The ones in Sunshine is better. Selena's can't beat them for price and taste.
Where's the one in Sunshine? Wouldn't mind trying it
Opposite the big building that's currently being built on Hampshire Road. There's two one called Selena's and the other is Red Chilli. you can't miss it, they have an outside area where people tend to sit and have Vietnamese coffee.
Thanks will give it a try later this week as I'm around Sunshine often (for legit reasons)
yum thansk for posting
Am i the only one who thinks that $8 for banh mi was very excessive?
Looks like a hippy white owned joint…
hipSTER owned joint
Totes expensive. It's a bloody rip off. Local joint still sells the basic one for $4 every day. The best Bahn Mi place in CBD (N Lee) sells them at $6.50 for the pork roll one and that's on the expensive side. I'm going to give this one a crack since it's only $4 but I doubt it's close to being as good. I blame Roll'd for all this horseshit price.
Baget even charge $10 for 3 rice paper rolls!
Bakery stores in Preston (High Street) and Richmond (Victoria Street) in Victoria, sell Baget for the price between $4.00 to $6.00. But the qualities are SUPERB!!
Roll'd just market them selves and repackaged those traditional viet food with hipster names and packaging. i know the couple who own the joint. Hats off to them for starting Roll'd after failing at the Italian takeaway in Goldsbrough Ln, with no Vietnamese food stores in a 4 block radius they're bound to succeed. Even though their foods are over priced and mediocre at best.
Inala and Darra in Brisbane are the best in town and go for $4.50.
Cool.
But this is in Melbourne.
Sucks to be you then…
yeah its a bloody joke !!
Huh?!? Footscray in but minutes away from me - I can't get my head around paying much more than $4 any old day.
In Cabramatta and Bankstown only $3.50 every day Is it a good deal ?
Cabramatta pork rolls shit on any pork rolls I've had in VIC
edit: not to say that there aren't good pork rolls in VIC, just haven't found any as good as Cabramatta rolls here yet.you must have had some shitty pork rolls in vic then.
go to the good places next time, they contain less shit :P
try the one in Sunshine and see how you go
Go to a Vietnamese bakeries in a Vietnamese area like Footscray, Richmond, Springvale, Sunshine, St Albans etc…
If the place has no Viet clients, it's probably not authentic or good.
Will definitely keep this list handy,
Love me a good pork roll
4 for $10
I think hong ha in mascot is the best!!!
It's only $2.50-$3.00 now because of the competition.
How do these compare to the more grammatically correct baguettes?
IMO. Different frangrance, bit lighter and crispier. But others may differ since everyones taste bud differnet.
Ung ho dong huong.
These are always about $4-5 on Victoria Street, not sure how they compare in taste and quality !!
Nhu Lan bakery at $4.5 is pretty good, no discount required. BBQ pork and the mixed ham rolls are the best there.
I don't like Nhu Lan, the quality of some of their cold meats aren't as good and the place isn't very consistent at all. I'd recommend almost any of the other numerous places on Victoria St.
Nhu Lan are now $5. I was there last week.
Prices in cbd will always be higher due to rent and only mon-fri lunch bring the big turnover
Thus justify the doubling the price compared to Victoria St? $8 is a complete rip off.
Rent in the CBD is more than double Victoria St.
i don't see CBD coffee shops doubling their price of their coffees because of it? $4 coffees while other places around the suburbs charge $3. by your logic CBD coffee shops should charge $6 per coffee.
Coffee is $3.50 at Ba'get. It's not unexpected to pay in this price range for similar banh mi in the CBD.
Then why did you bring up "Rent in the CBD is more than double" as a justification for doubling the price to Victoria St? which is not true with my coffee shop comparison. now you twisted and say its standard price to charge $8 in CBD? well which is it? you work at Ba'get or mates with the owner?
