Nguyen Huong Food

Excellent banh mi! More expensive than they used to be, but still cheap and tasty. Cash only but there’s no shortage of banks nearby. Can’t comment on the hot food or groceries, but the place is always busy with people doing their shopping, so I’m sure you can’t go wrong.

Happiness and comfort food for me is this place. I’ve gone here for over a decade, yes the price has steadily increased but even 14 years ago when I first started going there the current $ 2.50 price tag would’ve been more than fair.
When I can walk into the place and they know my VERY specific sandwich, I can’t help but be pretty stoked about it.
Because I order the veg option only, I say this is the best traditional no frills veggie banh mi in the city. I can’t speak about the meat. I also don’t have the butter or mayo… But the tofu is that flavorful and the «extra hot» peppers make me cry, in a good way. Of course you can also get no spice at all.
Try it with $ 1.25 mr Browns iced coffee and you’re laughing!

Great place in Chinatown to get banh mi! Just make sure you know what you want as it is really crazy in there and hectic! The ladies behind the counter will harass you until you move along!
Lots of great prepacked food as well, if the sandwich isn’t your thing!

Very amiable staff but with such care and in subtle measures. The smiles aren’t always obvious and oddly gritty but their intentions are much softer. After our transaction we left the store. A woman comes out screaming. We didn’t discern any of it. We followed her back into the store. The owner thought we forgot an item. Rather thoughtful.

Must try: Banh mi
This place sells the most solid banh mi sandwiches I know. Once in a while I’ll get the craving to come and grab them in bulk. I prefer the spicy version with the chilli but both types are very good. I feel like you can make your own as well, but I always just grab the already made ones because… They know best right?
I haven’t tried anything else here so can’t really comment. But everything in the store looks interesting.
Remember to bring cash! But this is Chinatown so that’s pretty much a given.

Large assorted cold cut is definitely a great buy, at a price of 3 dollars, fills you right up for lunch.
One thing that is definitely nice, is if you go later into the day, a lot of their plated dishes will be discounted a decent amount. usually goes from 4 to 5 dollars down to 2 to 3 dollars.

Eh, not bad for mass production the banh mi! Quick in and out grub. The ladies are rude and like to rush when they busy. When it’s a slow time they want to be best friends lol

Cheap on-​the-​go Vietnamese foods! They have at least 3 people making the sandwiches, so If your in a hurry, I would definitely recommend this place.

Incredible. Cheap with great food. ⁵⁄₅
The Small Assorted Cold Cut is full of meat and veggies. No tax, only $ 2.50 for lunch. It tasted a lot better than Subway’s 6 inch sandwiches. mayo, pickled carrots, pork and coriander. It didn’t have a lot of seasoning, but you’ll be fulfilled with the cheap sandwich. Great to grab when you’re hungry in Chinatown.
I also wanted to try one of their plates. I had one for only $ 4.50 with noodles, sweet sauce, pork sausages, Char Siew pork, some veggies and a huge spring roll. It was honestly better than some Vietnamese restaurants in Toronto. I couldn’t say weather the meat was fresh (probably not, and I don’t care), but the taste was fantastic. Sweet and meaty. The spring roll was also full of meat (I think its beef), and it tasted better than the sandwich!
If you don’t want to eat a sandwich, go grab a plate. The portion was so big I had to finish it as both lunch and dinner. Love, love, love this place. Will visit again.

Literally the best banh mi place. Super fast, really tasty, huge portion and really cheap. The store sold other vietnamese food items on the side too but the banh mi is so good.
There are so many different kinds of meat, I always get excited when I visit.

I’ve had one thing and one thing only from this awesome Vietnamese Submarine sandwich shop located on Dundas, and it was pure awesomeness.
I’m beginning to think that the Vietnamese are set on world food domination for all categories, because phở is by far my favorite meal in the entire world, at any time, but now along come these incredibly fresh, tasty and AFFORDABLE sandwich’s, throwing yet another tasty weapon into the arsenal that is Vietnamese cuisine!
I have had a colleague bring me these, so I can’t even tell you what kind I got, but whatever it was, it was great. The bread was so fresh I’d swear it had barely enough time to cool before I ate it. The filling was a mortadella like cold cut, with a pastrami like cold cut, a base of pâté and a center of spicy carrots. Apparently all of this costs something around $ 3 – 4. It’s very spicy, incredibly flavorful and unbelievably affordable.
Go, NOW!

