Bahn mi is a type of delicious Vietnamese sandwich. The bread is typically a baguette or long sub roll, and it is stuffed with a mixture of spicy meats and pickled vegetables. Thankfully, you don't have to travel to Vietnam to try bahn mi. There are a few great restaurants near our apartments in Pembroke.

Saigon Bistro

Saigon Bistro is a Vietnamese cafe that serves up some tasty bahn mi. Although the restaurant is small, they have a few tables where you can enjoy your meal, but many customers do take their meals to-go. The bahn mi at Saigon Bistro is made on nice, crusty bread. You can choose between beef, pork, and tofu as your sandwich filling, and the accompanying pickled veggies are always bursting with flavor. Make sure you pair your sandwich with a cold Thai tea or durian smoothie!
