Banh Mi Bay Holborn

Best Vietnamese food I’ve had, so fresh and full of flavour

Vietnamese restaurant close to Chancery Lane tube station. The ambience was casual and comfortable, and the kitchen is an open kitchen. I ordered a Beef Pho and summer spring rolls. The food was good, but my pho noodles were slightly clumped together initially and I had to separate them. The amount of beef was generous. The prices are quite reasonable.

The restaurant is in a large space and echoey, but then many places are like that so that's not exceptional. And the restaurant staff were not responsible for the shrieking customers whose laughter was reverberating all around the room last night. It wasn't unpleasant as the rowdy table were obviously having a great time together, it was just a bit loud, given the echoey surroundings. The one thing that I think the restaurant should correct is the idea that the restaurant is near Holborn; it isn't. The nearest tube is Chancery Lane.

Lovely staff - great food - good to visit outside of 12.00 - 13.30 when it gets very busy.

Great food and good value. Lovely place for dinner with friends

Tasty food, portions small though. Good service. Nice ambiance, cosy.

Great service, great food and a very good Bánh Mì. My only criticism was they skimped a bit on the fillings, I’d more than happily pay a few more squid and get twice the amount of fillings! But overall absolutely splendid dinner 👍🏻

Beautiful food and lovely helpful staff. Will be recommending this place to everyone!

lovely food, just had a few people waiting for takeaways right behind my seat so was occasionally a bit noisy

Friendly quick service with lovely food and big portions. Definitely... recommend!

The food is always delicious and healthy. Chicken noodle Salad rules!

Less frantic than a lunchtime visit so early evening perfect - not surprisingly, this place fills up pretty quickly so bear in mind that what you order may take longer to deliver than other dishes (sea bass and curry dish took much longer to prepare than rare beef pho for example)...lovely staff and always great value for money. Glad we booked a table at 6pm so we could settle in and enjoy a chilled out atmosphere with friendly service

Good value, fresh, and generous portions. Limited veg and vegan options esp when they sell out of Tofu at the beginning of the evening.

Great food and service at a very reasonable price! Will be back!

The food was not good at all and we were disappointed

Good main dishes, summer rolls could have been better. Overall good experience.

Very nice restaurant and friendly service and a great atmosphere.

Hard to fault. Good food served promptly in nice surroundings, at a reasonable price. Will go back for more!

Have a good time today with other people how ridiculous is this requirement

Wonderful, as always. Never been disappointed with this place. Good service complemented by great food for an excellent price

Lovely dinner, will return definitely! The portions are huge, friendly atmosphere!

Food was amazing, quick service. Overall, very satisfied. Would happily come again! :D

Busy but friendly Vietnamese restaurant. The dishes came too quickly - our main dishes were brought before we finished our starters, and there was no room on our small table to put the plate and bowl down. We asked the waitress to bring them later, but the dishes were then not as hot as they should be. Not a large choice of dessert on the menu.

Yummy, no nonsense food, lovely people, great location. Speedy turnaround. Excellent for small groups and after work and tasty lunch. My go to place for comfort eating

This is a great place for lunch, and an escape from the office - cheap, but good food, and quick service as well. Takeaway as well

Really enjoyed the food and atmosphere. Service was so quick and accomodated our needs perfectly. Lovely ladies! Bit worried about the storage of the prawn prackers when we went to the toilet... box on floor by kitchen door!

Local neighbourhood restaurant with a relaxed cosy vibe. The food is really delicious and full of flavour, friendly service, great value. Recommend the pancake from the starter menu.

Friendly staff, delicious sizzling hot food, best thing was the five spice lamb which had been marinated over night. Only thing that needs improvement is the cold breeze that comes in the front door when the curtain isn’t properly pulled. Recommend sitting far from the door.

We had a delicious pho and some spring rolls. They were fried to perfection. We will definitely be making a visit back here for another spot of lunch.

Friendly, efficient service and tasty food at a reasonable . A great place to meet up with friends. Nice atmosphere, but still quiet enough to have a conversation.

Amazing as always. My colleagues and I love Bahn Mi Bay. The food is so good and tastes so fresh! Decently priced as well for lunch!

Lovely, authentic Vietnamese food and reasonable prices. Took a while to get some tap water which we had to ask for 3 times. Otherwise perfect

Large variety of food on the menu, good value and fab service. The Vietnamese pancake highly recommended and great for sharing. Loved the casual vibe. We will definitely visit again.

Lovely restaurant. Quiet, cheap, great food and lovely atmosphere, which is rare on a Friday night in London. Just what we needed... We will be back!

Nice restaurant in a good location. Service was a little slow. Likely due to new staff joining. However, food was good. Would return again. .

Excellent food, good ambience, very quick to serve us - only criticism being that it was hard to get staff attention. The menu was very varied.

Great experience, as always. Been here a few times and haven’t been disappointed

Very good food and service! - Just a few items on menu weren't available and we weren't told until the first course was already served.

Food was really tasty and great value. The restaurant is really nicely decorated and relaxed, staff were great and attentive. I often recommend Banh Mi Bay to friends.

Good food for a reasonable price, complemented with a good service and friendly staff. Good selection of dishes and drinks. Definitely recommended to anyone looking for a decent quick meal in the city.
