Banh Mi Bar in New Westminster

Worst Vietnamese food I ve ever had!! The banh mi pork sandwich barley had any meat on it and they put some sort of spreadable meat on the bottom. Not what I was expecting!! Very disappointing!! Food

Delicious banh mi on fresh baguette. Served toasted so its warm and crispy. Ingredients are high quality and the owner is very friendly and welcoming.

The ultimate meat lover is a great bahn mi, paired with the Vietnamese coffee you can t go wrong! Ingredients are fresh, prices are affordable, and it s local highly recommended!

Delicious and so cheap!

My favorite Banh Mi in New West.

Stop by during my break, Loved the sandwiches!

Went here pre covid, early covid, and visited again today. Its still the best banh mi for me. Bread is soft inside yet crispy outside. Salad roll is also big. Had a salad roll with a sandwich, and it is very fulfilling.

This is the best Lemon Grass chicken Banh mi Ive ever had :) amazing

I get the vegan lemon grass chicken sandwich from here. The owner is great and so is the sandwich, just wish they were larger because of how tasty they are!

Dropped by last minute before the store closed, the guy still greats us with full smile.

We love Banh Mi Bar! Amazing sandwiches and salad rolls. Super fresh and tasty food. Great prices. Show them some love and grab some lunch! You won t regret it.

Very delicious vegan Banh Mi!

Staff are very friendly and helpful. Food was AMAZING!! Highly recommend the lemon chicken vegan wrap. Food

This place is the most consistently good Bahn mi Ive ever had, never had a bad experience, super speedy service.

Hands down the best bang mi Ive ever had

I order here semi-frequently. The customer service is always great, and the sandwiches are fresh and delicious I had an issue with an order, and it was taken care of right away. Gotta appreciate these guys

Got the house special banh mi as saw the numerous 5 star ratings. Banh mi was small and underwhelming, leaving much to be desired. Was not reasonably priced either, priced at $9. The shop was riddled with lots of flies and unhygienic. Its definitely far from a 5-star review, closer to 2 stars.

The best place for viet sub. Love the options for vegans too. We had the ultimate meat and the beef meat ball. Super friendly owner and hard working fella. #supportsmallbiz #hopesupwarrior

One of my favourite restaurants Amazing food and great service Food : 5/5

High quality food at a low price. The baguette tastes very fresh and crispy. The iced milk tea is also good. Pretty accessible. Within 5 min walk from the skytrain station. Would definitely go back.

Most delicious banh mi s I ve tasted! So fresh and packed with flavor. The bread is really nice and crunchy too.

Little hidden gem in New West. Good food, wish portions were bigger though but for the price- it s great.

Fantastic banh mi! The baguette is so crispy and perfect! Everything is fresh and fast

With most reviews I will preface and say I am not of this background. From an outsiders view though, the food is great. The sandwhiches are not too salty as I find a lot are. The bread is a thin crispy outside with soft inside. I think the milk tea was excellent however, not too sweet. And I have never tasted any like this really..not sure if its Viet specific or this store does a good job..

You could sell a lot more banh mi if you extended your hours to cover dinner rush.

Very yummy! 10/10. They recommended the hoisin and it was a great addition!

We ordered Lemon grass grilled pork and the house special and its super delicious! Their vietnamese coffee and salad rolls is a must try too! To add to that customer service is excellent!

Super friendly service and tasty banh mi. I always get sandwiches for my tattoo appointment near by and they are delicious. Incredible salad rolls too. Highly recommend!!

i ve had this place saved for a while because of its good reviews and closeness to my college and i decided to check it out after my afternoon class today. it s a small, quaint hole-in-the-wall place but the worker was very friendly. i decided on the house special pork banh mi with jalapeño and it was absolutely delicious with a great portion for under $10! i could definitely see myself coming back again, it s a real hidden gem.

