Nguyen Huong Foods Company

Prices range from $ 2.50 to $ 4.00 a sandwich tax included. Tastes pretty good, but not much filling is given. A long slice of cucumber, some pickled carrots and cilantro. Don’t think I can complain for the price, but I think I’ve tasted better, and wouldn’t mind paying a little more for something tastier and with more filling.

I don’t understand how this place gets such raving reviews for its banh mi. There is obviously not a lot of competition in the area.
They are cheap, I have to agree with that. Their service is fast (cash only) and they have a decent baguette and pâté spread. The fixings inside the banh mi is what’s missing for me. I am used to having banh mi’s with cucumbers, cilantro and pickled daikon and carrots. These banh mi only had carrots and a few strands of cilantro. A little sad to be honest.
Maybe the places I’ve been are more fusion-​ized with more fixings? But I rather pay a little more for just meats.

Stopped by for a sandwich. Usually pick up pre-​made ones at Foody Supermarket. But buying a fresh one directly from Nguyen Huong — tastes so good. Bargain at $ 2.50.
Also picked up some spring rolls. Very tasty at $ 1.25 each.
Bought the pre-​packaged «mon» at $ 4.50. One came with noodle, bean sprouts, spring roll, sausage and bbq meat and dipping sauce. Turns out portion is huge and can easily feed 2.
The other «mon» came with sausage, meat and noodle and was very good as well.
Store is a little out of the way now that T&T has closed down. But very good value and fresh tasting food to be had each time we head to the Walmart Superstore.
All out of shrimp rolls when we went at 5pm.

I’ve actually been here more than two check in’s, so don’t let that fool you. I’ve been coming here before I even got a data plan on my smart phone.
I’ve honestly never had Vietnamese sandwiches anywhere else, and I’ve also tried another location of Nguyen Huong and it was totally delicious.
I can say this review is pretty fresh as I had actually picked up two sandwiches before heading home today. My go to sandwich is the BBQ chicken one, so delicious. The sandwich is never dry, the ingredients always taste fresh and the bread has that perfect harmony of a flaky crust and super soft and moist inside. I recommend warming up the whole sandwich when you get home before consuming, it just takes it a whole other level.
Aside from sandwiches, they also have a variety of fried foods to choose from, prepared meals, packaged Vietnamese meats and desserts (which im not sure if it’s made in house).
Unless there is another Vietnamese sandwich place as good as Nguyen Huong, I don’t see myself really going anywhere else to pick up a meal as good as this when I’m craving it.

Amazing place. Super convenient and quick. The sandwiches are delicious and affordable. Don’t hesitate to ask of you want something a little different on yours as they are very accommodating.

Honestly don’t know why I havent wrote a review for Nguyen Hong yet since this is literally my backyard.
Food: Nguyen Hong has THE best banh mi hands down and its also super CHEAP! For literally $ 3 you can get a fresh 6in sub. My family has been coming here for years and always get the meatball one but I personally like BBQ pork/​chicken. Their desserts are also interesting, but I prefer the hot ones to the cold. But seriously, $ 3 no tax viet subs!
Service: It’s takeout and the ladies behind the counter are a little sassy, but hey, can’t expect much. They speak vietnamese, cantonese, and english. Don’t come right at 10 when doors open because they wont be ready yet. Don’t also come before close cause they would only have the cold cut sandwich.

Absolutely THE best cheap and cheerful traditional Vietnamese banh mi in the city.
Chewy-​fresh rolls with a crispy crust that shatters into a million crumbs as you bite into the delicious filling of traditional pâté, mayo and your choice of cold cuts or grilled meats, topped with sweet pickled veggies, very hot or not, and cilantro leaves (extra cilantro for me, please! and always ask for something freshly made, don’t go for a pre-​made).
My fave is the basic «assorted» cold cuts, with just perfectly balanced flavours, with the sweet-​ish meatball 2^nd, and grilled bbq pork and chicken coming in 3^rd. I’ll admit I haven’t tried most of the others, since these are SO good!
Yes, I love banh-​mi-​boys gourmet/​fusion sandwiches, especially the grilled pork, but at just a shade over $ 2 a pop, you cannot find a better traditional style banh mi sandwich in the city than Ngueyn Hong!

Prices that can’t be beat for great Vietnamese sandwiches. I typically get the BBQ pork with double meat. I have yet to try anything else, but it all looks good.

The banh mi is authentic and the quality is great! I recommend the #10 deluxe supreme (bánh mì thp cm). They also sell other Vietnamese dishes such as sticky rice and vermicelli. Although the quality is not as good and a bit pricey.
The service is average for an Asian place.

Do you love banh mi? Then Nguyen Huong should be the only place you should go for them. Don’t settle for anything less.
Pros:
Best banh mi in town
Prices are still good
Cons:
If you order a regular, you get one that’s premade (order the special sandwich)
I’ve been going to Nguyen Huong since forever it seems. I used to frequent the Chinatown location a lot but since moving uptown, this is the location I’ve been going to now. For those that don’t know, banh mi is basically a Vietnamese sandwich. Think sub sandwich if you will. The difference is that a banh mi is way better and and way cheaper than you’re garden variety sub.
There are other places in town that make banh mi, but if you ask me, no one comes close to this place. They have multiple locations around town so there should be one near by where ever you may be. These sandwiches are made fresh every day. I’ve got a pro tip though for all you banh mi lovers out there. If you want your sandwich made fresh right in front of you, always order the special sandwich which is basically just a large version of the regular sandwich. It’s about 50 cents more but they don’t make those in the morning ahead of time.
There’s a variety of other sandwiches from bbq pork to shredded meat. I always just get my special. It’s tried tested and true, believe you me. You have the option of making them spicy or not spicy. The prices have gone up a little since I’ve started going. It used to be $ 1.75 for a regular and $ 2.25 for a special when I first started going. It’s not $ 2.50 for regular and $ 3.00 for special. It’s still and awesome value though. Nowhere else will you get a sandwich this good for this much.
Again, there’s no better banh mi then Nguyen Huong. I’m actually a big fan of banh mi boys myself, but when it comes down to it, Nguyen Huong is still boss when it comes to banh mi. In terms of taste, speed and value, nothing comes even close.

