Very friendly staff what seemed like Mother and daughter working here. They had ran out of lemongrass chicken for a banh minh so I want for the Pho and asked for a little extra beef and they sure did they deliver! I asked for some extra lemon too and once again not sting and were overly generous. Dropped one star as they dont provide silverware to eat and very hard to eat with a carboard spoon so i actually used my own silver spoon which had sentimental value but then left it there by accident. I called over the next few days at different times but no one ever picked up the phone. Quite disappointing as I dont live nearby and wanted go come and collect it.

This place is the best. Routinely fantastic banh mi and customer service. Prices are more than reasonable with generous portions and staff are always super friendly. Further they offer a large variety of juices and cold drinks to beat a hot day at the same exceptional standard as the banh mi. I've been here a few times and I always leave happy and satisfied. Locals also know this is THE spot for a delicious fulfilling lunch so it may be best to get in before the lunch rush but nevertheless the staff always do an amazing job keeping wait times short and the customer experience fantastic. Thoroughly recommend of you find yourself hungry and in the Newtown area.

I live in the Inner West so I'm spoiled for choice when it comes to banh mi. I've eaten here at least 20 times and this place is definitely up there. The cracking pork is a generous serving, well seasoned with plenty of crispy crackling. The bread is fresh, soft inside and perfectly thin crunchy outside so it doesn't cut up your mouth. Sauce, mayo, and salad are all top tier. Honestly couldn’t fault it.

Cheap and cheerful Banh Mi and fresh juice joint. Smells like fresh fruit when you walk in as the juicer is constantly running! Great spot for a fresh juice and takeaway roll ($10). Freshly squeezed juice with pineapple, apple and mint was tasty. Next time I’ll ask for ice added as it wasn’t cold. Traditional pork roll was a large portion & great value. It was also stuffed with roast pork alongside the usual pork luncheon. Will return!

Bruh! This combination pork sandwich has at least twice the meat of a typical one you find elsewhere. There is so much meat it invaded the space for salad. If you like a refreshing bánh mì just steer away cause this is made for the meatlovers!

Ordered a crackling pork banh mi: A lot of stuffing, heaps of pate. Also ordred mixed rice paper rolls: fresh ingredients, big portion and tasty hoisin sauce (peanut based). Staff was very friendly and service was efficient.
