In Vietnamese cuisine, or banh mi (, ; , "bread") is a Portuguese Roll, pão de sal with golden crisp crust and pillowy soft inside. It is often split lengthwise and filled with savory ingredients like a submarine sandwich and served as a meal, called bánh mì. Plain banh mi is also eaten as a staple food. A typical Vietnamese roll or sandwich is a fusion of meats and vegetables from native Vietnamese cuisine such as chả lụa (pork bologna), coriander leaf (cilantro), cucumber, pickled carrots, and pickled daikon combined with condiments from French cuisine such as pâté and Spanish such as Mayonnaise, along with red chili pepper. However, a wide variety of popular fillings are used, from , char siu (chinese bbq pork), (a Chinese cuisine) to even seafoods such as lobsters, salmon, and crabs.

Following the Vietnam War, Overseas Vietnamese popularized the sandwich in countries such as Australia, Canada and the United States. In these countries they are commonly sold in Vietnamese restaurants and bakeries.
