Bánh Mì Tâm béo - Bread Tam Beo - Bakery in Hanoi

A bit overrated. The banh mi we got had very little meat, and the meat was tough and inedible. It was so bad that we decided to eat at the bun cha place across the street.

I've been on a mission to try as many different banh mi as possible during my time in Vietnam. I grabbed the grilled pork banh mi from here for dinner and, as many people have said before, the sauce is delicious and makes this banh mi unique. Reminds me of ranch sauce and it goes so well with the toasted bread, chili and meat. Would definitely recommend trying

Good but not the best, the pickled veggies lacked flavor to complement the pork. Service was good 👍. Ambience is okay, typical Vietnamese setting. No dine-in space available when we arrived, so we opted for takeaway.

Best banh mi that we've had in Hanoi! The combination of flavours from their sauces infused with the pickled vegetables, choice of meat (I went with pork bologna and my wife got their cha siu), and their warmly pressed bread makes it mouth watering. We've been here twice so far, dinner yesterday evening and for breakfast this AM. The shop owner is so friendly and kind, she mentioned her mom also helps her run it from 7am-11pm daily. They clearly work hard. One banh mi can range from 30-50k and personally if I was hungry I would be able to eat 2 but 1 puts me in a comfortable spot to continue exploring Hanoi while leaving space to try other local foods! Although the shop wasn't ready at 7am sharp this morning, it was worth waiting for the owner/staff to get ready because they were also waiting on fresh ingredients to be delivered. Sometimes it's ok to have variations from Google since we rely so much on it. I honestly appreciated that they use fresh bread every day and vegetables from local produce. Came back in 10-15min after a morning coffee and they were ready to take our orders! I'm going to really miss this banh mi when I'm back in Canada! For now, I'll enjoy it as much as I reasonably can 😋

We had our first bánh mì at Bánh Mì Tâm Béo — recommended by Mike and Ashley, whose Vietnam video series I'd been watching in the lead-up to the trip. We threw caution to the wind and had the raw vegetables. I got chicken and my partner got pork. The bread was extraordinary — better than I'd imagined, crackling and light — and we inhaled them. Out of this world delicious! The only problem was that every bánh mì we had in other cities thereafter never lived up to this one.
