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.

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.
Quite possibly the best banh mi I've ever had. I always get the original anywhere I go. I'm so impressed with the flavor in this little sandwich! I do wish they packed just a bit more in the bread but the flavor is there. So good! Pro tip: get two, refrigerate one & eat the other the next day it literally is just as good
New favorite spot for banh mi. They're not trying to do anything new or fancy with their sandwiches; just classic recipes done right with fresh ingredients. Plus, they cost less than most other places, & the lady at the counter was super nice.
Cet endroit jadis connu pour ces célèbres Banh Mi, c'était mon endroit préféré pour plusieurs raisons , l'abondance de viande , sauce soya , le service .
L'endroit n'as pas changé mais ils ont accentué leurs services Banh Mi avec un comptoir lumineux où l'on voit les condiments de choix possibles.
L'endroit est propre & bien disposé, il y a quelques places assises pour manger sur place.
Malheureusement je n'ai pas trouvé cette magie dans le temps, oui le service est là mais c'est plutôt le sandwich en tant que tel, il manque monstrueusement de viande !!!! Très très mince couche (ou tranche) dans un si gros pain.
La sauce n'est pas la même & encore une fois trop peu.
Évidemment la mayonnaise de couleur jaune donne ce goût unique à ce sandwich.
J'aurais aimé donné une note plus haute mais le sandwich m'as laissé sur ma faim ( oui j'avais faim après ce sandwich)
Mais rien ne vas changer beaucoup de clients ne viennent que pour ça & je leurs comprends amplement étant moi-même venu juste pour ça .
J'ai pris le B1 original
B4 , B5 & B10
**** je suis retourné & c'est vraiment beaucoup mieux , je recommande
C'est très bon !!!!
I used to come here a few times a week, but over the last couple of years the fillings in the sandwiches have gotten thinner & thinner, & it's honestly sad. I understand inflation, but I'd rather pay a bit more & get the generously filled sandwiches you used to make.
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.
I love this place for its convenience & the fact that they are truly delicious banh mi's. The only downfall is one employee who really does not put any love in making the sandwiches & most times skimps out on the ingredients, the rest of the team are friendly & clearly put care into making a good banh mi but it's really a shame that I leave disappointed whenever I get my sandwich made by what seems to be one of the managers… for the most part I love this place but I truly am bummed out when I see it's them making my sandwich:
