Carmina's review on Summit Hotel in Tacloban

Last year my dad had informed me he will be getting married in Tacloban the place his wife grew up in the Philippines . My dad said he would like all of his family members to attend since they couldn't go to the one in the United States. Carmina booked her flight during Philippine Airlines ’ year-end sale at the start of 2026. I told my dad about my travel plans for a short trip from Friday, April 17 to Sunday, April 19. My cousins also asked for my flight details so they could book the same flight. My dad said he will book my room for me sharing with two family members at  Summit Hotel in Tacloban . Sending me the confirmation booking information for my reference.  As the months went by, before I knew it, the big day had finally arrived—a rare event that doesn’t happen too often. Everything had been carefully planned by my dad and his wife, Tita Cielo. When we arrived, the check-in time was 2 PM, but there was a mix-up with the rooms.

Carmina's Review on Banh Mee Express


Carmina found a reasonable price of a Bahn Mi that can fill you up from the price you pay for one sandwich you can purchase a second one to try which one you like the best.

You're choices are from Lemon Grass Chicken, Pork BBQ and Beef.

Carmina is not really a beef person so she didn't to opt it and go toward the two remaining flavors with all the vegetables all in tack inside the Bahn Mi.

Vietnamese sandwich has always been my favorite but I haven't found the right one that can say this is the one.

In other Vietnamese sandwiches I've tried before the bread is either too hard to chew or the texture of the bread doesn't seem to be fit to make it into a Bahn Mee.

Finally from soul searching Bahn Mee Express has solved my solution from what I wanted from a Vietnamese sandwich the bread is soft; meat is flavored that reaches your taste buds and all the vegetables inside can savory to be combined all together to make a delicious Bahn Mee.

  • Lemon Grass Chicken Banh Mi PHP 109.00 ($2.18) tastes a mixed of Filipino Adobo with a combination of Vietnamese flavoring in the meat. It is not a bad thing since we live in the Philippines there are other restaurant that is influence by combining pate, cucumber, pickled carrots and radish, mayo, cilantro and their special sauce.

  • Pork BBQ Banh Mi PHP 109.00 ($2.18) has a taste of the Filipino Pork Barbecue something I had tasted when I had bite into the sandwich when you combine the pate, cucumber, picked carrots and radish, mayo, cilantro and special sauce that is inside makes it Vietnamese.

I am very picky in food somehow I found my favorite one. I cannot wait to try their other dishes in the future.
