Mi Banh Mi - China Town in Birmingham

I have been customer of the shop since the 1st day. The quality of the food is great and consistent. They have the best banhmi I have ever tried in UK with authentic Southern flavour. And of course not to mention the incredible friendliness of the staff.

bad service i had to wait 1 hour for 2 BBQ sandwiches and people who came later even got their food before me

I ordered 2 BBQ sandwiches and had to wait 40 minutes and when I asked about my order he didn't even know and had an attitude towards me.

Delicious food and good price! Will definately come back again!

Was a bit skeptical about this place after walking in, but it was 100% worth it. Bahn mi was very tasty. The bread was toasty and good veg/meat/cilantro balance of the sandwich. Generous portion size; meat was literally falling out of the sandwich. Would return and recommend.

A little pricey, but a very tasty combination.

Very nice bahn mi, love the pork belly one. Would appreciate more if you give more pate butter as is the most important ingredient in Bahn Mi.

One of the best Banh Mi's I've had in the UK. The balance of the bread and fillings was well done. The Vietnamese Iced Coffee was also delicious. Will absolutely be back for more.

Best Banh Mi outside of Vietnam. I popped to Birmingham and had 2 in 2 days it was that good. The pickled vegetables were the perfect level without being too vinegary, the flavours were authentic and the bread crunchy on the outside and soft inside. I will dream about this sandwich for a long time.

- One of the best tasting banh mi in the UK, also portion size is great. However they’ve raised the price now :( - Service used to be better when the owner and the Chinese lady was behind the till. I think now they’ve hired some new younger staffs? During my last visit the staffs were chatting and blasting music rather loudly behind the till. I’d understand if there are no customers in the shop but there obviously are so it was rather off-putting. As a service worker myself I feel the need to leave a constructive feedback.

I ordered one 'Banh mi Sai Gon Thap cam'. I don't think it was authentic but it was not too bad either. I thought there were a lot of dish options in the menu; however, only banh mi and sticky rice were available when I was there.

Banh mi was very nice, bread was extra crispy and the tofu was crispy and flavoursome. You can add chilli sauce to it to taste. The iced coffee was strong but the condensed milk balanced out the bitter notes, very satisfying.

Small new cafe, not many seats. But foods are REALLY good!

The best banh mi I've had in the UK. The bread was very fresh and it had great flavour with fresh salad.

As background I grew up next to a large Vietnamese community called little Saigon in Southern California. The places I tended to get my Banh Mi were typically filled with Vietnamese customers. The first thing I enjoyed with their sandwiches was the bread. The bread here was not bad but a typical baguette. What set the Vietnamese baguettes apart was the addition of rice flour which made them very light and crispy. I could eat a baguette on its own. Unavailable chilies was a surprise as it was a standard ingredient. Never were they oily or sweet as this was. Being in the heart of china town I thought it would be more authentic.

Beautiful fresh Banh Mi, loved the tofu and egg one. Great service and gorgeous iced coffee too.

My first Banh mi and it was incredible. Will definitely be coming back to eat here again

The bread is delicious, the female waitress is not very cheerful

Myself and my husband came here for the first time today and it did not disappoint! The staff are so lovely and the food was absolutely delicious! We will definitely be returning customers :)

I got the peppa bull and the durian soup. Both were really delicious. The food tastes fresh and flavourful. I recommend visiting! The people serving me were really accommodating and sweet too <3

Lovely little place I discovered recently. My BBQ Piggy banh mi was delicious, filled to the brim with plenty of flavour, a bit of spice, in a lovely crusty bread. Great for a quick lunch while down in the Birmingham China Town. Who needs Subway when you have banh mi?

I lived in Vietnam for a while and the Banh Mi here is the closest I’ve had to an authentic banh mi in the UK, better than the ones I’ve had in London! Lady serving was friendly. The bread is light and Crispy, meat is flavourful overall a good balance of meat, veg and pate. Would highly recommend.

Nice little banh mi shop, close to the bullring and china town. Love Vietnamese food, and have scoffed countless banh mi's over the years and this is hands down one of the best I've had outside of Vietnam. Great fillings, really good bread and a perfect lunch on the go. They sell other food too, however this is all I was after. Hard to rate the atmosphere as quite a small place, but super friendly staff and pleasant seating. Definitely coming back!

Simply delicious lunch time bite. And a big bite at that 😋 Delicious hot baguette, feeled to the brim with salad and bbq pork. Freshly baked and ready to go. Just right for a spot of lunch (or light dinner).

