Banh Mi Ba Le - Toronto, Ontario

Quaint little shop. The chicken banh mi I had for 6 CAD was not worth it in my opinion as there was very little chicken filling.

Shrinkflation! So sad! What has become of the cold cut bahn mi at this joint? All bread, barely any meat or toppings. Still super friendly service as always. Don't get me wrong, the bread is really great but I am still hungry.

Follow @bredgyeats for yummy food pictures! Banh It Tran - When I'm craving some Vietnamese street food, these places have me covered. Whether it's giant mochi balls stuffed generously with mung beans and minced pork, the wrapper is made with glutinous rice flour for a satisfying, chewy texture. Served with a ... sweet fish sauce and topped with scallion oil and fried onions for an extra kick in aromas too. Banh Cuon - wrapper is paper thin, but sticks together and breaks easily. The minced pork is seasoned with black pepper with crispy onions on top and woodear inside. Read more

+ All dishes were tasty + Friendly staff + Reasonable price - Chopsticks, spoons, tables, facilities were not clean overall

I normally do not write reviews as I know it can hurt businesses. This could be an off day but I’m rating this base on this ONE experience. Unfortunately, the banh mi I got was lacking (as you can see) there was barely any filling, the pate and butter wasn’t ... even smear properly or even visible lol. As someone whom is Vietnamese, I would have expected them to atleast understand how another Vietnamese would appreciate their banh mi to be prepared. I hope this was really just an off day for them but needless to say, it was enough for me not to try them again. Read more
