Starting being the operative word! I look forward to a whole load more :-) Let me know what you think of the other Vietnamese (or any other) places that I've reviewed. Hi all,
I’m just glad that Banh Mi is starting to become available. Starting being the operative word! I look forward to a whole load more :-)

Let me know what you think of the other Vietnamese (or any other) places that I’ve reviewed.

The Banh mi thit was pretty close to how they make it in Sydney (that's a huge thumbs up!) The grilled chicken roll very tasty an tender (I recommend try it without the bbq sauce). I also tried the com bi (rice with shredded pork with shallots) and that was tasty too. The lady Lien is soo nice and friendly we came back and got take away for dinner! We had the bun thit nuong and it was very yummy! We use to go to Paris to fix our banh mi thit cravings but now I'll be going to Baguette and More - spread the word ... there is decent banh mit thit in Greenwich - Baguette and More!

I was over in Greenwich last weekend on a bike trip with the family. I, stuffed my face with x2 grilled pork baguettes (banh mi thit nuong) and they, with their pie and mash from Goddard's. We shared a rhubarb crumble :-) The baguettes here are absolutely delicious and the two smiley, lovely ladies that run the stall are chatty as hell IF you understand Vietnamese! As for Banh Mi 11: the experience I had was positive but I know they had some teething problems with their baguettes a couple of months ago and things have improved since then. Their website suggests that they are still a work in progress (or rather in constant flux of improvement). I'd give them another go if I were you :-) Let me know how you get on at Mama Pho - the pho is good, as is the grilled chicken and my favourite is the chicken curry. London's Kingsland Road and Deptford High Street are the closest you'll get to a "Vietnamese town" and even then it's more "dirty street corner" than town. Mind you, compared to the communities in Brick Lane and Edgware Road, I don't think London has a proper Chinatown either. But I digress. Tip for you: If you like Hanoi style bun thit nuong (grilled pork on vermicelli) then then head on over to Banh Cuom on Lee High Road, SE13. I couldn't make it better myself :-) Happy eating!

It was the best vietnamese pork roll i had thus far in London. Banh mi 11 was such a disappointment for me that when baguette & more served up that familiar taste and smell of a true banh mi I was so satisfied that I had two!!! One pork roll and one chicken roll.....YUMMO! Seems like we are from the same part of world where our tastebuds know a thing or two when it comes to decent authentic vietnamese food. Will definately give mama pho a go next week and will comment accordingly. By the way, is there a mini vietnamese town in London? Porky Itchy,
