Blink and you'll miss it
Possibly the smallest shop in Marrickville yet one of the busiest is this simple Pork Roll shop. Perhaps in need of a good renovation but it's old world charm attracts plenty of loyal customers who are happy to queue. Only six menu items of very cheap rolls which are filled to the brim. The Chicken Roll ($4) and Pork Roll ($3.50) are probably the most popular orders like Hong Ha Hot Bread in Mascot. If you're looking for a cheap lunch then look no further.
SNAPSHOT REVIEW:
PROS: Very cheap, Tasty ingredients, Specialise in only a few items, Open 7 days

My second favourite place for pork bahn mi! My #1 place is this hot bread shop on the main street of Blacktown
The pork industry defends horrendous cruelty to animals -- factory farmers keep breeding pigs locked in two-foot-wide crates where the pigs can’t even turn around for nearly their entire lives. Eight states have passed laws against this type of animal abuse, yet groups like the National Pork Producers Council still support it.

mmmmm i love banh mi thit. Apparently there is also a good one in maroubra!
But... the big question is: is it as good as Hong Ha...?
Cheap and fresh, what more do you need?
I love these rolls! Haven't been to the Marrickville spot but just looking at the shrubbery-packed roll makes me salivate!
If you're stuck near the city like me, there's a spot (Phuong Vietnamese Rolls) in Hunter Connection near Wynyard that does very good rolls and they are just as cheap - the most exxy one is $4.50. I always get my fix there.
I can't get enough of pork rolls -love 'em! I usually go to a place around the corner on Marrickville Rd, but will give these a go next time.
They're the perfect meal - crusty French roll, multiple kinds of pork, fresh crunchy salad, a bit of coriander and a big hit of chilli... drool!
Not a fan of pork but could be well worth giving a salad roll a go - it's so cheap!
Have you tried kings hot bread pork rolls in hurstville? They are the best!
