Crunchy and chewy banh mi, just the way we like it.
Banh mi, which means ‘bread’ in Vietnamese, is a crossover of the Vietnamese and French cuisine, introduced by the latter during their colonial period in Vietnam. A classic banh mi is made up of a baguette filled with ingredients like ham, pâté, cucumber, pickled radish, carrots, and more.
We noticed that there have been a lot of banh mi joints opening recently, and restaurants as well that have been serving different versions of the dish. To make it easier for you guys to satisfy your cravings, here’s a list on where to get some of the best banh mi in the metro!
