Banh Mi Nhu Lan

It is just OKAY. Their bun was not the banh mi kinda buns you are used to... their banh coun was good i enjoyed that. And their desserts are delicious. They are not horrible but always not the best.

Super disappointed in the bahn mi! I got the bbq chicken and there was barely any chicken in the sandwich. The flavour was really subtle, not used to that with banh mi. The fresh rolls were good though! This is probably my first and last visit though. Not a fan of the parking lot over here.

Got their assorted deli meat, the banh mi itself wasn’t as fluffy and fresh as expected. The veggies were fresh, but couldn’t really meats because it was overpowered by the veggies. It’s ok, not the best in the city.

Their banh mi are pretty good, loads of veggies and herbs, the liver paste and the ham tastes amazing. It's not too salty like other banh mi places at all. I would come back to try other things on the menu.

Love getting the banh mi here and the different assortments like che, banh cam, jelly, soy milk, etc. Everything is so freshly made and affordable!

It looks nice but when you bite into it you can taste that it's lacking something. Your usual banh mi usually has the butter/mayo on one side and pate on the other, but they're all lightly spread on one side and you can't taste it. it looks nicely packed but its mainly the pickled carrots that fill it. I dont think this is normal but the meat was really dry and one of the pieces were spoiled when I got through the middle so I had to throw it out. I hope this was just a one time unlucky occurrence because I really want to believe those 4.3 stars aren't just lies.

I ordered the original sandwich. (Bahn mi?) it was yum!! And Huge!! I did ask them to make it spicy but it wasnt spicy enough. Next time I go, ill be sure to ask for more spice!! The server was friendly, informative and helpful. I was introduced to many different Vietnamese style snacks that I will be trying next time!! Their rice paper rolls looked yum! Their sticky rice with pork did too. So did their daikon cake with egg. Will be trying all those!

I really enjoy their Banh Mi. Due to the traffic area the staff is really trying to get you in and out as quickly as possible. The service really depends on the person at the front. Had some bad experiences, but also had some amazing one's as well. Foods ready in less than 2 minutes once at the counter. Food is always good and consistent

Note: This is a cash only venue!! Like typical banh mi places/ Chinese bakeries... they close early! The one good thing about banh mi specialized stores is that they don't usually sell out half day like....tung hing. The prices here are really reasonable! Not the cheapest but definitely beats most downtime and North York places. Their banh mi are severed on 11 inches baguettes, and topped with whichever combination you chose from. Most of their banh mi are 5-6$. They also have an assortment of Vietnamese snacks and deserts. I got their meatball banh mi, and it was 5.25$! I loved everything but the baguette... it was not crispy enough. I will try to toast it myself next time at home, maybe that will do the trick.

Banh mi here they put light butter & pate. so make sure to ask for more if you're into that. the peppers here they use are so spicy I love it so much , the carrots were pretty fresh as well! the baguette was fresh not too flakey which i liked. Their banh mi area making not so clean tho. Take out and Cash only. The server was okay and got out of there fast! I highly recommend getting their baos..

Cash only. Banh mi was good but also doesn't stand out from the others in the area. Got the combo for $5.25. Bread was not toasted.

Stopped in for a quick bite while in the area for work. Tried the banh mi thap can (assorted cold cut) and a banh mi bi (shredded pork skin). Both came with pate carrot, cilantro, and cucumber. I ordered mine spicy. At just over $5 ea they were a good value and hit the spot. No seating inside so it's all to go. Wish they would do a char siu banh mi, I know it's not traditional Vietnamese thing but it's a nice fusion and they make it right next door.

This place was my go-to cheap lunch place when i worked around the Jane and Finch area. Recently passed by again so I went to pick up their assorted meat sub. Only $2.50 per sub. 1 is good enough to satisfy but being so cheap you might as well just get 2. They are still as delicious as i remember, but just this time the bread was a bit stale. Maybe a fluke, because all the times in the past this was the freshest vietnamese sub i ever had. So I still give this place 4 stars for taste and food quality. Tip, bring cash. I believe its cash only. There is an atm at the neighboring convenience store if you're in a pinch. No sit down either, its take out only and they have a ton of other vietnamese food items, which i haven't tried but they do look delicious. Maybe next time.

I live about a 5 minute walk from here and a 2 minute drive (literally!) but they sell one of the best Vietnamese subs "banh mi" I've ever tried in my entire life. My mom comes here A LOT and that's how I found out about it and now I come here sometimes with my boyfriend. They sell a lot of Vietnamese drinks and foods but I usually just come for the banh mi. I am Vietnamese so I do eat banh mi a lot and I love the banh mi thap cam "assorted meat" and it's one of the popular choices. It's also VERY AFFORDABLE, literally $3.25 for the assorted meat banh mi. They also sell Vietnamese iced coffee and I do get it sometimes but not the best I've tried. Still good but I prefer another place. They only accept cash (downside) and they close at 7pm (also a downside). But you cannot beat the banh mi here especially for the taste and the price. Their meat is also fresh and made to order. I SERIOUSLY LOVE THE BUTTEE AND PATE IN THE BANH MI! I had two today already (the day I wrote this review) lol.

I'm not Vietnamese but my friend is, and assures me the banh mi here is legit. The bread is softer than other places and the "stuffing" kinda scarce. This is the only place I know of that adds soy sauce or fried ginger & onions. Different... in a good way. I'd come back again if I was in the area.

