Banh Mi Bay

Place is packed to the brim and spilling onto the streets! Got the crispy pork belly noodles and it was delicious, would return for the other offerings. Downsides were that the nuoc cham sauce was on the sweet side, I would have preferred a few more squirts of fish sauce just for that additional dimension of flavor.

Hard to get attention of waiters during lunch hours but once orders have been taken the food comes almost right away! The prices for sit-downs are higher than the take-away prices but not sure if the take-away portions are as big. Quite happy with the pork summer roll and the lemongrass beef bun noodle salad - no frills and simply!

Brilliant lunchtime takeaway from Banh Mi Bay. I usually visit this restaurant for takeaway when I'm at work and can't believe I didn't review this previously. The lunch hour is very busy, so expect to queue for at least 5-10 mins if you're not at the door by 12. Getting a table on walk-ins is also difficult, so book in advance. The food is amazing and at a good price point so no complaints about that. The service gets delayed due to the rush but that's ok as the food is worth waiting for. Highly recommending the grilled pork with rice with extra meat and the range of Banh Mi's.

You can expect the dining experience to be more cafeteria like, weekdays around lunch hour or so incredibly busy with bank workers ordering for take away. The constant line at the door is a testament to the quality of food. Take away prices hover around £7-8 whereas eating in will cost you around £12-14. The staff work exceptionally hard and always serve people in proper order. I’m glad that the table service remains being served in actual dishes! There are so many places that offer table service but serve in disposable paperware so I’m happy to pay a little extra for the service and dishes at this place.
