Better to Know about Banh Mi in Hoi An
Banh mi is a celebrated Vietnamese sandwich featuring a crisp, airy baguette traditionally filled with a savory mix of meats, pâté, and creamy mayonnaise. This culinary staple is balanced by refreshing pickled vegetables, fresh cilantro, and spicy chilies, representing a perfect harmony of French influence and bold Vietnamese flavors.
Hội An’s banh mi is legendary for its distinct baguette, which features tapered, pointy ends and a crust far crispier and thinner than the softer loaves found in Saigon or Hanoi. This unique bread provides a shatteringly light crunch that perfectly encases the rich, house-made pâté and signature savory sauces. The flavor is further elevated by exceptionally fragrant herbs sourced from the nearby Tra Que village, offering a peppery freshness that cuts through the fatty meats. Combined with a spicy chili jam unique to the region, it delivers a more complex, artisanal balance than typical street versions.

What to Order at Madam Khanh (Banh Mi Queen)?
We recommend trying Banh mi thap cam (mixed), the most famous option at Banh Mi Phuong Hoi An. This is a crispy baguette filled with house-made pâté, grilled pork, Vietnamese ham, and head cheese, all elevated by their secret savory sauce, buttery mayonnaise, and a refreshing mix of pickled papaya, cucumbers, and cilantro.
If don’t eat much, visitors can try the traditional Banh mi: banh mi thit nuong (with grilled pork).
For vegeterian travelers, of course, the vegetarian banh mi is the best choice. At Banh Mi Phuong, it’s filled by tofu slices, avocado slices, peanut butter, fresh herbs/veggies, and soy souce. If don’t like something, just request direcly to the water/waitress to remove or add into your own sandwich.
All banh mi sanchwiches at Banh Mi Phuong is not spicy. When like eating spicy, visitors can use chili sauce or special Hoi An chili sauce, a distinctive local specialty known for its rich, jam-like consistency and a complex smoky-sweet flavor profile achieved by slow-simmering chilies with oil, garlic, and sugar.
Furthermore, fresh herbs at Banh Mi Phuong are grown and picked at Tra Que Vegetable Village (so they’re known as ‘Tra Que herbs’). The exceptional reputation of the herbs stems from a traditional organic cultivation process that utilizes nutrient-dense seaweed from the nearby lagoon as a natural fertilizer. This specialized agricultural heritage results in greens that possess a uniquely potent aroma and concentrated flavor profile that cannot be replicated in other regions. To know better about Tra Que traditional farming tradition, visitors can join a countryside bike tour or cooking class.

Banh Mi Queen (Madam Khanh) vs Banh Mi Phuong
In the world of Hoi An street food, the rivalry between Madam Khanh (The Banh Mi Queen) and Banh Mi Phuong is legendary. While both serve incredible sandwiches, they offer distinct culinary experiences.
We recommend visitors trying banh mi at both shops if possible.
Madam Khanh
The flavor profile: Generally considered more balanced and refined. The flavors are subtly sweet and savory, with a heavy emphasis on a very smooth, high-quality pâté.
The sauce: Madam Khanh uses a signature fried egg sauce (mayonnaise style) that adds a creamy, buttery finish to the sandwich.
The experience: Usually feels more personal and “old-school.” The late Madam Khanh’s family still maintains a meticulous, assembly-line approach that feels slightly more artisanal and less chaotic than Phuong’s.
Banh Mi Phuong
The flavor profile: Known for a robust and savory taste. They use a wide variety of fillings—up to 20 options—including grilled pork, ham, and even fried eggs.
The sauce: Their “secret weapon” is a rich, savory gravy and a punchy chili sauce that soaks into the bread.
The experience: It is often crowded and fast-paced. It’s the “commercial king,” offering a high-energy atmosphere and a massive menu.
