VANCOUVER CITY GUIDE
Best Banh Mi in Vancouver
Find bánh mì near you in Vancouver. Compare 17 researched locations, with menus, shop details and directions.
Downtown, Chinatown or East Vancouver?
A downtown lunch
Compare Viet Sub, 520 Robson Street, with Pho Mimosa, 1157 Granville Street. Pho Mimosa’s owner menu distinguishes filled Vietnamese subs from baguettes served beside a stew or skillet.
Use the exact Robson Street number: Plus 84 at 1682 Robson is a different West End destination.
Chinatown and a sit-down meal
DD Mau, 145 East Pender Street, has its own Chinatown menu and pickup link. The owner lists Tuesday–Saturday service and closure on Sunday, Monday and statutory holidays.
Check sandwich availability separately from restaurant hours before a special visit.
East Vancouver bakery branches
Ba Le at 691 East Broadway and Ba Le at 3779 Rupert Street are two distinct owner-listed Vancouver branches. The former 701 Kingsway address is not on the current branch list.
For more of East Vancouver, compare the Kingsway, Victoria Drive and East Hastings sections, or use the dietary guide.
Pho Mimosa’s menu, DD Mau’s branch page and Ba Le’s location page were reviewed 13 October 2026. Other listings retain their 11 October checks. Browse all eleven areas to compare routes from your own starting point.

This researched shortlist covers 17 specific locations in Vancouver city. Menu and source links sit beside the addresses, with owner-confirmed phone links where available. Pickup and delivery menus can differ from restaurant hours; check sandwich service before travelling.
Downtown
Viet Sub Vietnamese Cuisine — Downtown
520 Robson Street, Vancouver, BC V6B 2B7, Canada
Hours and availability: Confirm current restaurant hours before visiting.
Viet Sub’s shop at 520 Robson Street has a merchant menu with chicken, cold cuts, Vietnamese ham, meatball and a mixed special sub. Its veggie sub uses deep-fried tofu, while the kimchi sub combines tofu and kimchi.
Use this downtown address when visiting the shop near the Vancouver Public Library. It is distinct from Plus 84 at 1682 Robson Street in the West End. The retrieved veggie descriptions do not verify that bread, mayonnaise and other condiments are vegan.
Sources checked 11 October 2026. Confirm current hours and sandwich availability before travelling.
Pho Mimosa — Downtown
1157 Granville Street, Vancouver, BC V6Z 1M1, Canada
Hours and availability: Confirm current hours with the restaurant before visiting.
Pho Mimosa’s Granville Street menu has a Vietnamese sub section with cold cuts and pâté, grilled pork patty, lemongrass chicken, lemongrass pork and Vietnamese pork ham. A tofu-and-vegetable sub appears separately in the vegetarian section.
Some dishes on this menu serve a baguette beside beef stew, curry or a sizzling pan rather than as a filled sandwich. Choose an item labelled as a sub if you want a takeaway bánh mì, and ask about sauces and bread for dietary requirements.
Sources checked 11 October 2026. Confirm current hours and sandwich availability before travelling.
Selected check 26 October 2026: The owner menu lists the cold-cut/pâté, grilled pork patty and lemongrass chicken subs at C$10 each. Owner menu.
Bel Café — Downtown
801 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada
Hours and availability: Owner-published café hours: Monday–Friday 7am–5pm; weekends 8am–2pm. Confirm sandwich availability before visiting.
Bel Café is a café option at West Georgia and Howe, rather than a specialist Vietnamese sandwich shop. Its current menu lists a lemongrass chicken bánh mì with cucumber, jalapeño, pickled carrot and daikon, and black pepper jam.
Use the café’s own hours when planning this downtown stop, particularly at weekends when the owner publishes an earlier closing time. The verified bánh mì contains chicken; the presence of other vegetarian café sandwiches does not establish a vegetarian or vegan bánh mì.
Sources checked 11 October 2026. Confirm current hours and sandwich availability before travelling.
West End
Tre Viet — West End
1114 Denman Street, Vancouver, BC V6G 1T2, Canada
Hours and availability: Owner-published hours: Monday–Thursday 11am–9pm; Friday–Sunday 11am–10pm.
Tre Viet’s Denman Street menu has a dedicated Vietnamese baguette section with a house cold-cut combination, grilled lemongrass pork, grilled lemongrass chicken and omelette options. The vegetarian section separately lists a deep-fried tofu baguette.
The owner’s tofu baguette description includes mayonnaise. Treat it as a vegetarian option and ask about the bread and sauces if you need a vegan sandwich. Use the restaurant’s own menu and telephone to confirm current fillings and sandwich availability.
Sources checked 11 October 2026. Confirm current hours and sandwich availability before travelling.
S.A.M.E. Vietnamese Eatery — West End
976 Denman Street, Vancouver, BC V6G 2M1, Canada
Hours and availability: Confirm current restaurant hours and sandwich availability before visiting; delivery ordering windows can differ.
S.A.M.E. is the current Vietnamese eatery at 976 Denman Street, where Ông Bà previously operated. Its delivery menu includes traditional ham, lemongrass chicken, saté beef and battered fish bánh mì, alongside lemongrass tofu and avocado fillings.
The tofu and avocado sandwiches are not explicitly labelled vegan on the retrieved menu, so check the complete sandwich ingredients with the team. Ông Bà’s owner website now lists a Coquitlam address; use S.A.M.E.’s Denman Street details for this Vancouver stop.
Sources checked 11 October 2026. Confirm current hours and sandwich availability before travelling.
Plus 84 Vietnamese Bistro — West End
1682 Robson Street, Vancouver, BC V6G 1C7, Canada

