The recommended Banh Mi Saigon by the staff for 780 yen was a fateful encounter when I was feeling a little hungry. The refreshing and well-balanced flavor made my heart dance in the living room. From the first bite, the crispiness of the carrots, daikon, and cucumbers was invigorating, and the juicy char siu spread in my mouth. The exquisite sauce tied everything together, and the combination with the firm French bread was absolutely perfect. This is the true deliciousness of Banh Mi. I truly wanted to try other menu items as well. The greatness of this Banh Mi only increased with each bite, and I was continuously impressed. I was amazed by the realness of this Banh Mi and was completely satisfied with its deliciousness. I have a strong desire to try other flavors as well, and I am eagerly looking forward to my next visit. This encounter feels truly fateful, and I am excited to continue enjoying the experience of meeting this Banh Mi.

I wanted to eat a crispy and delicious sandwich, so I headed to a popular sandwich shop, but there was a long line. Instead, I decided to go to Banh Mi Bakery. Among all the Banh Mi shops in the city, this one is my favorite. It has a taste closest to the local flavors. The texture and baking of the bread, along with the harmony with the fillings, are excellent. On this day, I had a ham and pate sandwich with plenty of pickled vegetables. The right amount of acidity and the harmony between the ham and pate were exquisite. The consistent deliciousness made me feel relieved. There are a few chairs on the street in front of the shop, so I sat there and enjoyed my sandwich. This Banh Mi has an easy-to-eat texture where the bread and fillings are integrated, making it easy to enjoy. This may be because the bread is carefully made specifically for Banh Mi. It resembles a baguette but is unique to Vietnamese culture. The bread is made from scratch at the shop. I ate my sandwich quickly and left. Indeed, this kind of stand-alone sandwich shop is the best. I don't even need a chair, just a small table or counter would be enough.

While searching for a bakery in Ebisu, I happened to come across this place and decided to give it a try. It is located on the first floor of a somewhat run-down building, lacking the stylishness typically associated with Ebisu. There was a slightly unpleasant smell, possibly due to the presence of many other shops in the area. I ordered the fried tofu and seasonal vegetable banh mi for 680 yen and waited about 5 minutes to receive it. There was a space nearby where it seemed like they were baking bread. The sandwich came in two sizes, mini and regular, and I chose the regular size. It was quite hefty and substantial. The bread was incredibly delicious, remaining chewy and crispy even when cooled. The thick fried tofu was generously filled, along with plenty of mushrooms and vegetables. It was a healthy and filling banh mi, very tasty. The coriander was quite strong, so it may not be suitable for those who dislike it (but apparently, you can ask for it to be removed). With the option to customize toppings, it seems like a place where you can enjoy experimenting. I would definitely consider using this place for takeout in Ebisu again in the future.

One day, I went to Ebisu for some errands and then visited two bakeries. The first one was "PADARIA," where you can enjoy bread from around the world. The second one was "EBISUBANHMIBAKERY" located in a retro building called "Ebisu Store" in front of Ebisu Station. I ordered the most popular item, the "Banh Mi Saigon" for 780 yen. It was a sandwich with homemade bread filled with char siu, liver pate, cucumber, pickled vegetables, chili sauce, and coriander. The bread was crispy and simple, but delicious. The flavors of the ingredients were well-balanced and the overall taste was gentle yet satisfying. The bakery also had a charming atmosphere, with a bakery workshop right nearby. Enjoyed the experience of eating there.

I'm not sure if this Vietnamese Banh Mi shop is authentic, but I really like it because they source their flour and ingredients directly from Vietnam. The taste is similar overall because they use ingredients imported from the homeland, but it has a healthier feel to it and is more filling, making it easier to eat. I used to like the one in Takadanobaba, but the portion size has decreased over time. This one has a good amount of cilantro in it. I can't choose between the two, they're both so good. Thank you for the delicious meal. I will definitely come back again.

After all this time, I came back to this place after 5 years. The staff are still efficient and quick. It's easy to order with the photos next to the register. I got my favorite beef tendon grilled banh mi regular. I love bread, so I ordered two. The mini size was sold out. They put everything in a bag, making it easy to take home (bag is free). When I got home, I dug in! Delicious! The combination of cilantro, pickled vegetables, and meat is amazing! The bread is also delicious! It's just on a different level of tasty. Next time, I might try the one with avocado. Thank you for the meal.

