Q Bakery Sandwiches — Restaurant in Seattle

First off i'd love to rate this place at least a 3.5 out of 5. Anyways, I came to grab a Bahn Mi at this place because I'm still on the search for a go to Bahn Mi place in the greater Seattle area. One that's cost effective while also providing that flavor that I'm familiar with.

Cost of a Bahn Mi is decently priced around 8-9 dollars or so. I got the grilled pork Bahn mi Texture of the baguette has that crispy with a flaky crust texture. This one doesn't cut the roof of your mouth like typical baguettes do and it has some softness to its flesh. Accoutrements are layered and have that classic flavor profile I like. Only thing that fell a little short was the amount of grilled pork. The unique thing I noticed as well was their grilled pork was sliced thinly. In comparison to the BBQ pork that my friend got. They had a larger portion of BBQ pork on their Bahn mi.

This place also has some grab and go Asian baked goods. One that I tried was a fried bread with sesame seeds. It reminded me of the sesame balls at dim sum places without the red bean paste. Also was way larger and had tons of surface area in comparison to a sesame ball.

All in all. I may consider giving them another try because their BBQ pork Bahn mi did look good. Establishment is nothing too fancy I think it's equatable to other Bahn mi spots...

Yesterday, (June 9th, around 5 p.m.) we came to the bakery to buy some bread. The 5 loaves of pre-packaged bread wasn't enough and we needed more. So, we asked for more bread. The cashier (a elderly, short woman) had no gloves on and was handling money all day. When we asked for more bread from the inside, she went to the bread cart, picked up the bread with her BARE HANDS and gave it to us like it was nothing. This is extremely unacceptable at any time but especially in this COVID-19 season where sanitation is priority! The cashier had many other options when giving us bread such as putting on gloves, using tongs, or asking one of the other employees who had gloves on at the moment whose job is to deal with the bread, but chose the worst option when handling our food with BARE HANDS! Besides, bread is a thing that you eat directly without washing or any form of sanitation, so when handling it, you should put care into giving the bread to the customer safely. The cashier is the cashier, their job is to handle the money, not handle customer food with...

I recently bought their chạo tôm, which is a hot and greasy food item. They put it in a plastic-lined paper bag, which isn’t suitable for wet or oily food, it could easily rip. I asked if they could use a container instead, and they said it would cost me an extra dollar. I suggested they consider using proper packaging, like a paper box, if they’re selling hot food like this.

When I asked to speak with the manager, the man at the counter said he was both the manager and the owner (Brian), then laughed and giggled with his employee instead of taking my concern seriously.

To make things worse, I noticed they charged me for something I didn’t buy. When I pointed it out, he laughed again and handed me back the exact amount in cash even though I had paid by Visa card. He didn’t refund the tax I was charged.

The whole experience felt careless and unprofessional. I’m sharing this so others can be aware: check your receipt carefully, and don’t expect great customer service here. It honestly felt like they didn’t care and were trying to take advantage...
