Banh Mi Bay - Menú

Whenever I am in Chancery Lane, this is always my favorite restaurant to visit. I absolutely adore the Vietnamese fried chicken and prawn noodle salad here!

Be cautious of the prawns on the dine-in menu as they are shell-on, which is not mentioned. While considered a delicacy by some, shell-on prawns can be crunchy, sharp, and overall unpleasant to eat.

The restaurant is lovely and the service is good too. However, we ordered a pho and a noodle stir fry, but in both dishes, the noodles were clumped together and difficult to eat, which was unpleasant.

Very casual restaurant, good menu selection. Busy with people waiting for takeaways but we didn’t have a long wait. Friendly staff. We tried 3 starters and shared a baguette and were full. I would definitely go back .

Decent lunches served quickly and efficiently all at reasonable prices. Everything the two of us had was fresh and flavoursome. Great for a quick lunch (and we were in a hurry) and seemed extremely popular for takeaways. Tip don’t sit near the door on a cold day. It doesn’t shut properly and it can get very chilling waiting for it to be closed again !

We were lucky to get a table reserved on the day as it was the last day of Eat out to help out. I found the prices can be add up if you order lots of starters. Good value for mains and baguettes. They do add a service charge and have forgotten to take 50% off for one of the dishes! We had not gone over the £10 discount limit per person but as it was 50% offer on food we did not quibble. We enjoyed our meal and would like to return for the spring rolls, baguette and main courses. I do miss Vietnamese food!

We pre-ordered on the phone and then came by to pick it up. It was quick and easy. The menu had quite a few interesting items and we ordered an item from each area. I quite liked their bun noodle salad since there was a fair amount of meat on them. The rice boxes were also quite nice, the Bay Special one had a few different types of meat on it. The prawn and pork pancake was also quite nice and it came with fresh herbs and lettuce. The noodles were ok. I think that the flavours were nice and the portion was not too bad. We did share it so can't be sure how filling a single portion would have been.

I just can't recommend this little gem enough. I regularly visit the branch at St Pauls on Cannon Street. The speed at which the staff work and their organised process is an inspiration to others and sets an example of how other similar chains should run. But most importantly the food is absolutely sensational here. The flavours are excellent and the quality is second to none. They consistently deliver great food and are worth every penny! I have just bought the most incredible beef brisket pho. Their Vietnamese spring rolls are also very good and their rice lunch boxes are generous. My only wish is that they did half portions of some of these dishes so that I couple keep up with my regime!

Ordered delivery and it arrived bursting with lovely juicy meat. I ordered the grilled pork with extra chicken satay. Pork was sliced thin and had bite without being chewy, chicken was thigh meat and tender without rubbery or greasiness. Could have done with a wee bit more coriander, and the bread does ansorb the meat juices making it a little soft inside, but that adds to the taste and the Vietnamese baguette held its external crunch. Summer rolls were fine, sauce with them was lovely. Would definitely recommend the 2 fillings I had. I'm not a huge fan of the terrine, cold pork and pate you get in one version these but that's just me, and some people prefer the cold meat selection. Grilled...
