I've also moved on and my go to is Banh Mi Saigon now as well especially since I moved to the area it's a real no brainer now.

check out my homies place

Banh Mi Yen Linh 888 kingsway

opened shortly after Tung Hing closed down

Hate to say it but your homies place sucks.

I went to it when I saw it was open and it isn't even comparable to the rest around the area.

first time I went when it first opened, didnt think it was good either. but went recently and thought it was better

lol were you high? :drunk:

I will agree with CRS......

I checked it out a while back, when it was fairly new. And agreed...one of the worst.

The banh mi dac biet at Bean Banh Mi is super mediocre.. Best thing about it were the pickled veg(daikon and carrot). They need to work on their bread, pate and butter.
Can't speak for their other fillings.

Banh mi Saigon still best.

LOL @ "Super mediocre." Based on your description, it sounds more underwhelming than anything.

Banh mi Saigon needs to work on their bread ... Wife and I went there a week ago and damn.. chewing that bread really gets the jaw tired.

It’s not a real banh mi unless you’re jaw gets tired and the top part inside your mouth is cut up and bleeding

And back to zero consensus lol.

RIP Tung Hing Bakery. Forever missed.

That's their trait. More French style? They probably use less rice flour in their recipe. I actually prefer a more doughy baguette.

Bean is a lighter bread but a bit soggy. I saw a huge basket and trays of bread sitting around. Idk if it's stale, cooking time or amount of steam during cooking but I'd put their bread a level below Ba Le.

Ba Le traditional Vietnamese style baguette. Light, airy, crispy and messy.

Tung Hing more French style. Narrow.

BA LE changed the quality i think, tasted a lot better, maybe because they hired young guns to run the shop.


banh mi saigon bread is very crunchy with a lot of blood coming out of my gums but I think that is due to us being so use to the tung hing buns.


banh mi saigon did charge me extra for PATE (BA LE does that as well)


which sucks dick.

Is that the kind of banh mi you prefer? :troll: :fullofwin:

Banh mi saigon - first time trying today. On point! 10/10.

Can't believe I drive past it all the time lol

Anyone hear if they reopened a new location?
