    Haven't been in awhile and happy to report Banh Mi Boys (or as I call it, Bao Mi Boys because I prefer their baos to banh mi) is still good. Stopped by for lunch and got the bao combo which was 2 baos, fries and a drink. For the baos, I got the fried chicken and pork belly. Fried chicken was nicely crisped and juicy, pork belly was a bit too fatty and not meaty enough for me. The bao itself was as good as I remembered: fluffy yet dense, sweet yet bready, though got a bit mushy with the sauce. This location is on the second floor and has ample seating space. Automated order and payment at the counter. The kitchen is pretty quick with the service. Overall, an affordable tasty meal or snack.

    Great lunch spot if your in the Yonge/Dundas area. The pork belly bahn mi was amazing. The bread was perfect and the veggies made the sandwich super fresh! Would skip the Bao bun, the Bao did not seem fresh which threw off the entire sandwich. Located above five guys with an unassuming entrance. Inside very clean and service was fast! Pro Tip: there is a cookie business that's sells amazing treats after you enjoy your bahn mi!!

    This place was not the easiest to find given that the restaurant is actually on the second floor. There was a small door next to a weed dispensary that led up. They served Banh mi sandwiches, bao buns and tacos. For each item, you had to also specify which of the 3 posted spice levels you wanted. I went for medium which was saracha based. I grabbed a table by the windows while my order was being made. I picked up my order from the same ordering counter. The servings were generous and topped with julienned carrots and cabbage. The panko tofu bao was lightly fried and overflowed the soft bun. The pulled pork taco was juicy and savory. The siricha on both gave them each a kick in heat that was enough for me. Can't beat the price for the amount of tasty food you get.

    I love coming here for the bao sandwiches. I usually go for the fried chicken, beef or the pork belly. My personal favourite is the fried chicken. The meats are all seasoned well and the veggies add a fresh flavour in the sandwiches. The bao itself is nice and soft as well. This time I tried the bao combo which starts at $14.25 and came with two baos of choice (some are extra price), a side of choice, and a drink. Also tried the club bao which is a secret menu item that includes the pork belly added to the fried chicken bao - it was however extra price. Its was a little heavy but had good flavours. I used their new self serve kiosk to order and it was very easy to use and order. They also take orders themselves at the cash though. It's a little dark in the restaurant but there are a good amount of tables to sit at. Usually I take them to go however it's great to eat there because you can eat the food when it's still hot and fresh.

    It's hard to find a Vietnamese place which has vegan Banh Mi and this place offers one vegan and a vegetarian option and they get a star for providing that option. The individuals on the counter are quite helpful and knowledgeable for the options and were quick to tell us what is vegan and what is not. Good job. The order came in quickly. The upstairs in quite clean and neat. The place is not accessible as one has to climb up a floor. The entry to the place is quite small and almost discreet. We missed it in our way and had to turn back. The sandwich is good for vegans. The bread and tofu are the star and wish the tofu had still a lot more flavour to it. The family loved the Bao buns. The fries were really good as well. I assumed the sandwich would be reasonably priced but this is like a meal and not filling for me.

    Haven't been to Banh Mi Boys since pre-covid and completely missed this spot. I had walked over to their old location and didn't realize they had moved to Yonge and Dundas. This location is above the Five Guys and is on the second floor. Not accessible as you need to walk up the flight of stairs. It was not busy for a Saturday afternoon and we placed our order on the self checkout screen. We tried the kimchi fries and substituted with sweet potato fries for an additional charge. Some seats were dirty with crumbs of food. We managed to find a clean table though. Unfortunately have to leave one star off for cleanliness... As for the kimchi fries, it was loaded with kimchi, meat and sauce along with a generous portion of crispy sweet potato fries. It was as good as I remembered! Would I make my way to this spot just for the kimchi fries, probably not as there have been similar fries and banh mi nearby in Scarborough. However if I am in the downtown area already, this is a convenient spot for a fix.

    A fusion banh mi spot, definitely not the authentic Vietnamese restaurant. Very fast service, sandwich is made to order. They gave me too much sauce and it overpowered everything else in the sandwich, I prefer a more traditional cold cut banh mi. The tables needed to be cleaned more frequently.

    Kimchi fries were great, I thought the value was good. The quality of the ingredients are really good and they do give you a good portion of meat and sauce. I do think they need to reevaluate how they package their food. I ordered takeout and it was a 10 minute walk from where I was. By the time I picked it up the banh mi was soggy, which is the most important part of the meal. The bread has to be crispy. Also minus a star for not updating your address on multiple platforms and minus a star for not being accessible friendly.

    An order of kimchi sweet potato fries is honestly like a meal on it's own even though it's listed as a side. It's packed with goodies and sauces and every bite is so scrumptious. The veggies inside the banh mi are quite good. The meat quality can vary however. Sometimes you get meat that's super tender and cooked just right inside your baguette. Other times, you'll get a meat that is way overcooked or underdone and you end up having to spit out some gnarly pieces cuz they aren't chewable. The tacos are definitely not worth it. The tortillas dnt have the right texture and they're a lil stingy on the filling for each one. I'd say save your money for a banh mi or kimchi fries. I've also heard that you can have a different food experience depending on which location you go to (apparently there's high schoolers or uni students cooking your food at one of the locations?). I believe it's actual store owner relatives that work at this location.