I absolutely love Vietnamese sandwiches, and this place makes some of the best! The spicy one is my favorite :) The only cost $2.25 each sandwich, they are big and filling, plus they are loaded with lots of veggies. I defiantly recommend this place!

2017-09-04. I've been coming here for years for the Banh Mi. Sadly, I must say that I've sunken with the ship and it's time for me to swim to shore; the only problem is that there's no shore for miles and miles... I remember when prices were just $1. Then it went up to $1.25, then $1.50 shortly after. The increase moved rapidly as inflation and wages both rose. Pretty soon we were at $2.00, then $2.50, and now $3.25. Grant it, it's been over a decade, and it's understandable. What's not understandable is the double whammy. While prices rose steadily, quality also degraded. Fewer slices of meats, thinner slices of meat, the elimination of the pickled daikon radish, less pate, and the list goes on. It's at a point now whereby you order the extra meat for $1, and you pretty much get the Banh Mi you paid $1 and $2 for back in the day. The Vietnamese bread is my absolute favourite, it's a take on the French Baguette, but I like it much more. A thin, crisp outer crust with a super soft inner. It's great with soups, sandwiches, stews, or simply toasted with some garlic butter and cheese. But sadly, the sandwich itself has degraded to the point where it's way off proportion-wise. The ratio of vegetables, to meat, to starch is not even close to any kind of balance. The dryness from the bread is way to prominent in every bite. The pickled carrots provide moisture, but it's tartness overpowers the proteins. The taste of the pate fades as you move on down the sandwich (or up depending on which end you eat first). All sad signs that the ship has sunk. The increase in price in conjunction with the decrease in quality is just to big a double whammy IMO. There are places not too far from here in every direction except north, I'll just have to start giving them a try. 2 stars. If you would like to experience more, come dine-with-me.yelp.com I'd love to have your company... Bon Appétit!

I came here since I was passing by and I wanted to pick up a banh mi. I generally visit another mainstream chain for banh mi, but since this was closeby, I decided to give this local joint a try. I ordered the assorted banh mi and it was made quickly. The shop have other vietnamese foods that are prepared already. When I opened the banh mi, I realized there wasn't much filling. Although they give you 4-5 pieces of deli meats like other joints, the slices here are a lot smaller. The banh mi isn't bad, but for $3.25 (which is comparable to other joints), I expected the quantity to be similar to other joints. I felt like there wasn't much stuffing and they can definitely cut bigger slices. I probably won't return since I wasn't satisfied with the portion.

Bad customer service. The ladies seem so rude and look down on people. The 6 small buns costs $12.00... not worth the try.

Legitimate Banh Mi that satisfies a craving. I'm not Vietnamese, but I've had enough experience with these delicious sandwiches that I can recognize what's authentic. For an example, they use pate, vietnamese ham, cilantro, and add spicy with green chiles. However, I love daikon in my sub but they only have the carrot pickle. Subs are a little smaller than a footlong, a little larger than the regular banh mi. However, the filling is on the scanty side, although that's not too surprising when most of the subs are $3. They also have buns, snacks, drinks (not sure what exactly, and salad rolls. I love salad rolls, and these were good and FRESH. Made with mint (so important for salad rolls!) and the wrapper was still soft. I got 3 for $4, with a bbq pork filling as well as shrimp.

Don't let the storefront keep you away!!! Walk inside and get the best sandwich & assorted Vietnamese appetizers... Love the friendly / family staff, they cater to your requests and make everything from scratch in the back kitchen. Cant wait to be back.

Best Vietnamse 'bánh mì" in North York area. Bánh mì and all ingredients are fresh, prepared on the spot, in this nice little store. My fav bánh mì gà; thâp câm also a popular choice. Very reasonable price. Not to mention very sweet and friendly staff. Highly recommend.!!!!!!!!!! Yummmyyyy bánh mì!!!!!!!

My favorite banh mi place, their banh mi's and bao's are on point!! Very authentic and great service!

This is definitely my favorite banh mi place to go :) The food there is delicious and the staff members are always so helping and kind. Prices are also very reasonable. 11/10 would recommend!!

The shop is kind of small and there isn't really much room to explore or walk around. They sell drinks, vietnamese deserts and vietnamese subs. The subs use to be cheaper but they got like $1 something more expensive. The subs taste pretty good and I like to put some soy sauce in as well. I'm not sure if they have a vegetarian sub but for those allergic to nuts, its probably not safe to eat here because some of the desserts have nuts in them so there might have been some cross contamination. The price is kinda expensive I think because I know how much it was back then. It under $5 right now but still I wouldn't want to buy it anymore unless they lower the price back to its original price. The banana desert is pretty good. It on par I think with my moms which is authentic because she grew up in Vietnam as well. As gor the drinks, there are some vietnamese drinks and pop like Sprite. The drinks are cold because they are in some like refrigerator and I'm not sure about the price because I never really buy them. The lady there can speak viet but I'm not sure if she is good with english because my mom orders in viet.

This place has the best Banh Mi and Vietnamese desserts in the area! Their specialty is Banh Bao (steam pork bun)! Seriously can't leave the place without picking up 5 of these at a time. Also they have lots of authentic Vietnamese drinks, which I love. Everything is made fresh in the back and the staff are super friendly. It's a must go if you're in the area!
