Banh Mi Town Fitzrovia is a Vietnamese café and takeaway at 29 Hanson Street, with a relaxed dining area downstairs for customers who want to eat in. The kitchen focuses on freshly prepared street food and comforting noodle dishes, making it a practical choice for a quick lunch as well as a more leisurely meal. Collection and delivery extend the menu to homes and workplaces around Fitzrovia.
The namesake banh mi begins with a crisp baguette baked fresh each morning. Fillings such as grilled beef, satay chicken, grilled pork or tofu are layered with cucumber, pickled carrot and mooli, coriander, spring onion, chilli, mayonnaise and light soy sauce. The special combines several savoury elements in one sandwich, while vegetarian fillings retain the same contrast between warm bread, fresh herbs and sharp pickles.
Pho offers a warmer and more substantial route through the menu, with rare beef, brisket, chicken and vegetarian variations built around aromatic broth and rice noodles. Bun bo Hue adds lemongrass, chilli and deeper savoury notes for diners who prefer a spicier soup. Vermicelli bowls pair noodles with grilled meats, tofu or spring rolls, finished with fresh vegetables, herbs and a light dressing.
Rice plates, summer rolls and crisp Vietnamese spring rolls make it easy to build a varied order. Banh xeo brings a delicate crispy pancake filled with combinations such as pork and prawn, while salads provide a lighter balance to fried dishes and grilled meat. Vietnamese iced coffee, soft drinks and fresh accompaniments complete a menu that is broad enough for regular lunches without losing its clear street food identity.