The vegan BBQ beef bahn mi is incredible! I also love the salad rolls. The first time I got two because I thought one would leave me hungry but they are really substantial and full of good food, not just rice noodles. A sandwich and a Vietnamese iced coffee for less than $15? Yes! Vegetarian options: Three different vegan bahn mi choices and two vegan salad roll options

Some of the best banh mi Ive ever had! Quickly became one of my favourite places in New West to grab a bite to eat.

Delicious and well priced. Usually get the house special.

Small Walk-in, small business... BIG hearts and BIG flavour! I get the vegan option lemon grass chicken and it is SOO GOOD! Thank you so much for being so yummy!

Please support local and buy some fresh banh mi s from this GEM of a shop!

Bahn Mi Bar serves the best bahn mi that I ever had. Crispy but easy to bite bread together with the savory and rich filling. The owners are super nice. Worth a try and you must love it!

Perfect bun and tasty filling. Great customer service, super friendly.

Best banh mi! Very authentic and flavourful.

The grilled cheese is AMAZING

Banh Mi Bar never disappoints Wide array of vegan and non-vegan banh mi s and rolls. Every time I visit, many of their items are sold out. Rolls are thicker than any other place I ve been to. Great place to satisfy your banh mi or salad roll cravings

Lemon grass chicken and house special banh mi are great! Friendly service as well.

Great gem hidden in new west. Excellent banh mis at great prices. Highly recommend

Very well executed banh mi and fast service. A good example of a simple dish done well. Very limited seating.

Recommend it!

It doesnt look like much, but the place is great! Fresh ingredients, good bread, real vietnamese cafe (no powder!). Plus prices are fair. The owner is very friendly. Perfect to grab your lunch.

Best Banh Mi, worth going out of your way for! Multiple excellent vegan options to boot, I eat meat, but the vegan lemongrass chkn is worth it no matter what your diet preferences.

Very Good sandwiches with super affordable prices! Always tastes Fresh and I love the variety on offer as I am always mixing it up. The service is also super fast even during busy times. The Place is very small though so maybe not the best option if you are looking for a comfy dine in location, but otherwise a gold standard in price to quality ratio in Downtown New West.

Amazing banh mi at an amazing price! The staff is very friendly as well. Highly recommend the House Special!

Crunchy and fresh bread which is difficult to find, super filled out and good flavour. Prices are good and definitely worth for the amount of food. Staff very friendly.

Yummy! Probably one of the best banh mi I have ever tried. We had lemon glass chicken, cold cut, and house special and all were really good. I did not even peep inside to see what s in it. It just tasted good! Quick serve from nice friendly staff!

Tasty! Love the sandwiches!

Tiny shop takeout style. No frills sandwiches just what I need! $7.5-$8 gets you a crispy sandwich. Better eat it while warm! Can t go wrong with the house special.

Best Banh Mi in the area. The salad rolls are great too!

Fast and friendly service and excellent sandwiches. A gem in New Westminster

The food is outrageously good. Youre probably not staying here to eat, but who honestly cares about that, grab the food and continue on. Fast service even when its crazy busy. Lots of vegan options, some plain and unique beverages, no alcohol, and always smiling faces. I think no matter how many people know about it, it will always feel like a hidden gem.

Top tier bahn mi. Visiting from out of country and a huge bahn mi enthusiast. I will be back whenever I visit again!

Great service, salad roll was huge

Incredible Banh Mi restaurant. The food is always delicious and filling. The owner is super nice too!

Good quality. Great service

Fantastic food, fast takeout, friendly staff. Great place for lunch on the go.

A nice little spot for a good viet sub. Its a small little shop with a variety of options. Great price and super quick service! Tried the lemongrass chicken bahn mi this time - Ill be back to try more!

10/10 recommend. I wish I tried this sooner, lots of vegan/vegetarian options; I love the vegan lemon grass bahn mi & salad rolls, the bahn mi is loaded with veggies and it s the perfect amount of spicy. Super friendly service too.

Ive always enjoyed coming here however my last order, I asked for not spicy and it was spicy. I called to inquire and left a voicemail. I have not received a phone call back.