I went to a Banh Mi specialty shop in Ebisu. It was my first time trying Banh Mi! I've always wanted to try it!! I arrived about 30 minutes before opening. There were about 4 groups of people lined up before me. I ordered the classic Banh Mi Saigon and Lemongrass Banh Mi to share!! Honestly, I didn't expect it to be this delicious. The rich and juicy flavor of the liver pate and pork is strong, but the pickled vegetables and cilantro make it refreshing!! And the bread is also delicious. It's softer than French bread but not as hard as a dinner roll, making it easy to eat and delicious. It definitely ranks in the top 5 most delicious things I've ever eaten in my life. It's so delicious that I will come back regularly.

The health check-up was in Ebisu, which was great, but it ended at 3:30 pm... There are very few places where you can eat at this time in any town. I was so hungry and walking around aimlessly, and before I knew it, the station was right in front of me. Since I hadn't eaten anything since last night, my stomach and back were practically stuck together. I couldn't resist, so I rushed into a place without even knowing what kind of shop it was, and ended up trying my first Banh Mi!! Banh Mi is essentially a "Vietnamese sandwich". Here, there are around 10 menu options depending on the filling (pork, chicken, mackerel, shrimp, etc). I ordered the most popular one, the "Banh Mi Saigon". After a few minutes of waiting on a bench in front of the store, I received the Banh Mi wrapped in semi-transparent packaging. The filling included char siu, liver pate, cucumber, pickled vegetables, chili sauce, cilantro, etc. When I tried it, the bread was surprisingly crispy and easy to bite into. I was actually prepared for it to be like French bread, causing me to bleed in my mouth (lol), but it was delicious and didn't happen. The emphasis on "going on a bread training trip to Vietnam" was interesting. The sign also mentioned "homemade bread". Looking at the shop's website, it seems to be a bakery that focuses on traditional Vietnamese bread making. In addition to the bread, the liver pate forms the base of the flavor, while cilantro and chili sauce add an exotic touch. Quite tasty. I would definitely want to try Banh Mi again if I have the chance!

The taste alone deserves 4 stars. Located about a 2-minute walk from Ebisu Station, this shop is inside Ebisu Store. They offer freshly made authentic Banh Mi, a Vietnamese sandwich made with bread dough and filled with Vietnamese ingredients. Banh Mi became popular in Tokyo after Michelin-starred French restaurant chef sio Tabata introduced "HEY! Banh Mi" in Yoyogi-Uehara. I chose the most popular Banh Mi Saigon and a set with Vietnamese coffee using KUKU's Vietnam blend. The Banh Mi Saigon with crispy thin crust bread (soft inside) baked that day was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

I have always been curious about EBISUBANHMIBAKERY (Ebisu). It's a Vietnamese sandwich that I see in various areas. "Banh Mi" means bread in Vietnam. It's a sandwich with fillings sandwiched between a soft small French bread. Many Vietnamese restaurants offer takeout, but the prices are a bit high for me. Recently, I've been visiting Ebisu for work quite often. There is a takeout specialty shop near the station. The prices here are not as high, so I decided to try it today. I purchased the cheapest item on the menu, the Chicken Satay Grilled Banh Mi. It's my first time experiencing Vietnamese fast food in over 50 years of living. I ordered the mini size (450 yen). I paid, got a number tag, and waited for my order. There were a few people ahead of me, but I got my order in about 5 minutes. I sat on a bench in front of Ebisu station and opened the paper wrap. Inside the cute-sized French bread, there were colorful fillings. Now, let's eat! The bread from the bakery was super crispy with a great texture. Inside, there was chicken satay, green onions, cucumber, daikon, and a little cilantro. I didn't notice the pickled vegetables in the menu, but I should have checked beforehand. I'm not a big fan of raw vegetables due to my unhealthy eating habits, but the Vietnamese sandwich seasoned with ethnic sauce was really delicious! The meat was juicy and plentiful, and the bread didn't get soggy even with the vegetable moisture. I should have gone for the regular size after all. I thought it would have a Vietnamese touch because they use French bread, but it's difficult to establish a national dish with only original ingredients from that country, right? Isn't this the ultimate Vietnamese fast food? Anyway, the baguette was delicious! Banh Mi Encyclopedia: A new sandwich from Vietnam and Mumbai [Yumiko Adachi] - Rakuten Books

