Earl's Sandwiches

One of the best things I’ve ever tried! Absolutely delicious, fresh, herby and spicy. I got the vegan mixed banh mi which had kimchi, tofu and hoisin mushroom. For £8.80 it’s amazing value for money as it’s hefty and filling! They made it extra spicy by adding more chillies and it was perfect. I also tried the vegan Vietnamese coffee however it didn’t taste any different to a normal iced coffee so I wouldn’t get that again. My feedback would be to cut the mushrooms and kimchi into smaller pieces as they’re hard to bite through, so you end up getting massive chunks of it in your mouth. Other than that, I will definitely be visiting again.

Huge baguette, a good interpretation of the Vietnamese classic. The pate was overpowering and I wish I would have had it without it. Vegetables could be better pickled to enhance the flavour but overall a nice experience.

Really cute place! I got the tofu banh mi with extra hoisin and sriracha and unfortunately it was just so dry and tasteless😭 there were massive chunks of cucumber which just washed away any flavour. The tofu needs waaaay more marination, more sauce and more flavour. Lovely servers though and it is a lovely atmosphere.

I got the pork bahn mi and was heavily disappointed. The bread was so dry and tough it was almost impossible to eat. The pork also tasted old? And had no flavor as if it was boiled. I was expecting better due to the reviews but this was one of the worst bahn mi’s I’ve ever had unfortunately.

As a Brightonian, I can’t believe I hadn’t stumbled upon this place before. I had the mixed meat and kimchi banh mi which was so generously sized and oozing with flavour. I washed this down with their Vietnamese iced coffee which is to die for. The price point is very reasonable too! Highly recommend for a quick and filling bite.

The best banh mi me and my boyfriend have ever tasted. Crispy bread, filled with our meat of choice and so much veg which made it feel so light and perfect for the hot weather today. I even asked for a lime and they put a little smile, a small thing but I loved it :)

Stumbled across Earl’s Sandwiches while wandering The Lanes and their Vietnamese pork bánh mì absolutely hit the spot. Crisp baguette, punchy flavours, and just the right kick of freshness, perfect fuel for exploring Brighton’s side streets.

I got this huge mixed vegan kimchi bành mí for £7.50! It has kimchi, maggi tofu, squash, aubergine, spinach, and edamame pâté. The vegan banh mi I’ve tried at other places has been so boring but this was scrumptious: so flavourful, a little spicy, crunchy. Perfect to have by the beach on a sunny day which is what we did. My partner got the pork char siu. The pork was so tender and juicy. Portions were huge so I had mine for breakfast and lunch, too! I will definitely be going back to try make my way through the entire menu! Edit: This is still my favourite place to grab a quick lunch! They make the best banh mi I’ve ever had!
