Noticed some very good reviews for Banh Mi 24 so decided to stop by to see how it is. Not a lot of great great banh mi places in the area compared to the west end of the city as my go to place is generally Nguyen Hoang, but after today I have a new one to visit frequently!
Located deep in a newer plaza, Banh Mi 24 is a small store that serves banh mi, rice and vermicelli dishes, desserts and other Vietnamese specialities. This review is for the banh mi.
Price wise they range from $3-$5 so a little higher then most places but they give you way more in quality and taste. I ordered the grilled chicken banh mi which was outstanding. You are given a choice if you want your bread toasted or untoasted... um...no brainer for me...toasted of course!!!
Tons of tender soft flavourful grilled chicken along with pickled carrots, pate and mayo that goes so well with the soft toasted bread. Most bread at banh mi places tend to be hard to chew but here they are soft and tender. Its going to be very hard to go back to untoasted bread from now on:)
Its a little longer as they make each order individually but it is so worth it. Some tables to sit down on so you can eat your banh mi while its still warm. Will definitely be back to try everything else on the menu.
