Banh Mi's worth biting into

Banh mi have been having a bit of a moment for a while now, and for good reason – with the perfect combo of salty, crunchy and fresh they’re hard to beat when it comes to your Friday lunchtime treat. As firm believers the best foods come between bread, here’s our favourite spots for a banh mi around the City.

Hem 1958

329 Murray St, Perth

Tucked down Wolf Lane is Hem 1958, a cosy spot serving up fresh food and Vietnamese iced coffee that’ll have you feeling transported straight to the streets of Saigon. They offer their banh mi in two different sizes, so whether you’re craving a light lunch or a full on feast they’ve got you covered.

Le Vietnam

300 Murray St, Perth

A heavyweight of the Perth banh mi scene, Le Vietnam is truly exceptional at what they do. While it’s hard to go past the classics, we also love their more experimental banh mi flavours, ranging from Peking-style chicken to bulgogi pork and chicken and guac.

Hem Street Food

1/70 Aberdeen St, Northbridge

A relatively new addition to the Northbridge food scene, Hem Street Food is dishing out banh mi by day and a full menu of authentic Vietnamese street food by night. If you’re heading there for dinner, we highly recommend giving the bánh mì nướng muối ớt a go – a grilled baguette topped with lashings of sauce and chilli.

G'Day Saigon

1/447 Hay St, Perth

If you work down the eastern end of Hay Street then say hello to your new favourite lunch spot. G'Day Saigon fuses traditional Vietnamese cuisine with bold flavours, serving up everything from your classic crispy pork banh mi to Italian meatballs, Korean spicy chicken and char siu pork. 

Roll vs Bowl

138 Murray St, Perth

One of Morley’s favourite food spots has expanded into the CBD, bringing their much-loved banh mi to Murray Street. If you’re still a bit peckish after your meal then one of their spring rolls should do the trick – they’re about as big as the banh mis themselves.

Beansprout

530 Hay St, Perth

Tucked down the east end of Hay Street is this unassuming lunch bar with a passion for fresh, vibrant flavours and a (very well-deserved) cult following. We can’t go past their banh mi lettuce wraps – a crispy lettuce cup filled with your choice of protein, pickled veggies, chilli mayo, peanuts and shallots.
