I don't think I can say enough goods things about this place. Since visiting yesterday, I've been talking about it nonstop - my friends are getting sick of it, but I want to get the word out!! I first learned about BMB when I walked past their restaurant while they were still under construction. I made a mental note to stop by one day for lunch since it's so close to my work... I was not disappointed. They take simple, pedestrian food and elevate it to appeal to a broader audience. Their menu consists of banh mi (Vietnamese subs), steamed "bao", soft tacos and fries including a Kim Chi poutine. Pricing is also very reasonable starting from $3.50 for a bao.
On this particular visit, I ordered a beef cheek bao and a pork belly bao. Both were seasoned very nicely and the steamed boa was perfectly soft with just a hint of sweetness. The soft and juicy meet was offset by crisp and lightly pickled carrots and radish and a slice of cucumber. A great balance of flavours and textures.
Will definitely be back as I eat my way through their menu... Duck Confit Banh Mi, I've got my eye on you!