Ebisu Banh Mi Bakery is the 5th stop on the Banh Mi tour, and it's definitely the grand finale! I had been putting off visiting this place because I just knew it was going to be amazing based on the photos and information alone. And boy was I right! The Saigon Banh Mi for 780 yen was just outstanding! The bread was incredibly delicious, with a thick and beautiful form. The layers of flavors were just on another level. The sandwich had crunchy cucumbers, generous amounts of liver pate, and moist ham. The cilantro was just right, and the chili sauce had a nice kick to it. I also noticed that they had green chilies as a topping option, which I will definitely try next time. This Banh Mi was almost perfect, and it's clear that the bread plays a huge role in elevating the overall taste. The bakery strongly emphasizes preserving the authentic taste of Vietnam, and it really shows in their food. I've tried about 10 different Banh Mi places before, but this one definitely takes the crown!

It's been a long time since my last visit. It was in this shop where I first encountered Banh Mi. Unlike back then, I am already used to Banh Mi, so this time I chose the mackerel Banh Mi instead of the Saigon Banh Mi. The mackerel had a strong fish flavor, yet it was lighter and gentler on the stomach compared to the meat. It was not greasy, with a nicely salted and firm texture. The tomato and pickled vegetables helped balance out the fishiness, making it quite delicious overall. I think I hurt my mouth a bit with the last bite. The ambiance of the shop also added to the experience, making it a place that will stay in my heart for a long time.

I visited a banh mi specialty shop recommended by a friend. It's located on the corner of the first floor of Ebisu Store, so you'll find it right away when you go. The atmosphere of the shop is authentic and has a nice, flavorful feel to it. Since I didn't know what to order today, I decided to try the most popular item written as "char siu and liver pate." It's wrapped in paper like a baked sweet potato, which is nice. And the taste is spot on! This is delicious! I will definitely come back. Thank you for the meal.

I found a lunch spot in Ebisu (or rather, closer to Daikanyama) that had a long line even on weekdays. I had seen this place before and was intrigued by the menu and atmosphere, so I decided to visit on my day off. After enjoying lunch, I stopped by a banh mi shop called "Ebisu Banh Mi Bakery," which I had liked for a while. I have been going there multiple times since it opened. Another favorite banh mi shop of mine is "Banh Mi Sandwich" in Takadanobaba, and whenever I go in that direction, I always make sure to stop by. When I can't go far, I visit "Ebisu Banh Mi Bakery" nearby. Last time, I tried a banh mi made with healthy mackerel, and it was surprisingly delicious. So this time, on my way back from Ebisu, I bought a mini-sized banh mi with fried mackerel and tomato sauce for 500 yen. I made sure to get the pickled vegetables (carrot and radish) on the side this time because I had forgotten to last time, and I took it home. Banh mi is really delicious, and the pickled vegetables play a crucial role in enhancing the flavors. The pickled vegetables add a refreshing touch, especially in the summer heat. They are good for the body, aid in recovery, and provide a cool texture. Banh mi goes well with any main ingredient, and the pickled vegetables do not overpower the flavors but complement them. The combination of mackerel, tomato, and crunchy pickled vegetables in the banh mi is simply delightful. It's healthy and delicious, easy to eat, and I wish there was a banh mi shop that I could easily visit without taking the train. Maybe one will open in my neighborhood, and I will definitely become a regular customer. The mackerel and tomato banh mi is delicious and highly recommended!

I went to a restaurant recommended by a friend, but it was unexpectedly not delicious. It lacked the expected spiciness, and the taste was only sweet due to the seasoning on the radish and carrots. I ordered the most popular item, but I don't think I will ever go back.

