Great flavour and variety in a crunchy baguette.
A great mix of spicy and mild, but also meaty and veggie.
Got the Chicken Patties which were spicy and sticky, with the dusted fries, the garlic married well with it.
Brother got the SML he said was really flavourful and glad he got the siracha with it.
Meal deals came out ar about £12 for baguette, chips and drink. Staff were kind and helpful.
The Big Banh @ 280 Chillingham Rd, Newcastle upon Tyne NE6 5LQ
My first ever Vietnamese Banh was in Vietnam itself - Ho Chi Minh City. That was nearly 5 years ago, and I've always sought after great Banhs after that.
The Big Banh in Chilly Road does a great job when it comes to Banhs.
It's a fusion of Vietnamese spices with herbs that also suit the local tongue. Naturally, I would prefer more heat in the cuisine served. It was still delicious nevertheless.
The Ve - Crispy Pan-Seared smoked tofu slices marinated in soy, chilli & lemongrass
Sloppy Joe Rice Bowl - Beef Ragu with lemongrass & Chilli
If you're looking for a fusion style Banh Mi, here's your go to place.
If I could give them 10 stars I would. Amazing friendly chatty and enthusiastic people. I had the marinated tofu and chilli sandwich. I've been a vegetarian over 30 years and this is THE BEST VEGGIE SANDWICH EVER!!! I swear even if you aren't a vegetarian you will love it. Absolutely heavenly. Gloriously spicy, good crunchy veg, tofu had the most amazing flavour. Fantastic texture and an perfect combo of sweet, spicy, creamy plus a good chew. Tried it at Gosforth Beer Festival. Honestly a revelation. I had to go back to praise the sandwich geniuses. I would happily eat their sandwiches ever day for the rest of my life. Everyone needs sandwiches of this quality in their lifes. Go now!! You will never regret it.
Staff were very professional and nothing any trouble.
Ordered the breakfast egg banh and added sausage… it was honestly amazing. Probably the best breakfast sandwich in Newcastle!
I initially thought £10 was a bit steep for a bahn mi (they're usually ~£4 in my native australia) but it was an impeccable sandwich and well worth the price. Very generous portion size, the pork was tender, the bread was soft but crispy and the sandwich had all the traditional fillings. The vietnamese coffee was legit too, condensed milk and all.
Wonderful tasty food, love the atmosphere and the staff are super friendly! Great place for breakfast or lunch and the coffee is great too 👌 I had the SML today and it was delicious, packed with flavour.
Wonderful food prepared fresh in an open style kitchen which is very rare for such a small business. Amazing tasting food that we can’t wait to try more of. Service is outstanding friendly and inviting! Will definitely be coming here again!!
Amazing food and fantastic service!
We had the Abello 13 sandwich and it was incredible!
Staff were lovely and up for a chat, you can really tell they take care and have a lot of passion for the food they make!
100% a must try if you are passing by for lunch!
Great sized portions, we had the lunchtime deal which includes a side and a drink and we were stuffed!
Thanks for a great experience!
Nice sandwich. The bread was soft but crisp. The soy and star pork was moreish.
I love the people that work there and I love the food and you get it really quickly there is a large variety including vegan options my personal favorites are the soy and star pork bahn mi and the hash landing box
