Banh Mi Saigon

About Banh Mi Saigon

Banh Mi Saigon is a Vietnamese eatery in Greenmeadows, Napier, specialising in the classic Banh Mi sandwich - a French-Vietnamese hybrid built on a crisp, airy baguette with sour pickled carrot, crisp coriander, spicy chillies and a choice of protein, from sweet roast pork to curried chicken and tender beef.

Beyond the signature sandwiches, the menu has grown to cover rice bowls, wraps, burgers, noodle salads, bao buns and loaded fries, all built around the same core proteins - BBQ pork, pork belly, chicken satay, pulled pork and slow cooked beef.

Banh Mi Saigon: Vietnamese Sandwiches and More in Greenmeadows, Napier

Bringing Saigon's Streets to Greenmeadows

Banh Mi Saigon is built around one of Vietnam's most iconic street foods: the Banh Mi. Originating on the streets of Saigon, this French-Vietnamese hybrid sandwich combines a crisp, airy baguette with sour pickled carrot, crisp coriander, spicy chillies, and a choice of protein, from sweet roast pork to curried chicken and tender beef.

A Menu Built Around the Classics

At the heart of the menu are the numbered Banh Mi sandwiches, each built around a signature protein and sauce combination. The #1 BBQ Pork keeps things classic with hoisin sauce, while the #7 Banh Mi Saigon goes further, layering BBQ pork, chicken pate, garlic sausage, champagne ham and pork floss for a fuller, more indulgent take on the format. There's a vegetarian option too, built around tomatoes and avocado with hoisin and sesame dressing.

Beyond the Sandwich

While the Banh Mi remains the shop's namesake dish, the menu has expanded well beyond it. The same core proteins - BBQ pork, pork belly, chicken satay, pulled pork and slow cooked beef - appear across rice bowls, loaded chips, wraps, noodle salads and bao buns, giving regulars plenty of ways to mix things up.

For something heartier, the burger range includes a 12-hour cooked beef burger, a pulled pork burger, a BBQ beef burger with onion rings, and a chicken cranberry burger, all served in a brioche bun. Loaded fries piled with pulled pork, beef or BBQ beef and topped with cheese and aioli round out the more indulgent end of the menu.

Weekend Specials

Banh Mi Saigon also runs a rotating set of weekend specials: a Wacky Wednesday Special, a Friday Feast Night Special, and a Saturday Treat Special featuring a 200g ribeye steak with mushroom or pepper sauce and chips.
