The shop looks big and airy .. Tried their combination banhmi for $9, it ok standard but not wow either. The fact that it not prepared fresh and they let it sit so long in the fridge kills the bread fluffiness. Even when it warmed up it still quite chewy. The combo meat is there but not yet authentic especially banhmi thit has a special home-made whip egg butter and pate paste but I dont taste it.

I'm writing to the owners, many locals won't go in if they think their food has been near birds, it's extremely unhygienic also the health authorities could even strip you of your license over this, get rid...

They also serve Vietnamese vermicelli salad, sandwiches, meat pies, sausage rolls and desserts eg lemon meringue pie, brownies, mud cakes, caramel slices, coconut cakes, cupcakes and more.
The store is bright, clean and airy. Staff...
