It's a weird feeling when you end up looking at the Google reviews for a place you have loved for many years & they do not match the reality. We have been getting 2 rouleaux (1 chicken 1 veg) & 2 noodles (both tofu & mushroom) delivered every now & then & it has always been great value & very tasty. This is not "authentic" Vietnamese but if you couldn't tell that from the outset you are being disingenuous. This is simply well-prepared takeaway food that is Vietnamese-inspired. Advice to management: the food has always been great but it's time to build on your success & make some updates to the menu. Be creative! We know you have the chops to back it up.View more

My craving for a savory Bánh Mì sandwich led me to the doors of Bánh Mì 79, conveniently located in a bustling yet accessible part of the town. The ease of finding a parking spot set a positive tone for the experience ahead.

The interior of the restaurant exudes a subtle charm, with a warm & inviting ambiance complimented by the courtesy of the staff. My order, a spicy lemongrass beef Bánh Mì, was delivered with efficiency, & its size hinted at a satisfying meal. The first bite into the warm, crispy, yet soft bun set the stage for high expectations.

However, the unfolding experience did not fully align with the initial promise. The distinct flavor of lemongrass was absent, a notable omission that made the sandwich fall short of authenticity. The coriander, although fresh, was poorly presented, hanging untidily out of the sandwich. The toppings were sparse, & the beef was chewy, not offering the tender, succulent bite one would hope for.

The request for a spicy kick was inconsistently met; the spice was concentrated on one end of the sandwich, leaving the other bereft of the desired heat. Each bite presented a fluctuation between the contrasting worlds of spice & blandness.

In conclusion, my visit to Bánh Mì 79 was a journey through highs & lows. The restaurant delivered on speed, service, & the quality of the bun, yet faltered on flavor consistency, presentation, & meat quality. The experience, although not entirely unpleasant, was ultimately unremarkable – satisfying the immediate hunger but leaving the deeper craving for a truly exceptional Bánh Mì unmet.View more

We’ve been here a few times & have eaten inside. It’s more of a fast food style sit down over a restaurant. They have high tables & stools to sit on. This time we ordered the beef pot Thai & the barbeque chicken vermicelli with two imperial rolls. The imperial rolls Were not as crunchy as expected, kind of felt like they weren’t made fresh on the spot. The dipping sauce was enjoyable. Even though you’re ordering to eat in, they serve your food in a box, not sure how I feel about that. I guess it could be a good thing if you can’t finish your meal & would like to take it home with you. You have chopsticks option & they do also have forks if you’re unable to use chopsticks. The barbeque chicken was good. They offer either fish sauce or soya sauce as a dressing. The beef pad, Thai, however, was slightly more flavorful. It’s best if you’re walking to this restaurant since parking can be difficult to find on Saint Catherine Street, it’s also possible to find a parking garage nearby to enjoy the area on foot.View more

Had a great Vietnamese sandwich, flavor overall was good, maybe a bit too salty but delicious nonetheless.