One of the only authentic banh mi places in Birmingham.

The bread is super fresh - crunchy exterior, soft interior. Flavours are authentic 🤌🏻

Really nice sandwiches and loved the dessert, had so many textures like jelly and cheese.

Took me back to eating a banh mi in Vietnam. Incredibly tasty sandwiches and wish I could've eaten a second.

Banh mi Saigon was very delicious and flabourful. Reminds me of banh mi in Vietnam

My first ever Banh Mi experience and it was amazing. The bread was soft, warm and crusty, I had the bbq pork filling and it was delicious, filled to the brim with pork and fresh salad, it was very more-ish and did not disappoint. The staff were friendly, welcoming & helpful with their recommendations. The manager came out to greet and showed her homemade desserts, it was nice to have such a welcoming experience within the small business. Highly recommend and will definitely be back again.

I had a really nice baguette for lunch, I chose one of the pork options, Nr.3, with 3 types of pork and it was very yummy 👏🥖

This was my first time having Bành Mi in the UK and it almost reminded me of my Vietnam trip. Definitely not like the best ones I had in Vietnam but it was very good. I am not aware of other places serving Bành Mi in the city, but do visit this one for an authentic experience.

Delicious food and the friendliest staff!

Great Banh Mi (£7.95) a couple of tables or takeaway

The best Banh mi you will find in Birmingham, really great service and great value for money, will definitely come back

Been to vietnam many times this is by far the most authentic banh mi you will find in the UK. Flavour, bread etc all authentic. Highly recommended!

The best Banh Mi in West Midland. Crunchy bun with excellent balance between western and Vietnam ingredients. I cant wait to rmeat and so only remember to take photo and write this review.

Phenomenal Bahn Mi. We order the Saigon Special and it is everything we want it to be. Absolute must visit in Brum 🌟

Best Banh Mi in Birmingham, definitely give it a try, used to go to the old store around the corner and just realised they moved to this location, still amazing as ever!

Everything is perfect here from Banh mi to dessert items! I love all of them. All delicious!

Nice food for delivery. Will definitely returned👍

I’ve try last week, It’s the best banh mi I try in uk! The Sai gon banh mi is really traditional👍🏻👍🏻

Ordered the pork belly & pork floss banh mi. Delicious & authentic. Highly recommend

Fantastic authentic banh mi. All homemade and massive. Great homemade Vietnamese coffee. Very friendly service. Relaxed atmosphere.

Welcoming & friendly staff. Venue is located inside a supermarket. Ordered the most popular No. 1 & 3 bun. All were quite nice.

Banh mi was good and lots of meat and filling but their dessert mixed che, I wouldn't even call it proper vietnamese dessert che, no fruit in there, no red bean, they put kidney beans in there instead and all the jelly tasted the same, just looked different

We had such a good evening 😃The food very Authentic, flavoursome, and beautiful in taste. The service was very efficient and friendly. There were 6 in our group and everyone’s choice was delicious. We even played table football. I’m definitely going again.😉

Fantastic food, brilliant service and great atmosphere. Worth the price. Will go again.

We visited here on a Friday night around 7:30pm. I must say that the service was very welcoming and friendly. The food was fresh and tasty Vietnamese food. Do try a chicken baguette roll these are absolutely fantastic. Nice quiet atmosphere in Chinatown.

Delicious Banh-Mi and summer rolls for a reasonable price!

Me and my husband come at 4pm. My husband ordered "ga u muoi" then the waitress (old lady) said it was out of stock, after that I ordered "bun rieu", waitress still said that it was out of stock. I asked her which one I can order? She checked and answered: just banh mi is available for now. So waste my time, why they did not tell us from beginning???

I've never understood why people go crazy for bahn mi until sampling theirs. Atmosphere isn't exactly great as you're above a Vietnamese supermarket but I'd eat food this tasty on a toilet seat. We'll be back.

Hidden gem inside a Vietnamese supermarket. Delicious banh mi, everyone who ever tried a banh mi will crave it once in a while. The owner produces all ingredients herself, and you can taste that. Especially the bread is usually hard to get, feels like back in vietnam. Highly recommended!

Just like being back traveling in Vietnam, best banh mi ever!

Best bahn mi and vegetarian bun chay ever. photo explains everything

Amazing home made ingredients to form a legit baguette. Homemade bread, meat, mayonnaise, pâté… must try in Birmingham.

