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.
Consistent and delicious! Always will go back here.
The place to be when youâre after a banh mi in Footscray! This place is usually busy and they have amazing banh mi available. The bbq pork and tofu banh mi are my favourites
Made fresh to order and they also have bread rolls for sale. Love how its always fresh when i get them.
Great place to get a Vietnamese bread roll- in and out! The meatball one is the best.
Fresh and crispy bread rolls with delicious and fresh fillings.
The BBQ pork banh mi was perfectly made and the pork was great.
Definitely recommend for banh mi
Our score 4.75 stars (average of 2 reviews & many visits). Got another Salad banh mi and a PatĂ© chaud (Pork puff) on Thu 15th Aug. Â
Really enjoying the P Puffs now Iâve discovered them â very tasty innards, with a nice pastry case (photo now included).Â
BMâs are great as ever. Decent sized white bun, crispy on outside and soft inside - beautiful crunchy textures in the generous filling! Some of the really fresh and flavoursome ingredients are: Cucumber, Pickled carrot, etc, Coriander, Spring O, Spicy red chillies, Fried shallots (yummy) and Crunchy roasted peanuts (double yummy â possibly my fav bit). I also have patĂ© in my BM - OMG the best $3.80 ($ for $) I have ever spent on food in my life!Â
J always has a Tofu and salad BM (slightly more expensive) - which she loves. Women who serve are great â time in the queue varies every time we visit (luck of the draw, but itâs never really long). With warmer weather coming up, weâll be getting into these more often!
Have been coming here for the better part of 4 years. As a student who strapped for cash they are a good place for a filling brekkie or lunch. They are incredibly quick with service getting people in and out. Always smells amazong when you walk in. I recommend the grilled chicken and viet ice coffee.
If youâve ever been to Nhu Lan, youâd refuse to ever spend more than $10 for some sub par Vietnamese bread roll at a non authentic place.
This place is the only reason I stop at Footscray.
Supposedly has the best banh mi in Melbourne⊠As a visitor I wouldnât know⊠BUT I can say that their banh mi are pretty damn good, with a great selection of fillings. I got one roast pork, and one bbq pork to share.
Super busy store, we arrived around 10:30 in the morning and there already lines up at the store. Ordered a bbq pork banh, the sauce is quite savoury and pork is tender.
Try to arrive early as there are always lot of customers lining up đ
The Banh Mi is famous in and amongst Melbourne foodies and there is usually a massive line just to get into the bakery so it's well worth a visit.
We got here on a rainy day in COVID lockdown so there were only 4 people a head of us. BBQ Pork Roll & Crackling Pork Roll were great and the baguette was exceptional. The rolls for Banh Mi were small but the price is cheaper too, of you're really hungry but 2. Overall my usual Banh Mi joint beats the overall quality (taste) and size (message me for details if interested) but this place was very, very good too especially the bread which I would definitely go back for. Staff are very kind and friendly as you would know from the lovely Asian community...
Great banh mi from this local bakery. A range of fillings from chicken, tofu, ham, BBQ pork, crackling roast pork, and shredded pork. The heart of a good banh mi is all about the bread - and this places makes the best in town. There's the option to buy and take fresh bread home (tiger rolls, baguettes etc) if you're after something soft and fluffy in the inside and nice crisp on the outside. Depending on the time of the day you may have to wait in line - which can be up to 30 mins during peak periods. They even have dessert sorted with mungbean cake, durian and other sweets that you can indulge in.
Consider this as a best cheap eats place in Footscray and this place get seriously busy with queue outside after 10 in the morning.
A popular Vietnamese bakery in Footscray. The staff are pretty friendly and they offer items. I had the crackling pork banh mi which was not bad but nothing special. Overall check it out if youâre in the area.
