Best BBQ pork roll! I love their sauce 😍 it’s good and affordable! BANH-QUI is good as well~
吃完这家的你就会发现其他家越南包要么肉的味道不对,要么配菜的味道不对,要么sauce的味道不对。这家的越南包真的很合我口味啊!喜欢他们sauce的味道,肉也烤的很香。还买了一盒小甜点,看样子有点像我们的清明粿,4个分别是不同口味的。很🉑️ 不会太甜,一秒带你回到中式甜点的感觉,清香,吃多了也不腻。

This is one of the bakeries that tastes the most traditional in Melbourne I’ve tried 👍🏻 can’t complain ab the price, really cheap compared to other places. The quality of the rolls is damn good, freshly baked, a bit crunchy outside soft inside, the meat is tasty, well-marinated, the veggie is fresh n right amount. Besides the rolls, there r also pate chaud - marinated pork pasties, which are amazing as well; plain chinese donuts w sesame seeds n heaps of sweets. Quick service, lovely staffs ❤️

Work colleagues drive me out to Nhu Lan for some authentic banh mi from the heart of Richmond’s little vietnam... Victoria Street. I was very lucky as I came in within a short lull and ordered straight away. My colleague had to go to the ATM as Nhu Lan is cash only and he was not so lucky. I ordered a BBQ pork roll with a double up of chilli. This was a very generously filled roll at only $5.50. I also ordered a pate chaud pastry which was super puffy and equally delicious. A great little find probably 10 years after the rest of Melbourne discovered this gem

I wasn't quite filled with a 10 piece dumpling from Yum Shanghai so gave this place a try. It's definitely a place packed with people and it's mainly available for take away. The ambience isnt great, but neither does any shop in this street has space for some chairs.

This has got to be the best Bahn MI I've tried thus far. Got myself a BBQ chicken Bahn mi, where the bread was crispy, yet soft which was brilliant. Then comes the veggies and a delicious protein portion in a tasty BBQ mix. Good value for your money, and filling for sure!

It is located in north Richmond, and is near tram station as well as train station. I was the first time to be here, the sauce in the roll was quite nice! The buns were very crispy as well, but the bbq pork inside was not warm as I thought. The price is $5.50 per roll, it increased 50 cents since last year. Lol, how did I know? I looked up other’s photos of their menu uploaded, it showed $5 each. But it’s still fair. Definitely come and buy one when I passed by one day.

A very typical Vietnamese bakery where you can find a variety of breads, especially banh mi sandwiches. A freshly baked roll with crunchy pickles, crispy pork, a hint of salt and pepper, and some herbs (no chilli, thank u) was my regular kind of banh mi here

About to be my new local, now that I live across the street. Somehow, the girls here know exactly how to proportion my Bahn mi (no pate please) so that my last bite always ends with a big chunk of tofu (and coriander if I'm lucky). They're also pretty skilled at adding just the right amount of chilli. And you can't beat that $5.50 price tag! Highly recommend for vegos and vegans of the area.

On the way to the shows we stopped for a quick and cheap dinner at Nhu Lan. While we're a regular at their Footscray store for years, we've never been to the Richmond one. This looks interested, though doesn't come in chicken, pork only. . *click to enlarge*. At 5pm it was dead, though we hope still fresh. Back when I was at school (I graduated in 2011) rolls were $4 though these days they're  $5. With complimentary pate.

I remember as a kid having banh mi thit from Nhu Lan for lunch at school, and how I felt like the coolest kid with the best sandwiches on the block. Bread is crisp and crunchy on the outside, with a fluffy inside. Cheap alternative, and very filling. Loved the pickled carrots and the chillli gives it the extra kick needed.

I am a big fan of Banh Mi since I tried it first time in Richmond. Then I tried several shops around this area as many shops are selling Banh Mi.
However, this shop is the best ever for me. Baguette is crispy outside and soften inside also meat and veg are fresh as tuned over a lot. Taste and volume is perfect and price is just $5.0~ umm one of my favorite shop!!

If you'd like to grab a delicious quick lunch with fresh food with reasonable price, Nhu Lan would be one of the options.
The restaurant is accessible by public transport and located in the Victoria Street.
It takes around 10-15 min walking distance from North Richmond station.
It's a humbly looking restaurant and it is meant to be a take away shop as they don't have any table available for customers.

