It’s lunchtime in Bankstown, and the people have spoken: Banh Mi Phuong 18 is the place to be. The queue, which trails past several shopfronts on Chapel Road, has a gravitational pull on curious diners. Join them and you’ll be rewarded with what could be the best crispy pork banh mi in Sydney: a crunchy-but-pliable bun, slathered generously with umami-rich pâté, stuffed with tender pieces of crackling-encrusted pork, and punctuated by pickled pink daikon. For under $10, it can’t be beat.

Best for: A memorable meal at pre-inflation prices.
