About Banh Mi Bay Cafe

Brookvale regulars know to beat the noon rush here for crusty banh mi loaded with roast pork and serious crackling. Orders move fast across the counter—baguettes layered with rich pâté, pickled vegetables, and fresh herbs, alongside chilled noodle bowls of grilled pork. For an easy midday upgrade, pair your roll with a couple of hot steamed dim sims doused in chilli sauce and a cold drink.

  • Crispy Pork Banh Mi: Baguettes stuffed with roast pork, savoury pâté, fresh coriander, and a dedicated layer of crunchy crackling.
  • Dim Sim Add-On: Order hot steamed dim sims with chilli sauce and a cold drink alongside your midday roll.
  • Swift Lunch Takeaway: Fast counter service geared for quick midday takeaways and worksite bulk orders before peak lunch hours.

The Banh Mi Bay Cafe Advantage

Why Brookvale locals and workers choose Banh Mi Bay Cafe for lunch

  • Dim Sim and Drink Combo Add-On

    Pairing a hearty banh mi with hot steamed dim sims and a drink offers a satisfying lunch combo deal.

    added my coke and 2 Dim sims for only $5. Where else can you get a fresh, authentic Vietnamese lunch for less than $15 around here!

  • Freshly Steamed Dim Sum Sides

    Biting into warm, savoury dim sims and well-seasoned pork creates an addictive lunchtime treat.

    I recommend getting a steamed dimsum or two to nibble on while you wait.

  • Multi-Roll Runs for the Worksite

    An efficient ordering system makes it easy to send a teammate early to grab multiple rolls for the entire crew.

    The service is very friendly and efficient considering how busy this place is through the lunch hours, send your apprentice to grab a bag full by 11am.

Before you head over

Practical tips on timing your visit, ordering combos, and getting the crispiest banh mi.

  • Beat the Peak Workday Rush

    Beat the midday work rush by placing group takeaway orders before 11:00 AM, especially when gathering bulk rolls for worksite crews.

  • Upgrade with the Dim Sim Combo

    Take advantage of the $5 add-on deal that bundles hot steamed dim sims and a cold drink with your banh mi for an easy lunch upgrade.

  • Customize Sauce and Crackling Layers

    If you prefer extra texture and bite, ask for generous pork crackling baseline layers or request sauce on the side so baguettes stay crisp.
