Banh & Bo Pho, Banh Mi

Banh & Bo Pho, Banh Mi is a restaurant in Newark, NJ, located at 194 Market St. It holds a rating of 4.90 based on customer reviews.

The kitchen serves Vietnamese banh mi, the sandwich built on a light French baguette with a thin, crispy crust. Fillings include grilled pork, chicken, pate, cold cuts, and tofu, garnished with fresh cilantro, cucumber slices, pickled carrots and daikon radish, and jalapeno peppers. Mayonnaise seasoned with Maggi seasoning sauce is a common condiment, and a liver-based pate spread adds a savory element that contrasts with the tangy pickled vegetables. The sandwich reflects the fusion of Vietnamese and French culinary traditions, and mushroom-based vegetarian pate is an option for a meatless version.

The Prudential Center stadium is roughly 0.1 miles away, as is the historic Central Railroad of New Jersey's Broad Street Station, with the WBGO-FM tower nearby.
