About this business
Banh Mi Ngon Express specialises in Vietnamese banh mi — a fusion sandwich born from French colonial baguettes and Vietnamese ingredients: a crispy split baguette filled with cold cuts (pâté, ham, headcheese), grilled pork or chicken, marinated tofu, pickled daikon and carrot, cucumber, cilantro and chilli. The Markham location at FMP Unit 30A serves a quick-service menu of classic and contemporary banh mi options, alongside Vietnamese coffee and small sides.
It is a popular grab-and-go choice for lunch at First Markham Place, with most sandwiches priced for casual everyday spending.
Frequently asked questions
What is banh mi exactly?
Banh mi (Bánh mì) is a Vietnamese sandwich made on a crispy, airy baguette — a legacy of French colonial influence — filled with savoury proteins (pâté, cold cuts, grilled pork, chicken, tofu), pickled daikon and carrot, cucumber, fresh cilantro and chilli. The contrast of crisp bread, rich filling and tangy pickle is the hallmark.
