Banh Mi Boys — Restaurant in Toronto

Let me start off by saying I am a long time, regular customer of Banh Mi Boys. I've introduced many of my friends to eat here as well because I normally really enjoy the service and food here.

The service here usually is very good. For a place that normally gets very heavy traffic the employees are usually patient and at the very least polite. Because it is usually so busy I can even understand if the service is a little subpar. However, what happened to me today was beyond unacceptable.

I can honestly say this was the worst service I have experience to date. I always have an order of kimchi fries wherever I go here and the fries I got today were downright burnt. I thought perhaps this batch of fries was just left in the fryer too long and asked the cashier if he could remake it for me. At this point I was not particularly upset, I can understand a couple of bad batches happening from time to time, but what happened afterward is what caused this to be a truly horrible experience.

The cashier’s name was Don. Don bluntly refused to consider remaking my kimchi fries, proceeded to argue with me that the fries were not burnt and the fries are in fact supposed to be that colour (dark brown with some fries on the verge of being black). I told him I was the one that was eating the fries and I could taste the burntness of it. If he tried the fries, he would taste it as well. He said he is will not taste it (which I understand, since I've taken a bite out of it) but, what he said afterwards was most shocking. He actually said, "Would you like me to vomit on your fries and then give it back to you because that's what's going to happen if I taste your fries."

Seeing that Don will refuse to remake it for me, I asked for a refund. He told me that he refuses to give me a refund because he believed there was nothing wrong with the fries. I asked to speak with the manager and he told me he's the manager of the place in which I highly doubt considering the nasty service. When I asked to speak with the owner of the place, he simply just gave me the store number and told me to call the store when the owner is in. When I asked him when will the owner be in, he said he “doesn't know”.

I understand that this is most likely an isolated incident and I do really enjoy the food and the regular service there. However, the thought of having a repeat of that experience makes me hard pressed to eat there again, never mind recommending or bringing friends there again. As a student going to Bahn Mi Boys for some good (and more importantly affordable) food was part of very nice routine I had going, which makes this experience particularly upsetting for me. I won’t want to consider going back after a long day of classes and studying anymore, I won’t want to go...

Awesome Asian Fusion Fast Food place! Very good service and of course very good food there

Even though there is a small amount of food on the menu, the taste and the amount given is amazing!

Best of all! It's in Toronto! I love going there and experiencing all of food in he city and every corner you go to there is always something different.

But what I recommend is the pork belly baos. First time I ever had pork belly there and at first when I thought of pork belly, I thought of the food being really fatty, so I tend to avoid pork even though it is pretty awesome. When I first had the five spice pork belly Bao, it was amazing! It wasn't fatty at all and it was like pulled pork when you bite into it. Very savoury and I can identify all the items inside the Bao, from the sauce to the pickled daikon and carrots. It's phenomenal!

Second favourite is the Banh Mi. I first asked for the pulled pork Bao at the beginning but there was a communication error that happened between the clerk and I but it wasn't a bad move! The Pulled pork Banh Mi was equally amazing just like the Bao but bigger and with a baguette! (I love Baguettes!) After getting my sandwich, I went out and ate upstairs in the barbershop above to watch some Fresh Prince of Belair lol. But the food was amazing never the less and I would continue to go there every time...
