These guys do an awesome Crispy Pork Banh Mi. One of the best I've had within the area. Of course being closer to the CBD, the price is a bit more on the pricier side of your average Banh mi but it definitely is worth it.
I'm lucky enough to work nearby to Porkees and eat here all the time!
The noodle salads, bahn mi, pho, and spring rolls are all regulars and the best I've had in Brisbane.
Always fresh, and friendly service, can get busy at lunch time as it's very popular.
Delicious banh mi. Fresh ingredients and quick service. Can get busy at lunch times. The pho is westernised but ok. The curry is flavoursome.
This is everything you'd want out of a Vietnamese restaurant/cafe. Amazing food and even better service!Very highly recommend!! Go treat yourself!
While my partner was waiting for our drinks at Etto I walked over to Porkees to grab something to eat, walking by the door I was greeted by the friendly staff and it didn't take me long to order a vegetarian baguette and a spring roll (which the staff politely reminded me that it was not vegetarian).
To be honest I don't remember trying spring rolls that weren't vegetarian before so I might not have much to compare but these ones tasted really good, you could taste both the prawn and the pork while also enjoying the spices present, the only downside in my opinion is that the sweet chilli sauce provided was a bit overpowering and removed some of the subtle flavours present in it. I would rate it a 3.5 out of 5.
The vegetarian baguette was huge! I might not have been able to finish it if my partner hadn't helped me, the sauce made a perfect match with the tofu and the vegetables were fresh and crunchy! It seemed like a healthy and fulfilling meal. I would rate it a 4.5 out of 5.
Overall I would be happy to come back at anytime.
My partner & I ate at Porkees. We had the beef & porkee baguettes as well as 2 rice paper rolls. The baguettes were amazing! The meat was lovely & the buns so fresh. Will definitely be returning.
Brisbane's best banh mi!
After lots of research, we've decided that this really is the place to eat Brisbane's best banh mi. The delicious crispy roll, filled with lashings of freshly roasted pork, crunchy crackling, pickled carrot, salad, pate, home made mayonnaise and chilli to taste is unbeatable. Diana and her staff feed the hungry lunchtime workers with love and pride and you get change from $10 too!!

Vietnamese Street Food at its best
The food here is amazing – we were very impressed with everything we ordered and we've eaten a lot of Vietnamese food!! The broth in the beef pho was fragrant and tasty with nice medium rare slices of beef, just the right amount of noodles and vegetables. The banh mi was delicious with a beautiful crispy baguette, tasty mayonnaise and pate, generous serving of crunchy roast pork, and full of carrot, cucumber, coriander, and fresh hot chilli (optional). The pork and prawn spring rolls were good too. Even though the staff were run off their feet catering to the busy office lunch crowd, our food came out extremely quickly. I think that this place is a serious contender for Brisbane's best banh mi!!
I love going here for my lunch, always order the same thing Beef Pho which is so fresh and yummy, love how the broth soaks into all the ingredients and cooks it slowly so the beef isn't tough or over cooked. Owner is also very friendly and accommodating along with all the staff. Place is super busy with regulars that agree. Thanks guys! P.s I have now tried the Pork Vemicilli salad and it is absolutely delish! I ask for no bean sprouts :)
Yum to the curry, rice paper rolls and banh mi. Fabulous and cheap- it's a go to when I'm picking my partner up from work- love my sneaky Vietnamese. Did I mention the staff are awesome and so accommodating when I want both rice and a baguette for my curry- I'm sure they try not to laugh but what can I say- I live for carbs
Vietnamese chicken curry is A MA ZING! And the service is incredible! Super busy spot. I would recommend ordering via the phone is youre pressed for time.
Have long been a fan of Porkees. Always busy, and smells amazing!
I love their Pho, and a friend adores their curry. Today I had the special spicy beef soup and it was delicious - fragrant, lemongrassy, perfectly cooked noodles.
Ordered a porkee Banh Mi. Best Banh Mi I've had in QLD. Place was very busy due to the lunch crowd but they rushed out orders quickly so I didn't have to wait long. My sandwich was $9 so I don't know what the other reviewer was complaining about.
This was one of the best tofu ban mi I have ever had the spring rolls were amazing also.
Agree that there's a bit too much carrot on banh mi but enjoyable overall and not sure why the silly woman is complaining about price. It's $9 not $13.
The best Banh Mi in Brisbane, love the mushroom pate as a vegetarian substitute. Viet ice coffee is also top tier
