General Info

Tucked away at 12 Macedon Rd, Templestowe Lower VIC 3107, Australia, Bao Mi Templestowe Lower is the kind of Vietnamese restaurant you stumble upon once-and then keep coming back to. The location feels convenient, especially with free street parking nearby, which makes popping in for a quick bite or a relaxed dinner surprisingly easy.

Walking in, the atmosphere leans casual and welcoming. It’s a great spot for solo dining, whether you’re grabbing something on the go or sitting down to enjoy a warm, satisfying meal. The menu is focused yet diverse enough to cover both light, healthy options and more filling dishes, which gives it a balanced appeal for different cravings.

One of the standout items here is the Grilled Pork Banh Mi. It arrives with a crisp baguette that crackles slightly with each bite, layered generously with juicy grilled pork, fresh herbs, and pickled vegetables. The flavors are bold but not overwhelming, and everything feels well-balanced. It’s the kind of sandwich that feels both indulgent and refreshing at the same time.

On the other hand, if you’re in the mood for something comforting, the Sliced Beef Pho is a must-try.

What customers say?

“ Tucked away in the middle of Macedon Plaza shopping strip is a small Vietnamese shop serving authentic banh mi, pho, vermicelli and rice. I took my family there for a Sunday lunch. The place was buzzing. We had to be cosy and shared a table for two. We ordered Sliced Beef Pho, Pork Chop on Rice and Grilled Chicken on Rice. The consensus was the food was delicious and better than all the Vietnamese places in the surrounding areas. I will definitely come back and try the banh mi and other dishes. ”

“ A solid 3.5. The beef combination pho was very good. Lots of noodles, the soup was good. Beef was a tad over cooked rather than a bit under. But that was about it. The soup didn't have a strong "pho" base. Couldnt taste the star anise, cloves or cinnamon. Maybe based on a different part of Vietnam? ”

“ Best Bahn mi I've had in a long time. Huge and stuffed with juicy pork, will definitely return! Edit: I have returned the same night for dinner and decided to try the pho! Equally good! I think I've found my new favourite Vietnamese restaurant! ”

“ The perfect Banh Mi. I personally have mixed pork with all toppings. Even during peak lunch rush they still provide the perfect Banh Mi. Highly Recommend. ”

- Jack Berman -

“ Highly rate the crispy pork banh mi. Been back twice already. Very generously packed with fresh ingredients, very crispy and value for money. Looking forward to trying their pho next. Improvement for owners: Recommend you hire 2 experienced staff to make banh mi's especially on busy days such as friday/saturday lunch as waiting time is too long. Cutting bread before opening doors and pre-chopping the meat will be more efficient instead of cutting it for each order. ”

“ Best priced Banh Mi I've come across lately. At $9 each, filled with fresh ingredients, these Banh Mi are very good value. We tried the crispy pork and vegetarian options, both enjoyed for a quick lunch sitting outside in the sun. Staff were friendly and service was very efficient (despite many orders!). Missed the mark on the rolls for us, more soft/chewy than crispy/fluffy. Crispy pork also didn't hit it for crispiness on the crackling. Not the best banh mi we've had, but would definitely return if we're in the area! ”

“ One of the best Crispy Pork Banh Mi’s I’ve had. All others very solid and well priced too. Could improve slightly on fresher rolls. Very good for Doncaster though, highly recommended ”

“ Have been here a number of times since they opened, by far the best bahn mi in the area! Have had grilled pork and crispy pork - meats all tender. Fried rice is delicious!!! The veggie spring rolls are also nice as are the curry puffs. One thing I will say though - a couple of times the bread didn't feel as fresh/crispy as it had the previous time I had been. To the owners, just something to be mindful of. Keep the portion sizes generous and the meat delicious and you'll keep me as a customer for as long as I'm in the area! Glad to have you part of the macedon square shops :) ”
