      Banh Mi in Boston

      You can get a good Banh Mi at a place in the food court at the Super 88 Market in Allston. The baguette is fresh and crusty and the filling fresh and tasty.

      163 in Boston is awesome

      The sandwiches at 163 at 66 Harrison Ave. in Boston (Chinatown) are awesome. They have Vietnamese cold cut, shredded pork, vegetarian tofu, or curry chicken for $2.75 and bbq beef for $3.00. I’ve tried the beef and it’s incredible. You won’t believe this place!

      Banh Mi – Maine

      Kim’s Gift Shop on (on St John near Congress) has banh mi sammies. She has a variety of fillings, maybe 7 options to pick from. They aren’t the best I’ve ever had, the meat is microwaved, making it a little chewy, but the flavors are still great. As far as I can find it’s your only option for Bahn Mi in Maine.

      New Saigon Sandwich
      696 Washington St
      (between Lagrange St & Stuart St)
      Boston, MA 02111

      They have reviews on yelp. My favorite is tofu.

      There’s apparently a little-known place I ended up finding through a random flickr account called the Golden Fish in Providence, RI that does a couple types of banh mi around lunchtime. They’re like $2.50 a piece, a real steal.

      They’re at:
      376 Elmwood Ave
      Providence, RI 02907

      I’m also a big fan of Pho Viet’s in the Allston Super 88

      The best banh mi is at the Hong Cuc Sandwich shop in Lowell. They have six different kinds stuffed into an incredible bread. How long will this two-hander remain at plowman prices, $2.50? Recession-proof and tasty. Vietnamese chefs we salute you!

    7. John Mclaughlin September 22nd, 2010 6:56 am :

      If you happen to live or be on the north shore of Boston, and want some delicious banh mi, theres a litle ‘hole in the wall’ that has a good selection of sandwiches, fresh folls, rice plates & tasty ‘pearl’ shakes!!, all reasonably priced ($3.50-$5.00)
      Cali Sandwich
      49 Union St
      Lynn, Ma 01902
      781-581-5090
      7 am- 7 pm

      I just had an incredible tofu Banh Mi at Chase’s Daily in Belfast, Me. Chase’s is a wonderful restaurant serving inventive dishes using fresh produce from their own farm and locally produced items. I have never had anything at this restaurant that I did not love. Breakfast, 7:00 to 10:30, Lunch from 11:30 to 3:00 Tuesday through Friday. Dinner Friday only 5:30 to 8:30 and Sunday Brunch from 8:00 to 1:00.

      Can Tho Fast Food
      Springfield MA

      If you’re ever in the area this is the best spot for a bite on the go! Banh Mi is made fresh to order!!

      In PORTLAND, Maine, there is a delightful little shop on St. John street called “Kim’s Gift Shop.” The proprietress makes great Bahn Mi and the bread has the most delightful texture I’ve experienced outside of New Orleans.

    13. Charmin Bear T May 5th, 2011 7:57 am :

      Boston, Massachusetts.

      Hands down, the best banh mi is in Dorchester at Banh Mi Ba Le @ 1052 Dorchester Avenue.

      Dorchester is our Vietnamese town and there’s nowhere better to get authentic Vietnamese food. If you go to Super 88 or Chinatown, you’ll be shelling out more than $3 for a regular cold cut banh mi and getting less filling. Banh Mi Ba Le also sells their home-made mayo and pate on the side. This place is awesome. If you’re a banh mi fanatic, you should definitely go there.

      Asian 99 Market on N.Winooski Ave

      Burlington, Vermont

      Best Banh Mi Sandwiches ever. Kind of a hole in the wall place, you have to flag someone down to order one, and they also have no signs advertising them. Made to order, only two kinds (beef or pork). Lack of variety is forgotten the second you have one. Great bread baked on premise, the mayo, the condiments, fantastic. A really great little market.

    15. Patti June 2nd, 2011 4:59 am :

      Another shout out for Hung Cuc of Lowell, Ma. – I’m officially addicted to these sandwiches. The flavors that come together in the Banh Mi are just undiscribable! Fantastic!

    16. Jeff July 28th, 2011 1:23 pm :

      well I just had my first Bahn Mi sandwich at the Bon Me food truck…usually located in City Hall Plaza but on Sundays they are at the SoWa Open Market in Southie!

