There are very good reasons why there is often a line out the door for the N. Lee Bakery in South Melbourne, and the fabulous Banh Mi are one of them. With the freshest of ingredients and friendly service, regulars will queue quite happy for one of these beauties.
I ordered a spicy pork belly banh mi and my five minute wait was so worth it. The baguette was fresh and crunchy, the salad was crispy and the pork was sweet and tender. I particularly love the cucumber and shredded carrot,and the coriander adds a lovely flavour.
The staff are always so lovely, and despite the fact that they get quite busy, are always smiling and happy. Getting a banh mi or sweet treat from N. Lee Bakery is one of life's simple pleasures that doesn't cost a lot, but really does make you happy.
I really enjoy this place a lot, not only is the food incredible (even I only have the bacon and egg roll with bbq sauce, ) there is a really authentic warmth to their service . I have no reason to try another place :)
N Lee are our favourite Bahn Mi rolls in Melbourne. The Collingwood store is still the best and a little cheaper but this is great too. everything so fresh!!
What lunch can you possibly get for under 10 bucks?
Yummy patty, fresh filling, the chili gives your tastebud a ride! The BBQ PORK banh mi is my all time favourite. If you love something special, visit on Friday they have crispy pork banh mi and people always line up for it. Super affordable lunch.
Usually hit up Collingwood but have been coming to south Melbourne more often and had to check it out. Best banh mi in Melbourne. Always consistent, not to expensive either. Grilled pork everyday 👌
Not cheap, and probably it's better for the consumers if they have more competitors. However their banh mi is good. Slightly smaller than the usual banh mi but the bread is super nice. I had grilled chicken banh mi on the last visit and I totally enjoyed it. The chilli was nice too, thumbs up
I ordered the pork meatball Banh Mi with extra coriander and fresh chilli. The chill is here are good hot ones done careful. The meatballs were juicy and soft. This place is one of the better Banh Mi shops in Melbourne.
Needing a quick refuel, I’m grateful to have stumbled upon N. Lee Bakery. I’m always down for a good Bahn Mi but often find them to be disappointing; not today!
It’s tempting filling of hot, fresh chicken breast packed together with crisp and flavoursome veggies layered upon a beautiful paté all encased in a light, crunchy yet oh so soft roll. Needing to finish with something sweet I chose their Nutella filled dounut, fluffy and filled with chocolate hazelnut goodness. My taste buds are still in love.
Best Bahn Mi I’ve ever tasted hands down. N. Lee in South Melbourne is small and unassuming but delivers on quality. With a little people watching whilst eating my lunch it’s easy to see why N.Lee is popular stop for lunch.
Really great tasty banh mis. Grilled pork is my favourite, but can also order simple salad rolls with your choice of fillings. Coffee is also pretty good and love their Nutella donuts! Really friendly staff as well.
Nice joint to have a lunch quick fix. Several selections of Vietnamese or traditional sandwiches. Probably not as tasty as other Vietnamese Bakery joints, but it felt light and clean. Had the Pork Loaf Banh Mi, crisp and yum.
Favourite vit place for a quick lunch😤 food? Amazing. Staff? Wonderful . Vibes? Astronomical 😌😌 try their banh mi 😜
Probably the best banh mi in Melbourne, bread is baked fresh in house and is so good. Decent prices. Well worth the long queue at lunchtime.
Best banh mi in town! Spring rolls are amazing too. Be sure to try the crackling pork on Fridays.
Good stuff for a good price, fresh and hits the spot for a quick bite.
This place has the best Banh Mi in South Melbourne. The staff are super friendly, service is quick and the vietnamese iced coffees are a must try! The line starts to form at about 12pm as all the offices around break out for lunch, but it moves quite quickly. If you're not sure what to try first, I highly recommend the grilled pork.
