This place was really delicious and affordable. The traditional Banh Mi was perfect. The bread was not toasted crispy where it tears the roof of your mouth and not over-whelming that it compromises your carb intake. There was a lot of meat inside and the veggies were perfectly marinated. The 5 Spice Pork bun was also flavorful. Perfectly cooked. The host was right there aces ready as soon as we walked up and offer spice options as they were available. The place is above Five Guys on Yonge Street and was very bright. It had 18 Feet Cafe in there sharing the space with a beautiful barista. Overall, a great experience and delicious food. read more

Always a winner with any items you select. Ordered my mom a grilled pork banh mi and she thoroughly enjoyed it for the hot meats, considering most banh mi places often serves their banh mi cold. Highly recommended. $9, fresh, hot, tasty. read more

Enjoyed the banh mi -- it was fresh, flavorful, and filling! Super great deal for the price. Would recommend for a quick and healthy-ish lunch. I got the pork banh mi and it was not dry at all! Unfortunately the sweet potato fries were soggy (maybe because I got delivery?) and didn't come with the sauce like I expected, so I'd skip those next time. read more

Five-Spice Pork Belly Vietnamese Sandwich (Yonge & Dundas Location, Toronto) Tried this sandwich during my lunch break from work (office near Queen Street West, ~15 mins away). The shop is one of three locations in Toronto. Price: Around $9.75 -- good value for what you get. About the Sandwich: Ordered the Five-Spice Pork Belly Vietnamese sandwich. Toppings included: Yellow radish Cucumbers Pickled carrots Cilantro Mayo "Luck" sauce Quite flavourful and refreshing -- an ideal choice for a quick lunch esp. during hot summer days when you don't feel like eating hot noodles. Tips: The shop is quite small, so takeout is recommended. If you prefer to dine in, arrive before 12 PM to avoid the lunch rush. read more

Banh mi with a twist Food: Ordered take out with my co-workers for a weekday lunch. The flavour of the braised beef was way too salty and the ratio of all the ingredients was off, with a small portion of beef and too much carrot. This made the balance of the sandwich off, and I was quite hungry shortly after. The bun was also very soggy from the sauce and the beef drippings, making for a subpar lunch. It might be better if eating at the restaurant. Service: The staff had our order ready for pick-up. read more

Fresh, crisp bread. Juicy filling. Refreshing pickled veggies. The bahn mi was excellent. For $9, this sandwich is a great deal and the perfect cheap lunch eat. I enjoyed the lemongrass tofu sandwich. The tofu was soft which paired nicely against the crispy carrots and daikon. They prepared the sandwich quick. Definitely a popular spot. While enjoying our sandwiches there, many people came in and out. So good! read more

Really nice bahn mi sandwiches and great flavor! I wish they didn't have a lot of flies in the restaurant but what can you do. We order the Korean beef and 5 spice pork bahn mi. Our total was about 30$. We would totally go back for their bahn mis. They do have a bathroom but it's kind of dirty. They have some booth seating available. read more

Banh Mi Boys - Beef and pork Banh mi - Vietnamese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Vietnamese food with a Canadian twist. This is one of the first restaurants I tried while visiting Toronto and it was honestly ok. The food is affordable and they give a good portion. The food tastes a little soggy...I would suggest exploring other places. read more

Good place for a quick bite of banh mi in Toronto. I tried their grilled pork banh mi to-go and the food was good overall. Bread did not get hard over time which was nice. Portion size is good for lunch and fair prices. Service was quick and food was prepared within 5-10 minutes. Ambiance is okay, there is some seating inside but most people seem to take out here. read more

If you want a quick, cheap meal, Banh Mi Boys accomplishes what you're after, but I don't really know if it's the place I'd recommend for a foodie looking for an outstanding meal. It's pretty similar to other banh mi places I've been to before. read more

Banh Mi Boys - Squid banh mi - Vietnamese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Love their bahn mi and this place deserves all the recognition. You can tell their food is good because when I went with my friends, this place was decently packed, limited seating but thats okay because the food was great. So cheap too and they packed a lot of meat into their bahn mi. I would definitely come here again anytime I come to visit Toronto, and luckily this restaurant is located in the downtown area which makes it a very easy go to spot if you want something filling and cheap. read more

Banh Mi Boys is a reliable favourite. Between the elevated banh mis and unique Kimchi fries, they serve some of the best Asian fusion fast food around, and at very reasonable prices as well! read more

Banh Mi Boys - Vietnamese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

If you can believe it, Banh Mi Boys popped onto the TO food scene a decade ago. Their myriad of affordable offerings include banh mi, tacos, steamed bao and of course kimchi fries! It's been years and the taste is as good as ever. Kimchi fries' served warm smothered under pulled pork, fresh kimchi, scallions, mayo. The huge box is huge as a perfect lunch fill-up or late night snack. Add jalapeño as I did if you like a bit of extra heat. The Boys' banh mi is nothing to scoff at either: it's among the best in the city! 5 spice pork belly is the most popular. This time, I opted for grilled pork. Its lemongrass flavour melded perfectly with sweet pickled carrots, cilantro & spicy mayo in fresh baguette. read more