We ordered Banh Mi Ga Ro Ti (Vietnamese Chicken Onion Roll) for $5.00 because we're attracted by the display photo.
The Banh Mi price in Nhu Lan is very reasonable.
It was served with the fresh, crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside bun.
In addition to that, cucumber, vinegary carrot, fresh coriander, chilli, a smear of pate and marinated chicken with onions would make this roll even better.
It had rich taste, well seasoned but not too strong; this Banh Mi was absolutely fantastic.
Unfortunately, the chickens in Banh Mi Ga Ro Ti weren't generous enough compared to the display photo.

Definitely, will come back to try other Vietnamese roll.
Overall we enjoyed the Banh Mi!

Service : 4.0
Taste : 4.0
Price : 4.0
Speed : 4.0

Yay : Fresh and delicious Banh Mi
Nay : The chickens put in the Banh Mi Ga Ro Ti weren't generous

It's my favourite Vietnamese bakery on Victoria Street, Richmond. I usually get my banh Mi thit ngoui (pork roll) and sometimes I need a skewer of grilled pork balls (nem nuoung) and Vietnamese pork puff (pate chaud). It's a popular place and it's because the food is good and service is quick and the prices are reasonable if not cheap.

Probably the best Bahn Mi I've tried - the BBQ chicken and BBQ pork rolls are great. The fillings are always flavourful, and the rolls crisp. Have heard that the little Pate Chauds are nice too.

Would give 5/5 but the amount of meat you get can sometimes vary with who you get making your roll.

Had their BBQ Pork Roll which was delicious! The bread was crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside while the fillings were packed with flavours. The BBQ pork was decent whereas the sauce was flavoursome. Personally, I felt that the sauce was crucial to make this bread roll mouth-watering. Moreover, the cucumber, carrot and coriander provided the freshness to balance with the saltiness from the sauce. Last but not least, the chillies gave the spiciness to complete this savoury and flavourful bread roll.

Service is alright but the main reason to visit Nhu Lan is to eat the banh mi! My favourite roll is the mixed ham roll, it's been a favourite of mine since childhood and can never do me wrong! The bread is so crispy, and the ingredients are so fresh and delicious! You won't be disappointed when coming here to grab a banh mi as evidenced by the long lines during the lunch time rush.

Had the meat ball roll this morning, which was yummy as always.
There're 2 kinds of meat ball to choose, meat halls on the skewer or meat balls with source. I prefer those on the skewer. The protion is quite big considering its price - only $5.

i had the tofu roll (10/10) and i don't have any complains! the bread was crunchy on the outside and a little fluffy on the inside, the vege tasted really fresh and the tofu is a little chewy and has a smoked taste to it. the service is here fast but it can be packed at certain hours. i would definitely come back for more! :)
tip: remove the cut chilli if you can't take spicy!

By far one of my favourite Banh mi places in Melbourne. They freshly bake the baguettes, crispy exterior and a fluffy soft interior, accompanied by pickled vegetables, pate, butter, coriander and cold cuts. I always get the Banh mi thit nguoi (mixed ham), it's honestly so good and for $5, they are so worth it. Highly recommend this place.

Best breadrolls in town. We have to keep coming back either richmond or Footscray Nhu Lan fortnightly regardless where we have moved to in the past 20 years.

Bread and carrot are always nice and crunchy. Pate, I believe, is the homemade secret recipe one. Even the spring onion was thick, crispy, and have sweet aftertaste, which my home grown one cant be compared.

It is always very busy and there is no clues how to line up. I guess if you know how to cross the busy street in Saigon, you will be able to get in and out within 5 minutes. Otherwise, just like me, wait patiently and you will be rewarded with a beautiful freshly made breadroll.

Very reasonably priced rolls which are crunchy on the outside, and fluffy on the inside. Tasty fillings such as BBQ chicken, tomato sauce meat balls, onion chicken accompanied by pate, salad and various condiments make this a cheap, filling meal on the go. I've tried others on the street and there's no comparison! For some extra heat, say "Yes!" to their little chillies!

Best cold cuts style bahn mi you can get! The bread was fresh and crunchy too. Really tasty but probably not the healthiest "salad roll" you can get.. Cheap though! Pork bao was average. It was the mince kind with egg.. I was kinda hoping for BBQ pork!

Great little Vietnamese roll take away shop on Victoria Street. Been there several times because it's always fresh and tasty. They make their own bread rolls on site, and it can get quite busy. It's a bit hard to find sometimes as there are lots of similar places on Victoria Street but this is the best place I've found so far. The pork or salad rolls are about $4.50-$5 so good value if you want a cheap, healthy alternative to a chain store selling similar food.

