Hope this place never a-banh mhi-dons (abandons) me. The BBQ pork and classic banh are very yummy and cheap!

Love this little Vietnamese sandwich shop! Service was fast and friendly, the sandwiches were bomb 💣 and the prices are reasonable! What more could you ask for?! This shop has been around for years, and I can see why. If you haven't tried this place, you gotta get here!

Still delicious! Prices have gone up but still a good deal. Tried the fresh rolls this time and they were great too, but the buns rule! PREVIOUS: Amazing! You know it's an authentic banh mi Vietnamese sandwich shop when they have advertisements for income tax services posted in the window. Definitely a hole in the wall, but that's also where the beauty lies. Just a simple take out stripped down menu at unbeatable prices. These guys do one thing and do it exceptionally well, and that makes it our favourite banh mi shop. Seasoning, buns and main ingredients fresh and in perfect balance. You have to wait while they put it all together for you, but isn't that what you would want? They accept debit which is especially great now, and adhere to all the COVID rules with one party allowed in the shop at a time. Picking out what you want is easy with the sign out front, but newbies can't go wrong with assorted meat or our go to, BBQ pork. TIP: You may have to hunt around for street parking and there may be a bit of a wait at lunch when it's popular.

My friend tried this spot for the first time because of it’s good reviews and got me an order of fresh spring rolls. My other 2 spring rolls were perfectly fine and the sauce/dip that came with it was perfect. But this piece had a nasty surprise wrapped around the veggies. This place could use a health inspection review.

Must-visit Kitchener spot for delicious Banh Mi subs/sandwiches. The flavours are amazing and the ingredients are fresh. Friendly service on the counter. Great value for money! Our favourites are the veggie, Chicken satay and teriyaki options. We also tried their fresh spring rolls and those were delicious as well. Free parking on the street (limited but available) or go on a Saturday to park at the Farmer’s market garage for $2.

Very popular place for it's delicious and affordable banh mi. The beef teriyaki was delicious with tender beef with just the right amount of sauce. The assorted meat banh mi is actually one that I would pass on; it's not bad and it's not great. It's missing something that I can't quite identify. All buns are lightly toasted.

First time here! It was a little chaotic because I didn't realize ordering ahead of time would be better 😅 thats on me, but I was so pleased with the Banh Mi. I ordered the BBQ pork (spicy) and a spring roll. The spring roll was not very good at all quite honestly (very hard and chewy), but I still rated 5 stars because the Banh Mi was *chefs kiss* The cilantro, pickled veg, and sauce were absolutely delicious. The spice level was perfect and the meat was so flavourful. This was the perfect work lunch and for like $4.50 a sandwich- you can't go wrong. I will definitely be back to try the other protein options!

Every time we're downtown or near New City we make sure to stop in at Givral's. Everything we got isn't pictured here but the steamed buns with the pork and the hard boiled egg is so flavourful too. The fresh rolls are perfect with that little crisp inside and my favourite banh mi as recommended by a friend is the assorted meat but ask for double and definitely spicy, those fresh Thai chillies in there really make it! If you can't handle spice then don't get it though because they're just chopped raw and added to the sandwich. The atmosphere isn't the greatest but that's part of the charm, I've always had friendly service as well. I can see how this place is very nostalgic for many! We absolutely love all the food, even our kid loves it!

For the price, the food is great and the customer service is excellent. We got 2 BBQ Pork banh mi made mildly spicy and 2 steamed buns to go. The ingredients were all fresh, the buns were crispy, and you could ask them to lower the spice level. It was perfect for our picnic. Just a side note, they only take cash or debit.

Fantastic food at fair prices! I make a strong effort to continually try new restaurants and resist the urge to keep falling back on the same good experiences, but this place has me beat. I've been here over and over, and the food is always fresh and packed with flavour. The bread they use is particularly good! Can't get this much bang for buck anywhere else.

I love this place from the day I tried it years ago living close by when the subs were 2.50 priced may have gone up but they are worth every cent. They accommodate so easily when you pop in or call ahead. We always get BBQ pork times two… one extra onion no cilantro and extra garlic mayo other one everything and spicy! Thank you for being around and I hope you will be for a super long time! Your subs are a staple to our downtown sub experience! :)

Fresh food, quickly served at a fair price. What more do you want. Never been disappointed here. Highly recommended for a quick lunch when downtown. Be aware however, it is take out only: but there are lots of public places to eat outside.

I was passing through Kitchener and looking for a quick bite to eat. Tiring of the usual fast food fare, I spotted this little establishment and decided to drop in. It's a quaint little shop without any dine-in options, essentially being a "grab and go" kind of place. It offers the usual Vietnamese Banh Mi fare and also includes sides like spring rolls and steamed buns as well. I went for the tried and tested assorted meats sandwich, which came out quick and hot. It was delicious and the prices are competitive, although their buns are a teeny bit smaller than some other Banh Mi places. If you're ever in the area and looking for a quick bite for lunch or even dinner, Banh Mi Givral is an excellent economical choice.

By far, it is the best banh mi places in the area. It has decent prices, and everything is made fresh. I got the Spicy Chicken Satay, which had a good amount of heat and a decent portionand Fresh Rolls was balanced as it had a crunchy element to give the soft rolls some texture. It also had a tangy peanut sauce that complimented the rolls perfectly.
