3 Sisters Vietnamese Subs — Restaurant in St. John's

Stopped in here for lunch after recommendation from a few friends. Originally, I was just looking for a local spot that did iced coffee, and I'm a big fan of Vietnamese style iced coffees. After trying the iced coffee here, I knew i needed to try something off the menu. So I ended up ordering a Lemongrass Tofu sub. I like 3 Sister's style of Banh Mí. The bun wasn't over-toasted with the right balance of softness and crust. The lemongrass tofu was amazing. Tofu is not easy to perfect, they portion it reasonably, and I was impressed with both the flavour and texture. If topped with the works, there are pickled vegetables all of which didn't overpower the rest of the sandwich and complimented it. As a dessert, I got a brown sugar bubble milk tea, which was so sweet! I appreciate the downtown location, and enjoyed my meal around the corner on one of the public outdoor picnic tables. I will definitely be coming back to try more at 3 Sisters Vietnamese Subs!...

I’m not sure if they have changed their French baguette supplier but the « baguette » today was not even a baguette; it was just a regular bread bun. My banh mi was served with warm fillings but in an untoasted, cold bun. There was no crust to speak off, the bun texture was powdery, crumbly and it was plain soggy. Mind you, I was dining in so there was no excuse for the cold, soggy bun.

I had gone there with a carrier bag with an intention to order 5 takeouts for colleagues but instead left empty-handed because none of my colleagues, tasting today’s banh mi, would have believed any of the compliments that I had previously heaped on 3 Sisters. It was an utter...
