I think this is one of the best places for a Banh Mi sandwich. The style is different from other shops around town as they go for longer and thinner bread which doesn't need more filling.
Tung Hing goes for a longer (9.5") bread and slimmer bread that simulates a mini-french baguette. The bite and texture is delicious along with the ratio of filling to bread is great! Other Banh Mi places in Toronto may have a similar price but you get a fat and shorter bread that makes it seem like more there's more filling but hard to get a good bite ratio of the sandwich and the texture and ratio is not the same. The Banh Mi from Tung Hing has the perfect bite and the fresh baked bread is crispy makes it one of the best places for Banh Mi. It's only $4 and it's similar to the youtube videos of Banh Mi sandwiches from Saigon. I've dine in restaurants that sell them for $8 for the same amount of filling(those restaurant don't last long as people realize other places are cheaper and better). They don't stuff it with filling like Western style sandwiches from deli stores for $12+ (subway doesn't count as that's just like a fast food version) nor does it needs to have more filling if you want more than you're too used western style or just like filling.
Last thought if you want to eat it the next day keep it in the fridge. Reheat it in the toaster oven for a few mins (I put mine in until toasted medium) and you will get a flaky crispy bread thats fab-ul-ous with the pate. Delicious.
