Banh mi is Vietnam’s culinary jewel – a humble street food that captures the nation’s history, flavors, and creativity. Hoi An brings this icon to life like nowhere else, where crisp golden bread meets homemade pâté, fresh herbs, and sauces perfected over generations. 

As you explore the lantern-lit town, you’ll find that each banh mi stall tells a different story – and this guide will help you taste the very soul of Hoi An.

Banh Mi Phuong

Anthony Bourdain once called Banh Mi Phuong “a symphony in a sandwich”. Crisp on the outside, soft inside, every bite bursts with grilled pork, homemade pâté, and fresh herbs. Travelers praise its “whole chunks of meat, not cheap processed fillings”, while locals simply call it the best in town. 

The aroma of baked bread mingles with laughter and chatter in the small, clean shop- a scene that feels timeless. Pair your banh mi with an avocado smoothie or salt coffee, and taste the warm, authentic soul of Hoi An.