Delicious banh-mi , friendly staffs and fast service. That s all you need and this place has it all. Love it! Recommend: Meat Lover, Cold Cut and Pork Patty banh mi

The house special banh mi is nice and fresh, lemongrass is great and the owner is a very kind man which is a bonus. Not to mention the prices are great, $10 for a filling sandwich. Highly recommend this place!

Me and my partner got sick after eating this, stomach pain and diarrhea which lasted the whole day. Think the prices are low but the quality of meat is lacking

The only way eating at the banh mi bar could be better is if it was located right next to a beach... and it was open at 2am. The sandwiches are delicious (house special is my favourite for the deli and paté but grilled pork is awesome too) the price is unbeatable. If i worked next door, i wouldnt ever bother making my own lunch.

It was surprisingly good and great value as well. Will go again. Thank you

Easily the best Bahn mi Ive had, they are friendly and are fast. Id recommend this place to anyone. The Viet coffee is really good too especially if your a coffee drinker. The sugar cane juice is out of bounds which is probably why it sells out fast haha. All of the Bahn mi options are really good, if youre new to Bahn mi the house special or the lemon grass chicken are really good options to start.

Excellent bahn mi. The bread is fresh and the ratio of meat and veggies is perfect. Very fast and friendly.

Best Bahn Mi Ive had ever.

Great selection of subs and they taste great

They were very nice and made sure everything was perfect :) banh mi was very tasty. I also got the Vietnamese coffee and mango pudding which were really yummy too. Perfect place for a quick meal and for a great value

I ve had many banh mi sandwiches before but this place is pretty good! I agree with the rest of the reviews saying their buns are fresh and flavours are well balanced. The mango pudding was delightfully delicious as well. Only complaint would be the ambiance. They had a really loud crackly speaker on with radio that made hearing the staff and ordering a bit difficult.

Um, yum!!!! I see the cravings beginning now. Incredible rolls. Im envious of anyone who has daily access to this place.

Great subs , friendly staff. House special is bomb

First visit to this hole in a wall shop. Ive tried every banh mi/vietnamese restaurant in new west as ive been working in this city for 16 plus years. Tried lemon grass chicken, pork, their pork and vege vermicelli box meal as well. HONESTLY their taste is unique to rest of 7 other vietnamese eateries in New West. Reason why i didnt give a 5 stars is because the meat proportion is a tad less than other places BUT the price is absolutely spot-on. Price is great, service is amazing and the owner is a very friendly. Their ice vietnamese coffee is very strong! Its a good thing.

Delicious and convenient Bahn mi. They can get pretty busy so get in early, or call ahead for pick up! They offer a few different vegetarian options. My favorite is the veggie BBQ pork. The veggie lemongrass chicken is also quite good.

Could not be nicer people working there. Accommodated a last minute order even though I forgot to call ahead. Not to mention the sandwiches are delicious and affordable. If you havent tried it you need to go ASAP!

Name name

So good! Wonderful owner. I got the Vegan bhan mi

Healthy and delicious!

So, so good - big portion, fresh bread, great pickled veg. I ve tried both the meat and vegan options and both have satisfied. Great prices, very much a little hole in the wall kind of vibe inside. Get there early as they tend to sell out of a lot by the afternoon! Vietnamese iced coffee is great too. On my way to becoming a regular here!

Probably been a good six years or so since I first tried Banh Mi Bar in New West. Their menu seems a bit limited compared to what it used to be but they still have some good offerings like their House Special.

If you like veggie, add 50cents for extra. Worth it!!

Amazing bahn mi and iced coffee was perfect. Everything delicious

Authentic and delicious

I am a regular here and their sandwiches are always delicious and they stuffed it with so much goodies inside. I ordered the sandwiches for my sons bday and they were also a hit with my friends.

Really good vegan sandwich (BBQ) and good Vietnamese iced coffee, however I think I got caffeine overload from it.

Their Vegan Salad rolls are amazing. Friendly and quick service. A New West favourite.

