Lo Banh Mi Tan Khanh

What is Lo Banh Mi Tan Khanh? Located at 748 Wilson Avenue just west of Dufferin Street, this utilitarian North York bakery-counter specializes in fresh-baked Vietnamese baguettes and hyper-traditional sandwiches. The space is stripped-down and built strictly for takeout speed, featuring a straightforward glass order counter, bright lighting, and minimal standing room. It operates as a focused local operation where loaves are baked in-house daily to achieve a crackling crust that shatters on first bite.

Lo Banh Mi Tan Khanh Menu & What to Order The undisputed headliner is the Crackling Pork Roast banh mi (heo quay da giòn), packed with juicy pork belly sporting an impeccably crispy skin, rich house pâté, cilantro, and snappy pickled daikon. Traditionalists should pick up the Tan Khanh Signature Cold Cut loaded with classic cold cuts and house mayo, while the five-spice grilled ribeye and lemongrass grilled chicken thigh offer fragrant hot-protein alternatives. Pair your sub with crispy shrimp and pork spring rolls, and wash it down with a potent Viet iced coffee or their salted cream iced coffee.

Know Before You Go This is a walk-in, takeout-centric counter with no dine-in seating and no table reservations, so expect a brief queue during prime weekday and weekend lunch rushes. Street parking is available along Wilson Avenue and nearby side streets, and the counter is easily reached via the 96 Wilson bus from Wilson subway station. The shop operates Tuesday through Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. and Sunday from 8:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., remaining closed on Mondays.
