Best Banh Mi in Sydney

The Banh Mi (or Vietnamese Pork Roll) is Sydney’s favorite budget lunch—a fusion of French and Vietnamese flavors consisting of a crusty baguette filled with pâté, mayo, pickled carrots, daikon, cucumber, cilantro, and various meats. The "Pork Roll" usually features three types of pork: ham, headcheese, and liver pâté. Order a **"crackling pork roll"** if you want roasted pork with salty, crunchy skin. The trap is buying a roll from a generic bakery where the bread is stale or the pâté is omitted; the best rolls are found in suburbs with large Vietnamese communities like Marrickville, Cabramatta, and Bankstown. Expect to pay $8–$13.
