Banh Mi Huy-Ky - Updated menu and prices 6/26/25 - new grilled pork/skewer sandwich (nem nuong) - Vietnamese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

After Rose's Vietnamese Sandwiches closed in 2022 (https://yelp.to/7e4VltXiv1), I think the years-long search for our next go-to banh mi place is over. We ordered Huy-Ky's spicy regular banh-mi and enjoyed the following--the baguette's crust was crispy and the interior airy; the pâté, veggies and cold cuts were ample and tasty; and the spiciness was the kicker! And the owner threw in a free spring roll--bonus! Definitely going back regularly... read more

Banh mi store located a block away from Gerrard Square. It's easily accessible via the 506 (college street car). Note that this place is cash only, however there is a RBC and CIBC a block away. Most of their banh mi are 5$. I had their meatball sub, and it was phenomenal. Highly recommend it over thin hing. This place's meatball is more moist, and they're more generous with the veggies. read more

Banh Mi Huy-Ky - Meatball banh mi (5$) - Vietnamese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Run, don't walk. The spicy beef jerky is incredible. SO FLAVOUR PACKED and exploding in your mouth. Only $30-35 for a huge bag that you won't be able to stop snacking from. They also sold chicken and pork jerky. The pork steamed bun was also absolutely packed to the max with meaty filling. The meat to bread ratio couldn't be better, especially at the price. Had half an egg inside, I think some sausage, and lots of mushroom. Pork spring roll was also tasty and did not have the same filling. Can't wait to go back to try the banh mi and other jerky flavours... I just wish they came in smaller bags to sample and share. read more

Food: 4 Stars Service: 3 Stars Ambience: N/A Fill Factor: Satisfied I grew up eating banh mi and it's one of my favourite things to pick up when I'm in Chinatown. I passed by this place several times when I was in the area and finally I made the trip inside. This was definitely one of the better life choices I've made in recent times. The shop is very small with a single long table and a few chairs against the wall. I'm assuming it'd be ok if you wanted to sit down and eat there. There is also a big rack filled with assorted items for sale such as noodles and there is a fridge in the back with drinks. The main counter at the front is where all the magic happens. You have a choice of about 5-6 different proteins for the banh mi and so far I've tried the BBQ pork, assorted, and BBQ chicken with the BBQ pork and assorted being the best. The bread was nice and crispy/crunchy and they are fairly generous with all the fresh ingredients (such as cucumbers, cilantro, pickled veggies, sauces) that go into a banh mi which in my opinion are more important than the protein itself. Also note that if you cannot take spicy please say no when they ask because it really is spicy when you bite into the chilies. They also sell other food items such as the white steamed bun, rolls and various smoothies so it isn't just all banh mi here. I think the best way to sum everything up is you get good value at Huy Ky. It's $5 for a banh mi and $3 for the white buns which is a reasonable price these days so if you're craving banh mi Huy Ky is a great option. read more

Banh Mi Huy-Ky - Regular banh mi - Vietnamese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Banh is ok, but the filling is not very generous. This is just a small shop, for people who wants to grab and run. There a few bar seats. I guess it's good for the students from the school nearby. Ordered the special, BBQ pork and chicken banh. The BBQ pork is the best, then the special, the chicken definitely not looked by my family. They used the long bun, but the filling is a bit lacking. read more

Excellent banh mi for only a few dollars. Would love to try some more options. The spicy option on the regular sandwich was not spicy, though - next time I'll ask for tons of jalapeños. Good amount of filling and veggies. read more

Just ok. The banh mi here are long so you can definitely get two meals out of one. I only ever get the original one- pretty good but I think it needs more carrots. Another spot in old Chinatown recently closed down, so this place is my new regular. read more

Visited again today and Banh Mi Huy-Ky is still killing the banh mi game. The baguette was so fresh and the service was fast. Sandwiches are still only $5. read more

This spot underwent a little bit of an interior renovation and now they are open again. I've never tried the banh mi from here so headed inside to grab some lunch on the way home. They also offer a lot more as well such as steamed buns, sticky rice, pyramid cake, and moon cakes. In terms of COVID-19 safety, the counter staff wear masks at all times. There is tables inside for indoor dining although they are not spaced out at all. I think this place is really more for take-out then dine-in. This banh mi has all the usual suspects you would expect in a Vietnamese banh mi including the deli meats, the lard, cilantro, and pickled veggie. They also squeeze some sauce which tastes like a savoury teriyaki-style sauce into the bun. The veggie could be a little more tart to provide that brightness that it is lacking. I found that if you take the sandwich away in a bag, make sure the open face of the sandwich points up otherwise the sauce leaks through thanks to gravity. I asked for the sandwich to be spicy and saw them cut up the fresh chili pepper but failed to feel the heat when I chowed down. Where did the peppers go? Price is fair for the size of the banh mi and the taste. A happy find in the neighbourhood! read more