    7$ standard banh mi was pretty good no complaints. they don't make them very spicy, medium was barely spicy

    Hoi Tung L.

    Food quality: The food at Banh Mi Boys are really good. I like Pulled Pork Bao especially, why? The shredded carrots and cucumber are fresh, and the sauces are rich and savory. Plus, the option to choose from three spicy levels--mild,medium or hot. I can handle medium even I am not hot chiliphile ! Service: There is only one self order machine and just like others take away fast food shop. Ambiance: It's cozy and you can watch the Dundas St view. The toilet is also very clean.

    Quality had gone way down since my last visit many years ago when Bahmi Boys were the hottest place in town for a Bahmi sandwich but not any more. Pickled carrots ratio to bread/chicken was too much. More like a pickled carrots sandwich than a grilled chicken sandwich. Supposedly my grilled chicken sandwich was not freshly grilled. Grilled flavor was non existent with chicken only slathered in salty sauce. Bread was not as fresh crispy as it should have been. Althought their side order of sweet potato fries were very good Nothing fancy, basic seating, They lost a customer, never going back. Many other bahmi sandwich places doing it right. This review should be 1 star

    The bahn mi pork belly bao sandwich is still a good value for the money. It doesn't disappoint. Every time I visit this city I make sure to drop in for lunch. There are a few small tables for dining in. You really can't go wrong. Service was good.

    Lee is the one restaurant I look forward to every Summerlicious…read more One reason is that every year they create a completely new menu instead of reusing dishes from their regular menu. As an Asian fusion restaurant, I always come curious to see what new ideas the chef has come up with. The last two Summerlicious menus disappointed me a little--they felt a bit uninspired, with dishes like the vegetable curry and croquette. This year, however, the creativity is back, and I'd happily recommend Lee's Summerlicious menu again. Fried Wild Cod The crispy cod is served in an edible crispy rice basket, making it feel like sharing bread at the start of the meal. The fish is fried perfectly with a crisp exterior and moist, flaky interior. Paired with Thai sweet chili sauce, it's light, flavorful, and great for sharing. Gazpacho Picante A refreshing take on gazpacho. The avocado gives it a smoother texture, while the hint of spice adds another layer without overpowering the chilled tomato soup. Refreshing and a great appetizer. BBQ Jerk Pork Ribs Three generous ribs--almost a main course on their own. The meat is tender while still retaining a bit of bite, similar to the texture of slow-cooked jerk chicken. The jerk seasoning is excellent, coating every bite with rich, aromatic spices. Pan Roasted Salmon The salmon is beautifully cooked with a nicely caramelized exterior while remaining juicy inside. Each accompaniment brings something different: the olive tapenade is deeply savory, the parsnip purée is smooth and slightly sweet, the lima bean adds a creamy, nutty richness, and the lemon-tomato-pepper vinaigrette brightens everything with acidity and a gentle kick. Lima Bean Succotash Probably the prettiest dish on the menu--and also the most unusual. The lima beans and peas are cooked until tender without becoming mushy. The flavors are layered, but there's a subtle bitterness throughout. After asking the chef, we learned it's the natural flavor of lima beans and was intentionally preserved as part of the dish. Fried Organic Chicken The fried chicken is juicy and tender, reminding me of Japanese karaage. It comes with two fun sauces: one is rich and spicy with a hint of coconut, while the other is a sweet pineapple-lime mayo that pairs surprisingly well with the chicken. The pandan rice, however, was fairly ordinary. The desserts are still classic Lee--beautifully plated, but the flavors are more restrained. We tried the Rhubarb Almond Frangipane Tart, Lemon Mousse Panna Cotta (our favorite), and Strawberry Raspberry Monkey Bread. This year's Summerlicious reminded me why I fell in love with Lee in the first place.

I also highly recommend the wine paring they suggest having with the salad :) Everything else on the menu was done really well. The cheeseburger spring roll was quite unique, Indo think there could've been more texturally inside the actual spring roll, it was all mush in there. Very nice ambiance, service were very attentive, I had a great time and will be back to try more items :)

With prices of an upscale dining restaurant, the service didn't feel like it matched up; it was fairly mediocre. Food was a bit of a hit or miss for us too.. Shrimp toast: fun, good texture, could taste the oiliness stronger than I expected. Paired well with the emulsion. Fun guo: super tasty, quite greasy though. I typically don't order fun guo but the texture was a delight to eat. Pork & crab siu mai: this felt like it lacked identity, not really sure I saw the vision. It just felt like curry on a siu mai lol Iberico cha siu: beautiful cut, perfectly tender, good savouriness, no complaints. R&D fried rice: my biggest letdown. Maybe my expectations were set to high. For a house special, I would expect a solid crowd-pleaser. Having each bite feeling mostly like 'crunch' is not what I think of as fried rice nor a favourite for most people. My ideal fried rice focuses on the grains of rice, with substantial bite and flavour in each spoonful. The flavour was most definitely there, don't get me wrong but it was extremely hard to eat more than a bowl. The redeeming qualities were in the flavour and cute little mushroom garden concept. If they had maybe 2x the amount of rice for the ratio of toppings and crunch, I would say this is a delicious and near perfect fried rice. Not bad, but a hefty price tag for a meal that I had really high hopes for.
