Corner Banh Mi — Restaurant in New Trier Township

I had the pleasure of dining at Corner Banh Mi in downtown Winnetka shortly after its grand opening. For my first visit, I decided to try their signature dish: the Banh Mi Vietnamese baguette. The baguette was perfectly crisp on the outside, with a soft, airy interior that melded beautifully with the vibrant, fresh ingredients and the succulent, expertly seasoned Vietnamese ham and pate.

This is the place you want to go for when you want to authentic Vietnamese food. We got the Grilled Lemon Grass Beef Banh Mi and man that sandwich didn't have the right to be THAT GOOD.

Anytime i'm anywhere near Chicago, i will be stopping by...
