Tucked into Morningside's industrial backstreets, this family-run counter turns out crackling roast pork banh mi alongside classic takeaway lunch bar staples. Workers line up for crusty rolls packed with tender meat, pickled salad, fresh coriander, and crisp fried shallots. The kitchen also handles early morning trade starting at 5:30 AM with deluxe brekky rolls and hot coffee before switching to burgers with the lot, hand-rolled spring rolls, and noodle bowls. For an extra kick, regulars ask for sliced fresh chilli layered straight into the pork crackle.
