Com Banh Mì is a small hole in the wall on Tai Wong Street East in Wan Chai. The restaurant is cozy, small and colorful with bright turquoise painted all across the walls. I went one day for a late lunch and was surprised to see that it wasn't too busy. There were a few tables near the back and a lot of high tables (perfect for those grabbing a quick lunch or dinner.)
You can choose your protein: 1) chicken & duck, 2) pork or 3) beef and done 3 ways: with 1) rice, 2) banh mi, or 3) pho, and you can choose your own side all for HK$80.
I went with the juicy and fatty pork belly banh mi sandwich and ordered the garlic buttered fried chicken wings. More on this in a bit.
The chicken and duck over rice meal set which will set you back HK$80.
Another look at my banh mi and garlic wings! The banh mi was actually pretty nice. I loved how much flavor it had and how juicy the pork belly meat was. The banh mi bread was hot, crispy and only a tad moist because of the sauce from the braised pork belly.
Lastly, here's a look at the lunch menu! We also ordered drinks (lime soda $25 and a Viet Coffee $25.) The coffee took well over 15 minutes to come out even though the space was quite empty that day. Think this place has good potential especially for a quick in and out meal but hopefully with faster service.
