Bánh Mì Phượng

Being a huge Banh Mi fan, I made it my mission to find the best one in Hoi An. The top contenders, of course, were Banh Mi Phuong and Madame Khanh (The Banh Mi Queen). We started with Banh Mi Phuong, it’s the one that Anthony Bourdain famously loved, so expectations were high! Both places have indoor seating, which is great since you can actually sit down and enjoy your sandwich comfortably. I ordered a pork and a chicken banh mi to compare fairly. Unfortunately, the chicken banh mi at Phuong’s was quite a letdown; the meat was dry, the filling wasn’t generous, and the pâté didn’t have much punch. The pork version was better and had more flavor, but the bread could’ve been fresher. Overall, it just didn’t live up to the hype. Next stop: Madame Khanh, and wow, what a difference! I ordered the exact same sandwiches, and this time I was blown away. Both were packed with ingredients, full of flavor, and the pâté… OMG 😲 unreal! The BBQ pork was my absolute favorite, but honestly, I’d order both again in a heartbeat. So yeah, for me, Banh Mi Phuong sadly lost this round. Maybe it’s not quite what it used to be back in Bourdain’s day. Hats off to The Queen 👑 she completely lives up to her title! 🥖

The sandwiches they serve here are really good. I was skeptical at first but the ingredients they use are not of cheap quality processed meat but have whole chunks of meat as well as their homemade pate. I've ordered the sandwich with chicken and cheese and grilled pork with pate. Both were great and couldn't really tell which I preferred more (make sure to add their own chilli sauce). Avocado smoothie was perfect. The salt coffee was good too but a little bit too sweet for my taste. Overall pretty good value for the price paid. This place is clean and most times of the day full of customers.

Both the kids and I were on the mission to taste the best banh mis Da Nang has to offer. The best recommendations always come from the locals, this shop was a recommended by our driver/guide. It did not disappoint! The baguette was warm and had a crusty shell but soft interior. I think the portioning of the ingredients and spices were on point. They asked upon ordering if we wanted them spicy which was a plus. We liked it so much we went back the next day and ordered 5 more.

Located in the Old Town Hoi An. The restaurant is very popular and long queues, but it is worth it! The queues is endless, but the staff does an excellent job managing the orders. The baguette is fresh with the right balance of crunch and chewy. The sauce is delicious and well seasoned, family secret and the filling of meats and pork are amazing. The price is reasonable. The best Banh Mi.

Best Banh mi I’ve had in Hoi An. It definitely lives up to all the hype and the price is amazing. The best part or what made them so amazing is the quality of the pate. You can tell it’s heavily seasoned and has been cooked twice which I haven’t seen in many Banh mi restaurants. It’s definitely what makes it taste so good. The bread is very light and crunchy it holds the sandwich together well. The ingredients are all very fresh and the turn over of ingredients is so quick. There are 5 chefs working to assemble the sandwiches at all times. There is an inside seated area if you want to get off the street or out of the heat/rain. The hardest part is dealing with the Instagram/tourists who aren’t sure how or where to order or wait for their food. I came back here 3 times and tried two everytime. One isnt enough try two at a time it’s a good amount to be full but not bloat yourself as one just makes you want another one.

Good Banh mi in the city center. They have many options but to my taste the pate is one of the best I’ve had. The place is small and often packed with tourists, so I recommend getting your food to go and enjoying it in the square across the street.

Ordered no.7 (omelette) but was a fried egg not an “omelette” (what I’d expect to be whipped egg yolk & white mixed up) and could’ve done w way more veg filling. Bread was fresh and crispy though so points for that. Ordered avo choc smoothie but got avo coconut instead (possible miscommunication but still yum! Very creamy and fresh). Overall not the best not the worst banh mi.

We visited this place for all the hype on social media and the food didn’t disappoint us. Banh mi - a baguette with Pâté and other fillings. A staple in vietnam , the food introduced by french! The price is very reasonable compared to the ones you get at restaurants. There can be wait if you come during lunch and dinner hours. We were there around 3.50pm so got a table without much wait. The place is not that clean with bread crumbs found on floor because of the customers and the staff got no time to clean it with the place being super busy. Don’t except the place to super hygienic. If you are a foodie you must eat here or you can take away the banh mi too. But we had to eat here along with the amazing avocado shake they serve! Ordered grilled chicken with cheese and the grilled pork one. The Pâté is so tasty that I fell in love with the taste of it. Bread is crispy from outside and soft inside. Also ordered mango smoothie and avocado coconut smoothie. Must try avocado coconut smoothie here. Loved pork banh mi better than the chicken one. Chilli oil was yumm and we poured lot of chilli oil to our banh mi to make it spicier. Service was quick. This place serves the best banh mi. And much better than banh mi queen where they make mostly for foreigners’ taste buds (bland, non-spicy, no chilli oil unless you ask)
