I HAVE FOUND THE BEST VEGAN BAHN MI!
And look, I only had to fly across the country for it!
Excellent sandwich for an incredible price. Like whoa!! The bread is so good. Authentic French baguettes and you can tell. Crisp, but not too hard. Nice and fluffy on the inside. Filling is delicious and fresh, too.
Shop is very clean with lots of yummy interesting groceries for sale. Was offered very refreshing cucumber water which was much appreciated on this blistering afternoon.
The one thing I’d ask for is more tofu!! But, front desk lady was very kind and the food is awesome! I recommend végé BBQ bahn mi!
Edit: I have now tried all the banh mi flavours. The yuba is my favourite, but they’re all amazing! the family that owns the shop recognizes me, bc I am here almost every single week. I know they sick of me — STOP making such good...

(My friend also got the pho, which was a large helping, and also well received. He preferred the sandwiches though.)
Pros: Unreal taste, Great price, Quick, friendly, service
Cons: Not really a con, but not much seating & not fancy, You'll want to eat it all...
Read moreA gem of a hole in the wall eatery!

Everything we ate tasted nice and fresh! I had the pho with vermicelli and thought the broth was fragrant with a good depth of flavour. The "meatballs" were pretty comparable in texture and taste. The service was very friendly! While we dined in for lunch, multiple people came in to take out food so it seems like a popular place amongst locals. Happy we made a stop here! Their prices are affordable for the portions. All of the plates or bowls we had were between...
