I think it was near the corner of E. Hastings and Gore ave.

Oh and by Ba Le I meant the one on fraser and kingsway. That one has more selection and hot food ones.

I know the Chinatown one isn't that good.

it was around Hastings and Gore.

used to be a vietnamese supermarket with the sandwich shop being in the back

and yea it was like 10+ years ago lol

the owner of the bread shop's brother decided to open a pho restaurant (golden phoenix) and she opened the bread shop within the pho place.

sandwiches arent as good as I remember, but still better than Ba Le lol

+1 for Pho Thy.

I don't go anywhere else. They recently raised the price by 50 cents though..

PLEASE GUYS POST SOME PICS

Bumping an old thread. Need a banh mi place in south Burnaby recommendation

Although this isn't a new place, I'm quite a big fan of Ba Le on Fraser and Kingsway.

I like it more than Tung Hing and Kim Chau.

Banh Mi Saigon, Cafe Xu Hue and Tung Hing :D

My wife and I got food poisoning from the Ba Le on Fraser/Kingsway last summer. It wasn't the worse case of food poisoning, but I think it was due to the crazy summer heat, and it being an end of day sandwich.

I went to Tung Hing recently, very good. My new go to now.

Saigon Banh Mi on Victoria Drive is amazing.

Kim Saigon in Chinatown

Saigon Banh Mi on Vic. Dr.

i normally just eat banh mi at home... mhm. if not then at banh mi saigon / au petit / dong khanh
i feel like the viet subs in stores arent as satisfying anymore. my fam used to own buu dien from way back if any of you remember lol

what i do for myself.....
buy vietnamese ham from thu hien
bread from banh mi saigon
nem nuong from kim chau pan fry
use french frentel butter (i buy from states >:)
spread with pate
make your own pickled veggies


toast
nom

banh mi for days lol

While still good, Tung Hing used to be better. :okay:

Damn I miss that place! I had my first banh mi there back in the mid/late 90's

Sorry to hack this tread but does anyone know where to get really good banh bao?

Ba Le used to make it but they said it is too time consuming to make and won't make anymore until further notice.

Empress is good for because its quick and fast, but Au Petit as better taste hand down. They usually sell out before lunch.

still love au petit.

best ive had

Yeah. Too bad the whole plaza burnt down by some arsonist to get insurance money apparently.
Otherwise I would've been a part time sandwich lady lol :fuckyea::awwyeah:

DD Mau serves some pretty good banh mi too. They specialize in it and have it in all different flavours! One of my favourites :)

Best banh mi in Vancouver? None!

I'm from Edmonton and I'd rather eat a frozen and thawed year old Edmonton banh mi than anything here.

You must have went to the Chinatown Ba Le. Ive been to that place too many times out of Banh Mi desperation, and its kind of put me off.

Ba Le is like the Pho Hoa of banh mi. They're in food courts and strip malls all over the States.

been looking for a local spot with some good banh mi op la (sunny side up eggs)
'
I might just go grab some bread from Saigon and make it myself today haha

surprised Au Petit Cafe never made it to this thread.

From what i heard they get someone to make a limited supply of rolls. It's epic good. Lastly, if you know them well enough, they put a shot of alcohol in your ice drip coffee.

4851 Main St, Vancouver, BC V5V 3R9

Yes. Over half a dozen times

Please tell me more about that butter.
Where do you get it.
And why that one?