Bahn Mi at bargain prices!
Every time me and the hubby shop at T&T, he picks up a Spicy Bahn Mi sandwich, and finally we decided to check out the address on the bag, and buy one direct.
Made fresh to order there are many choices, including the original, but all of them are incredibly cheap.
I still don’t know how they can sell these for such low prices, but it doesn’t matter, keeping hubby from getting hangry is worth the trip to Chinatown for a few Bahn Mi Sandwiches, while I drag him around the city running errands and doing shopping.
This is not Bahn Mi Boys, no poutine, no bao, no frills, but the prices can’t be beat.
That’s it, it’s the No Frills of Bahn Mi.

The original Banh Mi Boys. No really, their parents own this place. Cheap, authentic Banh Mi with classic, Vietnamese ingredients. Did I mention the high average for one of these babies is a whooping $ 2.50? Yup!
They also offer a number of different pre-​made meals, with notables like sticky rice with Chinese sausage, Pork and mushroom steam rolls, and a variety of Vietnamese sausages.
If you want eat where the locals eat, this is your spot.

This is a great place if you’re looking for a quick cheap Vietnamese bite.
The price of sandwiches have gone up over the last 10 years. It’s $ 2.5 for a small sandwich now. The most popular one is the assorted cold cut. I love it with a bit of fresh chili pepper. Yummy! I usually pick up a few to go, eat one now and save some for lunch the next day. Pop it on the toaster oven for 5min, your sandwich is ready for lunch the next day
I also like to pick up other items: cha lua (viet pork roll), spring rolls, and the dessert goodies (banana streamed cake with coconut dip, casava cake)

Love their subs so much more than subway. an original large for $ 3 is such a steal too

Perfect car ride snack during my road trip!
Located in Chinatown. Cash only.
The building your sandwich in front of you right after your order.
Assorted Cold Cut Sandwich, large — $ 3 — Good mix of viet deli meat. Huge sandwich and so cheap compared to back home.
BBQ Pork Sandwich, large — $ 3.75 — Well seasoned pork. Worked well with the pickled veggies.
Eggroll — $ 1.25 — Big eggroll. Pork and veggies were good. Pricey for an eggroll even after the US conversion rate.
Viet Coffee — $ 2 — Terrible! They use granulated sugar and crappy coffee to make this. Nothing was good about this at all. Would have been a 4 if this coffee did not suck so much!

My go to for take out comfort food. It can get a little tricky ordering if you’re not familiar with vietnamese food or banh mi. The staple is banh mi cha lua. I am a purist, so not a fan of any the other variations they have.
If you are already there it is worth trying the spring rolls, banh gio (sticky rice with ground pork and mushroom filling) and the banh cong (essentially a savoury deep fried mung bean muffin with a prawn on top). T
The banh cuon is not too bad. I occasionally stare at the che lovingly, but never get it.

Looks chaotic in there but great local stop in Chinatown. I got the regular pork sandwich and I liked it. The bread was a bit stale but props to them for making their own Bread. They have an assortment of cold drinks and prepackaged food which I didn’t try but would have loved to! I’d go again to try everything they have! similar to saigon bakery in New York.

I love love love this place.
Its cheap. Its good. Its filling. How can you complain when $ 2.25 gets you a meal. This is what a banh mi should taste like. The baguette is great and I love the cold cuts. Whenever I go to Spadina, this is my first stop.
If you bring it home and warm it up in the oven for the bread to be warm and crispy. IT IS DIVINE. Just remember to take the veggies out before putting it in the oven. What can I say, I love my banh mi.

SO MUCH LOVE FOR THIS PLACE!!! It’s only $ 2.75 for a real decent viet sub and you get to choose from a variety of meat! It tastes good too
They also have prepacked food incase you’re too lazy to make your own meal and the staff are really quick so there’s almost no wait time even there’s quite a few people in the store.
