The Taste of Vietnam

At the heart of the Buns N Rolls menu is Pho, a comforting Vietnamese noodle soup made with aromatic bone broth, tender meat and fresh herbs. Pho's broth, made from animal bones, star anise and fish sauce, is rich in calcium, magnesium, potassium and phosphorus, while ginger helps reduce joint pain and inflammation. The dish is typically made with rice noodles and is often gluten-free.

Banh Mi and Beyond

Alongside Pho, Buns N Rolls serves Banh Mi, the Vietnamese sandwich sensation packed into a crusty baguette with grilled meats, pickled vegetables, fresh herbs and zesty sauces. The wider menu also includes buns and salads, rolls served with vermicelli, and classic Vietnamese plates, giving customers a range of ways to experience Vietnamese street food.
