Tasted very fresh. First time I had a ban mi. Can't believe anyone would go to a Subway when they can get a much better tasting baguette from here.

Best banh mi in Manchester! My favourite is the grilled chicken. Lots of coriander and vegetables included, and the pate is delicious. The pho is also good here and there are lots of decent vegan options! Nice fresh Vietnamese coffee. Excellent spot for lunch if you are in the centre. Only downside is there is no toilet.

I ordered a pho today and the soup was so rich in flavour, it taste very good, the texture of the noodles was just perfect and there is a lot of slices of meat in it. The portion is just right. You can even ask for spicy sauces which comes separately. Would definitely go there again and very recommended

Such a cute little place serving authentic Vietnamese food. Walking in you can immediately smell the fragrant pho broth, it was comforting. I got takeout and ate the food ~1hr after collecting but the quality wasn’t affected. The bun thit nuong was so delicious and flavourful, the summer rolls were perfect with the peanut sauce, and the banh mi was so good with the delicious pate. Everything tasted like it would’ve in Vietnam; my new favourite spot in Manchester!!- Service

My first introduction to Vietnamese food and I was not disappointed. The Pho was a superb broth and very tasty with slow cooked brisket. Friendly and helpful service in an authentic setting. If it's your first time, don't be shy, just get stuck in, ask what the food is and try something new. Revisited 22 Apr 2025 - just as good as I remember.

Impromptu stopped here as it was closest. Very nice and fresh. Went for Char Sui pork & egg vermicelli salad as wanted a dry dish on this warm day. So good. Ate it before I could take a picture! This place is now saved in my maps and I’ll definitely eat here again when I’m in the area

One of my favourite spots in all Manchester for lunch. Have tried a few items on the menu now and each one better than the last but if its your 1st time the banh mi are the #1 recommendation. No pics of the food this time as it was gone before I could get a chance. 6 stars.

Known about Bánh Mì Cô ba for a while but never been able to get there for one reason or another, now I have I'm so glad I did. Price wise it's good, the place itself is very pleasant, but the food is genuinely excellent. Started with the Phó Tai which was really good evoking memories of Phó I've had in Vietnam (would have liked more chillies but i love the heat), it was a massive bowl so keep that in mind. I actually got the Char siu Bánh Bao to go but just couldn't not eat it there and then, it was delicious, fresh, and fragrant. If you are familiar with Viet food or are interested in trying it I highly recommend this slice of Viet heaven in the middle of Manchester ♥️🇻🇳- Service

The staff were nice, and the food was fresh and tasted good. I had the Bahn Bao with grilled pork which I'd definitely have again. Reasonably priced too.

First time trying Vietnamese food and It was good! The staff were also very helpful in recommending what I should try first and even asked me if I like it to be spicy. Will try other dishes soon!

Nice and fresh Vietnamese cuisine. The ingredients we're fresh and the food was yummy. Served by the smiling shop owner. No fuss Vietnamese food. I only wish they would add the egg coffee.
Amazing good, good price, good portion size

Love this little place. It’s one of those places that aren’t super fancy and pretentious, they just make wholesome food taste nice. I always have the vegan tofu banh mi and it’s so tasty. The last time we went we had the spicy vegan broth and I was Impressed by how tasty and well seasoned it was. It was also HUGE! The summer rolls are also super yum. This place is perfect for my dinner breaks. Will return often!!
Ordered Bun Bo Hue & Ca Phe Sua Da (Vietnamese iced coffee with condensed milk). Everything is lovely. The owner is friendly and helpful. Will definitely come back x
