Marché Hung Phat operates as a specialized Vietnamese deli centered on the assembly of traditional banh mi sandwiches and authentic prepared goods. The kitchen focuses on crusty baguettes layered with savory pâté, pickled daikon, fresh cilantro, and high-quality grilled proteins that reflect classic Southeast Asian flavor profiles. Patrons frequent this counter-style destination for quick access to marinated meats, assorted charcuterie, and various essential pantry items imported directly from the region. The inventory highlights distinct spices, noodles, and specialty sauces that define the culinary identity of the establishment. Clean aesthetics and functional shelving characterize the efficient shopping environment where the primary objective remains providing immediate access to quality deli staples. Every sandwich production adheres to rigorous preparation standards that emphasize crisp textures balanced by rich, slow-cooked fillings served daily in this professional food market setting.
Marché Hung Phat is widely regarded as a staple in the community, primarily known for serving some of the best and most affordable banh mi in Montreal. Many patrons appreciate the fresh ingredients, quick service, and the authentic, classic recipes that have made it a go-to spot for years. While the overwhelming majority of experiences are positive, some long-time customers have noted a recent decline in the generosity of meat portions and fluctuations in consistency depending on who is preparing the sandwich. The establishment also offers a variety of Asian snacks, drinks, and soups, providing a convenient and casual environment for a quick lunch despite occasional concerns regarding customer service interactions or specific topping preferences.
Sadly the banh mi are not worth it here anymore. Super stingy with the filling, one layer of meat & the most thinly sliced veggies. Not the worst option if you are desperate for banh mi though
Just a block from the popular Jean-Talon Market, Marché H?ng Phát is a Vietnamese grocery that also serves bánh mì sandwiches for only $7 CAD-easily one of the best food deals I found in Montreal. For $2 CAD more, you can add extra meat, which I highly recommend.
Inside, there's a large shared table with 6-8 seats & a counter with another 5-6 spots. It's casual but convenient for a quick bite. On my first visit, I tried the grilled pork & found the meat portion very thin, so the second time I ordered extra meat, which made a big difference. The sandwiches are served in classic style with house-made mayo, pickled carrots & daikon, jalapenos, & cucumber.
I also tried the BBQ pork option, but it turned out to be more like deli-style sandwich meat, not the char siu BBQ pork I was hoping for-so I wouldn't order that again. Other options include beef, meatball, & shredded chicken.
The menu is written in Vietnamese, French, & English. The staff preparing the sandwiches may not be fluent in English, but they understand enough that you can point, & the staff at the register do speak English. Pro tip: if you're dining in & want your sandwich toasted, ask while they're making it-before it's wrapped-& they'll toast it for free.
If you're already visiting Jean-Talon Market, this is a fantastic stop for an authentic, affordable bánh mì.

Fast paced, regular lunch spot that never disappoints!
I typically order a classic, lemongrass beef, or meatball banh mi, but have also got their curry soup, which was flavourful & filling. They have veggie sandwich options too.
The prices are affordable & they have a solid selection of snacks, pre-packaged Vietnamese dishes, & drinks (Le Selzter pictured) to choose from. You can't go wrong!
My favourite banh mi in the city Tasty options I usually take b1 i also like b4 & b10 Mushroom vegetarian yes! Delicious Try it took lol Parking ️ is hell there, but everything else is great
great place for a typical bahn mi, loved the freshness of the product & the service was good, there are plenty of option but just tried the sandwich, for sure will be back
Finally! I think I've found the best & cheapest bun bo Hue (at $12.50 +tax) in Montreal. Made to order with a very robust broth, ample sliced beef shank, cha lua sausage, & optional pork hock (I opted to replace it with extra bean sprouts), perfectly chewy bun noodles, & abundant toppings of herbs + thinly sliced onions. The photo shows only half of what I received in my order.
They have two vegetarian banh-mi options, seasoned tofu & mushrooms; both were also excellent & priced at $6.50 each. There are many meat banh-mi options & several soup noodles, including bun rieu.
Despite the never-ending line, service was efficient & friendly. This is primarily a take-out & grocery store, with one table & 4 chairs. They have reasonably priced bubble teas, che desserts, & other prepared Vietnamese treats. A true neighborhood gem. �
Super yummy & friendly Vietnamese Banh Mi & Vietnamese shop on Saint Denis St. in Montreal.
This place was recommended to me by a friend who had recently travelled to Montreal & it certainly didn't disappoint. The little shop is set up as part Asian snacks, quick take out meals (i.e. Salad rolls, banh cuon, spring rolls), order at the counter meals (i.e. Banh mi, pho) & then Asian drinks to go (i.e. Iced Vietnamese coffee, bubble tea). Basically, it's a one stop Vietnamese yum yum food shop. It definitely had a small family owned vibe.
My immediate response upon entering Marche Hung Phat was that I wanted to eat & try everything! I ended up picking up some vegetarian spring rolls, banh cuon, 2 banh mi subs & 2 Vietnamese coffees. I really loved that Marche Hung Phat had vegetarian options - spring rolls & 2 different types for banh mi subs. The gentleman at the counter was helpful & friendly & lady behind the counter was quick to make our subs.
Since the shop is small & is set up partly as a convenience store, there are no tables or dine in spots (at least not that I noticed). We ended up eating back at our hotel & the banh mi's certainly didn't disappoint. The buns were fresh & the subs were delicious, same with the rolls & the banh cuon.
If you're in the area & need a Vietnamese food fix, please stop by & check out this great little place!
