Great if you’re in the area.
Detailed review below because of the other reviews rating this place as one of the best.
The grilled chicken banh mi was overall excellent quality. The chicken itself was so succulent, flawlessly cooked and flavoured.
The bread was also delicious and toasted.
However I was a bit disappointed by the very thin smear of pate, which itself was quite bland. I couldn’t taste pate at all.

No wonder the store is always so busy (if you want crispy pork come before 12:00, to avoid missing out).
Recently they have added Char Siu and it too is very nice.
Always worth a detour for lunvch if in this part of...