Plus 84 is the current name used for the bistro at 1682 Robson Street. Its direct ordering menu lists spicy beef saté, lemongrass chicken, lemongrass pork, meatball and mixed-meat bánh mì, plus several tofu-based veggie subs.
This West End address previously appeared under Viet Sub. The separate Viet Sub shop at 520 Robson Street has its own details and menu. Tofu subs here are listed as vegetarian; ask about mayonnaise, pâté, bread and other ingredients before treating a sandwich as vegan.

DD Mau’s Chinatown location lists lemongrass chicken, saté beef, barbecue pork with kimchi and lemongrass tofu bánh mì on its owner-linked pickup menu. A short rib beef dip bánh mì is also listed, with a side of phở broth.
Use the East Pender Street branch details when planning your visit. The menu says its sandwiches include mayonnaise, so the tofu filling does not establish that the complete sandwich is vegan. Ask the restaurant about ingredients and possible changes before ordering.
Sources checked 11 October 2026. Confirm current hours and sandwich availability before travelling.
Selected check 26 October 2026: The branch pickup menu lists lemongrass chicken and tofu bánh mì at C$13 each before applicable fees. Chinatown pickup menu.

Obanhmi Olympic Village — Olympic Village
25 E 2nd Avenue, Vancouver, BC V5T 1B3, Canada
Hours and availability: Olympic Village owner-published hours: Monday–Wednesday 10am–7pm; Thursday–Sunday 9:30am–8pm. Checked 26 October 2026. Confirm holiday changes and sandwich availability.

The owner identifies tofu and vegan beef sandwiches as prepared vegan; tofu bologna and veggie chicken need the house mayonnaise removed. Confirm your chosen filling at this branch. This address remains on the current owner locations list; the former 701 Kingsway shop does not.

The Kingsway branch of Obanhmi has a dedicated bánh mì menu with lemongrass chicken, pork meatballs, sate beef and cold-cut combinations. Its Classic includes pâté, mayonnaise and Vietnamese ham; the Deluxe adds pork belly.
The tofu, avocado and yam sandwich is vegetarian as listed, and the owner says removing mayonnaise makes it vegan. Check ingredients and allergens with the branch. Choose 2250 Kingsway for directions rather than the chain’s Hastings or Olympic Village locations.
Sources checked 11 October 2026. Confirm current hours and sandwich availability before travelling.
Ngon Cafe — Kingsway
2228 Kingsway, Vancouver, BC V5N 2T7, Canada

Its owner-run ordering site lists the Ngon Special with braised pork, siu mai and fried egg, plus lemongrass chicken and the mixed-meat Meat Lover. Use the Vancouver address when ordering, as older material also mentions Burnaby.
The current delivery menu has an explicitly named Vegan Banh Mi with marinated tofu, shiitake mushrooms and vegan sauce. Check the menu and ask about availability before travelling. Published hours differ across listings, so the phone and current ordering menu are the most useful checks for this branch.

Banh Mi Saigon is a dedicated sandwich stop on Victoria Drive. Its official menu lists the mixed-meat Special alongside chicken, meatball, cold-cut, lemongrass pork and fish-cake bánh mì. The shop says its sandwiches use freshly baked baguettes, with pickled vegetables, coriander, jalapeño, soy sauce and homemade mayonnaise.

