About this spot
Bon Bon Sandwiches delivers the chaotic energy of Wicker Park with its iconic banh mi that packs pickled daikon, cilantro, and charred pork into a soft baguette. This spot is famous for its 'Banh Mi Thit Heo' which features crispy pork belly and fresh herbs, though you'll need to hunt for it on the chalkboard menu as items rotate daily.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order the Banh Mi Xao instead of the standard sandwich if you want a savory, fried egg topping that elevates the flavor profile.
- Expect lines during lunch hours in Wicker Park and be prepared to wait while staff manage the high-volume rush.
- Ask for extra pickled carrots and daikon on the side if you find your sandwich too dry or heavy.
