I really enjoy their Banh Mi. Due to the traffic area the staff is really trying to get you in and out as quickly as possible. The service really depends on the person at the front. Had some bad experiences, but also had some amazing one's as well. Foods ready in less than 2 minutes once at the counter. Food is always good and consistent

While Banh Mi and Banh Bao might not really excellent, I do enjoy the drinks here.

Supporting small businesses is crucial! Without it, our options might become limited to fast food, which isn't always the healthiest choice when you're on the go. The food here is cheap and convenient and I would eat here then the mainstream junk food

★★★

Got their assorted deli meat, the banh mi itself wasn’t as fluffy and fresh as expected. The veggies were fresh, but couldn’t really meats because it was overpowered by the veggies. It’s ok, not the best in the city.

I have been going to this little sandwich shop for years and absolutely love it. Their prices are still very decent considering the inflation since Covid and the quality of food you get is amazing. My husband and I always get a meatball sandwich. in the past four years of us going here this place has never been a disappointment once. Next time I go there, I’ll definitely take some pictures and add to this review. Definitely a hidden gem at Jane and Finch.

Their bánh mì is not bad but nothing special. However, the service attitude is unacceptable and indeed rude. Honestly, these ladies working here should not be in food service industry matter of fact they should stay home! RUDE RUDE RUDE

Super disappointed in the bahn mi! I got the bbq chicken and there was barely any chicken in the sandwich. The flavour was really subtle, not used to that with banh mi. The fresh rolls were good though! This is probably my first and last visit though. Not a fan of the parking lot over here.

★★★★★

Their banh mi are pretty good, loads of veggies and herbs, the liver paste and the ham tastes amazing. It's not too salty like other banh mi places at all. I would come back to try other things on the menu.

November 22, 2024

The bread is bad, unhygienic, and does not ensure food safety

August 22, 2024

The quality and quantity are too poor compared to the price, the staff attitude is too bad, as if giving alms to customers. This shop not only discriminates against Northerners but anyone who speaks Vietnamese. I advise everyone to stay away from this store so they dont lose money and get angry at themselves.

August 22, 2024

Careless and superficial attitude! Food 4/10

For the price, you wont find any better near this location. Except for the chicken couple times in a row now I have had stale chicken, couple of days old. All other sandwiches are fine.

Banh Mi Nguyen Huong or other places in the city is better. This place used to offer better quality but not anymore. Would not come back. I bought 5 banh mi, some summer rolls. The Banh Mi was not good, but if you really try then whatever right? But the summer rolls were terrible without a reasonable doubt..

Im not really a difficult person. If the food is not good but the service attitude is good then I definitely still want to come back. If you are not satisfied working there then quit. Very rude indeed. We came to shop early in the morning and then she made us very uncomfortable.

Banh my is fresh and yummy as always. Lots of Viet snacks to choose from. Highly recommend the fried banana (but other snacks like sticky rice and pandan jelly are also good!)

December 22, 2021

SCAM ALERT Not only is the staff unpleasant to deal with and are of zero help, they also scam people if you buy double meat they charge you for it and only give you the normal portion and obviously use what you paid for the other costumer than rinse and repeat with every costumer. Ungrateful. Do not recommend touching this place with a 10ft pool.

I was encountered a bad service from a rude staff at Nhu lan. The young lady seaking Viet accent ftom North VN expressed a coldness like she just had a bad day.. it s a convenient place but it is filty, inorganized and foods seem being out for a long time on shelves. Not recommend.

Terrible! The staff doesnt care if you are in line. Whom ever speaks vietnamese and could shout out loud that person gets to serve first. Theres no line up. If you speaks English too bad.

December 22, 2020

I m not Recommend this place for anyone to buy Vietnamese Sandwich and sweet desserts. First and last time . I went to this place as it bad service.The lady did such as bad service and bad attitude .and treat customer very impolite. . Nguyen Huong Vietnamese Sandwich better more than Nhu Lan Vietnamese sandwich .

Just alright. I love banh mi; like, a lot. I have eaten traditional to grilled to gourmet banh mi from Banh Mi Boys, Roses, T&T, Nations, and Gingers; Banh Mi Nguyen Huong at Spadina and Dundas is my usual go to. Positive: - freshest bread Ive ever had on a banh mi, which is a make or break - price is reasonable Negative: - homemade pickled carrots are a bit too thick and not cured long enough (no vinegary flavour) - no daikon!!? Thats a staple! - skimpy toppings with cold cuts I also had the meat cold rolls which were also just okay. Usually I have the shrimp, but the shrimp were very small compared to others I have had. I would drive the extra 5 min to Banh Mi Que Huong to try them out.

I ordered the original sandwich. (Bahn mi?) it was yum!! And Huge!! I did ask them to make it spicy but it wasnt spicy enough. Next time I go, ill be sure to ask for more spice!! The server was friendly, informative and helpful. I was introduced to many different Vietnamese style snacks that I will be trying next time!! Their rice paper rolls looked yum! Their sticky rice with pork did too. So did their daikon cake with egg. Will be trying all those!

Friendly staff, great to grab a quick bite for less than $5. You cant find that anywhere nowadays. The sandwich was excellent, the bread was not hard at all, they dont cheap on the meat, and good amount of veggies. A definite place to check out.

Small place but the baguette making area needs to clean up. Big shopping bag stores cilantro are sitting ontop of the meat. Pre-packaged prepared food does not have date on it. The drinks pre-made and stored in the fridge doesnt have an expired date. No price list other then the baguettes. They could charge whatever they want and you wouldnt know.

★★★★

Excellent local Banh Mi place. I usually buy them early morning or at lunch time. The meat is adequate and tasty and banquette is fresh. The sandwich could be bigger for the price when compared to Banh Mi Nguyen Huong which is the same price and tastes better but not convenience for travel. This place satisfies any craving for good Banh Mi, its a delightful treat.

Avoid at all cost, me and my mom had banh mi for lunch today and we both got food poisoning.

It looks nice but when you bite into it you can taste that its lacking something. Your usual banh mi usually has the butter/mayo on one side and pate on the other, but theyre all lightly spread on one side and you cant taste it. it looks nicely packed but its mainly the pickled carrots that fill it. I dont think this is normal but the meat was really dry and one of the pieces were spoiled when I got through the middle so I had to throw it out. I hope this was just a one time unlucky occurrence because I really want to believe those 4.3 stars arent just lies.