Love the staff here prices have gone up thankfully, I never want to see mom and pop shops have difficulty keeping quality products and good staff.

I love the pork patty. The bread its self is not my favourite but 5 stars for excellent customer service.

Loved my house special sandwich and iced coffee! Perfect lunch! Will return soon!

Excellent Sandwich! I had the House Special. Very tasty and fresh. If I am in New West around lunch time, thats the spot for me.

Great banh mi here. Fast service and the price is really good.

Came by the area for nostalgic reasons and decided to try it out after reading the positive reviews. The House Special was delicious, as was the Iced Vietnamese Coffee. The service was also friendly and warm. Definitely recommend it!

House Special Banh Mi is delicious. So tasty that my cat repeatedly tried to steal a bite. My cat approves!

Youd never expect a fresh bread roll and fresh ingredients to make such an impact on a sandwich but man is this a good sandwich place. Its so simple and a small menu so all items are of highest quality and taste. This is the Vietnamese version of Meat and Bread downtown which is one of my favorite lunch spots in Vancouver.

Ive been hearing good things about this places for ages. It did not disappoint. The bread on their sandwiches is so crisp. The lemongrass pork banh mi is awesome. It wasnt busy when I went, but then again I got there close to 2pm.

Its affordable and has good vegan options!!

Stumbled upon this little gem while passing through New West. I got 2 of their vegan salad rolls, both were 10/10, but I did prefer the vegan beef roll made of marinated soy protein. My gf got the lemongrass pork banh mi and said it had lots of great flavours. Lastly, the gentleman at the counter was very friendly and efficient. We will 100% come back the next time we are in New West.

Great food, friendly staff.

The shrimp roll was delicious best Ive had anywhere.

First time trying it. Fresh salad rolls and fresh Banh Mi, fast service and super friendly employees. Great customer service for a yummy and fast meal. Reasonably priced.

One of the best banh mi s in Vancouver! Amazing little friendly joint, surprisingly amazing. Love hole in the walls

Fresh buns and flavourful banh mi! The lemon grass chicken was filled with sauce and flavour. The bread was the perfect texture of crunch and softeness. And the owners are incredible and very sweet.

Simply the very best.

Banh Mi and rolls are so delicious The very best!

Owner is very friendly. The banh mi is good and fresh. Would recommend :)

Yummy food, good prices, friendly service, ready fast! I had the house special, quite tasty.

Best banh mi Ive ever had! I always order the same house special and love it everytime. Theyre super friendly and the food is consistently delicious amazing little local place for a perfect lunch

Great food and service! Best subs in New West. Go for the house special.

Staff are very welcoming and nice, and most importantly the food is fresh and delicious, love their sandwiches!

Did not disappoint!! Crunchy, soft French bread with fresh and flavourful ingredients. The staff (maybe owners?) were great. The team behind the counter are great too. We ordered the house special and the chicken banh mi. The house special was our favourite of today s choices. We also tried the iced coffee and found it a bit on the bitter side so it either needed more condensed milk or a less bitter bean needs to be brewed.

love this place, my go to for bahn mi. this little store has excellent sandwiches with the freshest bread and excellent toppings in both quality and quantity. very fair pricing and terrific customer service to boot. dont forget to get your card punched on your way out as you ll surely be returning for more

Have loved this place for years.

Very tasty!

The chicken sub freaking rocks!!!!!

Just so good. You have to try it

excellent banh mi in new west is quite a treat!

I highly recommend the vegan BBQ beef! Dont need to get meat for it to taste good. I really like it with a lil bit of Hoisin and Sriracha . I also tried the Vietnamese coffee with condensed milk but it was a bit bitter for me. But overall, the food is great with the price you pay. Definitely going back again next week.

Very disorganized Got there and there is a long line outside, due to the young guy at the counter being not with it. He s wearing gloves but touching everything from door to cash register, so we left. Food might be good but we wouldn t know.

House special banh mi totally worth! I also tried their viet iced coffee; it could probably be a taaadd less sweet but tasted great as a refresher on my bike ride. Check this place out!

