I went with the Hoi An Special made with pate, slow-roasted pork, pickled vegetables, coriander, and a secret sauce. Looking at Bami Bread’s menu, the choice was clear. They’re thinner, crispier, and lighter, and make for better sandwiches. Based on what I’ve read, banh mi was invented in Hoi An.īread baked in Hoi An is said to be different than in other parts of the country. They market their sandwiches as “Hoi-An-style” banh mi, which says a lot because the best banh mi I had in Vietnam was in Hoi An. It was confirmation that Bami Bread really does serve some of the best banh mi in Hanoi. I already knew about this restaurant from my research, but my homestay host recommended it as well. What to Order: Mixed banh mi with pate, barbecued pork, ham, and sausage Bánh Mì 25Īddress: 25 Hàng Cá, P, Hoàn Kiếm, Hanoi, Vietnam The place was packed with tourists when I was there. I didn’t see this sit-down restaurant at first so I ordered my banh mi from the takeaway stall and they brought it here.īánh Mì 25 has to be one of the most successful banh mi restaurants in Hanoi. Pictured below is the takeaway stall but they have a sit-down restaurant across the street. It was delicious and a great start to this Hanoi food trip.īánh Mì 25 is located along Hang Ca street in Hanoi’s Old Quarter. Served warm and toasty, it was crunchy on the outside and soft and pillowy on the inside, so it would sort of crumble in on itself every time I took a bite. The fillings were delicious – sweet, smokey, savory, and crunchy all at once.įor me, a sandwich for me can only be as good as the bread it’s on and this baguette was fantastic. I asked my server for recommendations and she suggested I get this mixed banh mi with pate, barbecued pork, ham, and sausage. Hearing that crunch again from the baguette was like music to my ears! I wasn’t completely satisfied with the banh mi we had two years ago so finding better banh mi restaurants was a priority. This was my very first meal not just in Hanoi, but in Vietnam. Filter reviews by language and you’ll find that most Vietnamese reviewers give it an “Excellent” rating as well. Based on its 5,100+ TripAdvisor reviews, Bánh Mì 25 is one of the most popular banh mi restaurants in Hanoi, especially among tourists.īut that doesn’t mean it’s touristy and inauthentic. Google “best banh mi in hanoi” and this restaurant often pops up. It’s something that you should definitely still try while you’re in Hanoi. With that said, I’m willing to wager that any banh mi in Hanoi is superior to most banh mi found outside the country. This is just my personal opinion, but as good as the banh mi was in Hanoi, I felt that it was better in Hoi An and Saigon.
