Google lists: dine-in · delivery · takeaway · lunch · dinner. > my favourite banh mi in all the land (i’ll have one even though i’m allergic to wheat - so worth it!) and the owners are absolutely lovely too 🩷, Patricia K, 7 months ago > Best banh Mi I’ve had in a long time. I thought to myself that it couldn’t be that good when I saw 100 5 star reviews, I was wrong… it is that good!! I went for the combo banh mi- soy chicken, beef brisket, pork belly and chicken pate. Perfect combination. Bread was so light and crispy. Pic doesn’t do it justice, David Lynch, 6 months ago > I heard this place was good, though I want filled with hope once I arrived. It was a very small store with a barebone aesthetic. But the bunmi was full, and also full of flavour. It's my favourite one I've experienced in NZ. Very good quality and this place deserves it. The atmosphere is not suited to large crowds as it's very small. Though it could be made to look even nicer - it's just not realistic to bring your family here to eat out., Nom, 5 months ago ## Doors - [What stood on this ground](https://www.chch.live/before?lat=-43.5342944&lon=172.6418111) - [On the map](https://www.chch.live/map#-43.5342944,172.6418111,17) - [Documents that name it](https://www.chch.live/documents?q=B%C3%A1nh%20M%C3%AC%20Em) - [Christchurch Central City](https://www.chch.live/christchurch-central-city), the suburb - [The OSM record](https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/12487570480), fix it there ## Questions, answered briefly **What is Bánh Mì Em?** A Vietnamese takeaway in Christchurch Central City, Christchurch. **Where is Bánh Mì Em?** 150 Lichfield Street, Christchurch Central City, on [Lichfield Street](https://www.chch.live/street/christchurch-central-city/lichfield-street).
