Bánh Mì Hồng Hoa

​If you are looking for the perfect Vietnamese sandwich experience, look no further. We loved this place so much we actually came back two days in a row. ​The Food & Drink ​The Bread: They bake it in-house, and you can tell. It is perfectly crispy on the outside while remaining light and airy inside. ​The Picks: The #1 Special is a masterclass in balance, and the BBQ Pork is incredibly flavorful and tender. ​Drinks: Don’t skip the drinks! The coffee is strong and authentic, and the smoothies are fresh and refreshing. ​The Atmosphere ​Despite being a busy spot, the customer service is great and friendly. It’s very affordable, making it a perfect daily stop. There are plenty of plastic tables and chairs across the street where you can sit down, soak in the Saigon energy, and enjoy your meal like a local. ​Verdict: Fresh, affordable, and delicious. An absolute 10/10!

My fave banh mi spot in Saigon in district 1 area! I came here 2 times and Grab ordered 2 times to my hotel. Far more choices than the famous Banh Mi Huynh Hoa (there’s only 1 option). I really recommend to try the “crispy pork”, “grilled pork” or “xiu mai (pork meatball)”. The “dac biet (special)” was also good but I only recommend this one if you like liver paté. They have 2 sizes but the small option (about 45k vnd) was good for me. It is richly filled! Try it with the “sinh to mang cau (soursop smoothie)” it tastes like a pear sorbet drink! The peach tea was also really nice but ask them to put less sugar in it because it was too sweet.

This was my first time having Bánh Mi and I enjoyed it! I had the mixed meat combo as that was recommended. The bread was super crisp and flaky with a decent amount of meat inside. If you’re not a lover of pate/sausage then I’d try something else on the menu. Taste wise, the only thing that was lacking for me were the pickles, it needed the tangy sourness to bring it all together. The mango smoothie was thick, sweet and refreshing, perfect for the humid climate. I’d definitely go back if I have time to try the roast pork Bánh Mi as I think it’d be more up my street. Note: this is more of a takeaway spot but there are a couple of deck chairs and small tables out front

Perfect for voracious eaters like me on a budget and want banh mi to fulfill that. Ordered both the regular and biggie meatball-focused one and didn't disappoint. I'd like to point out I got there 10 minutes before closing time but the head momma accommodated me for my takeout order. All in all, so far so good. Cute cat guarding the floor taking a break, too

I went here three times. Twice in the same day. It was my first banh mi and my last of the trip. First off. They are cheap, big, and they don’t skimp. Every time I got the traditional number one with the cold cuts, veggies, liver pate etc. I loved every single bite. The bread is so fresh not matter the time of day you go. It was the best banh mi I had in all of Vietnam. You can eat on the curb or carry out. We did both. They are kind and patient. This was by far my favorite food experience while in Vietnam. Don’t miss it!

Service was fast…food was ok, but not great vegetarian options. I got the vegetarian banh mi thinking it would be all veggies and it was all noodles and tofu with no sauce. I ordered again the omelette banh mi and it was really tasty. They want to get you in and out due to limited seating. Beer was ICE cold! I think this place has a lot of hype from foreigners leaving reviews. It was good but not the best and they didn’t add any mayo which is a deal breaker for me personally.

Great food, sitting on low chairs watching traffic and people go by. We had the roast pork banh mi, the banh bao and 2 iced coffees - all were great and would be one of our goto banh mi spots. Servings can be quite large so if you’re extra hungry, get 2 of the large ones or split one large or 2 small.

The most delicious banh mi I’ve ever had. The pate was yummy and generously spread. The bread was perfectly crispy. I wish I could go back to Vietnam just to have more from here. I enjoyed having a sandwich to myself while sitting on the sidewalk!
