Earlier this month, noodlies, Sydney food blog announced an ambitious and totally controversial project – the search for Sydney’s Best Pork Roll (banh mi thit). Yes, six weeks of pork roll munching and chomping to find the best pork roll in Sydney. Go to the earlier noodlies post to nominate (closes 20th April) and for more information including:

Noodlies Sydney’s Best Pork Roll Search (12 March – 21 April)
As I’m chomping, I’ll be posting videos of the nominated pork roll shops with a very brief review summary. The winner of noodlies Sydney’s Best Pork roll will be announced at the end of April.
So many pork rolls, so little time…
King’s Hot Bread: great crusty bread and creamy mayo taste. Watch to the end of the video, they really do give service with a smile.
KK Hot Bread, Cabramatta
Nam Fong, Bankstown: great meaty taste, pate almost overwhelming, one for the meat lovers.
Bay Ngo, Bankstown: good pickles, but bread could be crunchier.
Flourland Hot Bread, Liverpool: cheap and cheerful in a unique location!
Vinata’s, Hughes St, Cabramatta: nice pickles, great meat and they make their own soy sauce.
See 702Sydney ABC radio broadcaster and a group of Sydney food bloggers rate this nominee.
Minh Hung “Hot Bread”, Hughes St, Cabramatta: great bread, nice price.
Kim Thanh, Cabramatta: Across from the station, it’s particularly popular at breakfast time for workers and students.
Viet Hoa, Cabramatta: Open 24 hours and is one of the oldest hot bread shops in Sydney
Hong Ha, Mascot: Feted by bloggers and foodies, the line can stretch out the door.
Marrickville Pork Roll, Marrickville: literally a hole in the wall, this place is easily the busiest in the area.
Hoan Cau, Cabramatta: Cheapest, cheerful and open very, very late.
Jamison Bakery, Penrith: Tasty pate, nice balance, bread could be crustier – one of the cheapest in town.
Tina’s Hot Bread, Canley Heights: the bread is one of the best crusty but not too ‘sharp’, very hot chillis too.

I’d be interested to see what you think of the pork rolls from Banh Mi Bay Ngo in Bankstown. You should definitely check them out! 🙂
Yep, will be trying the Bankstown places in the next few weeks, Riley
That looks very delicious! I am still yet to try one of these… There is a place at footscray that has huge lines… Today might be the day!!! Dayle
Yeah, do Dayle and let me know what you think!
Now, after eating so many sandwiches are your mouths hurting? lol
you should check out saigon roll in st leonards. delicious!!!!
I love pork rolls but can no longer eat them due to my immunosuppression therapy after a recent transplant. My partner, on the other hand, can still eat them so perhaps we’ll visit some of the places mentioned here and he can eat the pork rolls while I find alternative tasty foods to review.
I think Kim Thanh in Cabra do a great chicken roll! Mmmm
Everyone loves their chicken roll.. this is specifically about pork roll.. but I’ll have to give the chicken a whirl another time 🙂