Freshly made bahn mi, unlike the mass produced version (but still by hand) that Nguyen Hong has become, where they give you one from the huge pile behind the counter. At this small shop, ingredients are fresh, baguette is crusty, and the resulting banh mi is tasty. read more

Great banh mi and iced coffee, and the little packages of sausage on the counter are fantastic as well! This is a perfect lunch spot. read more

The sandwiches here are so good. My first time here and I ordered the assorted sandwiches. It was really quick and he made it in front of me. The toppings seem fresh and I enjoyed the soft bun. It is cash only and no tax. Sandwiches were only $4. read more

For $4.50, the banh mi here is not bad. Located in an up and coming neighborhood, this place is easy to miss, as the interior and exterior are fairly nondescript, practical, and bare bones. The banh mi here comes only in one size and they have many different kinds, accommodating for different tastes. I got the classic choice, the one with the various cold cuts. The service here is rather nice, and they really observe COVID safety guidelines, which I really appreciate. In terms of the food, it's decent, not super outstanding. It's enough to feed me, but one sandwich is not enough for my boyfriend while two sandwiches would be too much for him. read more

Best banh mi place so far in Toronto. Been going before and after pandemic. Still the best! I think it's family owned and they are super nice. Food is tasty and fresh. Very accommodating. I usually buy like 6 spring rolls or more and I ask for fish sauce on side, no charge. Super nice of them but I always tip. Rather support a local family business than chain/corporate business. read more

Simple and inexpensive meals - items are under the $5 mark - to-go or you can eat at one of the four seats available around a simple table. This is clearly a take-out counter more than anything else. The $2 Banh Mi sandwiches are decent. The bread would be greatly improved if they would toast it a bit, but the fillings are good. I'm fond of the shredded pork sandwich. They also offer chicken, bbq pork, pork floss, and chicken floss. The hot peppers range from not-that-hot to I-can-feel-where-it's-sitting-in-my-stomach. The pickled veg is nice too. I tried the tapioca dessert ($1.25) and thought it quite good. Coconut milk, soft tapioca, and what is something like banana, but didn't have the texture of banana. They also have fried spring rolls, fresh spring roll plates, bubble tea, and desserts (more coconut milk-based desserts). Overall, this spartan space is a great place for a quick and tasty bite in the area. Would certainly make (and have made) subsequent visits. read more

Best banh mi in Toronto for the price! 3.00 for either mixed meat or tofu sandwich! So tasty and fresh. I have travelled throughout Vietnam and it taste almost as good at the banh mi street stalls! *everytime I have eaten here (3 or 4 times) it has appeared clean and they have used gloves read more

The assorted (special) banh mi is great here. It's affordable and a classic for the banh mi purist, with the freshest ingredients: pate, mayo, cilantro, pickled carrots and deli meats. A must try! read more

By far the best pork and chicken Banh Mi in Toronto. Be sure to get the pork and chicken mix, extra meat. Spring rolls are also delicious as well as the steamed buns. I had the moon cake today and the green been is bomb! read more

I used to go to East Chinatown for my Banh Mi, until tried Huy-Ky (based on a friend's recommendation). The proportions, freshness, and quality of ingredients surpass any Banh Mi place on this half of the city. What a steal! Although I love all the sandwiches bbq pork is my favourite. The owner is also a friendly guy. This has become my go to spot for Banh Mi and I've returned 3 or 4 times already! read more

I'm giving it four stars in comparison to other banh mi places I've tried in the GTA. Coming from Montreal, which has quite a large Vietnamese population, I've had really good banh mi (consistently!). Since moving here, I've tried Rose's, banh mi bale (both locations), oceans, tnt, and some others I don't remember (and Banh mi boys doesn't count, that would not be fair to the traditional preparation). My complaint with the other places is that they either don't seem clean, fresh, the bread is not right, or the meats are a little off. You need the right combination to make me a regular and huy-ky has managed that. The barbq pork is my favorite and the $1 pork rolls are also pretty good. Friendly staff, fresh food. Great little place, better than most. read more

These people don't wash their hands or wear protective gloves when preparing your food. We walked in there to order sandwiches and the woman was on her phone, didn't hang up, stayed on the call and was attempting to prepare our food. When we noticed she didn't wash her hands or protect her hands, we were like, "we're outta here". A friend also went there and he said a kid was working there, the kid was outside smoking then went in to make my friend a sandwich and he too didn't wash his hands. Yuck, where's the health department? read more

I've had better but ok for $2.75 and being relatively close to me so convenience was key. clearly a quick take out place

Imo one of the best banh mi shop in Toronto. You can not beat the $4 banh mi, the owner is nice and friendly. Good selection of drinks
