| - Love Banh Mi Boys! A nice medium sized menu - from baguette sandwiches, their sweet baos, and their flakey tacos - filled with your choice of delicious fillings like pork belly, squid, duck confit, beef cheeks and more... and topped with crunchy pickled radishes and slaw topped with spicy sauce, and sweet mayo....how can you go wrong?
My personal favourite is the squid taco - not your typical taco shell - it resembles an indian paratha shell, or chinese pancake. It's a flakey, cripsy shell that has a wee bit of chew that helps retain the insides of your taco. The squid is fried in a light batter, and is seasoned well. The squid is tender, and not over cooked at all. Slaw, some type of spicy mayo brings the whole thing together.
The pork belly bao is also really tasty, however, I do find the combination of the pork belly and the bao and the pickled radish to tip on the sweeter side. But you get a decent sized piece of pork belly, and it's a complex tasting sandwich. The bao is the perfect vehicle for the rich fatty belly and then you have the crunch of the radish. Just delicious!
Kimchi fries are delicious as well! If you like kimchi, and you like mayo on fries...this is your jam. spicy, sweet, salty, hot / cold...SO GOOD!
The baugettes are good - but in all honesty, I wouldn't go here for a baguette sandwich -the bread is not as cripsy on the exterior as other banh mi places. The traditional banh mi places don't offer the same tasty fillings as BMB though. And I would rather get a nice sweet bao or flakey taco when I am here.
The staff is friendly - quick and efficient. This is fast, good food at a VERY reasonable price. And the variety on the menu is an invitation for repeat visits just to try all their items!
Finding a seat can be difficult at times since it's a small area- but it's fast food - so you don't have to wait long for a table to free up.