Was only introduced to Vietnamese Rolls recently, if they had told me what I would be getting myself into sooner, my life may of been just that little bit better. This would be hands down the best place to grab a Vietnamese Roll on Vic St. It's always busy and the food is constantly being pumped out, which is always a good sign. The bread is just what you want, crunchy but soft inside. Vietnamese Rolls are an inexpensive lunch that is guaranteed to leave you satisfied.

This isn't the best banh mi place in Melbourne, but it's definitely the best one along Victoria Street in Richmond. I've tried the mixed ham, BBQ pork, BBQ kebab, and meatball banh mi so far. My favorites are the mixed ham, which is the classic banh mi, and the BBQ pork. The prices have recently increased by 50 cents, so most sell for $5. It's still an amazing deal for the quality of the fresh,crusty bread and the generous fillings. It's a popular place with many workers behind the counter to get your order finished quickly.

"FAST..FRESH..CHEAP..AND SO VERY YUM...."

We love our Vietnamese Rolls, and have had a favourite place out in the West for a long time now...Lately, I've heard lots about this place in Richmond - NHU LAN BAKERY..and almost every time I've driven down Victoria Street..I've thought.."If I see a carpark..I'll stop..". Trouble is, I've always traversed through at the busiest times of the day..and have missed out..

Today, though, I was passing at about 10am...and happened on an empty car space almost in front of their shop window...unbelievable..!!

I knew when I walked in.."these banh mi were gonna be good" - I could see the confidence on the welcoming Aunties faces.

It is such a very busy place, and yet the remarkable calmness with which the women quickly and diligently work..filling those rolls so generously whilst unwavering in their assured smiles..is quite amazing..I just fell in love with the place..Instantly..

Okay, I bought 4 x BBQ Chicken banh mi, 4 x Salad banh mi. 6 x petite baguettes and 4 x Chinese donuts for under $40 - ASTOUNDING VALUE and everything was extra-ordinary.

The MEAT & SALAD banh mi are all $4.50 each, so too the TOFU & SALAD option, and the SALAD ONLY option is $3.20 - Gorgeous crisp soft rolls, Super fresh vegetables, Well-cooked succulent meats. Authentic tasting sauce.

I actually really loved the SALAD banh mi - spicy fried shallots and chopped toasted peanuts with coarsely grated crisp carrot, cucumber strips, spring onion strips, coriander leaves and a hint of fresh red chilli...

Oh, these are just gorgeous....Wish I worked around there....I'd be having these every single day....morning, noon and night...

Now I know why people have been talking about this place...!!!

I like this bakery so much. Firstly the banh mi is probably the best you will get in Melbourne. The bread is crispy on the outside but super soft on the inside which constitutes the perfect bread for banh mi. Fillings are generous and fresh. Personally, I like the mixed ham roll and the tofu roll however all the other options are delicious too. Also don't forget their Chinese donuts, they are a really tasty and a bargain.

I've been coming for over 5 years. This place is King of the Hill without a doubt. They are, as another user stated, "machines" at pumping out these rolls. Totally uncompromising on ingredients and the flavours here are unreal. If you're a Banh Mi addict then you don't need me to tell you how good this place is. If not, then drop what you are doing right now, whip out the car keys and cruise to Richmond. Nuff said

Came in just after 5am and the smell of bread was amazing. Nothing beats the smell of fresh bread in the morning. Had four bread rolls. Mixed ham, BBQ pork, BBQ kebab pork, and BBQ chicken. The bread was super fresh and was amazing. Ordered Vietnamese coffee with them as well as well as a few pate chaud (puff pastry $1.8 each). I normally go to the one in Footscray as well. Probably the first time I been to Richmond in the morning. The amount of activity in the kitchen is lots!

From my humble banh mi beginnings at N Lee in Collins St I've decided to branch out and finally try some different places to see whether my old favourite lives up to my hype. A lot of people had told me how great Nhu Lan in Footscray was so on a recent trip to IKEA I made a quick stop by the Victoria St store for a pork meatball roll. The roll was nice with a delicious amount of meat and chilli. I'm leaning towards 8.5/10 for this one. The freshness of the rolls compared to N Lee was a slight let down but after all, it was 2.30pm on a Saturday afternoon. Would definitely recommend.

Best banh mi in Melbourne that's not gonna cost you an arm and a leg! Its cheap, delicious and loaded with meats veggies and pate. The bread is crispy and soft. Been coming here since I was a little kid. Also check out the bakery which sells custard buns for $1.50 and the chuad puff which is $2.50. Closes earlier so get there quick!
