Banh Mi Sandwich — Restaurant in Tokyo

Best Banh Mi in Tokyo. Bread is soft, meat and veggies are plentiful, and the price is reasonable. Lots of choices from chicken to pork to shrimp to veggie & cheese...in addition to the traditional Vietnamese ham & liver pate. Make sure you ask for the "ama-kara" (sweet and spicy) sauce when you order. During the summer, they sometimes offer spring rolls and bun noodles, which are also quite tasty. Be ready to wait a bit if you arrive between 12 and 1 in the afternoon. There is a bench out front where you can eat, but for the most part, be ready to take your sammiches somewhere else. You'll need to buy tickets for the sandwiches at a machine right inside the door and hand them to the kind old lady at the counter who will exchange them for a number that she'll call out when your food is ready.

Pork, chicken, beef, ham and lever, shrimp are the choices. Just a little away from the main street, not to be missed if you happen to be hungry around there. I recommend the pork sandwich over...

This place was not bad. The BREAD was not like typical baguettes in Vietnam. I have eaten Banh Mi all over the world, including in Ho Chi Minh City. This shop the bread reminded me of grocery store bread and not that special at all. The shop is too small. They have a ticket ordering system inside the shop, in the same place to pick up your sandwiches. Weird they do not use their outside window for pick up.

My sandwich.....had roasted pork instead of Ham. The meat did not taste like authentic Vietnamese style lunch meats. I was a bit disappointed traveling 2 hours for this.

Over all...it was just OK and will do if you cannot make them on your own. I cannot find any good Banh Mi in...
