Sydney Banh Mi · Sydney
Vietnamese baguette filled with pork, pate, pickled carrot and daikon, cucumber, fresh coriander, chilli and a slick of mayo. A reliable Sydney pick.
Vietnamese refugees brought the banh mi to Sydney from the late 1970s, with the first banh mi shops opening on John Street, Cabramatta. The Marrickville Vietnamese diaspora extended the canon into the inner west from the 1990s; Marrickville Pork Roll on Illawarra Road became the iconic A$5 lunch. Sydney's banh mi tradition is now the deepest of any non-Vietnamese city in the world, with KK Bakery's chicken Maryland roll and Phu Cuong's Maggi-heavy classic representing two ends of the style.
