Banh Mi Bar opened sometime during the Summer 2016 and we had a few chances to try it out. It is about a block away from Douglas College.
Banh Mi Bar is run by a young and very friendly couple. It has a simple menu with about 6 or 7 different varieties of the typical banh mi flavours you can find elsewhere. This is a small shop with just a few counter seats available if you want to stay and eat. Most people I’ve seen usually get take out.
I ordered the chicken banh mi. Like others, it’s made to order and has the usual toppings like cilantro, cucumber, pickled carrots and radish. They will ask if you want jalapeno too.
The banh mi is presented reasonably nice in a plastic basket The bread is very fresh while crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. I also like the sauce that was used. It is kind of like mustard sauce which I don’t recall having tried before at other banh mi places. Perhaps this is their special secret sauce.
Overall, the prices here are quite reasonable and the sandwiches are quite fresh. They have a stamp program where you get a free sub after X number of purchases. It’s good to have something different in this neighborhood.
