Hoang Viet Bakery Coffee - North York

The viet subs here are delicious. I've been going to all the various Banh Mi stores around the area, and I think this one is the best. The only downside is that they are also the most expensive.

I bought a beef soup, this is not beef at all this is some rubber non-comestible piece of I don’t know what it is ?

Very disappointed by this restaurant, I was supposed to get a beef soup, instead, I got ZERO piece of meat, only the cartilage, skin, fat part and some stuff I can’t even chew..?

What happens when your regular Banh Mi shop is closed in Wednesdays, and you have a craving for a delicious Vietnamese sandwich? You leave your comfort zone and find something new. In our case, something better.Hoang Viet Bakery is a very unassuming hole-in-the wall type place situated in a small plaza. They sell fresh-baked pastries, mouth-watering Banh mi sandwiches and various Vietnamese soups.There are a few tables inside this this tiny store though eating-in is not really an option with Covid. There is also a couple of tiny plastic chairs right outside, if you just can't wait to get home to eat your meal.I ordered some sandwiches and a variety of pastries. Each sandwich was under $5.00 and all are some variation of pork and/or chicken. If you buy 5, you get one free.The baguettes are baked fresh and the veggies and meat filling are very flavourful. The other toppings are what you would expect in a Banh mi (cilantro, carrot, cucumber, mayonnaise etc.. The pastries are out of this world and were still warm when I picked them up. They are $1.00 each or 6 for 5 bucks. I don't remember the last time I had a croissant this good! Like we are talking melt-in-your mouth good. I also grabbed a Vietnamese iced coffee which didn't disappoint. Cold, sweet and strong.They take all the pandemic precautions with plexiglass, face shields and gloves. This is of course reassuring.I am very glad to have discovered this restaurant! Will try the pho next time.

This was hands down the worst banh mi I have ever had. The deli meat was cut so thick that the bread was practically punctured. There was no flavor at all. There are many other places that are at the same price, if not cheaper, and taste much better. I will never be coming back here again.
