Banh Mi 25

Bánh Mì 25 - The Essential Hanoi Stop! This is, hands down, the best Bánh Mì I've ever had. Do not miss it! CRITICAL NOTE: This is an ALL-CASH ONLY spot, so be sure to have local currency ready before you line up! It's absolutely worth the effort. I ordered the classic, and the sandwich was incredible. The bun was perfectly crispy and so fulfilling—it made the entire experience. The taste was amazing; everything tasted fresh and perfectly balanced. The atmosphere is great (I'd give it a solid 4 stars), and the staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, even when they are busy. A heads-up: Be ready to grab your food and go, as it is hard to find seating! The place is popular for a reason! Truly an authentic and must-try experience in Hanoi.

🥬 For Vegetarians: The tofu & veggie banh mi is packed with marinated tofu, crunchy pickles, fresh herbs, and soft–crispy bread. The veg/vegan options are clearly labeled, making ordering super easy for travelers. Pair it with a fresh smoothie and you’re set. 🥩 For Non-Veg Fans: From grilled pork and chicken to egg-and-meat combos, the fillings are flavorful, juicy, and authentically Vietnamese. The bread has that perfect crackly crust with a soft inside—exactly what a banh mi should be. ⏳ Queue Alert: Yes, there is a line—almost always. It’s busy, touristy, and buzzing. But the service moves fast, and the food comes out fresh, so the wait actually feels worth it. 🏠 Vibe & Value: Street-style, casual seating, takeaway options, and friendly staff. And with most sandwiches under $2–$3, it’s unbeatable value for the quality. ✅ Bottom Line: Whether you’re veg or non-veg, Banh Mi 25 is a reliable, flavorful stop that lives up to the hype. Big taste, small price, fun atmosphere—a must-visit in Hanoi. 🔥🌯

Popular restaurant for Bánh mì and it is! So long queue to order in weekend so better visit weeday. The staff are kind adorable and experienced. quite quick but clear explanation and easy to decide the order. taste really good, crunchy but juicy! The tables and seats are mostly occupied. That was negative impression. Overall, worth a visit.

Bánh Mì 25 is one of the most popular spots in Hanoi for a reason. The bánh mì is fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced — crispy baguette, generous fillings, and delicious sauces. Every bite is satisfying. The place is always busy, but service is quick and efficient. It’s affordable, tasty, and a must-try if you want an authentic Vietnamese street food experience. If you’re in Hanoi, don’t miss it!

Very overhyped. Personally, I must not be too used to Vietnamese Banh Mi in Vietnam. I prefer the ones that are found in Australia and even Singapore which has been catered to local tastes. Bread was crispy, pork belly was juicy and other ingredients was fresh. Ordering was efficient. Queue up, order and pay, find a table and seats opposite the stall. Write anything on the sticker from the wrapper and paste it within the shop. They only accept cash.

This was our first bánh mì stop in Hanoi right after dropping our bags at the hotel. We ordered two kinds — pork and chicken. The pork was good, but the chicken was noticeably better: juicier, more flavorful, and with a subtle hint reminiscent of Taiwanese sausage. Overall, the bánh mì was satisfying, but we didn’t find a big difference compared to Bánh Mì Kitchen, which is our go-to back home. Given the hype and high ratings, we personally didn’t find it as distinctive as expected. Some sidewalk vendors we tried later were even better, with more generous pickled radish, carrots, and greens. Service was fast and efficient — likely because we came early around 7am. We were seated easily as a group of three. A decent and convenient first Hanoi bánh mì, but not the standout we expected.

Banh Mi 25 is easily one of my favourite food places in Hanoi. The avocado banh mi is amazing and pairs perfectly with their coconut coffee — hands down the best I’ve tried here. I visited multiple times during my stay because the food was that good. I recommend going early for breakfast on weekends to skip the crowds, but even when the line is long, service is fast and organised. Also, definitely ask for extra chicken and extra spicy for the best flavours. Highly recommended!

I think this is the best banh mi place in Hanoi. Extremely popular and very efficient. They have restaurant and a take away stall across the road. 4 vegetarian options, all very nice. The only aspect I would recommend to them is to enhance the flavors through more use of spices and greens.