Good fast food.

I used to live in the neighborhood before life became complicated. During certain periods of my research I found the need to grab what was ever close. I wanted to quickly be back home at work alongside my dear friend Kelloggs, and had no time to waste. Eventually I became sick of the options. Then I found this place. Im going to be honest, this was the first and only Banh Mi I had tried at the time. I chose the shrimp and pork patty I believe. The workers could not have been friendlier. I hurried home to my study, and began to unravel my sandwich. By the first bite into the fresh and crispy bread I was transported into a country I had never been. Flavors I had never known. Some might call this a religious experience, but as a person who studies the metaphysical and paranormal I had other notions. Truly a spectacular restaurant. If you, like me, have never had Banh Mi, then it is my professional advice that you start here. Every other place I have tried since has yet to deliver such euphoria.

The freshest and tastiest banh mis around! Very friendly staff!

Took longer than expected to make. Bun was overheated so way too dry

Really yummy sandwiches and salad rolls.

Always delicious!

The best damn subs Ive ever eaten! 5 stars all the way. Great little hidden gem in new west :)

Great subs on par with Banh Mi Saigon! They accept card, which makes life easier and safer during Covid.

Excellent! Baguette was fresh, light, and crispy. Decent fillings. Friendly service to top it off!

The cold cut sandwiches were decent however was disappointed they got my order wrong even though I repeatedly told them while I was there to make sure no peppers on 1 of the 5 sandwiches I ordered.

Hands down the best Banh Mis in the Lower Mainland. Ive been eating Viet subs for like 15 years since I discovered them, these guys are top 3 for sure

Salad roll tasted fresh, nice sandwich.

Best viet sub in the lower mainland!

Definitely solid banh mi here, best in New west for sure. Love that they have a variety of vegan options now, my husband loves the vegan lemongrass chicken, and I love the special. Good friendly service too.

A total gem in New Westminster! All the foodies here know about this place. The owner is so friendly and the bahn mis here are the bomb. The baguette is unparalleled! So fresh and fluffy and crispy. Unique flavors in their fillings and its all enveloped with a yummy creamy mayo. Vegan options available :) Love it here!

Takeout only. House Special with warm crispy baguette and iced Vietnamese coffee make a perfect combo!

Crisp baguette. I liked it. They had option for student.

Are you kidding me ? The owner is awesome! Go chat ! Enjoy the subs(grilled pork or house special) Its tiny and sooo good ! Go say Hi. Brock.

Beyond reasoning and without a doubt the best banh mis Ive ever had

The food is amazing and they have lots of vegan options. The staff is always very friendly! Go!

They have an amazing vegan selection now! I went for the first time in years and tried their delicious vegan chicken banh mi. SO GOOD

Good banh mi and good price

Best bahn mi Ive ever had. Their salad rolls are also excellent. I wish I could eat both at the same time but my stomach isnt big enough :(

Their vegan Banh Mi is amazing. Get it with jalapenos and load it with hoisin sauce. Youre welcome

Was closed when it said open. Liar.

Best banh mis Ive had. Staff are always friendly and the service is quick. Craving one as a type this tbh.

Mmmmmmm so good the best house special sub

I stop by often for lunch. Small store, but really nice owners and great sandwiches. I get the bun only lightly toasted because I dont like it too crunchy. Try the iced coffee as well if you want a nice sweet treat!

The vegan spring rolls with tofu and the delicious peanut sauce are AMAZING! I became addicted after they were brought to a meeting at the hospital. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Great sandwiches! Love the new grilled pork bang mi. Also a big fan of the salad rolls. Cant say enough about how nice they are as well.

Good value and delicious food. Owner and staff are also very friendly - its a pleasure to come here and grab a quick bite to eat.

The Bahn mi s here are so incredibly good I almost want to move back to New West if only just to be closer to them. They are delicious, full of fresh ingredients, and have a very satisfying bite.

Great service, always fresh food. I drive out of my way to grab a bite to eat here. Highly reccomended!

