Banh Mi Nguyen Huong

“best baanh mi in chinatown hadns down crusty baguette perfect meat to veggie ratio they load it up proper five bucks gets you a sandwich that'll keep you full for hours”

“cash only no cards had to run to teh atm down the street”

“lowkey teh combo banh mi has so many layers of flavor like it reminds me of italian antipasti - multiple cured meats pâté pickled veggies creating this whole symphony in your mouth”

“like teh bread is crusty but lacks that perfect chew of a real italian baguette - its too airy and doesnt hold up to all the juicy fillings”

“the authentic vietnamese storefront vibe literally transports you to saigon - fluorescent lights plastic stools adn regulars chatting away who obviously know this is the real deal”

“the space is cramped and claustrophobic when its busy barely enough room to walk between the super tight tables”

“the visual contrast is stunning - bright white bread split open with pink ham green cilantro orange carrots and white daikon like an edible rainbow yikes”

“the fluorescent lighting inside is harsh and makes food pics impossible plus everything looks KINDA greenish which is unflattering”

“fresh spring rolls were packed wiht crisp veggies herbs and shrimp you could taste every ingredient clearly no heavy sauces masking the natural flavors and the peanut dipping sauce was perfectly balanced between sweet and SAVORY”

“portion sizes are kinda small for the price the banh mi was tasty but definitely smaller compared to other places on spadina”

“honestly at four fifty for a MASSIVE banh mi loaded with meat adn veggies this place is literally an insane deal - you can't find better value anywhere in downtown toronto just saying”

“cash only is kinda annoying in 2024 especially when you dont expect it and have to find an atm”

“fooor real tehy actually understood my gluten sensitivity and suggested the grilled pork and vietnamese salad without the bread fresh herbs crispy veggies and perfectly marinated meat with that tangy fish sauce dressing finally a vietnamese spot that gets it”

“seriously pho broth might have had gluten in it adn the staff wasnt completely sure about cross contamination so i had to skip my favorite dish”
