Crunch & flavorful banh mi - probably one of my favorites in Manila!
Surprisingly, there are many restaurants in the Philippines that serve Vietnamese cuisine.

I ended up repeating it during my stay.
I still remember eating at Anne Le's family house in Mayapis, San Antonio in Makati in 2013 when they opened their family home to customers to have a taste of Vietnamese street food staple Banh Mi.

Best BanhMi in Manila because of their bread and wide selection of sandwiches. I personally like roast pork. This branch offers drinks and noodles.
I love Banh Mi sandwiches! This cozy little spot makes very savory sandwiches. The bread is crunchy! Crunch! The prices are affordable, you can order 2 sandwiches if you're really hungry. However, the wrap on their springrolls is a bit too sticky. I think they need to change their spring roll wrap supplier.
