BanhMi SaiGon — Restaurant in Modena

As an American who eats Vietnamese food regularly all over the US (made by Vietnamese people), I was surprised that the bahn mi #3 (the only one that sounded most like what I normally order at home, regular pork bahn mi) doesn't taste a thing like what I am used to. In fact it looks like it has cheeseburger cheese on it. I'm not sure what that orange stuff was. Point being that if you're an American looking for bahn mi, just be prepared to not taste the same flavors that you're used to. There were some pickled vegetables, but no Sriracha mayo, no cilantro at all, and in general just a very very different flavor. My husband ordered the bun, hated it at first but slowly got used to it and liked it at the end. But again not the typical bun you'd find in the US. Lacking in herbs. The people that worked here are...

Absolutely delicious food and lovely staff. I had a pho which was really really tasty, just like in Vietnam. Additionally I think it is worth supporting businesses that serve authentic international cuisine and bring a refreshing variety to the otherwise firmly traditional Italian food scene in...

The bahn mi is okay and the spring rolls are okay, I've had better, but they're fresh and the folks working there are polite, the price doesn't match quite what they offer but otherwise I'd say...
