Banh Mi Kitchen Treats You to The Authentic Flavors of Vietnam In Manila

One of Vietnam’s most unique and memorable street foods is banh mi, a sandwich of traditional Vietnamese cold cuts, pate, and a medley of vegetables on a crispy French-influenced baguette. The food is a staple of Vietnamese cuisine and a great example of French colonial influence on the Southeast Asian country’s culture. 

In Manila, banh mi can be found in a few Vietnamese restaurants. However, there is only one chain that offers both classic and contemporary takes on the beloved sandwich—Banh Mi Kitchen. And you don’t even have to sit in a café or resto to enjoy their freshly made and healthy banh mi. You can simply order while on the go.

Banh Mi Kitchen is behind some of the crunchiest, most delicious, and guilt-free banh mi in Metro Manila. Choose the healthier option at an affordable price, and pair your banh mi with an authentic Vietnamese coffee to boost your day. 

Established in 2016, Banh Mi Kitchen is the brainchild of a group of four Filipino entrepreneurs who saw the need for healthier, yet filling office lunch options. They also wanted the tasty banh mi to be more mainstream. Today, Banh Mi Kitchen has dozens of outlets across Metro Manila and is also open to franchising.
