Welcome to Banh Ngon, a delightful gem nestled at 690 Sargent Ave, Winnipeg, MB. This charming spot specializes in authentic Vietnamese street food, offering an extraordinary culinary experience without breaking the bank. As a food reviewer for Foodjoyy, I was eager to explore what makes Banh Ngon stand out.
The heart of Banh Ngon lies in its iconic Banh Mi. Customers rave about these sandwiches for their generous portions and fresh fillings. Sabrina LT describes them as "huge and fresh," a sentiment echoed by Nhi Lai, who calls Banh Ngon her "fav Banh Mi to go with." The balance of flavors and the freshness of ingredients elevate this dish to a must-try level.
But the menu doesn’t stop at Banh Mi. Patrons also adore the vermicelli bowls, generously packed with a variety of proteins and vibrant toppings. Liz Pham praises them for offering great value—only $8 for a bowl you might find priced much higher elsewhere, yet retaining exceptional quality. This speaks volumes about Banh Ngon’s commitment to affordability without compromising flavor.
For those looking for a refreshing drink, the avocado bubble tea offers a tasty respite, particularly on hot days, even if it’s on the slushy side. Frank Zand's experience perfectly illustrates Banh Ngon's warm, family-run vibe; he experienced not only delicious food but also the genuine hospitality of the owners, complete with an off-menu complimentary soup. This kind of personal touch is rare and adds a layer of warmth that enhances the dining experience.
It’s also worth mentioning the tapioca dumplings, which Yitah Wu ranks among the finest in Winnipeg. These delicate treats are a fantastic addition to any meal and round out the culinary offerings. Each bite is not only delicious but is a testament to the skilled preparation that goes into every dish at Banh Ngon.
Banh Ngon is more than just a restaurant; it's a vibrant part of the Winnipeg food scene that offers an authentic taste of Vietnamese cuisine. Whether you're in the mood for a fulfilling Banh Mi or a hearty vermicelli bowl, this small eatery promises fresh and flavorful food worth returning for. If you find yourself in Winnipeg, make Banh Ngon your first choice—your taste buds will thank you!
