This place used to be so good. Now it's just less than average. The sandwiches are now so dry. They use no mayo.

“I recently had the opportunity to try this delicious establishment with my gf and I fell in love instantly.”
I recently had the opportunity to try this delicious establishment with my gf and I fell in love instantly. Since I don't eat pork I normally don't get a chance to try Bahn mi's. But here they have chicken options so I was in luck. I have tried both the curry chicken and the lemon grass chicken and they are so delicious. The sandwhiches are so crunchy, and the veggies are always fresh and crisp which compliments the warm chicken very well. If you never been, I suggest given them a try asap!

Really good banh mi under $10, can’t go wrong with that. Went with the curry chicken but I’m sure the others are good too.

“I always order the buy 5 get 1 free traditional cold meat sandwiches for around $44.”
I always order the buy 5 get 1 free traditional cold meat sandwiches for around $44. And it is worth every penny! But the #12 vegan BBQ “meat”sandwiches is not going well for my vegan friends. Please read this and consider WHY?? I will just come back for the real meat sandwiches like #1 that sell out fast 💨
