Bahn Mi reinvented!
Bahn Mi Boys is a great spot for cheap, yet filling, eats in the downtown core. They do Bao, Bahn Mi, Kimchi ries and tacos.
The Bahn Mi is fresh and delicious, a generous helping of meat is topped off with fresh crunchy picked carrots and radish with fresh cilantro. Though I do miss the mayo and pate that authentic Bahn Mi has I am sure this version is much healthier. For $5.50-8 the sandwich makes for a great lunch.
The bao is an exceptional value. Unlike many other places that offer bite sized bao, Bahn Mi Boys offer up a heafty bao with your choice of meat (or tofu). For around $3.50 to $4 you can sample quite a few varieties or just have one or two as a inexpensive snack.
I also tried the Kimchi Fries, I had them in the past on the Yonge St. location and totally fell in love with the taste of the sour pickely kimchi and the creamy mayo and spicy siracha sauce. However, this location seemed lacking, not sure if it was the Kimchi that lacked Korean chili flavour or something else but it just wasn't as delicious as I remembered. But it was still tasty nonetheless.
Highly recomend trying for a quick, cheap bite if you're hangry and in the area!
