PREVIOUS: Amazing! You know it's an authentic banh mi Vietnamese sandwich shop when they have advertisements for income tax services posted in the window. Definitely a hole in the wall, but that's also where the beauty lies. Just a simple take out stripped down menu at unbeatable prices.
