Banh Mi Kitchen 越南法棍 — Restaurant in George Town

You can also eat authentic and delicious Vietnamese baguettes in Penang 🥖banh mi I heard from a friend that this Vietnamese baguette is the closest to what he ate in Vietnam! So I can't go to Vietnam to eat it, it's great to be able to eat it in Penang

Moreover, after coming here, I found out that there are many other Vietnamese dishes besides baguettes! The baguettes are freshly made every day, and the portions are very generous. You can really hear the crispy sound when you bite into it! Vietnamese Rice Paper Roll Series Great snack for summer! There are big whole 🦐 in the QQ fresh shrimp, and the chicken in the fish-flavored chicken is super tender. Refreshing and appetizing, each one also has a special dipping sauce And the boss specially launched the slimming rice paper rolls, which are full of vegetables, friends who want to lose weight or vegetarian, order this!

For snacks, I ordered crispy chicken strips and croquettes They are all freshly fried, and you can smell the aroma before serving them. They are crispy and crispy, and the meatballs are filled with pure meat. There are so many pieces, it's a bargain!

drinks: Vietnamese drip coffee with condensed milk Strawberry smoothie melts quickly, so drink it quickly. Frozen plum mint soda (recommended by the store manager! Really the best drink haha)

Salad 🥗: Mango lychee salad is very refreshing! An artifact to relieve tiredness!

And found that this store actually has Panna Cotta That’s panna cotta! Must try!...

The store is quite tiny and when I went there during lunch hour (around 12,1pm), there was no indoor seat left and only outdoor seats available that time (might need to call for reservation to secure for the seats before you go if you want to dine in… not sure can or not but I recommend to dine in … take away might reduces the wow of the food…eating on the spot is the best!😆). The atmosphere is comfortable and I enjoy the musics very much. I ordered a banh mi (A4 porky banh mi) and a drink (lychee lemongrass iced tea). Although I sat outdoors, I do not feel hot (they got switch on the fans and let the blinds down). The food tastes really good. The banh mi baguette is crispy outside and soft inside ( this is my first time knowing that a baguette can be this crispy and soft😍) not to mention that the meat is juicy and flavourful (thumbs up for the amount of the meat given …I order this banh mi because I think it has the most meat amongst the pictures in the menu for pork category 😂… I love it🤤 ). The vegetables inside the banh mi is very fresh and add extra texture to the banh mi. Definitely will come for the banh mi again and recommend this place to others. 👍🏻 The drink taste ok for me (sorry I cannot remember any details about it, my mind was occupied by...

Anyone who loves Vietnamese food knows there are 3 kinds of banh mi:

the not-so-good versions; the everyday kind that are tasty and satisfying; and those special sandwiches that are elevated versions, very high quality; the kind of banh mi you dream about.

Banh Mi Kitchen’s Signature Banh Mi is in the 3rd category. We ordered one to share between two people. The bread is PERFECT, with the delicate and crackly exterior that you rarely find outside Vietnam. The sandwich layers are also just right, which is important so that it can be packed full but still taste light and airy. They had the two kinds of pork in the Signature, marinated pork and cha lua. The flavors are authentic and delightful, and frankly, it was better than many banh mi sandwiches we had when we lived in Vietnam.

We also ordered the Vietnamese pork spring rolls, which are wonderful. I loved that they are served properly, with the lettuce & herbs for wrapping, and a tasty fish sauce for dipping.

We had already tried 4 other Vietnamese restaurants in George Town before we finally made it to Banh Mi Kitchen, and I wish we had gone here first—but now I can confidently say this is the best one. Do yourself a favor, don’t bother with the others, just head straight to...
