The Hunt For Saigon Vietnam’s Best Banh Mi 🇻🇳

[@oliviabethofort5546]

OMG! Vietnamese sandwich or Banh Mi in my opinion is the best fast food/street food on the planet. The French influenced street food is super tasty, convenient and cheap. It's not hard to spot a Banh Mi stand anywhere in the country, most of them cost you about $1 or even less! Some can go up to $3 or even $100. Most surprisingly, many of the tastiest ones in Vietnam, particularly in Ho Chi Minh City came from unexpected or less known Banh Mi stands! I have spent a whole week trying many different types of Banh Mi in Ho Chi Minh City. Some of my personal favorites were Cu Ly Banh Mi, Hoa Ma Banh Mi, Bay Ho Banh Mi and charcoal grilled pork Banh Mi #39. They were not only cheap but also delicious! Unlike most of the street foods worldwide, Vietnam's French influenced bread rolls with crunchy crispy outside and airy soft inside can have many different types of yummy fillings satisfying everyone's individual demand including fried lemongrass tofu fillings for vegans. The exceptional culinary skills of the Vietnamese have turned an ordinary French baguette into Vietnam's extraordinary culinary masterpiece.

It's so fast, and so good! same, i love it too! $100 for one?! Crazy!

Banh mi is a famous food but most of foreigner didn't know that they have to try one by one until they find out their favourite. Each banh mi has their own taste and it's unique. I live in Vietnam and it took me 20 years to reach my "true love" :)

[@ruthtran9494]

May I know what your true love is and where it is? And what is in it? Tks.

[@mehedi61]

For me the best banh mi i ate in Hoi An. "Banh Mi Phuong" and "Madam Khanh - The Banh Mi Queen" are these two places. Saigon Bun Bo and seafood i liked the most.

[@AdamVenturesTravel]

I'll have to try those next time I am there!

[@randyhuynh-themagicalenter7999]

In Providence, RI 🇺🇸 the best Bahn mi is from the Asian Bakery on Broad street. This place had been there since the 1990’s. It has changed owners but it still a great local spot.

[@bibebong3288]

Ở Sài Gòn , bánh mì đại diện cho sự bình dân chỉ với 15 ,20 k ,ai cũng có thể giải quyết nhanh cơn đói để tiếp tục công việc . Không nên thần thánh hóa nó . Là một người Việt , tôi trân trọng những đánh giá của anh chị em quốc tế dành cho ẩm thực xứ tôi . Chân thành cảm ơn .

I've been eating the Banh mi at Banh mi 37 for the best part of 15 years, she's only open in the evening , she's unique. If you get there early it's pure theatre watching her prepare the patties on charcoal..

[@edmondlaurentcarton8875]

Completely agreed 👍

[@danielrobertm]

Totally agree, though I found Banh Mi Huynh Hoa to have way too much meat, and they were also quite unfriendly. Bang Mi Hong Hoa was a pleasure. They had more options and I enjoyed both the BBQ Pork, the Xiu Mai, and the Roast Pork while I was in Saigon. The owner (in the video) was an absolute gentleman and so friendly to talk to, which is why I continued to come back. I told all of my friends the same as you, and made sure they went to Banh Mi Hong Hoa first. Great review, and I’m glad to see I’m not the only one with the same opinion.

[@lovefreebee]

banh mi Huynh Hoa is the only place that i'd visit whenever i'm back in my hometurf...njoy y'all & great video for hunting banh mi in nam!

[@cornercat6549]

Hey Adam, you can try banhmi Hòa Mã - 52 Cao Thang District 3. It was established 196X..

[@AdamVenturesTravel]

i would love it! lets see if I have time!

[@pastorquangful]

I've been back to Vietnam like 10 times... Love it there. Hong Hoa is my favorite as well. #2 place is almost too overwhelming with the amount of meat. If you get a chance when in HCMC, go to Hem 49 Nguyen Van Dau, ask for "Chi Loan" she serves some serious good eats each day. Near there, on Hoang Hoa Tham street, there's a Wonton soup place at the corner that's been there for nearly 100 years. Love that place too. Best wishes!

[@doodahgurlie]

You've still many more to try...like the pork belly ones. Those are the most delicious along with the grilled meats (not necessarily grilled patty like you had).

[@transa0710]

I agreed. #1 is a better choice. Quality and Value. Banh Mi tastes much better with the veggies in my opinion. Thanks for the video.

Thanks for watching! you bet!

[@caryhuynh88]

My preference is Huynh Hoa, like some viewers said. The fillings in the third one not count if you considered cold cut banh mi.

[@Melva-Tjong]

This is called shredded pork, which is dried shredded pork meat. The meat is cooked for a long time until it becomes very very tender then it is put in the machine to be shredded. The shredded meat will be dried up in the frying pan until it becomes very dried, so that it can be kept for months.

