Bánh Mì Huynh Hoa

73k per banh mi I understand why tourists enjoy this place so much, they give you so much meat and pate, pretty much double or triple the amount you would get at a regular stall. The lines are long during the peak hours, as any place would be, and the line extends into the street. You order at one window, and then get in line for the pick up window. They crank out these sandwiches so fast, i probably stood in line for 15 mins after placing my order.

It’s definitely the most packed take out Bahn Mi place I seen by far and the sandwich is twice the size of the competitors. They need a separate place just for grab takeouts. The sandwich itself was good but a little too much liver pate to my taste.

Fantastic place to get sandwiches for any meal, lots of options and lots of variety for different people. Also, their smoothies are really really good and fresh. You can ask them to cut your sandwich in half so that if you go with two people you can share each other's sandwich and try different things on the menu. The place is busy but the service is still really fast. I will definitely be returning to this place for a meal in the future since it's really, really really good. I strongly recommend this place.

With the international fame this place has, my review probably won't hold much weight but Huynh Hoa was my go to place when I lived in Ho Chi Minh City between 2017 to 2020. It was phenomenal. Amazing flavours, balanced and extremely popular. How things change over 5 years. I was hanging out to get an amazing Banh Mi. Unfortunately and sad to say, my experience was well below what was expected but still the popularity is there thanks to countless influencers trying to boost views on their channels. The bread overbaked, chewy and not crispy. Back 5 years, it was fresh and at times warm straight out of the oven. It was so overfilled with pate and floss that it was overpowering. There was also a chemical after taste from what I think was the pate. The vegetables are now prepackaged so you actually have to build your own Banh Mi. The cucumber was dry and not fresh. The herbs and spring onion chopped to an inch of its life. I ordered as I did back 5 years ago with chilli and extra pate but these days there is no customisation. Unfortunately, the team members don't have the English skills to explain this and look exhausted from no doubt serving thousands of Banh Mi from 6am. All of this has taken away the traditional and delicate balance of flavours from what once was the best Banh Mi in Saigon. One thing to add, I overheard customers in the line asking what they are queuing for. "Some kind of sandwich!" Imagine now, one of Vietnam's most well known food exports is being handed out to tourists who have no idea how it is meant to taste. Such a shame! Change is only good when it advances, educates and grows the brand through quality and consistency. The Huynh Hoa brand has grown but the focus is revenue and not tradition.

Is highly rated for a reason. Knocked it out the park. Layers of meats with healthy spreads of butter and pate and your decision which side vegetables go on. Absolutely delicious. They are large, so I'd suggest if you have kids or a smaller appetite, share. Otherwise, smash a big one back.. roughly the size of a footlong from subway.

You have to prepare to queue up to order and to receive your banh mi if you decided to come anytime. This is one of the best breads around the town, to be honest with multiple meat filling and generous butter and pate filling. No fret if you don't know what to order because they have only a single menu. Just know how many can your stomach accommodate... for me, half of the huge Banh Mi should be enough

This Banh Mi exceeded our expectations! The portion is huge (maybe as big as a Subway footlong) —we shared one between three people and were all full. It’s flavorful without the usual aftertaste of excessive seasoning, suggesting they don’t use MSG, which is a big plus. I recommend asking them to cut the Banh Mi in half for easier eating. The veggies come in two small bags—one with leafy greens, one with pickled veggies—letting you add as much or as little as you like. There are two counters: one for ordering and one for Grab pick-ups. In between, there’s a small store where you can sit and enjoy your meal, complete with gloves for a mess-free experience. Drinks are available too. They serve only one type of Banh Mi, which shows they’ve perfected it. The steady flow of take-out and Grab orders indicates it’s loved by locals and tourists alike. This is definitely one of the best banh mis I’ve had. We loved it so much that we came back for another round before leaving Saigon. (My POV: Saigon offers a variety of unique takes on banh mi, each with its own distinct charm. Unlike other dishes, it’s hard to pick just one as "the best" because every version brings something special to the table, and I truly appreciate all the different flavors and styles.) On our visit Saturday night around 7:40 pm, the line was short, so we were able to dine in. However, on Sunday around 3 pm, the line was long, and the dining area was packed. We had to take it to go, but it was still delicious :) Highly recommend this place when you're in Saigon :)

🥪 I ordered this banh mi for takeaway and was pleasantly surprised by its size—it’s larger than the usual banh mi! 🥒 Since it was a takeaway order, they thoughtfully separated the vegetables, allowing me to add them fresh to the banh mi before eating. They also packed plenty of meat inside and sliced the sandwich in half—just one half is quite filling. 🌟 This is one of the famous banh mi places and overall I really enjoyed it!
