Fresh Chilli Deli

I have been here many times to grab some of their delicious BBQ pork rolls. There is usually a wait as they get very busy at times, however it is worth waiting. If you haven't stopped by and checked this place out, I highly recommend you do. Try the BBQ pork rolls, you won't be disappointed. 5/5 stars 🌟

I don't think I can find better Vietnamese mixed harm baguette anywhere else than this place in St Albans. They got the perfect balance between meats and veggies and bread, and it makes it sooo good. Other places use to make mistake by either too much meat or too little meat, that decreases the final taste of the product quality. The only negative point is the queue/wait sometimes is too long, depending on time of day. Highly recommended to try out when you visit St Albans market.

Best Banh Mi place in the West. Been to many banh mi places all over Melbourne and this local gem will always stay close to my heart. Hardworking and fast-moving staff at Fresh Chilli Deli (Banh Mi Thanh Lan) wake up at 6am to make your favourites fresh out their huge oven. They sell amazing baguettes, tiger breads and pastries, but most importantly their banh mi. Great to enjoy on a stroll, picnic, after gym or lunch break. For a variety of banh mi for $6, that’s a win for anyone. Out of their banh mi options, my favourite are the mixed ham, crispy pork belly (thit heo quay), and BBQ pork meatballs (nem nuong). The star of the banh mi has got to be their crispy fresh baguettes. Love how the pillowy carbs soak the sauce they drizzle on. Also their liver pate and creamy sauce is what makes their banh mi so good. Food: 4 Value: 4.5 Ambience: 3.5 Service: 4

If you're after a banh mi in the west, this is the place to go (or their sister store in Sunshine). The bread is always crispy, their meat packed full of flavour and the veggies are always fresh. I also love their ordering system of having a dedicated register and then a dedicated window for making the banh mi. It makes things go so much quicker, which is very important considering how busy they are. I'd recommend their Pate Chaud as well, great little pork pastry that goes excellently with your banh mi. Caveat for all of those not use to this style of service, sometimes the staff may be rude out of cultural differences or genuinely so, it's a bit a part of the parcel to be honest. Take it or leave it, the food is still great.

Super quick service. (As i was giving order to cashier, roll was being made.) BBQ Pork banh mí was fresh and well filled with traditional amounts of coriander and spring onion, i did ask for very spicy - think lost in translation or quickness - only got mild at best. Nice little cream filled cone. Be sure to pay attention when order being made as very busy traffic, worth the try. As smack bam in middle of lil Vietnam with all the restaurants on alfrieda st.
