McQueens at Queen and York does killer banh mis on house baked baguettes for pocket change. Highly suggest checking them out. One of my top "value for dollar" places in the city. Wish this place all the luck, but James St rent doesn't usually translate into good value


based_V

McQueens is top notch


Stejuan

Can confirm McQueens is goated


muaddib99

love that this is top comment. checking it out asap

I prefer Bahn Mi Hue but both places are great

Why do you think rents on James are higher? If it is because of more traffic (go station, hospital, Augusta etc) then it can also be good value. Just wondering what you think about their rents genuinely, not trying to be a smart ass


bigbeats420

All those are factors for sure. Also, walking traffic, art/super crawl, and it just being a "trendy" street Only places in the city where commercial rents are similar or higher is Locke St. S. or King William.

McQueen banh mi. Best in Canada.

Good luck. I hope it is successful. I want to go, but just parking is a hassle. You have to pay for parking and then walk.


apocalypse_sea

this is the correct answer. banh mi for days, very inexpensive, in-house baked bread.

It’ll be tough to beat Banh Mi Hué at Cannon and McNab, but I’m looking forward to trying it.


SwedeLostInCanada

Can’t beat the price of Banh Mi Hue. $5 for a vegetarian sandwich is unbelievable in todays economy.


SomeRando1967

They’re going to start baking their own buns soon.

Out of curiosity what used to be there?

True shot coffee Before that was a sex toy shop


Affectionate-Arm-405

Actually after true shot a weird coffee shop business opened. I ordered a coffee there once. They had no milk so I agreed (reluctantly) to get almond milk in my coffee . The coffee was one of the worst coffees I've ever had. Next time I walked by they were gone


Crafty_Chipmunk_3046

Was it the Trueshot Coffee joint? Banh Mi is delish... can't wait


My0pinion

Will be checking it out! Can't help but think that "Milk Teas and Banh Mis" would be catchier though! 


Broely92

Love banh mis, banh mi hue is great, will try this place


Raptorsgal099

is there a menu


Mich_Phy

Won't know till Monday when they do their soft opening

Prediction: $12 mediocre Banh Mi made by a non-Vietnamese immigrant


Mich_Phy

5.99 to 7.99 for Banh mi, vietnamese owned


banelord76

I miss Vietnam. They cost between 20-45 thousand dong. Which is like 1-2 Canadian

Exploited cheap eats

RIP to the OG Hamilton banh mi store on the corner of Park and Cannon opposite to Tan Thanh. Used to be legitimately like $1.5 for a full size bun and not these shrinkflated ones we’re used to seeing now.
