Overview

Banh Mi Ngon Express is a refreshing addition to Markham’s vibrant Vietnamese dining scene. Nestled at 3255 Hwy 7, this compact yet inviting eatery offers an authentic taste of Vietnam that captures both the heart and palate of its visitors. The store’s accessible location just off the main thoroughfare makes it a convenient stop for locals and travelers seeking quick, flavorful meals without sacrificing quality.

The star of the menu, as the name suggests, is undoubtedly their banh mi. The sandwiches here are skillfully crafted, boasting fresh, crisp vegetables and generous portions of meat. Whether you choose the house special or opt for grilled chicken or pork, each bite reflects meticulous attention to balance — the interplay of savory, tangy, and aromatic flavors is truly satisfying. Customers appreciate the option to have their bread toasted, which adds a delightful crunch, though it can harden the baguette slightly.

Beyond banh mi, Banh Mi Ngon Express shines with its selection of vermicelli bowls and spring rolls. The grilled meat vermicelli dishes stand out for their fresh herbs, vibrant textures, and smoky grilled proteins. The spring rolls depart from the usual in texture and taste, offering a distinct experience that sets them apart from what one might find in other Vietnamese spots.

The beverage menu adds an interesting dimension with fresh fruit milkshakes like mango and avocado, along with traditional Vietnamese drinks including a sweet barley and egg white concoction that patrons have raved about. These complement the food beautifully, rounding out the meal with refreshing yet comforting flavors.

The atmosphere reflects the warmth and hospitality of the owners, who engage genuinely with guests and create a friendly, welcoming environment. While the space is modest and not part of a bustling food court, it offers a focused and personal dining experience. The casual vibe suits individuals, small groups, and anyone craving fresh, no-fuss Vietnamese fare.

Though the spot can get busy during peak times, the attentive staff and efficient service keep the experience smooth. It’s a place for those who appreciate classic Vietnamese flavors delivered with care and authenticity. Banh Mi Ngon Express is an excellent choice for anyone in Markham aiming to indulge in well-executed Vietnamese street food that’s just a short drive or transit ride away.

Stumbled upon this Vietnamese take out place at first markham place recently. It seemed very authentic so wanted to give it a try. We got the pork vermicilli and the beef vermicilli. Portions are very generous and food is delicious! I am not sure what the drink is called but it’s a sweet drink with barley and egg white. It’s very delicious and it was sold for $3. There are an assortment of drinks and sweets sold for $3 at the front counter. They told me they just opened the store about 2-3 months ago. Definitely worth giving it a try. The spring rolls have a very nice texture and it’s different from the standard ones we usually get at Vietnamese restaurants. They only take cash or debit. It’s located at one of the end entrances of FMP. It is not located in the food court. Something to keep in mind when looking for it. Yummy and will be back!

I got the banh mi special and tried the iced coffee as well! Both were amazing and just what I would expect from a banh mi shop. They filled up the banh mi very well. The owners are also very sweet and kind and I felt very welcomed

Decided to try this place as I was craving banh mi. It's a small little shop and they have many options. It does get busy so the wait time can be long. Their viet coffee was more bitter than sweet which I prefer. The banh mi was good but I have had really good ones in Montreal so in comparison it fell short. Not a bad option though if you are in the area.

I like the green cake as well, totally my cup of tea, not too sweet with chewy texture, love it!!!

Great little spot for banh mi in first Markham place. Ingredients were super fresh, I got the chicken this time and there was a good portion of the meat. I like how they ask you if you want it toasted - but know, that if you toast the bread will become a bit harder. Overall good little spot and will be back. Staff super friendly

No frilles, simple banh mi sandwiches! exactly what you would want when you crave a good banh mi sandwich. Very affordable. Expect a small wait during lunch hours cause everyone likes to order more than one which holds up the line

Wanted to try a new spot so we decided on here! I’m so glad we did because it was such a hidden gem. The owner was so nice! When taking orders I heard her tell another customer she didn’t want to give them the pork because it was too fatty.. you can tell they really try to give you the best service and quality. When it was my turn she asked if I wanted it toasted, when I asked for more pickled veg instead of cilantro she was so quick to stuff my sandwich without giving me any issues like other banh mi shops lol. They also sell pho, bun and desserts here! I can’t wait to come back.

Wow! I had a great experience ordering here for the first time. The people working here are so friendly and very pleasant to chat with. They make you feel like family. They had warm smiles that were really infectious! I bought 3 items. Spring roll vermicelli, pork vermicelli and cold cut banh mi. They were all delicious! Great amount of food. They did not skimp on anything and everything tasted fresh. The value is incredible. $12.99 for a vermicelli dish is non-existent in the GTA. I will return! Thank you for a great experience. Please go support this small business!
