The sandwich is very unique. It combines between Korean BBQ and Vietnamese bread which brings out the best taste that I ever try. The staff are very f…

Absolutely love this place. Admittedly I've only ever gotten the BMTs though but I can't move past them. Considering I'm quite a glutton, it's suprisi…

Better than getting a sandwich at Subway. Their baguettes have flavour and are fresh. Not bad for a quick lunch in the city. The staff are eager to se…

Nice little shop just at Hay Street offering a fusion of Vietnamese with Korean cuisine. The owner/staff there is very friendly, offering high quality and informative recommendation too. Smashup has 3 main dishes: banh mi, noodle, and toasties. I tried the banh mi which was great. They came in 2 sizes, I chose the bigger one at $9.50. You can choose up to 2 meats (which I thought was cool) from an extensive options including bbq pork, roast pork, spicy chicken, beef bulgogi, tofu, prawn and mang more. I chose the spicy chicken and roast pork. The owner was thoughtful that he even went to the extend of putting the roast pork on the side closer to the opening of the bag so you would eat the roast pork first before the spicy chicken. That way, the spiciness would not dilute the flavour. I really appreciate this little but meaningful gesture. The meat was soft, well marinated and blend nicely woth the garnishes to form an overall great and tasty banh mi. My only recommendation would be to request for more sauce as I find some part was rather dry and could have been better with more sauce/garnishes.
The best sandwich in the world! Outstanding sandwiches from very friendly staff. The range of meat options and customizable salads is second to none. Imagine a premium, freshly cooked, vietnamese version of Subway.
Walked past here and thought I’d try something different and I was sorely disappointed. I ordered the coconut chicken BMT.. what I got was processed chicken slices placed on the outer ends of my bun with a handful of salad. Bland, tasteless. Never again
When they said bowls I thought it meant poke bowls and Acai bowls but it was bowls of soup and noodles that featured. A nice hole in the wall. littlegirlbigfood.blogspot.com
The third bite was when the Viet flavours really hit their stride, when the crusty baguette and the freshness of the carrots and lettuce took a back seat to the burst of mint, coriander and grilled chicken.Smashup is basically a superior Subway, located somewhat away past the City library. It works the same way – you choose a small baguette (dinner roll) for $6.50 or a large (6-incher?) for $9.50, you get a choice of sauce and salt & pepper to go with the mayo and butter, vegetables from classic shredded lettuce to the heart of a good Viet baguette – mint, coriander, spring onion – and a choice of meat. There’s also the usual noodle salads, soups and a combo meal ala Chinese buffet, but you’re not really here for that.We got chicken, and the slices, tender and flavoured with red pepper paste, had the skin kept on them. You could see the grill marks on it, and both grill and skin made it taste fantastic. But what really made it – and this is coming from a carnivore by preference – were the Viet veggies. Not too pungent, not overpowering, but definitely showing up, making it well and truly a banh mi.The owner who served us was friendly, walked the clueless pair of us through the selection, and to our relief kept the heat level from the red pepper down so it was hardly spicy at all. He does bring a good proportion of this place’s charm. Oh, and the coffee was pretty all right too.I was going to give this a 3.5, because at the end of the day a sandwich is still a sandwich, but again – it is a superior Subway, and if you think of it like that going in you’ll get a 4.0 experience. Check it out if you find yourself in the quieter end of the CBD. hubpages.com
Tried the spicy pork banh mi which is a fusion of Korean and Vietnamese food. The bread was good and pork had nice flavour though was quite oily. My roll was good, but I prefer a more traditional banh mi. Owner was friendly and helpful.
i had smashup last week, been here about 4 times for lunch during work – korean style banh mi 3x and sweet potato noodles once. yummy food, friendly staff, cool concept. this is the best (and somewhat undiscovered) lunch strip in the city with stuzzico and fresh made!
