Banh Mi Mai Lan - Brampton

I came to the storefront last week on Friday, and the lady next door said that they closed their doors forever the day before Thursday July 19.

10 stars . If you are in Brampton and need a $5 snack that isn't McDonald's This is it.I've had banh mi all around Toronto and this place was very good. Excellent cold cut meat banh mi or a meatball sub. She actually made it spicy. So if you like spicy food this place is for you. Amazing flavour and fresh vegetables. Not sure why people are giving such a great banh mi place bad reviews. I've been eating banh mi for years. Excellent. Lots of places don't even have fried fish banh mi but these guys do. Thanks so much and this is my go two for banh mi in Brampton !

Yummy banh mi, baguette was soft. We ordered wholemeal and meatball subs both delicious.

Bread tasted a bit stale and was too crumbly. It was a cheap sandwich through and through. Will not be coming back.

I really wanted to find a good Banh Mi... but that does not exist at this location. They sent us chopped up Vietnamese sausage instead of the BBQ. Then sent us 'stored ' steamed buns. What skip the dishes explain to me was, it 's pre-made and then 'stored ' aka in the refrigerator or freezer. At $2.75 a bun I figured it would at least be steamed from Frozen, not cooked then Frozen/refrigerated and then sent to me cold. Thanks... but NO THANKS. I have no idea what their BBQ banh mi is like, because I was sent... I don 't even know what they want to call that. The chicken banh mi was not bad and the bread quality was good, but unfortunately it was not enough for this to be a repeat order. I am really disappointed, because I was hoping for something really homemade with great flavors, and it had none of those elements period... from refrigerated steamed buns to a chopped up Vietnamese sausage instead of BBQ meat, I don 't know what to make of this hot mess. But I 'll cut my losses and make this my first and last at this establishment. It remains true, cheap things aren 't good and good things aren 't cheap. It 's a cheap sandwich and you get what you pay for, but at $4, some flavor would be nice... even some basic sauce. I do hope that their food quality improves... because the bread base is good, even if nothing else is. Hopefully they 'll improve on this and produce a good product.
