In my honest opinion, without offending anyone who may find this offensive, I want to quickly mention what I believe the world needs to hear. There is a possibility I may get cancelled but I want to assure whoever is reading this that I am trying to be the most humble I can be. This was by far one of the best takeaway spots I’ve tried! The Vietnamese coffee was honestly one of the best I’ve ever had – perfectly strong, smooth, and just the right amount of sweetness. The potato scallop was golden and crunchy, and the banh mi was packed with flavour in every bite. Watching the numerous Vietnamese aunties and unc running around behind the counter gave the place a nostalgic, old-school takeaway vibe that made the experience even better. Definitely coming back!

Hands down the best crispy pork banh mi! Crispy roll, fresh veggies, generous toppings. Vegetables are thick so you can actually taste the different veggies. Also very clean and great customer service.

Our go to breakfast spot as it’s quick and close to our area. Today, we tried more than just their Bahn Mi, fried dim sum, and potato cake we also had their strong Vietnamese coffee, which was amazing! I added soy milk, and it tasted even better.

Super generous! Awesome Banh Mi, I had the crispy pork, low price AND they really jammed the food in, plenty of pork and crackling, friendly serviced no wonder the tradies were coming through in waves! Also got hamburgers, wraps, curry, chips, in case I am feeling more western sometimes. It’s a takeaway place but has 3 tables inside with 3 chairs on each so you can sit down if you want

The husband and wife team (Damo and Thanh) at Banh Mi Nem makes the best authentic Vietnamese foods at their humble takeaway shop. Their crispy pork roll and bun thit nuong are honestly my fav in Melbourne!!! Generous servings with quality ingredients Insider tip: If you’re a spicy lover get Damo to make your rolls (he heavy handed wit dat ishhh )

The Banh Mi's are very good, great pate and good balance of meat and salad. Photos of the chicken and bbq pork. The roast pork is awesome too.

Good filling in the banh mis. Pork was definitely crackling, so that was great. Would also recommend the viet tomato meatball banh mi as the sauce was delicious. Not common but they add crispy shallots (I think?) and chilli oil which gave some crunch and flavour! A bit different to the other ones around. They also have other fried snacks for extra options. Super friendly guy that served us too thank you.
