BANH VI

Banh Vi isn’t just surviving; it’s thriving in Manchester’s food scene, serving up Vietnamese classics that have people lining up for more. Raquel described the pho as a comforting hug in a bowl, while Amelia’s crispy pork belly banh mi had her feeling right at home. The summer rolls? A light and zingy delight that made taste buds dance. The staff here are friendly and seem to know their stuff, adding to the warm atmosphere of the place.

But it’s not all sunshine – a few voices echo the chorus of disappointment on some dishes, like the pho's texture and the portion sizes. If you're after authentic Vietnamese food, Banh Vi is likely to hit the spot; just remember to manage your expectations for a couple of items. Overall, a solid place to go if you want some good eats without the fuss.
