Banh Mi Saigon

Date Visited: May 2 2015 – the last day of the grand opening special of 20% off food!

What I ate:

Cold Cut

• 8/10

• This was my favourite out of all of them

• Good amount of flavour from the fat from the cold cuts – the fat melted in my mouth which added umaminess

• Good ratio of filling to bread

Special

• 7/10

• There was a lot of filling in this one but I thought it was a bit overwhelming

• Nothing really stood out for me in this sandwich, there was a good amount of meatball and mayonnaise though

Bacon

• 7.5/10

• This one is similar to the cold cut but with the addition of bacon

• It’s not as flavourful as the cold cut and also had a fair amount of mayo

Iced Coffee with condensed milk

• 7/10

• Very strong like the typical Vietnamese coffee you get anywhere

• I liked that the ice was broken up and not big huge chunks of ice

• Good amount of condensed milk

Address: 5397 Victoria Dr Vancouver, BC V5P3V6

Type of Restaurant: Sandwiches, Vietnamese, coffee

Price Range: $

Recommended: Cold Cut

Overall: 7.5/10

Will come back? Maybe if I’m in the area

Things to Improve on: If customers are eating it in-store, it would be nice if the bun was heated because when I went to heat it up at home the bread tasted much better than when it was cold

Summary: Banh Mi Saigon make their bread in house and it’s very fresh, but I still prefer the bread that they use at Au Petite Café because it’s lighter and crispier. I do enjoy the fillings a lot at Banh Mi Saigon and my favourite sandwich is the cold cut. The lines were long the day I went, which was a Saturday, and it took around 20 minutes to get it. I would go back for the fillings.
