—-DO NOT GO HERE FOR SANDWICHES—- I normally do not try and stir the pot but as an American vietnamese who recently moved to Tulsa and wanted some banh mi, this place will charge you DOUBLE THE STANDARD FAIR of regular banh mi. No where from OKC to Dallas Texas does banh mi cost 7$ (7.65 including tax). standard price is 3.50$ (with tax). If you’re reading this and you buy banh mi here, you’re being ripped off an extra 3.50$.
Justification - none They don’t even use daikon radish Extra meat? no Cooked in a special way with secret sauce? No Extra long sandwich? NO STANDARD LENGTH They only have chicken/pork/beef (I had pork which was grilled pork) No dac biet No thit nguoi No other combos Service was bad - they immediately serve you the receipt for you to stare while you eat Water was just plain water Decor was standard Hipster restaurant - no Supreme NGO organic ingredients - I bet not. Was the bread crispy on outside and warm and soft inside ? No- just standard or even subpar Vietnamese French bread which when I bit into felt as if they used a microwave to warm up the bread - I’m sure they have a small oven to heat sandwiches but it didn’t feel like it.
NOTHING TO JUSTIFY THE PRICE
I can understand the Vietnamese population in Tulsa being less than OKC and if the price was 4.75$ I can understand but $7????
Unless you’re stranded in Tulsa and absolutely crave banh mi you might as well go travel to okc or somewhere else. If you come here for sandwiches, it’s authentic, but you might as well PETITION FOR LEE’S SANDWICHES TO COME HERE and drive down the price.
I don’t even like Lee’s . If you’re in OKC go to Lang Bakery, or quoc bao, hell go to Cao Nguyen or bistro b for that matter.
TLDR: THEY CHARGE YOU DOUBLE PRICE FOR SANDWICHES. STANDARD FAIR is 3.50$ w/ tax vs their 7$ w/o tax. No flavors but grilled...
Read moreThis place is for sure a hidden gem in Tulsa. In the beginning I was honestly wanting to gate-keep but this place is just too good not to share. The service is wonderful and the food is great! I have personally had almost everything on the menu and it has all been exceptional. It is a family business and multi-generational so I feel as though this may play a part in the quality because family recipes tend to be the best! Every time I come to visit I am greeted, sat (typically pretty quickly depending on how busy the place is. But I have never had to wait more than 15 minutes on a super busy night) and able to have some really cool conversations in between while being checked on. I can also attest that I have been going here for YEARS as it was the first restaurant I ever went to when moving to Tulsa and I have been hooked ever since. I believe I could even say the food has gotten better as time has gone on... I would recommend everyone try their special pho (P7) as it takes you on a trip to winter days and sitting by the fire (but at a restaurant surrounded by other people lol) but also (my personal favorite) the ramen to DIE FOR!!!! Make sure to try out the pork belly with this because the way it just melts in your mouth and makes you do the little happy eating dance is something I would wish for everyone to experience. Overall, very yummy, great atmosphere, and wonderful customer service. They are also open later than most places leaving no excuses for most families and those who like a later...
Read moreI’m guessing this is a family operation. They have a very nice friendly staff that provides good service. A little more cleaning would really help this place: like knocking down a few cobwebs off the overhead lighting and wiping down the sauce bottles on the table. I just hate it when you go into a restaurant and the bottles of whatever sauce that is on the table, look like they haven’t been wiped down since they were first placed there. You know what I am talking about, those crusty looking boogers hanging on to the nozzle that have turned black from age. It puts me on alert right away and kind of affects my appetite. With all that said, our food was good! We had the Panang Curry, which was rich, flavorful, and full of vegetables and chicken! The other meal was the Tan Tan Ramen. The description of the Tan Tan Ramen “a spicy sesame broth that originates from Szechuan China, served with ground pork green onions and Napa Cabbage” got me interested. Well they did not have the ground pork, so I went with the chicken and had it medium heat level. I really liked the flavor of the slightly spicy sesame broth and the...
