The umami fillings range anywhere from bbq pork, cold cuts, chicken and even tofu, and the veggie toppings include pickled carrots, radish, cucumber, pepper and fresh herbs like cilantro.
Banh mi sandwiches originate from Vietnam and can be traced back to 1830. After French colonists introduced Vietnam to the baguette, alongside other French delicacies like pâté chaud, the banh mi (the word itself meaning "bread") was born. Vietnamese baguette, in its own right, has transformed into something completely different from its predecessor, the French baguette. Vietnamese baguettes are light and airy loaves, with an impossibly thin crust bound to leave a million crumbs behind.

Banh Mi is served all over the city from small mom and pop shops to trendier canteens and food spots that spin on traditional Vietnamese food.
