In this article, I’ve hinted at some of the best Banh Mi in Saigon. I hope you find your favorite soon!
It has been a while since I had some. I remember the first time I tried it, I honestly didn’t like it but I think it was because of what was in it and the fact that it was of lower quality. The second try, I loved it!
I am a fiend for banh mi. I’m not picky about what kind of meat it has in it, or even if it has meat at all. I just always want pate on there. I think the pate is what makes it delicious. It’s like, without that, you get a sandwich with the right bread and accouterments, but the pate is what makes it a banh mi.
This is a good guide. Are there any more like this for other food options? I don’t often eat this dish. I like it but I prefer other things more.
I’m not a fan of Banhmi but Banhmi Huynh Hoa is the number one that I’ve heard
Mmmm, banh mi!! I have not had it in so long. Nowhere around here does it. I likely won’t be able to have it again until I am in Vietnam!
You know what’s not so great? Not having banh mi when you really want it.
I have not had banh mi in a long time now, but after looking at these photos, I’m getting a real craving for it.