Pho Hong on Fraser serves a wider Vietnamese restaurant menu and a separate takeaway-only bánh mì selection. Sandwich choices include braised pork belly, char siu pork, a mixed-meat special, and lemongrass chicken, pork or beef. Its menu says the sandwich ingredients are made in house.
If you want bánh mì rather than a sit-down meal, note the takeaway-only rule before visiting.

Choosing and ordering your bánh mì
- Use the full branch address when comparing routes or arranging pickup. Obanhmi and Ba Le have separate Vancouver locations with their own opening schedules.
- Check service type: Pho Hong’s bánh mì is takeaway only, and Khoe advertises takeaway and delivery. Confirm Khoe’s lunch service before a special trip.
- A vegetarian filling does not establish that the complete sandwich is vegan. Check mayonnaise, pâté, bread and sauces, and use the shop’s stated preparation instructions.
- Plan early pickups carefully: Banh Mi Saigon can close when sold out and lists cash or debit payment. Merci Beaucoup offers bánh mì-only phone pickup from 9am on opening days and closes Tuesday.
- Use current menus for prices and stock. Delivery ordering windows can end before the restaurant closes.

How we checked these listings
Bánh Mì Hub · researched 11 October 2026
We checked owner websites, branch menus and restaurant-published ordering pages, with current merchant menus and local reporting where needed. Each entry links to a menu or source. These listings are based on desk research, rather than personal visits.
Only current Vancouver-city locations appear in the finder. The former Ba Le Kingsway shop has been removed, and the guide distinguishes S.A.M.E.’s Denman Street location from Ông Bà’s move to Coquitlam. Uncertain phone numbers, exact hours and dietary claims are left out. A source check date does not mean every menu was newly issued on that date.

Focused revision 26 October 2026: Corrected Obanhmi Olympic Village hours and postcode; added three area-specific menu-price comparisons and Saigon payment details. Other entries retain their stated source dates.
Vancouver bánh mì: local questions
Which bánh mì shop is nearest to me in Vancouver?
Choose an area close to your starting point, then use the directions button beside a full shop address. Maps lets you compare walking, transit and driving routes. The guide groups Vancouver locations by area; it does not measure your current distance or show live opening status.
Where can I find bánh mì downtown or in the West End?
Downtown choices include Viet Sub at 520 Robson Street, Pho Mimosa on Granville Street and Bel Café at West Georgia and Howe. West End options include Tre Viet and S.A.M.E. on Denman Street, plus Plus 84 at 1682 Robson Street. Viet Sub and Plus 84 are separate current businesses.
Which area works for a compact bánh mì crawl?
Obanhmi at 2250 Kingsway and Ngon Cafe at 2228 Kingsway form a compact pair to compare. Use their current menus and directions before setting off. Ba Le’s current Vancouver branches are on Broadway and Rupert Street; the former 701 Kingsway address is not an active stop in this guide.
Where can I get vegan bánh mì in Vancouver?
Khoe identifies its kitchen as vegan. Ba Le says its tofu and vegan beef sandwiches are prepared vegan, while tofu bologna and veggie chicken require mayonnaise removal. Obanhmi also instructs customers to remove mayonnaise from its vegetarian tofu sandwich. Ngon’s delivery menu explicitly lists a vegan bánh mì. Confirm your order and preparation with the shop.
Can I eat bánh mì inside every shop?
Check the service type before travelling. Pho Hong’s sandwich menu is takeaway only, and Khoe advertises takeaway and delivery without dine-in service. A restaurant’s wider menu or seating does not necessarily apply to its bánh mì orders.
Where can I get an early bánh mì?
Banh Mi Saigon publishes daily opening from 8am, with closing at 5pm or earlier if sold out. Merci Beaucoup accepts bánh mì-only phone pickup from 9am on opening days, before its normal 10am restaurant opening; Tuesday is closed. Confirm stock and pickup time directly.
Can I find bánh mì in the evening?
Some branches publish evening restaurant hours, including Obanhmi Olympic Village and Tre Viet. Confirm that sandwiches are still available for your chosen time. Restaurant opening, delivery ordering cut-offs and sandwich serving times can differ, especially at Khoe where lunch information needs confirmation.
How much does bánh mì cost in Vancouver?
Use the current branch menu for the sandwich you want. Prices can change, and pickup, delivery and add-on charges may differ. This guide links to menus rather than publishing a fixed citywide price.
