👍👍 Literally a hidden gem because the restaurant is located inside a residence that you need to ring the doorbell to enter. Since the place is small, they can only accommodate a small number of persons (better to reserve a seat in advance just to be sure). We ordered their beef pho, fresh spring roll,...

    Literally a hidden gem because the restaurant is located inside a residence that you need to ring the doorbell to enter. Since the place is small, they can only accommodate a small number of persons (better to reserve a seat in advance just to be sure). We ordered their beef pho, fresh spring roll, and chicken lemongrass banh mi. For me, the beef pho’s broth was a little sweet but you can adjust the taste with condiments. I love how accommodating the staff was when we would request for additional condiments. Normally it would take so long for other restaurants to give us additional lemon slices or toge but not here. The banh mi was so good, will definitely come back for this again. It’s the best banh mi I’ve tasted so far in the metro because of how crunchy the bread was and how the filling was done right.

    Arguably the Best Banh Mi in town comparable to the Bon Banh Mi at Makati. Crispy baguette quality meat and fresh veggies very superb sandwich.. Viet Coffee was good but a little too sweet in my opinion, they also serve Pho but i would default to Pho hua for variety and flavor.. broth is clear but lacking depth. I would certainly recommend the fresh spring rolls here! The place deep inside a house in chinatown qc but certainly well worth your time if you’re a fan of the best sandwich on the planet according to the late chef bourdain. Would definitely recommend the place. Its a little tight inside but with lots of personality

    Definitely a must try! Totally agree with the positive reviews. Love the sandwiches specially their pulled pork, chicken lemongrass and fish cake bahn mi. Quick to respond and to provide detailed instructions on payment, heating directions, and summary of transaction. Pickup of order was a breeze.

    Staff and restaurant are fairly nice. Staff performed reasonably well and the location, once you get inside, is quite nice. The location is inside a townhoused complex, and the small sign is easy to miss, especially at night. Food was overall unremarkable and not amazing. Wasn't terrible, but is not worthy of praise either.

    Service was great 9/10 - not perfect because they put us in a very small table (we were only 2 people but we ordered worth 3.6k of food, they could have placed us in a bigger table since there weren't many customers yet that time) but the people were accommodating and fast in giving our requests Food was top notch in taste would give perfect but the pho soup was not served hot not even warm so only 8.5/10 it tasted good tho just wish you could have served them while they were still hot Drinks were great 10/10 the vietnamese coffee was good but a little on the sweet side

    Literally hidden, one will not see this place unless you really are searching for it. Even when we got there, we couldn't believe that the townhouse was Bahn Mi Manila. You need a reservation to dine in but fortunately after 3 people asked if we had a reservation, we were allowed to enter. We didnt know what to expect and were happily brought into a nice small dining area which smelled amazing. We tried their Chicken Pho and a Pork Bahn Mi. The soup was light and flavorful. The sandwich, which I personally thought had too little filling, was in fact just right. The owner was lovely and the staff were all nice. Will definitely come back.

    The Chicken dry noodles I tried was excellent! I also ordered fresh spring rolls for take out, can’t get any better. I recommend you try this place. You need to call for reservations. Great food!

    Embarking on a gastronomic odyssey, the serendipitous discovery of Banh Mi Manila in Quezon City proved to be a revelation in Vietnamese cuisine, nestled discreetly in a tranquil residential enclave. The unassuming facade belies the culinary prowess that awaits within, making it a delightful challenge for any avid seeker of hidden gems. Location Whispers: Situated away from the urban clamor, Banh Mi Manila invites discerning diners to uncover its Vietnamese charms amidst the quietude of a residential neighborhood. The small signage adds an air of exclusivity, transforming every visit into an exploration of the culinary arts. A Tapestry of Flavors: Our belated lunch unfolded a culinary tableau with an array of delights, and it was the Banh Mi sandwiches and Chicken Pho Noodle Soup that emerged as the maestros of the gastronomic symphony. The French-style baguette, a virtuoso creation — airy and crunchy — elevated the Banh Mi sandwiches to an art form. Each bite resonated with a harmonious blend of salty, sour, savory, sweet, and aromatic notes, encapsulating the essence of Vietnamese gastronomy. Pet-Friendly Indulgence: A delightful surprise awaited us, as Banh Mi Manila extended its hospitality to our four-legged companion, Arthur. The pet-friendly ambiance added an extra layer of warmth to the dining experience, making it a haven for those who cherish the company of their furry friends. Reservations Encouraged: A word of culinary wisdom — the allure of Banh Mi Manila has not escaped the discerning crowd. To savor this Vietnamese culinary escapade, reservations are highly encouraged. The establishment, a testament to its own success, tends to be fully booked, underscoring the eagerness of patrons to partake in its flavors.

  • 5/5 Frances Kathleen L. 2 years ago on Google
    My son enjoyed his pulled pork banh mi, and I really really loved my fish cake banh mi. I also purchased their ube banh mi (bread only) and the crunch of the bread is just so so so amazing. I'm so happy this place is only a kilometer away from my house!

    For someone who's particular with how I like my bread, Banh Mi Manila has never disappointed. I love that their perfectly crunchy banh mi goes well with all their flavor offerings + everything else you can think of. It has become one of our house food staples and my mom just loves it so much. Knowing that everything is home-made, healthy and carefully thought of is a plus point, as well. Very easy to contact and transact with. Highly recommended!!

    The info in the Internet says 24 hours but it isn't. It is homebase and close I think in late afternoon. We went in the location in 12 pm but we didn't saw it open.

    Rep-EATER here 🙋🏾pulled pork & chicken lemongrass is the family fave. I order in bulk for the week, the Bahn Mi heats well & doesn't get soggy kept in the ref for the week yet it's also not dry in the oven. It's light enough for a meriend filly enough for a calorie-conscious lunch. Bahn Mi Manila is a call/pickup authentic Viet deli. Paté is yummy too.

  • 5/5 Ivy L. 3 years ago on Google
    This is my go-to food order for my take away banh mis! Very authentic, and the closest thing to the Vietnam banh mis, so many variety of flavors. Their banh mis has been a favorite of our family's and friends. The owner is Vietnamese, so she knows her food well. Bread is also self made, crunchy and tasty. I highly recommend you guys try out Banh Mi Manila!

👍👍 I missed this place! One of my comfort foods. This is our favorite place when we were in college. The place is huge, now they have more parking. The food is still great! We ordered the Shawarma Plate, Mixed Special Kebab, and the Grilled Eggplant. Order their yogurt shakes too!

👍👍 A very pleasant lunch at this place today (though the temperature inside was quite warm). The food was simply fabulous. Loved the pako salad and the Ilocos Express! The chicken adobo was also good and the Ilocos Best ( a platter of bagnet slices and a variety of Ilokano sausages) was simply the star...
