Very good, fresh bread fresh fillings and generous. The only problem is that they touch money with the gloves they use to touch the food. Very unhygienic.

Grabbing Banh Mi at Nhu Lan after copping some Cannolis from T Cavallaro next door is a validated one-two combo in Footscray. You just can't go wrong with that.
You know it's real when you see a queue of Asians waiting outside to grab a banh mi DURING COVID. They are literally risking their lives just to have some sandwiches. Mad respect. Glad to see some like-minded people who got their priorities straight.
Oh and their run-down menu. Just pure alpha, asserting its dominance. Got nothing else on it but Banh Mi. "This is what we have. If you don't like it, screw off" type of confidence. I like that - No frills, No BS, No distractions. Just keeping it classic. For $5.5 Banh Mi, you really shouldn't expect service. Low key I enjoyed the indifferent dispassionate attitude of the ladies working there because you know they've been working all day pumping out these delicious bad boys.
I ended up grabbing their BBQ Pork Rolls because that just looked most authentic. Now, I am not Vietnamese and haven't had enough Banh Mis to tell you what's good or bad but here are some notable pointers. (1) Bread was crunchy but also fluffy inside. Banh Mis I had elsewhere always scraped against my palate but not this one. (2) Their BBQ Pork tasted very different in a good way. Maybe it was slightly cured? I don't know but I am assuming that's how the authentic BBQ Pork roll's supposed to taste like. Definitely wish I grabbed more than one as I devoured it as soon as I got inside the car. You know I'll be back soon enough.
Banh mi are very fantastic and super yummy. The best bakery in Melbourne, fresh, good quality abnd authentic Vietnamese but still good prices. I love the taste of bread đ„, crispy and also egg mayonnaise, s mell in my mouth, fresh bbq meat or even vegetarian tofu, a bit sour of carrots, coriander...totally make perfect rolls. I have tried many bakery in Melbourne, this bakery is my favourite. !!! Highly recommend.
Staffs are friendly even busy time. Spending time for line up but their service is very fast, save my time, safe for everybody.
Thanks for opening this hard time.
