I visited for the first time last Tuesday and immediately noticed the great vibe. We tried the egg coffee (asked my coffee to be sweeter) and coconut iced coffee, and I have to say, the egg coffee was hands down one of the best coffees I’ve ever had – it was amazing! Although we didn’t try any food this time, we’re definitely looking forward to coming back. The lady who served us was so lovely and friendly!! I HIGHLY recommend the egg coffee! a MUST try drink.

What a delicious and delightful meal! Tasty and satisfying home style Vietnamese food, would definitely come again. The presentation was delightful and cute. It was quiet when we went during the week, with a cute vibe and atmosphere, everything we ate was a 10/10 in my books, but maybe I just like Viet food too much!

Awesome and affordable! I had a fantastic meal at Banh Banh Expresso. It’s easily one of the best spots in Five Dock for a fresh, high-quality lunch that doesn't break the bank. * Banh Mi: The bread was perfectly crunchy and the fillings were so generous. I loved the addition of the fried shallots and sesame seeds—it added a great extra layer of flavor and crunch. * Vietnamese Iced Coffee: Strong, bold, and perfectly sweet with a great frothy top. Exactly what you want from an authentic cà phê sữa đá. * Fresh Juice: Super refreshing and beautifully presented with fresh mint and orange. The service was friendly and the prices are very reasonable for the quality you get. Highly recommend if you're in the area!

I’ve walked past this restaurant so many times and now I’m kicking myself for not eating here sooner. Dropped in with the family for dinner and I was impressed with the quality of food & generous servings. Staff friendly & service very efficient . Fresh ingredients & delicious Vietnamese meal options with a great range of juices & smoothies. We will be back! Update - came back for brunch next day to try the Banh Mi. Was blown away by how good the Cheese Omelette Banh Mi was. I need to work my way through the menu here!

The best Banh Mi ive ever had! The meat/fillings are so tasty and fresh and the bread is nice and crunchy but soft on the inside. My partner and I travel over 45 minutes to come get their Banh Mi's, no other compares!

Stumbled upon this cute little place. Immediately, service was super friendly & the ladies serving were happy. Food was delicious & beautifully presented. Everything came out in a timely manner. We tried the avocado coffee & egg coffee. Avocado coffee was delicious, egg coffee was good & very interesting, although too sweet for my taste. But if you like sweet coffee I'd recommend to try. They have many dishes to try, so will definitely be back, & highly recommend.