I've been eating pork rolls since 1970. In those days they were referred to as hepatitis rolls
I'll take my hepatitis roll with BBQ pork - with pate and extra chilli, no butter. :)
I lived through the Springvale salmonella outbreak of 1997
You lived in Springvale. That's worthy of enough credit in itself.
Why is your name Baget?
It should be Raiden
Heh.
Nhu Lan no where near as good as Sunshine and St Albans
all comes down to "personal taste"
I'd try Scumshine and Stab Albans if I lived in the west, have heard they're good too.
Isn't Broadmeadows stabbing central?
Anything north of Pascoe Vale is stab central.
Shows $8 in the app until you add to basket. Must be signed in.
$8 is crazy price. Add $1.5 and sit down and enjoy a bowl of "Bun Bo Hue".
Definitely 'white people' price. Springvale, Footscray, St Albans etc. all charge below $6 for a really good roll. Such a shame that something as sacred as the Vietnamese pork roll is becoming gentrified into 'white people' food and being placed into the 'white' people price bracket. $8 probably accounts for the cost of having an eatery in the CBD.
Why does skin colour even need to be mentioned ?
From a financial standpoint, a place in the middle of the city is likely to have to pay some hefty property fees and needs to find a way to recover cost based on location.
The difference in price points in outer areas such as Springvale, Footscray, St Albans etc might also be significantly proportional to the operational costs of the business. Even further to this, business owners in the outer areas, have a higher probability of affording to purchase the location outright, also further reducing operational fees.
Not only that, you have a significant amount of competing business in those outer areas and convenience of being able to live near their business (ie. less travel time, less travel cost)… Those areas are also likely to have a population base that also grew up eating those and are used to it as a staple food, all of which have potential to lead to a profit.
these things used to be $2!!!! Not $8! Ripped off by so called 'trendy' place that sells the same thing as Springvale and Richmond and Footscray..lol
And petrol used to be 60c a litre, what is your point.
this is still a ripped off :P
4.50 per Roll @ Fresh Chilli , Alfreida St, St Albans , BBQ Pork roll is the best
http://www.freshchillideli.com/If you're charging $8 you are ripping people off unless your pork rolls give orgasms or get people high
What a rip off. U can get that in springvale for the same price
Pork rolls in springvale costs only $4.50
2 years back when I was working in Perth city, City Provisions charge close to $7 for each roll and I would happily give them my money. After I moved to Victoria and discovered Footscray, realised I got ripped off =(
Wonder if the prices are still the same in that place…
Yes they pretty much are. THere is one banh mi shop in freo that charges $9 for 1. I looked at the sign and laughed
Love it when these new stores call themselves genuine street food but with toorak prices
gentrification
How'd nobody mention Footscray yet?
i did.
This app is quite good, but the name is very stupid. I always have trouble explaining the name of this app to my friends.
looks like ive been getting the cheaper pork rolls than everyone else.. $3 at hurstville
ITT: People thinking they can run a business with sit down tables and CBD rent and offering the same price as the outer suburbs with takeaway service only.
hmm yeah in that case maybe they are selling the wrong product, sit down tables don't really justify such a price increase from a customer perspective (would you say "oh look it's double the usual price, but i can sit down in the restaurant as opposed to the public bench over there")
the regular price of $8 is too steep for me to be a normal customer (unless it's a whole baguette sized sandwich). For $8 i'd hope for fresh baguette rather than "factory" looking one on the pic.
i do understand location may change the price but 100% increase ?! @@
$4 sounds ok for trying it out, good luck to the people opening their store.
It may be too steep for you (wrong demographics here), but $8 is a very fair price for any lunch in the CBD.
;) obviously ozbargain isn't an $8 sandwich crowd … but also being in the CBD, i'd hope it's not just another supermarket/franchise sandwich.
i'll try give it a go on my day off if it's still at $4
the problem is it's not a full lunch.
1 Banh Mi is not enough to fill you up, at least not for me.
how do these compare to the ones in sunshine?
