Banh Mi is their specialty. It is the best Banh Mi spot in New Westminster and their subs are very delicious. Always craving for it. Located near New Westminster skytrain station and bus loop and it is near Douglas College of New Westminster. My favorite Banh Mi is their Prawn and Pork Cake Roll. In my opinion, it is one of their best sub and it is so much better to have it with their Vietnamese coffee. Check them out!

Tried the lemongrass beef banh mi (pictured) and the house special banh mi, both are phenomenal! So fresh and perfectly portioned meat, bread, and toppings. I’m excited to come back and try the salad rolls in the future! On top of all that, the owner is super nice and welcoming. We love a friendly, high-quality local business to support!!

Super yummy hole in the wall banh mi! I got the vegan chicken and it was delicious love supporting small businesses. It’s a very small place so definitely you would come to get a quick bite or to go.

First time here and got takeout. The bread is amazing quality and filling is tasty and generous. The summer rolls were made with love. Well constructed (don't you hate it when they fall apart while eating?) and delicious. Everything was super yummy and we will definitely be coming back!

Banh Mi Bar never disappoints Wide array of vegan and non-vegan banh mi’s and rolls. Every time I visit, many of their items are sold out. Rolls are thicker than any other place I’ve been to. Great place to satisfy your banh mi or salad roll cravings

Loved the extensive selection of banh mi options and other snacks. We ordered the house special, cold cut, beef meatball, vegan lemongrass chicken, vegan bbq beef (pictured) subs in addition to the vegan salad rolls and Vietnamese iced coffee. Everything was delicious, but I loved the house special and cold cuts subs the best. The bread is made in house, and the veggies are crisp and fresh. They were sold out of the fish cake option; would love to try it next time as it was highly recommended.

Best banh mi I’ve ever had in this small hole in the wall restaurant. Bread is super crispy. Heavily recommend it!

Mostly a takeout banh mi (Vietnamese sandwich) place that also serves salad rolls, and coffee/milk tea and soft drinks. There’s limited stool seating by the window (about 4 stools). Service is always quick, friendly, and at the counter. I like the fresh bread, quality ingredients, and selection on the menu. I find myself coming back here often when I’m in the area and need a quick and tasty bite.