    17. Aimee September 8th, 2011 2:53 pm :

      The Bon Me food truck in Boston at the SOWA market was AMAZING…I crave that all the time. Trying to recreate it at home now….

    18. CallMeBanh May 15th, 2012 9:13 pm :

      The best spot for Banh mi by far has to be BANHMI SAIGON in Hadley Ma. A nice little dine-in take-out place with a good selection. My favorite is the tofu.

    19. Love Them Banh June 9th, 2012 9:33 pm :

      163 at 66 Harrison Ave,Boston. can’t stop walking there from Franklin St, Boston.
      My only issue is if you ask for spicy or extra hot pepper, you never get it.
      I have resorted to bringing my on thai peppers.

    20. Moe July 19th, 2012 1:18 pm :

      Banh Mi Saigon in Hadley MA near Amherst/Northampton is outrageously delicious. I am totally addicted. The only banh mi in the same class is Saigon Sandwich in San Francisco.

    21. Durian love July 25th, 2012 7:36 pm :

      Banh Mi Saigon in Hadley MA….. I have had Banh Mi in New York and California and this place ranks up in the top 3 at least if not best. Although their choice is limited, this is a situation when it comes down to quality over quantity and they are great at what they do. If you are in the area I’d suggest hitting this place up before the college students return in the fall, I’m going to assume they will be sold out daily.

    22. Banhmilover August 2nd, 2012 2:12 pm :

      The best Banh mi in all of USA is Banh mi Saigon in Hadley massachusetts. They have the perfect blend of pickled veggies, very flavorful proteins( my personal fave is BBQ pork). I would put this up against any Banh mI.

    23. mamacate August 4th, 2012 3:12 pm :

      Another big fan of Banh Mi Saigon in Hadley. Hurray for banh mi in the Valley. I tried Can Tho and they only had pre-made cold cut style ones when I was there. I haven’t tried Banh Mi Saigon’s pho yet, because I can’t get enough of the sandwiches! I’m partial to the beef.

    24. Lee August 6th, 2012 8:51 pm :

      I’m a fan of the chicken Banh Mi from Nhu Y in Lowell. The place is a convenience store with a sandwich station. They make their own mayo and pickled veggies, and their chicken is moist and delicious, the bread very crusty outside, and just chewy enough in!

    25. Barb September 7th, 2012 6:33 am :

      There is a wonderful Banh Mi sandwich at the “Home Kitchen Cafe” in Rockland Maine

    26. Mags November 20th, 2012 4:22 pm :

      Love love love Banh Mi Saigon in Hadley, MA. The BBQ beef is top notch.

    27. Dave H January 14th, 2013 3:50 pm :

      the Bahn Mi at Lola in Nantucket is divine!

    28. Krystal K January 31st, 2013 12:23 pm :

      Novare Res in Portland has a great Banh Mi.

    29. Tina Winn June 25th, 2013 2:06 pm :

    30. Ali W November 8th, 2013 9:00 am :

      There’s a little sandwich shop inside Kam Man Grocery in Quincy Ma.
      They have awesome Banh mi and other vietnamese sandwiches.
      Yum.

    31. juneco November 11th, 2013 4:26 pm :

      Country Way Deli, Candia N.H.

      They have banh mi’s as a special about every other week.
      Fresh ingredients, all made in house. Very good.

    32. Thanh November 23rd, 2013 7:32 pm :

      Bánh mì Mia in Springfield MA
      best one in town

    33. Dan Chau January 7th, 2015 7:11 am :

      Is there anywhere in Massachusetts or nearby schools and that can teach us how to make Vietnamese sandwiches and where to buy supplies and to open a small Vietnamese sandwich shop?

    34. Sarah July 25th, 2016 10:09 am :

      FYI- Kim’s in Portland in closing end the of July. 🙁

      A little town south of Boston has a great banh mi.

      Farmer in the Dell is the name of the restaurant.
      What sets it apart is that it’s fresh.
      Meat is cooked to order not sitting in a pan at room temp.
      They have chicken or pork( my favorite because they put bacon on it)
      Everything is traditional except the bacon but it takes the beloved banh mi to the next level.
      Trust me …a Must try if you are in the hunt for a banh mi.
