Phuoc Thanh

Melbourne CBD's best banh mi secret. crispy pork perfection in Emporium food court.

A no-frills stall inside the Emporium food court on Lonsdale Street. the environment is the food court itself, busy and bright. The draw is entirely the food. Quick and efficient; eat at shared food court tables with the hum of the CBD around you.

Branch of the famous Richmond original, which has long queues and a cult following. Traditional, non-modern banh mi style. fresh baguette with proper butter and pate on the ham version, genuine pork belly crackling on the crispy pork. Vietnamese iced coffee made in-house with condensed milk. 1% card surcharge applies.

Traditional Vietnamese banh mi style. not the trendy fusion version. Butter, pate, and cold cuts on the ham version; pork belly crackling on the crispy pork. Several Vietnamese reviewers confirm the authenticity and compare it favourably to the Richmond original and to banh mi in Vietnam.

Outstanding value for the CBD. banh mi from $9 to $12, Vietnamese iced coffee $4.50. Among the most affordable and high-quality lunch options in the Melbourne city centre. Cash marginally preferred to avoid the 1% card surcharge.
