Vietnamese cuisine has always been well-loved by Metro Manila urbanites, but there’s nothing else about this cuisine that captures our hearts quite like Banh Mi.

This Vietnamese sub is perfect for every kind of foodie — from those who need a filling snack, to those who want a healthy pick-me-up.

Here are the top 8 places to get your Banh Mi fix!

When in need of a break from your full day of shopping, you’ll find relief in Phat Pho’s menu of Vietnamese comfort food. Other than its selection of warm bowls, you have to experience their lone Banh Mi item: the Saigon Baguette. One bite is all you’ll need to taste the cilantro, pressed meatballs, cha lua, spring onions, blended chili and liver pate, him, cheese and pickled vegetables, all lovingly sandwiched between crunchy baguette loaves.

Those who like to play it safe can go for the simple yet delicious Classic Banh Mi. Those who need a hunger buster could opt for the Protein Monster which has Vietnamese barbeque pork and ham, and roast pork combined with a fluffy omelet, pickled vegetables, pate and cucumber.

From the owner of Pho Hoa, O Banh Mi stays faithful to the Banh Mi’s grab-and-go concept where you can watch your sandwich being made quickly and efficiently right before your eyes. Definite must-tries are the smoky and tender BBQ Pork, the sweet Hoisin Beef, and — our guilty pleasure — Spam and Egg. A lighter option would be the Lemongrass Chicken which is just as filling without the guilt.