Banh My Ha Noi No1.

[@yeschefwithchadkubanoff]

Banh Mi Huynh Hoa comes with veg. I assume because you ordered 1 “banh mi” they have no idea what you want as they are so busy to ask they just put everything on the side. If your still in Vietnam just Always order “Dac Biet” aka “banh mi dac biet” or “pho dac biet”. Your basically saying give me everything. And then either “co ot” with chili or “khong ot” no chili.

[@AdamVenturesTravel]

Thank you! banh mi "dac biet, khong ot" that will be very helpful!

Also like Sandwich, there is actually no standar on what you put into the loaf of bread :D, so sunny side egg, scamble egg, charsiu meat, Jambon, Pate, meat loaf, and many more... so i must say there is not best Banhmi in VietNam, only the best Banhmi that suit your mood the moment you buy :D Of course the variation actually make Banhmi one of the most versatile breakfast/other meal on our country, VietNam :D

[@ruthtran9494]

Hi Adam. If talking about Vnese food you just mention Pho and Banh Mi.. you just missed out so many good things in VNese cuisine, which has almost 3000 dishes.. for the noodle dish alone there are almost 300 diferent kinds. Many of them taste even better than Pho according to many different people. BUN BO HUE (from Hue city bit available in HCMC).. BANH CANH Cua, BO LA LOT, NEM BO NUONG SA, BUN THIT NUONG (HCMC).. BUN TOM, BANH DA CUA, NEM CUA BE (from Hai Phong but available in Hanoi).. BUN CHA (This one Anthony Bourdain recommended for Obama in his trip to Hanoi), BUN RIEU CUA (this one I will miss the most if I am away fr VN.. and crave the most when Im sick), XOI XEO, CHA CA LA VONG, BUN NGAN, MIEN LUON, BUN CA, BUN VIT OM SAU, BUN NEM, EGG COFFEE (Hanoi) ...BUN MAM (from South west available in HCMC).. HU TIU (The soup that Gorson Ramsay said in Master chef season4 to be the most delicous dish he has ever eaten) just name a few. If you like Banh mi a lot.. than you should try Banh mi Bit tet and Banh mi xiu mai in Hanoi ( they serve it in a sizzling hot tray).. dont know if you like snails but HCMC is said to be snail heaven.. and seafood buffet too.

[@AdamVenturesTravel]

[@NocTai]

[@joe6131]

The 2nd is rated best by most foreigners because the damn thing is loaded with meat, the first is ok, the third one is not a typical banh mi. As a person who’s been eating banh mi for over 60 years all three are not traditional authentic Vietnamese banh mi. Some of the best one are sold by the small vendors selling from cart like the third one, you just have to find out by try a few of them. More meat doesn’t mean flavor.

next to the touristy area that's the only way to put these places on social media with good reviews :), local rarely eat at it, maybe some wealthy people, trust me it's really basic bánh mì like another normal place nothing different that much, you want to eat something authentic try some shabby place or on the street. It's way better than social media place.

third one is grilled meat sweet and savoury . But traditional cold cut meat ( first 2 ) is always a win for majority of the people . When i was a kid living in Vietnam i actually never eat those like in the video lol , always go to stall near my house and ask for my own style which is vietnamese margarine ( yellow stuff you called mayo in the vid ) and put sugar on it ! hahaha good old childhood memory , too bad now the lady that usually does that for me passed away now so whenever i got back to my hometown no one is there to make me that special sandwich that i made up .. till this day i still eat like that sometimes in canada like put butter on it ( even though butter is abit different with vietnamese butter ) and add sugar , my bad bad habit of eating banh mi since 7 year old has make me dislike all others proper banh mi like cold cut or bbq pork / grilled meat , like i don't think of going to eat banh mi in the morning like most people do. But when i actually eat a banh mi is when i have no option left, i guess the sugar + butter banh mi has ruined my appetite for others banh mi really.

[@marc6344]

i feel you. tried all of the ones in the video and for me the cold cut 1&2 are better, the third one is too focused on meat. For me a banh mi has to be well balanced.

[@mitismee]

@@marc6344 yeah the grilled meat one is around since my childhood early 2000s. But still regular banh mi is the one that people getting daily, i guess the grilled meat lack alot of veggies that's why the balance is off and only suit for meat eater

[@firefly4112]

#2 Banh Mi Huynh Hoa is just too overloaded, trying to wow people with the size and filling, which is the hype of that shop, but the quality of the cold cuts/hams are not that good, thus the taste is just so and so, in terms of ranking, you were spot on.

The rule to win this fear is keep routin slowly walking when you across the streams of motobike! motor-bykers knows how to avoid you themself in chaos-order! remmember do not runs and stop suddently , accident immidiatly !
