How to choose
- Banh Mi 25 for the classic: across the road, at number 30, there are more seats than at the stall. Avoid 12:00-13:00 if you are in a hurry.
- Banh Mi Hang Gai for breakfast, early in the morning.
- Filling: ask for "không cay" if you do not want chilli.
Banh mi alone or with a tour
A banh mi is a $1 or $2 snack; it makes a good complement to Old Quarter street food. To taste pho, bun cha and banh mi on one outing, a guided tour is still the simplest. See also egg coffee, dishes to try and the weekend night market.
