like a subway for banh mi service: 5 stars for being friendly/attentive, accommodating to request for extra pickled veggies, and fast (though arguably too fast) food: 2 stars, edible like Subway but not a high quality baguette, very little flavor to anything price: 1 star, WAY overpriced for quality and quantity, $10 for 2 sandwiches that were essentially bread with cucumbers,
to be fair, if you like meat, their meat options may be better
was recommended by the barista next door as a very popular place for locals was skeptical when I saw it was a local chain but gave it a shot anyways since it had vegetarian options when the 2 others in the plaza did not
food details: #9: tofu banh mi - better than the #10 below because the fried tofu had at least soy sauce seasoning #10: Vietnamese vegetable banh mi - was literally a traditional banh mi minus the meat. nothing else (like stir fried vegetables which is what i thought I ordered) to add flavor, texture, or volume
for both, the "fresh made" French baguette felt like Subway quality (pre-made dough that they bake there). flavorless but at least not stale neither had any sauce (except a spritz of soy sauce) so both were dry pickled vegetables were too sweet, tastes like they add lots of sugar to make it have a...
Read moreI went here with the Ant and The Worm. Our dentist suggested it when we ask for recommendation for bahn mi. The Ant got the meatball sandwich which is really delicious and there was a pepper yellow oil on it that was a little spicy in that she liked. The Worm went for the eggs and was happy. I couldn't decide between the sardine and the fish cake so I asked if I could get them both together and it was no problem. I ate too fast because it was so good and became a little nauseated so I have to remember to take my time especially with something as rich as a fish cake. All about me were five stars, and I wanted to point out that the bread was perfect. Even though this place is a chain some of the more famous chains have hard bread, and the bread here is really good. The Ant also had pork bun which she really liked. The spring rolls were good and fine but not outstanding, and the iced Cafe sue was not impressive at all, it had a caramel aftertaste that was more Starbucks than Little Saigon. did the Bond movies with a star. I also got spicy tofu vermicelli which I haven't eaten yet but looks...
Read moreThe quality of the sandwiches have gone down. I don't care for any of their sandwiches side the flavor is always lacking and on the dry side. Their cold cut combination is the worst of all the sandwich places. The best sandwich they have is the chicken but ask for extra "bo" or spread. They have a lot of choices of prepared foods but with price increases lately a chicken plate is $10. I wouldn't pay that for cold food. They do have a lot of sweet rice choices and they have decent rice sheets/pork filled rice sheets. I go here to buy their plain baguettes currently at $1.50 each. For sandwiches, I drive down the block to...
