I haven't had banh mi since I lived in Vancouver years ago, so I was really excited to check this place out. There are a variety of different banh mi, tacos and baos on the menu, ranging in price from about $3.50-$6 per item. I had the lemongrass tofu banh mi and an order of veggie kimchi fries. The kimchi fries were surprisingly delicious - I'm a bit of a kimchi snob, since my Korean mother makes the BEST kimchi at home, but there's just something about the combination of kimchi and fries that makes these completely irresistible. My only gripe was that although everything else was fresh and flavourful, I felt like the tofu itself (in the sandwich and in the fries) didn't have a lot of taste.
Everyone here was super friendly and nice though, and I feel like Banh Mi Boys epitomizes what Toronto is all about; as I sat there eating my delicious food and listening to Tupac blaring through the speakers, people of all backgrounds and ethnicities were pouring through the door to get a taste of this fabulous fusion cuisine. I'll totally be back to try the panko tofu bao and a tofu taco!!
