    BANH MI XIN CHAO

    Bánh Mì Xin Chào was started by two Vietnamese brothers who originally came to Japan to study in 2016. This store is loved not only by Japanese foodies but also fellow Vietnamese who miss the taste of home. Both take-out and dine-in options are available here. The house specialty is Bánh Mì Cha, which is filled with liver pâté that is cooked for more than four hours. Coupled with the fresh and abundant cilantro and chili sauce, the pâté brings out a tasteful harmony of flavors.

    Bánh Mì ☆ Sandwitch

    Bánh Mì ☆ Sandwitch is renowned as the store that made bánh mì popular in Japan. It’s owned by a Japanese lady who originally wanted to become a bakery chef, with the secret of the store’s success being its crispy baguettes that are baked every morning in-house. The house specialty, Vietnam Ham and Liver Pâté Bánh Mì, features ham and is filled with wood ear mushrooms, which add a crunchy texture to the bánh mì. Their bánh mì often sell out by the evening due to the store’s immense popularity, but you can also check out their Suidobashi branch.
