If you leave a rating below 5, you either have ulterior motives (like trying to run the reviews down as a competitor) or you just don't know what you're talking about. One of the best bahn mi in the entire city.
The relish transcends what on might expect from a humble roll and the bread is the perfect balance between crispy and soft - soft enough that you're not woodchipping the whole thing but crispy enough to absorb all the liquid goodness the ingredients impart. And they load the thing. It's a meal.

I can’t recommend this place highly enough, they even make a mini banh mi in a dinner roll for me to take home for my pet parrot - who guts nuts in greedy anticipation the instant he...
   Read moreI had to check the store photos just to make sure I have the right place. How have these guys received 5 star reviews is beyond me. The woman who served me was so rude. I was the only person in the store. She yelled at me 3 times, what you want even after I had explained it was my first time visiting her store. I was there for less than 60 seconds. The banh mi was revolting. Half the ingredients were well past their consumable date. I love coriander but prefer mine green not brown. Had to throw it out. Waste of 10...
