Banh Mi Bay Holborn (Holborn)

• The Vietnamese coffee is also delicious
• One of the best lunch destinations in the area
• Noodles and rice dishes with a range of meats for eating in or takeaway
• I recommend the satay chicken on Vietnamese bread a delicious combination of flavours and textures with just the right amount of heat
• The rice and noodle boxes are a treat too
• The prices are reasonable and there is a wide variety of food
• Everything is cooked on the grill which gives a good taste to the meat and a nice smell inside the restaurant
• Ga soup which was very fresh
• A good quality place that is popular in the neighbourhood
• Fresh and zingy with some of the best Nuoc Nam sauce I've ever had or the Pork Banh Mi in a soft fragrant Vietnamese bread baguette stuffed to the brim with hunks of meat
• Wash them down with some prawn summer rolls and you'll still have change left over from a tenner
• I had tjhe mixed beef and chicken pho and both meats were really tasty and not chewy at all
• Cafe style interior makes it the perfect place to catch up with friends and I've visited so many times now that the staff know me by name (oops)
• Their pickled carrots and freshly baked baguettes rival those I tasted in Vietnam and are definitely my favourite in London
• There is not a lot of space inside but they do take away lunches which are ideal if you're working in the area
• The menu is a little confusing at first because there are a lot of options
• It was fresh and bursting with authentic flavours
• I requested the medium sauce and was warned it was quite hot
• They were right but it was good as i like hot food
• It was great they warned me as i think someone with a bit less of a tolerance for spicy food would not enjoy it
• The beef was slow cooked and very tender and was perfect with the curry flavours
• 6 pound for a lunch meal it was well worth it
• As the service is always very quick
• From then I was gripped by all the textures and flavours
• Sadly at the time I had no clue what it was called to hunt for it in London until recent years I saw someone on twitter posting a photo of one
• I decided to take out as it was a hot sunny day
• My google search of what was nearby and worth it returned Banh Mi Bay &ndash
• The Vietnamese baguette is a simple dish
• S a mix of quality bread with wholesome fillings and flavours
• T say the one from Banh Mi Bay was as enjoyable
• T a proper crusty French baguette and the meat was unsatisfying
• Cold (but this is advetised) and a bit dry
• Either would have definitely helped as the pork was a tad monotone in flavour without these additions
• I request no chilli and ended up with chilli in the roll
• Their Noodle/Rice Boxes and Banh Mi baguettes are perfect for munching to go
