Crisp, toasted baguettes shattering on impact and hot noodle broths anchor this compact Elizabeth Street counter. Locals drop in for the roast pork bánh mì—juicy cuts layered with crunchy crackling, rich pâté, and sharp đồ chua soaking into the crumb. When Hobart weather turns brisk, regular diners pair sandwiches with a side cup of beef broth or tackle bowls of lemongrass-charged bún bò Huế. Plant-based eaters get full run of the board too, from vegan char siu to clear, aromatic vegetable stocks. You tap an order into the screen at the door, grab chopsticks from the station, and squeeze onto a bench.

Tried the vegan pho and the vegan broth is so yummy! You can’t taste that it’s vegan and it’s very flavorful! All other ingredients taste super fresh
PheNom603 The Banh Mi and Pho Cup Duo
Pairing a crusty banh mi sandwich with a side cup of hearty, aromatic pho broth satisfies two cravings in a single order.
I can even order a pho cup on the side to satisfy both cravings
Jen Vasquez Memorable Textures and Rich Flavors
Crispy pork crackling and savory pate layered inside warm bread produce an intensely craveable bite that keeps diners returning.
The crispy pork was so good and their pate was amazing. It was so good that I had to get another round of this on another day

Roast Pork Banh Mi
The Roast Pork Bahn Mi was great the both times we had it. The pork was so juicy and had a good proportion of fat to lean meat. A bit of extra crispy pork skin was also sprinkled into the bahn mi for the added texture and taste.
Ian Mo Beef Brisket Pho
The beef brisket pho is a must try along with the special pho and the mixed meat Bun bo hue. All very tasty with a lovely gloss to the broth.
Natasha B Bun Bo Hue
Top shelf banh mi and bun bo hue. You can get excellent vegan meats here in your banh mi and they been excellent every time we've been. Bun Bo Hue was deliciously lemongrassy and so was the chilli paste you can grab yourself.
Mark Chaimungkalanont Vegan Pho
Tried the vegan pho and the vegan broth is so yummy! You can’t taste that it’s vegan and it’s very flavorful! All other ingredients taste super fresh and the hot sauce was also really good!

Helpful tips for ordering, seating, and combos at Ja & Jon Banh Mi
Order via Entryway Kiosks
Use the self-service digital kiosks right at the entrance to streamline ordering and quickly customize spice levels or note dietary needs. If paying with cash, place your order at the counter instead.
Consider Takeaway During Rushes
Indoor seating is compact and can get crowded during peak lunch rushes. For a more relaxed experience, grab your crispy roll or noodle soup takeaway to enjoy at a nearby park.
Pair a Banh Mi with a Pho Cup
If you are craving both a warm noodle broth and a crispy sandwich, add a portable pho cup side to your banh mi order rather than committing to a full bowl.