Awesome place for some take out. Deliciously cheap banh mi. Also love the banana cake with coconut; other sweet treats are nice too.
You can eat your face off here for less than $ 5

Cold vermicelli plates are the way to go for healthy and delicious lunches that so cheap that you could eat them every day of the week! Never tried their buns, actually. Will do soon!

I have been buying banh mi from them since the 90s in China town, and am so glad that they opened a store in Markham. They have quite a few different kinds of banh mi, all good imo. Love their honey garlic sausage and their desserts. I haven’t had anything that is bad from them yet.

I always forget to do a review for here so here goes~
I must say this is the cheapest and possibly the freshest and yummiest vietnamnese buns you can get in Markham/​Scarborough!
Everything you get here is relatively cheap under $ 5 and taste so good too.
On the other hand the service you get isn’t the brightest. But this is just a takeout place so. Don’t expect much from them !
[Must try the desserts they have to offer] cause they so good ~~

Clearly not as pretentious as ban mih boys… which im still a fan off… this hole in the wall has a very butcher like feeling… but the outcome was delicious… simple quick deli styled sandwiches at 3 bucks a piece… wow…i ended up buyin quite a few and handing them out at work… nice gesture and made me look like a baller… damn…and it tastes pretty good… im gonna ask for the extra spicy next time!

$ 3.50 for BBQ pork bun — delicious
Bread is fresh. Cash no tax!
Cold cuts are cheaper and they make it fresh!
They also have platters with noodles and other stuff… Looks amazing, I’d definitely try it next time I go there.

Pretty fabulous Banh Mi sandwiches. There are few varieties to choose from but you can’t go wrong with anyone of them. The regular assorted is very good, but if you are hungry or just like an extra dose of meatiliciousness, pay a little extra to get the to get the supersized version and it would be totally worth it.
Also a great place to get desserts… the soupy kind that you get in takeaway container. There are sweet porridges made with beans or taro, sweet potatoes with jelly, and sticky rice balls in sweet coconuty soup. They look and taste far better than my descriptions. Give them a try.

This week, I tagged along with a few friends to check out one of the most recognizable Vietnamese takeouts in the area. I’m sure that if you asked any Vietnamese person where to get the best Bánh Mì (pronounced Bun Me) around, they’ll immediately point you straight to a place little place called Nguyên Huöng (New-​Wing Who-​Ong). This is a takeout that started as a little shop in the heart of Toronto’s bustling Chinatown district. Their Bánh Mì is so good that they are now operating a new location in Scarborough as well as being TNT Supermarket’s supplier for all their Bánh Mì sandwiches. After tasting their sandwiches, all I can say is Bánh Mì up baby!
Let me just say that the combination of the pickled carrots and the savoury meat just worked so well in this sandwich! Not to mention that the butter just makes the whole thing melt in your mouth. You can also purchase cuts of Vietnamese meats here to make your own version of the infamous Bánh Mì sandwich at home! Oh and did I mention the absolutely AMAZING price point of $ 2.75 per sandwich, which is just the icing on the cake for this delectable dish.
Overall, this was a great joint to catch a quick, cheap, and delicious lunch with some friends.

I always crave these buns when I’m at school far away. Definitely tell them to add extra sauce :) its the best part! One can fill you up a lot! Made fresh most of the time! They also have really good beef jerky that they make themselves. Definitely my go to for very fast meals on the go. Keep a couple in the fridge. You can also ask them to wrap them in plastic bags instead of paper to keep them longer in the fridge! :) they have raised their prices bit by bit over the years.
They’re desserts are also really good! they go for about $ 2 I believe. They also have pretty good jerky, but more on the pricey side!

Ridiculously good Vietnamese buns. Ridiculously cheap. And ridiculously far from where I live, but who gives a damn.
First and foremost, most of their banh mis are $ 2.50 — $ 3.50. I mean come on! I know that the materials used in each of them are not that expensive, but most other places would still charge much more than that for quality that’s not even HALF of what you get here. So for not overcharging your delicious banh mis, THANK YOU Nguyen Huong, thank you.
In fact, I’ll let you in on a little secret. I’ve never been a big sandwich fan. And banh mis were always a tad difficult for me to enjoy because I’ve never been a big fan of the French baguette (which the Vietnamese use in their banh mis owing to the French colonial influence). But somehow the baguette here isn’t as rock hard as what I remember sampling in other places, and it plays off the flavours beautifully.
The fiancée and I always get them spicy (you can request this!) and my favourite by far is the sweet sausage. When combined with the fresh vegetables and the creamy sauce… it is ridiculously good. And again. $ 2.50??? The creamy dessert is also really good (see the cold section opposite the cashier) and rich full of coconut milk. Oh the cholesterol.
My fiancée told me that the first time she came here the service was rather rude. But I’ll swallow my damn pride for two bucks fifty. I was fully expecting a full-​on stink eye by the servers when we came a second time, but much to my surprise the service was decent and quick, if not friendly («Thank yous» are at a premium here. I think they signed a master agreement in blood that they should never ever thank the customer when working the cashier). But I gotta admit, for the first time in my life, I was a little disappointed that the rude lady wasn’t there to give us grumpy service. It would’ve made the experience complete.
Stop reading this and go there now.
