THE LEAD VERDICT
“this queen west location has great street-watching potential with big windows and that urban graffiti vibe - perfect for people-watching while you enjoy your sandwich”
“i mean the counter-service setup adn hard surfaces make it pretty echo-y when busy creating this cafeteria-like acoustic environment that kills any intimate vibe”

CONTRIBUTING CRITICS
ALSO FILED
“they offered to make any banh mi on rice paper instead of bread which was amazing for me. the grilled chicken with extra pickled veg was fresh flavorful and totally safe for my dietary stuff”
“limited gluteen free options beyond rice paper substitute would love to see naturally GF vietnamese dishes like pho or spring rolls ugh”
“tehir vietnamese iced coffee is legit the best ive had in toronto strong coffee with that perfect condensed milk ratio. plus theyre open til 9 most DAYS so you can get your caffeine fix way later than usual”
“only takes cash which is SO annoying in 2024 had to run to the atm across the street adn pay the $3 fee”
“their house-made mayo incorporates vietnamese flavors beautifully - you can taste the fish sauce and lime WORKING together to create this umami-rich spread that elevates every ingredient in the sandwich”
“lowkey teh pickled vegetables could use more time - theyre not quite tangy enuf and lack the proper fermented depth that makes traditional banh mi pickles so addictive”
“the pork belly banh mi is straight up FIRE crispy pork pickled daikon fresh cilantro jalapenos with actual heat. real vietnamese flavors at food truck prices”
“not even kidding bread was a lil stale on teh edges not that fresh baked crunch you want from proper banh mi”
“the five-spice pork banh mi hits all the right notes - tender meat wiht crispy edges fresh cilantro and that perfect bread-to-filling ratio”
“tbh wished tehy ooffered a spicier chili sauce option - the current level is pretty mild for those of us who like serious heat”
“finally a banh mi place that gets the bread right - crispy crust that crackles when you bite it but soft inside filled wiht perfectly balanced vietnamese flavors that remind me of the best spots in chinatown”
“real talk the pate isnt quite authentic - its too smooth adn mild compared to traditional vietnamese versions that have more texture and liver flavor cant complain”
“so likeee asked for extra jalapenos on my banh mi and tehy didnt disappoint proper heat that builds gradually plus the sriracha aioli they make in house has SERIOUS kick finally found a vietnamese spot that doesnt tone down spice for canadians would go back”
“lowkey the pho broth was disappointing adn mild needed way more star anise ginger and chili heat to get that complex flavor you want idk”
