"Bánh Mì Hội-An is a tiny Vietnamese cafe 30 seconds from Hackney Central that makes big, extremely satisfying bánh mì. There are a few stools but it’s predominantly takeaway only, and whichever option you go for, you’ll find that the char siu is sweet, the pork belly chunky, and the bread is the perfect equilibrium between soft, chewy, crisp, and flaky. The noodle salads and phở are perfectly decent, but it’s the bánh mì you should be focused on." - jake missing, sinead cranna, daisy meager
"What is the best bacon and egg sandwich in London? Regency? Pellicci? St John? No. It’s the no 8 special (extra spicy) at Banh Mi Hoi An, located on a side street near Hackney Central. Not a single banh mi stall in London quite nails the the optimal lightness of the baguette, but Hoi An’s is soft, crisp, well toasted, and weapon-ready vast. The Hoi An special has both sweet char siu and thinly sliced pork belly, with little pockets of wobbly omelette coddling the meat; pickles cut through the richness in the manner of a sharp brown sauce. Aside from the egg and bacon, the beef ball curry banh mi is excellent when the chef has it on — needless to say, with the lack of any competition, it’s also the best meatball sub in this city." - Jennifer Trak

"A sandwich counter that opened in 2016 on St-Laurent at Pins and was headed up by Julie Bisson (partner of Big in Japan owner André Nguyen); it was noted as a rather expensive option for what is typically a cheap eat, with banh mis going up to $12 (prices were later brought down), but that apparently wasn’t enough to save it and the St-Laurent at Pins location has gone out of business." - Tim Forster
