About LOKHA

Alexandria’s sandwich devotees line up along Botany Road for crisp baguettes packed with slow-cooked pork, crackling, and halal-friendly grilled chicken. Reportedly shifting around 400 bánh mì a day, the kitchen works with genuine speed and warmth—handing out tastes of crisp karaage while assembling lunch rolls without delay. The lineup stretches well past traditional cold cuts into prawn tacos, smash burgers, and bowls of rich beef phở broth. Pair a roll with an icy Viet coffee or finish on a mint-laced matcha brownie.

  • Standout Bánh Mì: Crusty baguettes loaded with slow-cooked pork, separated crackling, and halal-friendly chicken.
  • Inventive Fusion Menu: Japanese karaage chicken, three distinct tofu preparations, smash burgers, and fragrant phở.
  • Fast & Hospitable Service: Swift turnaround, thoughtful allergy care, and staff who welcome guests like family.
  • Specialty Drinks & Sweets: Sweet Vietnamese iced coffee and unique mint-infused matcha brownies.

  • Separated Pork Crackling Presentation

    Slow-cooked pork banh mi served with a distinct separation of meat and crackle to preserve crunch and texture.

    Amazing banh mi - delicious, satisfying and the presentation is nice. An interesting touch is separating meat and crackle.

  • Creative Fusion & Tofu Variety

    Beyond traditional rolls, the kitchen crafts Japanese karaage chicken, prawns, and three dedicated tofu banh mi preparations.

    Unlike other banh mi places, some that have only salad for vegetarians, and others with tofu but it’s relatively plain, Lokha has 3 tofu options!

  • Accommodating Halal & Dietary Needs

    Thoughtful hospitality catering to halal diners by excluding paté, managing severe allergies, and offering vegetarian adaptations.

    The chicken and beef are halal and the staff know not to put the pate (which isn’t halal).

  • Versatile Cross-Category Dining

    An expansive offering reaching past bakery staples to include hot soups, tacos, smash burgers, and catered canapé events.

    The menu goes well beyond sandwiches, with options ranging from soups and stews to tacos and smash burgers.

Signature rolls and comforting bowls crafted with bold fusion flavors

  • Karaage Chicken Banh Mi

    Got their signature Japanese karaage banh mi for $15 and a Viet iced coffee. For $15, its more expensive than other places but worth every cent as it was stuffed with so much.

  • Beef Pho

    I ordered the 𝗦𝗣𝗘𝗖𝗜𝗔𝗟 𝗕𝗘𝗘𝗙 𝗣𝗛𝗢, and it was nothing short of incredible. The broth was rich and flavorful, the beef was tender, and the noodles were cooked just right.

  • Slow-Cooked Pork Banh Mi

    We ordered the slow-cooked pork with crackling, and it delivered. Rich, crispy, and full of flavour. Easy recommendation for anyone who enjoys a classic roast pork bánh mì.

  • Salt and Pepper Tofu Banh Mi

    I tried the salt and pepper tofu with chipotle mayo and no pate and it was incredibly flavoursome. Generous amount of toppings too

    Also tried the matcha brownie and surprisingly good! You can really taste a hint of mint, which makes it so unique and not too sweet.

Practical advice on timing your visit, exploring fusion specialties, and navigating dietary choices.

  • Beat the Midday Lunch Rush

    LOKHA draws heavy lunch crowds and can get packed during peak midday hours. To avoid waiting or grab a quiet table, stop by early in the morning around 8:30am or plan for a brief wait during prime lunchtime.

  • Navigate Dietary and Halal Choices

    For halal dining, note that chicken and beef proteins are halal, and staff intentionally omit the non-halal pâté upon request. Vegetarians also have distinct options, including three dedicated tofu preparations like salt and pepper tofu.

  • Explore Fusion and Signature Fillings

    Beyond standard rolls, the kitchen prepares unique fusion combinations such as Japanese karaage chicken and prawn tacos, and distinctively serves roast pork by separating meat from crackling.