It pains me to update this review to 2 stars but WHAT THE F**K? The squid in our taco was GREEN!!!! Husband and I ate over half of it before realizing the "off" colour. Now we're playing the waiting game of whether or not we'll die from food poisoning :/ On top of that, everything was extremely salty to the point of being inedible, and the fries in the kimchi fries were undercooked. To boot, the portion was extremely chincy but I guess it's just as well considering it was all inedible anyways? Big yikes, Banh Mi Boys!!! I've always held you guys in high regard. You've been my go-to take out joint for like 10 years. It's sad to think this era may now come to an end. Ain't nobody got time for gross, salty, rotten food. Take out is a luxury in our house, and a thing we do maybe once a month. I don't see us coming back here any time soon, which is so sad. The solid, tasty, reliable and reasonably priced restaurants in Toronto are dwindling by the day. I can replicate most things at home now for a fraction of the price of take-out. Sad..... :( read more

Awesome place. Kimchi fries are outstanding. Service was a bit slow but overall great place

Awesome quick lunch banh mi shop! Grabbed a quick lunch while at work downtown here and it was awesome! I ordered quickly via the screen in the little restaurant and within a few minutes a huge banh mi sandwich came out. I got the 5 spice pork belly and it was a lot of great, lean, flavorful pork on a nice fluffy roll with a great sauce and some veggies. Plus it was quite cheap! read more

tried their pork belly banh mi and it was flavourful and good. Just wished there was more meat to it and the baguette a bit crispier! Added it in as a combo and got fries and drink with everything coming under 15$. price is pretty steep for a banh mi when i can get one at an authentic banh mi place for under 5$, but worth a try if you want other meats other than the cold cuts banh mi typically has! read more

Came here on a food tour, the coworkers really enjoyed, my allergies didn't allow me to try the entire sandy, but the meat was super flavorful. HUGE portion so if you're only mildly hungry you're going to be stuffed. Great little spot with cool vibes. read more

Ordered a grilled chicken and a pork belly banh mi sandwich. First of all, the bread, suppose to be baguette style that has a nice crunch to it was nowhere to be found. Instead, it was chewy, stale and cold. The proteins we rather bland and lacked quantity as well. Both ends of the sandwiches were left bare with at least 2 inches of just bread. Now the service, ordered online and came in to pick up and the store was empty, the young kid didn't say a word and just raised his chin as if to say wassup. Take care. Complacency kills... read more

I had high hopes for this after seeing the menu but it was just ok. The kimchi fries didn't have much flavor. The bbq pork bao was good but nothing spectacular. The bahn mi was okay too. Overall things were ok but nothing great enough to make me go back. read more

Its a small shop. It was pretty busy when I got there. I ordered the 5 spice pork belly banh mi. You can choose it as a bao if you'd like instead of banh mi. Food took about 5 mins. The banh mi was soo good and tasted so fresh. It didnt feel so heavy eating it. It felt like I was eating a salad. Loved it! I could eat the entire thing and not feel bloated. read more

Not sure if this is a one off thing but I always enjoyed Banh Mi Boys. But can't say the same thing when I went today. Ordered 3 Steamed Baos - Five Spice Pork Belly/Fried Chicken & Braised Beef. Both Pork Belly and Beef were dry af and the pork has a weird taste. The fried chicken was already soggy when I went home. Considering my place is just less than 5 mins from BMB, this shouldn't have caused the sogginess but rather how they wrap the food tightly. Overall I didn't really enjoyed the Baos and would think twice before coming back here again. read more

Great banh mi. Seems more of a modern approach to banh mis. The bread was a lot more softer than am used too, but still good. Beef was great as was the pork belly. Bao bun was great, chicken very flavorful. Didn't get to try the fries but was curious. Dining room needed the tables wiped down. read more

Great sandwiches. Bread was a little softer than I'm used to on Vietnamese sandwiches but great regardless. Preferred the pork belly over the Kalbi beef - but the beef was still very good regardless. Fried chicken bao was great too, very flavourful. Seemed to be a popular spot. Tables needed wiping down. Ambiance was so-so. read more

Banh Mi Boys is a signature Toronto food spot that anyone visiting the city should visit. I come here regularly when i go to the city. Their kimchi fries is bomb but this time i got their chicken banh mi which is equally good! Filled with sweet saucey grilled chicken with pickled carrots and radish with some cilantro. Tastes so good that you'd want more! read more