Great banh mi! Lowest price in the area. You really get more than what you pay for

Definitely lived up to the hype!!

6/5 for food. Definitely know what they are doing. Best banh mi Ive had. Flavour is great. Perfect balance of crunch to juicy meats and fresh veggies. 2/5 for cleanliness and decor. the place isnt the cleanest. Lots of flies everywhere. Counted like 30 in the 5 minutes I waited for my food. Although their preparation surfaces and appliances looked clean. Overall 4/5 because thats how good the food is. Would come back again for the delicious banh mi as the risk of getting some flies with my food.

Family run and you can tell the love what they do! The sandwiches are incredible and there isnt a better place to get a quick lunch in New West. You must go here.

Our go to Vietnamese sandwich in the neighbourhood. Great flavours, crispy, soft bread. More expensive than other Vietnamese sandwiches places we go to in Vancouver but its close and local. The owners are super nice. Dont forget to ask for a stamp card.

Bahn Mi so good it got me pregnant and then delivered the baby

This Banh Mi hits like George Foreman

Absolutely love the banh mis here. Bread is crispy on the outside (but not so hard as to hurt the gums) and soft on the inside. The sauce is not overpowering and is the right combination of mayo and other sauces. Our previous favourite banh mi place was Viet Sub downtown but this place is better.

Super friendly staff and great Bahn mi at good prices. What else could you want?! Also super plus is they offer vegan mayo!!!

Very yummy banh mi and friendly service! Will be coming here more often to satisfy my banh mi cravings

My second time here. Fantastic service, very accommodating to specific sandwich requests. Very friendly and the food was deliciously devoured not far from the shop. Crispy delicious perfection! Highly recommended

Very friendly service and delicious food at great prices. Also offers vegan options!

Absolute hidden gem of new west. They have great subs, homemade desserts and the absolute best huge house special noodle salad box. I ve tried several items here. Not only that but customer service is unmatched, one time I went to pick up my order and pay using the POS system, the machine froze and while we were waiting for it to refresh the owner apologized at least 3 times and then gave me 2 free drinks with my order which wasn t necessary at all. Price is unbelievable, I wish I found this place earlier.

Amazing place to get a Banh Mi. The owner is such a friendly welcoming guy and a pleasure to deal with. By now I have tried almost everything on the menu and its all delicious! Highly recommend giving them a try.

Strengths: Great flavours for the bang mi I ordered. They were very liberal with the pate and I loved it. The mango pudding was very tasty or so my wife and son informed me. I loved the Vietnamese ice coffee. Weakness: My wife was not a fan of the curry flavour on th chicken Bang mi.

Very good Vietnamese subs for about 5-6 dollars each.

Amazing little hole in the wall for Banh Mi. Fast & friendly service. Delicious large sandwiches for a fair price. While there are a few seats to eat in, this is more of a take out place. The cold Vietnamese coffee is decent, with a nice balance of bitter & sweet.

Best vegetarian Banh Mi sandwich anywhere.

Ver average Vietnamese sandwich. I came only because of a friend recommendation. It was very disappointing.

Inexpensive, well made banh mi sandwiches. Great bread.

Had a delicious dessert. My husband had a sandwich and it was also very good.

Best Banh Mi in New West

Reliable, fresh, tasty sandwiches - great for my lunch break. Good price point for the area.

Nice crunch bread, had the house special- jalapeños added a nice spicy kick to the sub. Can t wait to try other subs. Very very friendly staff. How can you not want to support them. My new favourite lunch spot!

mmm. the bread and veggies are sooo crunchy, fresh, and refreshing. The tofu isnt weird meat imitation, just deliciously marinated. Salad roll with peanut sauce is also wonderful. Good thing they have a punch card so my sub habit earns me a bonus sub ;). the best bahn mi around.

Amazing price and food. Also great service, highly recommend visiting!

Good food and good friendly service!

Small place but their Sandwiches are excellent.

Bit pricey but good fresh sandwich always
