Bánh mì in Birmingham: city-centre sandwiches and Moseley stops
Looking for bánh mì in Birmingham, England? Start with Mi Banh Mi’s dedicated baguette menu at Great Western Arcade, or head to Brúm Mi at The Dark Horse in Moseley for a pub-kitchen version. This guide explains the difference between the two, compares documented filling choices and separates current menu information from older branch listings.
Where should you start?
For a central sandwich
Use the Great Western Arcade menu for a focused baguette lunch and a choice of pork, chicken, beef, fish and tofu.
For a pub meal in Moseley
Brúm Mi combines bánh mì with a wider street-food menu at The Dark Horse. Confirm sandwich service before going.
For a vegan-labelled starting point
Mi Banh Mi distinguishes the egg-free tofu version from its vegetarian tofu-and-egg option. Order the version you want.

This shortlist covers 2 businesses across 2 addresses. Prices are dated examples in pounds sterling (GBP); owner menus and independent or delivery-platform information are identified separately.
Mi Banh Mi — Great Western Arcade
6 Great Western Arcade, Birmingham B2 5HU, England · Call the shop
A sandwich specialist for a city-centre stop. Use the Great Western Arcade address when ordering: other Mi Banh Mi listings refer to different premises.
Consider ordering: BBQ Piggy for chargrilled pork, Cocky Chick for garlic-butter chicken, or Veggie Paradise for lemongrass tofu.
Menu price example: The branch’s Toast menu shows pork and chicken examples at £11, peppercorn beef at £11.50 and Veggie Paradise at £10.50.
Opening times: Check the live collection calendar or call. A displayed next opening time is not a complete weekly timetable.
Delivery and collection: The checked Toast page is collection-only. Check another service separately rather than assuming delivery is included.
Vegetarian and vegan checks: Veggie Paradise is offered with fried egg for vegetarians or tofu without egg as the vegan version. Specify the version and confirm the spreads.

Brúm Mi at The Dark Horse
The Dark Horse, 145–147 Alcester Road, Moseley, Birmingham B13 8JP, England
A different meal format from a sandwich counter: Brúm Mi identifies The Dark Horse as its permanent pub residency and also trades at street-food events.
Consider ordering: Compare lemongrass chicken, sticky pork belly, crispy tofu and fried cauliflower bánh mì.
Menu price example: The linked delivery menu shows tofu at £9.50, chicken or cauliflower at £10 and pork belly at £11. These are platform examples, not a confirmed walk-in quote.
Opening times: Confirm Brúm Mi’s kitchen and bánh mì service with The Dark Horse. Pub opening, sandwich service and Sunday roast service can differ.
Delivery and collection: The owner links bookings and event information. Delivery platforms require an address and service-time check; an unavailable delivery slot does not establish a permanent closure.
Vegetarian and vegan checks: The cauliflower description mentions vegan sriracha mayo, but the general sandwich description includes pâté. Ask for the complete vegan preparation explicitly.

Plan your Birmingham bánh mì stop
Choose the style of visit first
For a straightforward sandwich order, start with the Great Western Arcade branch’s live baguette menu. It makes the different fillings visible before you arrive and gives a specific collection location. Do not apply a price or service window from an older Chinatown, market or food-hall listing to this shop.
For a longer pub visit, Moseley is the alternative. Brúm Mi also lists burgers, wings and rice bowls, so a group can choose different meal formats. Check whether bánh mì is being served at your chosen time, especially if a roast menu or event is running.
Check older Birmingham addresses carefully
Mi Banh Mi appears online under several branch names, including Chinatown and Tin Tin Food Hall. The current Great Western Arcade ordering page is the clearest menu-and-address pairing used here. An old delivery listing or a hygiene inspection record alone does not confirm today’s sandwich service.
Banh Mi Sai Gon is recorded at 8 Bath Passage, B5 4SZ, in the Food Standards Agency register. Its current sandwich choices and prices were not established in this check, so it is a further enquiry rather than one of the two menu-documented recommendations. Bánh Mì Cà Phê listings for Leamington Spa are outside Birmingham and are not treated as city-centre branches.
Vegetarian, vegan and dietary choices
Mi Banh Mi provides the clearest distinction in the menus reviewed: the tofu-and-egg option is vegetarian, while the egg-free version is described as vegan. Ask for that version by name and confirm any extras.
At Brúm Mi, ask about pâté and mayonnaise as well as the headline tofu or cauliflower filling. A vegan sauce in one item description does not resolve the general sandwich description. Tell staff about any dietary requirement before ordering.
How this guide was researched
The main entries use a branch-specific merchant ordering menu and Brúm Mi’s owner residency page, supported by its pub links and clearly labelled delivery prices. The FSA record confirms the Bath Passage business address, not its current sandwich menu. Older Mi Banh Mi branches are not counted as additional verified stops.
Published sources were checked on 25 October 2026. Menus, hours and delivery arrangements can change; confirm directly before a special journey. The archive city photograph is illustrative and does not show the listed shops.
