Their Bahn mi are probably the tastiest thing I’ve ever eaten, and very reasonably priced. They also have a wide selection of every takeaway food you could want. To top it off the staff are very friendly. Highly recommended!
Inexpensive and affordable takeaway. Fresh tasty ingredients. Impeccable service; the young chap on the fronter counter had a high standard of service and attentiveness while farewelling me with my food. Will definitely be back!
My wife (Vietnamese) made me sleep on the sofa because I couldn’t stop wow-ing at how delicious the banh mi was after every bite. (Just kidding, she loved it too.) The fish and chips were also great.
This is not a review, but a love letter. I've tried a few of their offerings throughout the years. Their burgers are generously filled and so are their sandwiches. Local Kedron students, all veterans of the Clayfield/Wooloowin/Eagle Junction takeaway shops, claim their chips reign supreme. The star of this shop, however, is their banh mi. I cannot emphasize enough how wonderful it is to have access to such flavoursome, well-priced and fresh banh mi without crossing the river to Southside! I've only tried two so far: The grilled pork particularly showcases the super intricate layering of sweet and salty flavours against the crunch of the baguette and the slightly fattiness of the meat. Hard to describe, but it was simultaneously melt in your mouth while still retaining a slight bite, a soft chewyness. This is the one to get. Seriously close to heaven on earth. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The beef was slightly hard to chew and required a lot of jaw work and pulling apart. It was quite hard to get a balanced bite, as the texture of the meat against the other fillings weren't really as complementary. Pass, go for the pork. EJ takeaway is near perfect if not for the inconsistency of the banh mi fillings (sorry to those who dont eat pork). I do wish they were more generous with their pate as I am used to Sydney banh mi joints (like Marrickville, an institution in itself) and have found that they use way more pate interstate. Thank you so much for being a beacon of carby hope in this side of Brisbane. If any banh mi joint deserve a cult following, this is it. Pictured: Grilled pork filling.
