Takeaway in Campbell Parade
A no-fuss Vietnamese banh mi counter on Campbell Parade turning out crusty pork, chicken and salad rolls plus spring rolls a short walk from the sand.
If you're coming straight off the beach and want something quick, filling and genuinely cheap, this is the kind of spot we'd point you to over the pricier cafes lining the parade. It does one thing — Vietnamese rolls done fresh and fast — and the reviews consistently praise the value and the brisk, well-organised service, which is rare this close to the water. Nothing about it is fancy, and that's the appeal.
Our pick here is the classic banh mi roll — pork or chicken — with the salad roll and fried spring rolls the obvious add-ons for a lighter or shareable option.
Casual grab-and-go counter, no frills.
Local tip: Order it to take away and eat it on the grass at the north end of the beach rather than hunting for a table — this is street food, and it travels the hundred metres to the sand just fine.
Worth knowing: It's a takeaway counter with little to no seating and no view, so it's a fuel stop rather than a place to linger; Campbell Parade has several competing banh mi options, so it's convenience and price rather than a singular destination.
