A tiny, strictly-lunchtime Hackney counter serving massive, 'weapon-ready' banh mi that frequently sell out before closing.
Ordering Strategy
Go early (before 1pm)—this is a lunch-only spot with strict hours that often runs out of bread.
What to order
Hội-An Special
The consensus order featuring char siu, pork belly, pâté, and a wobbly omelette inside a perfectly crisp baguette.
Bún Thịt Nướng
A substantial and hearty bowl of vermicelli noodles topped with grilled pork and crispy spring rolls for those seeking a more filling alternative to the sandwiches.
Beef Ball Curry Bánh Mì
A rarer menu item that has been called the city's 'best meatball sub' when available.
