  Before I went to Vietnam I maybe had about 5 banh mis in my entire life. When I went to Vietnam, I had about 2 banh mis a day. After Vietnam, I'm craving banh mis left and right and I feel like an addict in need of their next fix. So as a result, I came to Banh Mi Saigon. And damn, did it fix my craving.
  
  I tried both the lemongrass pork, chicken, and special banh mis. My favourite? The lemongrass pork. I don't even like pork and I liked this one. It was saucy, flavourful, and so damn good. The special is also really good, but when I come back I'll definitely be ordering that lemongrass pork again. Hopefully they can make a lemongrass chicken option in the future!
  
  This spot is fast casual. You order at the counter, wait till they call your number, and then pick up your subs. I love that you can see them making your subs for you... it's kind of like a fancy version of Subway.
  
  You can either dine in or take out. But with there being very few tables, take out is the more popular option. One thing to note about this spot is that it is CASH ONLY and there is no ATM in the restaurant. The nearest one is at the London Drugs about 2 blocks away.
  
  Thank you for fixing my craving and for the delicious banh mis, Banh Mi Saigon! I will for sure be back!

  The first thing you notice when you walk in is the smell of fresh baked bread. We came here Saturday around noon and it was packed! There is limited seating around 3 tables but most customers take it to go. Most banh mi cost around $5.50. I ordered the lemon grass chicken banh mi and it was delicious the baguette was crispy on the outside and soft in the inside and carried the flavours nicely. I really enjoyed the cucumber and the cilantro added a freshness.
  
  I can see why this place is so popular.

  Delicious bánh mì sandwiches! I ordered their house special, đc bit, because it was my first time visiting this place, and it is a good way to judge a bánh mì place if it's good. I arrived at 2:30 pm on a weekday, and it wasn't busy at all -- I was the only person in the shop. I was delighted to see that the staff would make the sandwiches in front of you.
  
  The room temperature bread had a crackly snap, chewy, and it tasted like it was baked on the same day in the morning. Sauce wise, there was a good amount of pâté and mayo, as they didn't put too much or too less. I would have preferred more veggies (shredded carrots and daikon radish), and the Vietnamese meats in the sandwich were just tasty.
  
  The price at $5.50 for a bánh mì is about right for this neighbourhood and there were plenty of free parking beside the shop.

  I've had many Vietnamese sub from different restaurants in Vancouver and I think this place is the best. Fresh ingredients. Delicious bread. Prompt service. Reasonable price. Must order their #1 special sub!

  probably one of the best banh mi shops in Vancouver because I loveee the bread, it's soo chewy which i like ! However, i'm docking off one star because of the poor service. Every sandwich and banh mi's shops I can possibly think of WILL cut your sandwich in half. I understand that it's busy and hectic but considering it's a sandwich shop , they should easily cut the bread in half .
  
  My fav banh mi to order from here is the special ($5.50 i believe) which consists of the different meats, ham , meat balls, pate , & the usual veggies. Their desserts are also pretty good , and pate chaud / banh pate so!! That pate so pastry is sooo good. Give it a try if you haven't!
