Banh Mi Tres Bon is a new restaurant in Richmond by the Walmart Super Centre. I’ve heard lots about this place, so I decided to come here after work to grab some dinner with M before we went home. We don’t spend a lot of time in Richmond, but when we do, it’s for eating.
Interior
The space isn’t too large but can fit small to large groups if you come at non-peak hours. On a weekday, it did start getting busy later in the evening. There were other couples and families coming here.
Menu
Savoury Mini Crepes
This comes in a hot cast iron pan and has 7 pieces of mini crepes. This is one of their popular dishes. There is a jar of fish sauce that you pour into each slot and it starts steaming up due to the heat. As much as it looks great in a photo, I didn’t really like the taste of it as the fish sauce wasn’t the best pairing in my opinion.
Vietnamese Fresh Soy Milk
This soy milk is very unique and seems like it is infused with pandan, which was very nice and subtle.
Phở Très Bon
I got the beef tenderloin and meatball noodle soup. The broth was very clear and delicious with depths of flavour. There is even a piece of decadent bone marrow too. There were a lot of jalapeños but it wasn’t too spicy.
There is lime, bean sprouts, and basil on the side on this cute boat. You can add it to the pho to add more flavour to it.
Bánh Mì Jambon-house special
This has Vietnamese ham & braised pork belly. The bun is crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. Delicious flavours.
Butter Garlic Chicken Wings
We also ordered some crispy chicken wings. Nice and crispy. It comes super hot and right from the fryer, so you’ll want to wait for it to cool down.
Final Thoughts
Overall, we were pleasantly surprised with the food here and we’ll definitely be back for more pho and banh mi.