During the coronavirus pandemic, on hot and humid days, it's easy to become sedentary and end up eating too much without enough exercise. Sometimes you just feel like you need to move a bit. I recently learned about a restaurant called "Corsica" located between Ebisu and Daikanyama, which will be closing at the end of this month. I felt like visiting, so I decided to check out some other nearby places as well. One of the places that caught my eye was "Ebisu Banh Mi Bakery," which has been popular since it opened. I had visited a few times in the past, but it had been about three and a half years since my last visit. The last time I went, I was going to a famous taiyaki shop called "Hiiragi" in Ebisu, and I remembered how I used to buy banh mi whenever I came to Ebisu. So, without much thought, I decided to stop by (*´艸｀*) The menu had changed a bit, and I noticed that the mini-sized banh mi was now priced starting from 400 yen. I was surprised because I remembered it being more expensive. The mini-sized banh mi here is quite thick and round, unlike the baguette-style banh mi you find at other places. I decided to try the "Chopped Salad" mini-sized for 400 yen and the "Fried Mackerel in Tomato Sauce" mini-sized for 500 yen. Both were new to me, especially the mackerel. When I got home, I tried the Chopped Salad Banh Mi, but the vegetables had released some moisture into the bread, making it a bit soggy. I had forgotten to ask them to pack the salad separately for longer travel. Usually, I prefer my banh mi toasted, so the bread is crispy on the outside. I have tried banh mi from various places before, and I have always associated it with the tangy pickled vegetables that are a must-have in banh mi. So, eating the Chopped Salad Banh Mi without those pickled vegetables felt a bit lacking in flavor. However, the abundance of finely chopped vegetables made it tasty and satisfying for both my body and soul. I have recently become interested in mackerel sandwiches due to the mackerel boom and their reputation as a versatile and healthy food. I was curious about how the strong flavor of mackerel would pair with bread. I tried the Fried Mackerel in Tomato Sauce Banh Mi the next morning.

[Ebisu Banh Mi Bakery] (Ebisu) This is a highly praised shop for the best Banh Mi in the world and Japan on Tabelog that I was curious about. Their homemade freshly baked bread has a crispy surface, and the Banh Mi, which comes in 9 varieties, all look almost the same (lol). Don't forget to ask them to leave out the cilantro if you're not a fan! I forgot and had to take it out myself (lol). I ordered the following 4 mini-sized Banh Mi: - Banh Mi Saigon ¥550 - Grilled pork with lemongrass Banh Mi ¥500 - Chicken satay Banh Mi ¥450 - Grilled beef tendon Banh Mi ¥500 (They have regular and mini sizes, but the mini size might just be perfect) Although there isn't a huge difference in taste between the varieties, each one does have its own unique flavor. They were all delicious, but I particularly liked the Banh Mi Saigon and the grilled pork with lemongrass Banh Mi. You can also use PayPay for payment, which is great for those who prefer cashless payments.

Sometimes I feel like eating something ethnic, so after doing some research, I ended up here. I've had Vietnamese banh mi before, but my experience is limited. When I arrived, I saw a few people waiting to pick up their orders, indicating that this place is popular. I ordered the most popular Saigon banh mi for 780 yen and the shrimp chili mayo and avocado banh mi for 780 yen. Ebi's Banh Mi Bakery offers authentic Vietnamese flavors, allowing you to enjoy the aroma of Vietnamese cuisine and feel like you're in Vietnam. Personally, I think the bread here is crispy and delicious!

I visited around 12:30 on a weekday. It is a takeout only place. There was one person ahead of me and two people behind me in line. I ordered a mini Saigon Banh Mi and a mini size of shrimp chili. When I got home and ate, the bread and fillings were authentic and reminded me of what I had in Vietnam. The bread was crispy and fragrant, and the fillings were packed. There were plenty of vegetables, and the Saigon paste was a delicious accent. I want to try all the menu items. I will definitely visit again. It's a highly recommended place, conveniently located near the station.

"Ebisubain Mi Bakery" in Ebisu offers authentic Banh Mi sandwiches. Located in a slightly shady area near Ebisu Store. They have a variety of about 10 different menu options. The most popular is the Banh Mi Saigon, which I ordered. The Banh Mi Saigon costs 780 yen, and I also got a set with juice for 150 yen. The bread was delicious, crispy on the outside. Inside, it had char siu, liver pate, pickled vegetables, cucumber, cilantro, and chili sauce. The sandwich was packed with ingredients, and the abundance of vegetables was great. It was very satisfying, although men might find it slightly lacking. If you add fried spring rolls for 930 yen, it's a great deal! This is personally my favorite Banh Mi.