We had a quick bite at Banh Mi Boys as it was conveniently located near our hotel. The menu is a decent size, and you purchase the Banh Mi sandwiches separate from the sides. The prices are okay for the portion, however it would be nice if the sandwiches came with a little more of the vegetable slaw toppings, as the bun to topping ratio was a little much. Our sandwiches came out quickly and were warm. We tried one each; I went with the Spicy Pork Belly Banh Mi, and my significant other chose the Squid. My sandwich was really good; the flavors were fresh and delicious. I went with the medium spicy, which was a spicy sauce. It was just enough spice for me. I would have liked to see more of the slaw/toppings on the sandwich. My significant other's Squid Banh Mi was also very good, and he went with the spicy option of adding jalapenos. He also wished for a little more of the toppings. Banh Mi Boys was good for a quick counter service option to dine in or take out. My only issue was probably the cleanliness of the place; there was food on the floors and crumbs on the tables, and the garbage was overflowing. The kitchen looked clean and our food was good, but with the lack of cleanliness in the dining area, it was hard not to feel a little put off. read more

Banh Mi Boys - Grilled pork banh mi - Vietnamese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Amazing vegan sandwich with no issues holding back on flavor and spice! Fast and easy!

I would say closer to 3.75. for this price point its a good pick up. It's not the flavor that is lacking. I feel it is a little too flavorful that it becomes salty. I had the pork and chicken sandwiches with medium spice. The protein to picked veggies was also a good ratio The kimchee fries was also a great deal but the mayo made it a little to rich and heavy for me. The flavor again was there. They are very generous with the fries and pulled pork. I wish it had more kimchee. I came during the snow stormy yesterday so it might have effected the taste. I would go back hopefully it's not as salty read more

Yeah, no. Got the tofu bao and tofu kimchi fries. Tofu bao was soft with a crunchy bite, but had no flavour, just a smidge of sriracha with bland veggies and no other sauce. The fries were worse, all soggy even though I had them right away, with messily thrown around kimchi and tofu without any effort to make all the elements actually go together. For 14 dollars, you can get a better eat at a fast food place. read more

This place only have a few tables and I can see it being busy during peak times. What I've tried: - Club banh mi (secret menu item) - half fried chicken and half pork belly, you get best of both worlds if you can't decide what to get! I love the fusion flavours in the banh mi. Great balance of the fresh veggies and the savoury meats. - five spice bao - this was good, but it wasn't memorable. Bao was soft, a bit small but could be filling. I would probably stick to the banh mi. - Kimchi fries - comes with pulled pork. Not too spicy and the kimchi was not too sour. Large portions of fries! Loved this and would order again to share. Overall, great place for a quick and affordable meal. I would come back for the banh mi and kimchi fries as they were very filling. read more

Always great banh mi sandwiches at BMB! I typically order on an app and grab pickup here as they can get pretty busy. The sandwiches always taste great where you can choose from an assortment of proteins. I love the pork belly but the classic grilled chicken or pork taste good too. My favourite treat however are the baos they have here. It's the same protein choices as the banh mi sandwiches but great way to try two different ones in one meal. Lastly, I've had their kimchi fries a few times and it's also a great treat! Definitely a fan!!! read more

Banh Mi Boys is a restaurant franchise that serves a very westernized asian fusion style of banh mi, bao and taco, full of deep fried and fatty meat choices, and a very savory taste palette. Their prices are very fair and their food is very good. It's always absolutely packed, so expect to wait in line unless you order through Ritual. My go-to order is not actually their banh mi. I usually order a club bao (pork belly and fried chicken) and a second bao filled with whatever I'm feeling like getting. That's enough to fill me up. Even though their banh mi and baos are not authentic, the fusion style is something that definitely works for them. The meats are fatty in a good way, and all the ingredients just work together somehow. The mayonnaise combined with the "bite" of the pickles along with the juicy tenderness of the fatty pork belly and chicken makes for an unhealthy, but very tasty meal! Banh Mi Boys is a great fusion twist on a food that's generally served traditional. I highly recommend it if you feel like treating yourself! read more

I LOVE IT HERE. DELICIOUS baos and banh mis, these boys know how to make great sandwiches that are a mix of fusion with a kick of nostalgia. I tried their grilled pork banh mi and the braised beef steam bao. Both were full of flavour and the small accompaniments and sauces specific to each one really enhanced the asian flair. I shared these with my mom and for around $10, we had a great and delicious meal! Overall, some of the best bites I had in Toronto. read more

A four-star rating for this place doesn't mean it's the best Bahn Mi I've ever had, but it's definitely the best one I've had in downtown Toronto, so really, the stars are relative to the location. I had the grilled pork bahn mi and strongly recommend it. Flavours are rich and the service is quick, but the bun is just average. I think the trickiness to making a bahn mi comes in the marination of the meat and the crispyness of the bun. This place got the meat marination down, but maybe could up their game on the bread. Despite it all, would I come again to satisfy my bahn mi cravings? Heck yea- especially for under $8. read more

The menu has not changed for years and there is a reason for that. It is all great and I feel there is nothing that can go.