Just cannot go wrong. Best sandwiches I may have ever had

The best authentic Vietnamese food and drink experience outside of Hanoi, can't expess how highly I recommend Mi Banh Mi. The food is amazing, the staff are wonderful and Mi is lovely accommodating to everyone to make your experience special. Trải nghiệm đồ ăn và thức uống Việt Nam đích thực nhất bên ngoài Hà Nội, không thể diễn tả hết mức độ tôi giới thiệu Mi Banh Mi. Thức ăn thật tuyệt vời, nhân viên thật tuyệt vời và Mi rất tốt với mọi người để làm cho trải nghiệm của bạn trở nên đặc biệt.

Authentic and super yummy banh mi. The bread was soft and crusty at the same time - just like the ones we had when we’re in Vietnam. Generous fillings and loved the taste of the slightly sweet butter against the savoury pork, pickle veggies and chilli sauce. Would definitely come back - can’t wait to try the other items on the menu!

It doesn’t get more authentic. Situated upstairs from an Asian grocer, a lovely lady sources her ingredients in real time from the store when making your meal. I had the Sai Gon special (#3) - delicious

Authentic Vietnamese food with wonderful hospitality - everything is made by Mi from scratch including all the bread, toppings, sauces etc. Hand rolled spring rolls made to order too Must visit food venue in China Town

Best Banh Mi in UK, so authentic and original. I dont craving Banh mi everytime i go back to Vietnam anymore 😂😂 noodle and snack also nice 👍👍

I ate one of the best Banh mi and suong sa I’ve ever had! The owner is also a nice and welcoming person. I had a blast eating there, will come back asap!

The bread is light crispy and the Banh mi is generously filled. Great find.

I miss my Banh Mi and this place hits the spot. I haven’t tried any in London but so far this is the best one I have had in the UK. Been here for 3 years. Price is great. Bread has a good crisp and still soft in the middle. Also had the Bun Cha and the sauce was the bomb. Smokey flavor.

Owner is so lovely. The best Vietnamese baguette we’ve ever had. This will be our go to stop. As for the RACIST lady below (Carol), you’re referring to Pork Floss, google it. Please educate yourself instead of spreading harmful, factually incorrect and racist narratives.

The banh mi here are so good. Bread very crispy and thin just like the real deal. Was not busy, probably because not many know about this place. Definitely visit if you are fan of banh mi.

Got to know the brand from the Vietnamese Cultural Show yesterday in Aston SU. Hope the bread is more crunchy and a bit less dense. other than that, the taste is perfect. Love their tào phớ soft tofu and chè ba màu so much. Defo will come back.

I recommend that you enjoy each one of those baguettes and those desserts are delicious you can't find anywhere else I love it

Life changing banh mi - unbelievably delicious. 10/10

Bread and toppings very tasty, the menu offers a good variety of toppings including rice and noodle dishes. However, for me the Banh Mi is a must try.

I bought the chargrilled bbq pork baguette and have found a few of what look clearly like either dog or cat hair due to the length and the colour. This is horrible in term of food hygiene. Would not buy from this place again.

Great place for banh mi, probably the best I've had in the UK. Well worth a visit! Prices are reasonable too (except maybe for the iced coffee...). Place is tucked away inside a Vietnamese supermarket, but plenty of tables and seating. Friendly Veitnamese owner too! Hope to return.

Very good banh mi, authentic mayo, pâté and bread with a good choice of meats. Mi heated it up before serving which made the bread nice and crispy. Mi was also very friendly and chatted a lot whilst making the food. Will return for more lunches when visiting Birmingham!

Authentic Bahn Mi baguette, the right crisp skin, chewiness and texture. Tell Subway to close down. This is the only sandwich you'll ever need.

Their bahn mi was absolutely delicious, the women at the counter was very nice and smiley, made us feel very welcome. I will be coming back :))

The banh mi here is terrific. Not only the best in Birmingham, but some of the best I've ever had. I routinely drive 40 minutes each way just to eat from here. The BBQ Piggy is hands-down my favorite.

The best sandwich I have ever eaten. No cap.

I was there today and I ordered one that has 4 types of meat and it was delicious thank you

estube ahí hoy y me encantó comida excelente lugar excelentes personas una recomendación 100%

It is the best place where I have eaten I will not find any other place in which they have treated me with such affection and respect as well as their delicious food those baguettes are to lick my fingers
