High Quality
Lobster Banh Mi is more than just a sandwich shop - it's a culinary crossroads where every dish is a celebration of tradition and innovation. We invite you to join us on this delicious journey, where each bite tells a story of history, culture, and the magic that happens when worlds collide.
At the heart of our menu lies the banh mi - a humble sandwich that we've transformed into an epicurean masterpiece. Imagine biting into our artisan baguette, where each crunch of the golden crust gives way to a soft, pillowy interior. Within this perfect bread lies a tapestry of flavors, from the smoky char of grilled pork to the deep, hearty embrace of our beef brisket. For those craving the exotic, our curry chicken banh mi is a revelation, with spices that dance on the tongue and a warmth that soothes the soul.
Creativity
Our menu is a testament to diversity and flavor. But the "pièce de résistance" is our selection of luxurious seafood offerings. Indulge in the ocean's bounty with our jumbo shrimp, Atlantic salmon, genuine blue crab claw and lump, and, the jewel in our crown, the North American lobster. Each sandwich is meticulously crafted, combining the best of French charcuterie techniques with the bold, fresh flavors of Vietnam.
Our culinary adventure doesn't end there. Lobster Banh Mi is also your gateway to an array of Asian fusion delights. Beyond the realm of sandwiches, Lobster Banh Mi's culinary journey continues with a variety of Asian fusion dishes. The noodle soups, including the beloved pho, are a warm embrace in a bowl, rich with the depth of traditional spices and the freshness of herbs. The fresh rice-wrapped tofu or shrimp garden rolls are a testament to the art of balance, each roll a delicate parcel of nuanced flavour and textures. And for those seeking a vegetarian delight, the purple yam egg rolls offer a unique twist on a classic, their vibrant hues matched only by their delectable taste. Explore our distinctive selection of beverages, each with its own special touch. Savor the GM Boba, a chilled fusion of ginger and fresh mint tea, expertly blended by Taiwanese artisan tea makers and infused with green tea boba pearls. Delight in the Iced Floral Rose Milk Tea, a Russian creation with an aromatic bouquet, available with or without boba. Experience the robust Vietnamese Dak Lak coffee, served in the classic French style, perfect as a warming hot drink or a refreshing cold treat. Beyond our selection of delightful drinks, we also offer a sophisticated and tantalizing range of smoothie bubble teas, featuring flavors like rich avocado, sweet mango, creamy mocha, vibrant passion fruit, and earthy taro.
Indulge in our exceptional dessert offerings, where tradition meets innovation. Relish the Vietnamese yogurt, a healthful and exquisite French-style almond milk yogurt. Enjoy the luxurious Creamy Bread Pudding Cake, a French culinary masterpiece boasting a high custard-to-bread ratio, laced with raisins and a touch of cinnamon. Or surrender to the exotic charm of our Coconut Flan, a Franco-Vietnamese delight that combines creamy coconut custard with a splash of rum, all cradled in a deep amber caramel sauce.
At Lobster Banh Mi, every dish is an invitation to explore a world where tradition meets innovation, and every bite is a journey through the vibrant streets of Vietnam and the elegant cafes of France. Join us and discover why our unique fusion fare is the talk of the town.
