I just had the tofu bahn mi, and it was one of the best I’ve had in months. Definitely worth the visit (also not bad on prices, but I had to use my credit card which caused a slight uptick in the price, so I recommend bringing in some notes).
Banh Mi is really nice, not very authentic compare to a Vietnamese banh mi, but still is really good and quality. I wouldnt recommend ordering Pho…it’s not very nice. But definitely give banh mi a try here!
Correctly constructed banh mi, with bread pulled out of the centre of baguette and discarded, and served warm. Was disappointed that the only choices for filling were pork belly or beef. The braised beef was very tender and tasty, but there could have been more of it. The whole point of pulling out bread from the middle ot the baguette is to create room for more filling.
In a rush to grab some lunch on the way back to work we popped into this very cute looking Vietnamese place. I’m slightly obsessed with Vietnamese food at the moment and as soon as I saw the word from across the street I made a beeline for the place. The menu looked interesting and well priced: baguettes for 5.50, noodles for 6.50. You could choose the topping/meat to go with it, the Pork sounded particularly good. There is also a little cabinet with some chicken soups and rice paper rolls to choose from. I am a sucker for a good rice paper roll so I ordered one of these with prawn and a chicken noodle soup. Altogether 4.80 which is fairly well priced.The rice paper roll was a bit of a let down, no real flavour, barely any noodles and two baby prawns… basically a spinach roll. It was still good but not anything like what I have come to expect from Vietnamese. The soup also a bit stingy on ingredients, three pieces of chicken and mainly just broth. My friend had the pork baguette and said it was good. Nothing mouth exploding good though. All in all a bit mediocre. Nice but not exceptional, which is a shame as the interior is really cute and the staff very very friendly!
I am very particular about my Vietnamese food. Ever since a trip to Vietnam a few years ago, I have been on the hunt to find authentic Vietnamese perfection. I have yet to find it in London.That’s not to say Bahn Mi 11 isn’t great. The ingredients are wonderfully fresh, but somehow the whole meal tasted more British-Vietnamese than truly authentic. I ordered fresh spring rolls to start, followed by the chicken on rice noodles, and a freshly prepared fizzy watermelon juice. I did not enjoy the spring rolls. They were way too heavy on the lettuce and too stingy on the noodles. It didn’t really taste as though the ingredients had been marinated, either, so the overriding flavour was the leafy greens, which would be fine if I had ordered a salad.The chicken and noodles were good, but, in my opinion, not actually that authentic. The homemade pickles and crispy onions were great, but something about the sauce was just not hitting the mark. I feel like it was missing fish sauce, but it could have been something else. The marinade on the chicken was also tasty, but somehow missing the Vietnamese mark, even though it was marinated in coconut milk and lemograss. The juice was delicious (I love anything with Watermelon!)To wrap up, I think Bahn Mi 11 offers an interesting menu and a cute venue, but I wouldn’t recommend it to someone craving traditional Bun Bo Xao with lots of noodles, sliced veggies and fish sauce dressing.I will be back to try their Bahn Mi!
I was recently introduced to an incredible Vietnamese shop called Bnh M 11 thanks to my friend Boni being friends with the creators. She rounded up a few of us from work and we set off for Old Street ready to have our tastebuds wowed with a multitude of herbs and spices!Bnh M 11 was created by a couple of friends who left their high-flying business careers behind in order to bring classic Vietnamese street food to the masses of our nation’s capital! Their bnh m baguettes have received high praise and raved reviews, even the backing of some top celebrity chefs, such as Jamie Oliver and Nigel Slater.As soon as you arrive you’re met with a wonderful smell of cooking and a cheerful hello. However the shop was quickly drawing a lunch time crowd so we got out orders in fast as we had been hankering for our fill all day!It was extremely hard to decide on what filling to get in my baguette. I was torn between the Imperial BBQ, Fish Q and the Cracking Pork Belly, all three sounded amazing but I finally went for the BBQ option, which consisted of grilled pork, marinated in caramel and lemongrass.They also create bns, a noodle salad and com, a rice box with sushi rice and if you’re still feeling peckish you can add on a few summer rolls filled with a variety of ingredients too! It is all made to your specification with regards to how spicy you like it and is prepared freshly in front of your eyes.When my Imperial BBQ arrived I dove straight in without any hesitations. The first bite was exquisite and completely unique. The pork was succulent and tender, melting in your mouth immediately. The flavour was slightly sweet and extremely moreish. Salad was cruncy and the coriander was potent, which helped transform this dish into a real Far Eastern treat!Bnh M 11 is a really refreshing and original alternative, whether it be for lunch or dinner. My only wish is that I worked closer as its the perfect option to grab one and then find a nice spot to plonk yourself down in the sun and feast upon mouthfuls of incredible flavours. Hurry yourself down to Bnh M 11 and indulge in some of London’s finest Vietnamese cuisine!EnjoyWe The Food Snobs x wethefoodsnobs.com
