BÁNH MÌ - Vietnamese Sandwiches - iCasa Serviced Apartment

SAIGON STREET FOOD - BÁNH MÌ

If you’re even the slightest bit into Vietnamese food, you’ve probably eaten numerous banh mi sandwiches.

Along with pho, easily the most exported Vietnamese speciality is banh mi. Although banh mi can mean a variety of different things, and in Vietnamese it actually just means bread, sometimes the term can be used to refer to any type of the beautiful Vietnamese personal baguette sandwich.

Walking around Saigon you’ll see dozens of carts with signs selling banh mi – it’s actually hard to go more than a block without seeing one – so it’s never hard to find.

There are many different varieties of banh mi, and here’s a good resource for seeing the different types, but the basic sandwich starts with a crusty baguette that’s sliced in half (sometimes using a scissors) and stuffed with layers of pork, luncheon meats, shredded cured pork skin, pâté, mayonnaise, Vietnamese radish and carrot pickles, a handful of sliced cucumbers, sprigs of coriander (cilantro), and last but not least, an optional, yet in my opinion necessary, scoop of fresh pounded chilies.

The sum of these ingredients together is what really makes banh mi such a glorious sandwich.

Here are the three main restaurants for Banh Mi in Saigon – Ho Chi Minh City

Banh Mi Huynh Hoa:

  • Address: 26 Lê Thị Riêng, Ben Thanh, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
  • Open hours: About 3:30 pm – midnight daily
  • Price: 40,000 VND ($1.40), more expensive than others, but worth it for the amount of meat

Banh Mi Hong Hoa

  • Address: 62 Nguyễn Văn Tráng, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
  • Open hours: I think open in the morning, I arrived at 8 am, and they seemed to be at their peak serving, so good place for breakfast
  • Price: 17,000 VND ($0.80)

Banh Mi 37 Nguyen Trai

  • Address: 37 Nguyễn Trãi, Ho Chi Minh City (though the address is 37, it’s right at Hem 39)
  • Open hours: From around 4:30 pm – 7:30 pm each day
  • Price: 16,000 VND ($0.75)

Enjoy your trip in Ho Chi Minh City.
