Great find, go out of your way for this place

My banh mi was ready before they had given me my change. $2 for a sandwich, I can't believe Subway exists in the world when there are places like this! Fresh ingredients, and they make their own sausage. Quick, unpretentious, just realy good food.

Fresh and delicious Baguettes

We chanced upon this place while visting Chinatown. Their Baguettes sandwhiches are delicious and cheap and you can even choose your condiments(vegetables and meat). We even bought extra baguettes from them to bring home.The place is like a cafeteria where you order pre cooked food displayed cafeteria style.

The price is right.  For the longest time, I was really enjoying their veg tofu- mix sandwich (if you're veg, careful about their sauce tho - there could be fish sauce in it).  Plus pickled white radish, carrots, and fresh cilantro/coriander.  The bun's ok, but I don't bother eating the whole bun.Desserts are great.  Good selection.Depending on my mood, I enjoy their small and large white... more

The Banh Mi is better next door.  Get the Vietnamese desserts here.  They always get me with the buy 2 get 1 free deal but I don't mind.   You can bring this across the US border so always a nice treat even if you can't finish it there.

Seriously the Banh Mi is horrible compared to Nguyen Huong. This place mainly specializes in Che (sweet soup...not pudding.) My favourites are:Che Ba Ba (banana, sweet potato and cassava drowning in coconut milk)Che Dau Den (black bean)Che Dau Xanh (mung bean with seaweed) and Che Ba Mau (three colors..actually forgot what's in it)The banh bao (steam bun) are also pretty good for the price.... more

Cheap prices definitely but way over rated.  Had the banh mi thit nuong, kind of disappointing when you see that the pork is coming out of a big tub and didnt have a great grilled flavor.  The che is buy 2 get 1 free, which you should take advantage of, bc for one it costs 2.25.  Had the banana in coconut, good nothing extraordinary. Oh well...at least we gave it a try.

I don't even know how to start this...I love banh mi's, A LOT. i had 3 banh mi's here during my visit to Toronto.  I didn't bother trying anything else but the bbq pork, they were that good.  Nothing is slathered in mayo or has old pate. Just clean pickled daikon and carrots, hot peppers, cucumber, and cilantro. And it's so cheap!!!!!

The sign says "Banh Mi & Che Cali" Tripadvisor has the name wrong

Yes, you can get lunch for $1.50. One delicious Saigon Sub on freshmade French bread, and all the green tea you can drink.
It's a cafeteria-style eat in/take out spot so don't bring your trendo-fashionista friends. There are hot food options like Pho (beef noodle soup), spring rolls, stews & braised dishes, fried chicken, cold selections & salad rolls and... more

Banh mi?  Who needs banh mi when you have such a ridiculous amount of options at this Vietnamese 'all-in-one' shop!  I'm a recent convert to this place, opting for this over it's yellow neighbor Ms. Nguyen something or other.++Pros++1. Super cheap.  For $4.50 (taxes in) I can get an order of banh beo and banh cuon.  Wicked!2. Wicked variety - buffet table of prepared foods, banh mi, banh bao... more

What's the magic dish here? Coconut milk puddings. Holy c@!p, let me at 'em!Though these may require a certain palate to appreciate, once you get over the texture... homina, homina.My favourite is the warm pudding, with the lotus seeds, tapioca and grass jelly. Get the lady to point that one out to you -- it looks like a bunch of eyeballs and seaweed drowning in milk, but gad, is it ever... more

Just another branch of the Banh Mi & Che Cali empire? Local Vietnamese/Cantonese Torontoans, can someone please verify? They make a killer (and by killer, I mean cheap) Che Ba Mau (3 color pudding/ice). So instead of battling the INSANE line @ Nguyen Huong next door, get the banh mi next door, walk over here for the che. After all, che's in the name.The banh mi baguette here, just like in LA /... more
