Banh Mi Sai Gon Birmingham

You'll find yourself in Bath Passage—that unassuming stretch between the Bullring and Chinatown where the real food happens—and suddenly you're ordering a banh mi that tastes like it's travelled straight from Saigon. The shop does what it does brilliantly: crusty baguettes loaded with Vietnamese cold cuts, pâté, pickled veg, and coriander, made fresh while you wait. There's no faffing about here. Pho comes in proper bowls, steaming and layered with flavour, the kind that clears your sinuses and your afternoon schedule.
