Best (Vietnamese), or for that matter sub-sandwiches in town at a bargain price!!! People who run the bakery are very friendly and the bread is baked fresh on prem!!!
Best pork and chicken rolls in da bizz
This bread shop bakes its own bread on site so you know that the bread rolls are always fresh.
So it was time to go back. The service was good and efficient.
My crispy pork bahn mi was fantastic, with some fresh salad and the pork was juicy and crispy. Yum! Not forgetting to mention my crispy roll. I would have liked some more spice but I should have asked for more.
My partners tofu salad roll was equally as good and we both polished off our banh mi's in no time.
This place is back, and its definitely worth a visit.
Last review - October 2019
I haven’t been here in a while so it was time to revisit this place. My last visit was definitely a 5/5 experience but this visit at lunchtime just didn’t hit the mark.
The service was very good, the bread roll was ok, and my pork belly, well it was really average and the salad just ok.
The roll overall tasted alright but I was asked if I wanted chilli and I said yes please w gusto haha. But maybe the waitress didn’t hear me because there was no spice.
I’ll go back once more, maybe, just in case I went on an average day but what I was hoping for crispy bread roll and spice, w some fresh salad. And that didn’t happen.
still, literally the best banh mi i’ve ever had in Melbourne!
tried the grilled chicken and grilled pork before, yum !
had this banh mi more than 3 times and never get bored.
from the fresh ingredients, the soft bread, their juicy meat, and the price is consider cheap!!! ❤️❤️
I had the original Bahn mi omg... was delicious... it's the best in Melb indeed, so traditional that takes you back to Saigon street food... yum. It's fresh and it's busy place at the moment, I guess locals know where to go and go n try it out, you will not be disappointed.
I had major pork roll cravings on my once a week walk during isolation. When I saw this place with a line, I joined it. While the banh mi was filling and the bread was fresh, it didn't satisfy my cravings. It was good but I've had better elsewhere. I wish there were some pickled radishes for crunch and tang.
Best banh mi in melbourne!!
Best banh mi! Must order the crispy pork roll. Service can be a little slow but it’s worth the wait.
Best Banh Mi in Melbourne. Our family always comes back and this place never fails to deliver. Highly recommend cold pork, grilled pork and grilled chicken salad rolls.
Some of the yummiest fob rolls I’ve had! The bread is so crunchy and they give you ample amount of filling . They are also generous on the pate and egg butter . The roast pork is so crispy and grilled chicken to die for
I have been going to Phuoc Thanh Bakery for over 10 years and it has never disappointed, but of course due to inflation etc prices of their infamous Banh Mi has increased slightly but definitely way cheaper than CBD/city prices and often or not they more fusionized and not so authentic.
I absolutely love Banh Mi especially when the bread roll is freshly made and super crispy/crunchy and with the right about of filling/meat inside.
🔆LOCATION🔆
Phuoc Thanh Bakery is located in the heart of Victoria St, right next to the large Richmond Asian Grocery Supermarket at the traffic lights. You can easily pass by without noticing it so my indicator is always to keep eye out on the large asian supermarket next to the traffic lights haha!
🔆SERVICE🔆
The ladies working at Phuoc Thanh Bakery are friendly, but often or not when its been a super long day and when its busy, their smile is a bit lacking but that is understandable. They're on their feet all day and the Bakery opens at 5.30am so you can imagine.
🔆MENU/PRICE🔆
I always order the classic Pork Banh Mi, however there is more Pork variety/options now that you select from.
* Crispy Roast Pork
* Roast Pork (char sui)
* Shredded Pork
* Pork Skewers
Standard Pork Banh Mi now costs $5.50
If you like crispy roast Bork Banh mi, that costs $6.50
🔆VERDICT🔆
Pork Salad Banh Mi all the way! Yummylicious!
I love the traditional pork banh mi which has the traditional pork cold cuts - sliced pork, pork sausauge, with traditional liver pate smeared on inner side of the bread roll and mayonnaise butter on the other side with pickled carrots, pickled radish, cucumber and coriander.
The Vietnamese bread roll is of a decent size and so are the filling. Wish they could add more coriander and 1 more slice of cucumber. Yum! haha!
Top quality bahn mi. The crispy pork is the speciality here. A good amount of meat, which is juicy and crisp. The rolls are well made, a nice balance of ingredients. Chilli packs a punch but not too hot, ask for more if you're a chilli fiend. The pateso (pork pastry) is decent but not amazing. A busy place but service is fast.
Great range of options to choose from, I bought ham roll and crispy pork roll. The roll were full with ingredients which is a plus. I like the pate and the pickle onions, it added some texture for the roll. The only downside was the crispy pork’s skin, I expected it to be more crispy. But in general, good stuffs at an affordable price.
My photo's say it all, the best Banh Mi. Yes there is a line up, even after 2 hours when we where leaving Richmond the line up was the same because the Banh Mi is fantastic.
Best and hottest Vietnamese bread in Melbourne. Only tried Pork Salad. Service is great, someone jumped a queue before me and they were paying enough attention to set the order straight
I love this place!
Highly recommend Grilled bbq pork.
Crispy pork also is very popular too(when I’m in the line, most of customers order crispy pork)
But sometimes the taste depends on the person who is handling your order.
It’s good tho😋
Love their banh mi’s! The baguette is very fluffy and airy! I love their crispy pork roll here, their regular cold cut pork roll is also good. Their pâté and bo (Vietnamese Mayo) is also tasty unlike other places that has no flavour. They do have long queues though, but it is worth a bit of the wait.
This place is definitely one of the best in Melbourne. Good price, fresh Ingredients and tasty unique desserts.
Although their crispy pork was delicious, their grilled chicken is the best option.
