| - Few of my med school friends and I came here for a little breakfast and coffee before our afternoon genitals and breast lab. Since there were 5 of us, we were able to get 1 bahn mi free! We tried the 2 chicken, 2 house special, and 2 grilled pork. (Of course, I got 2 sandwiches!) All three were meats were delicious, but the house special stood out the most for me. I have been always hesitant to get the house special because sometimes the "bologna" taste can rub me the wrong way sometime and kick in a gag reflex. But here, I liked how the different meats were in good condition, thinly sliced and were in harmony with the other ingredients. I think the quality bahn mi bread is the best in LV. It was crunchy and soft and didn't scrape of the epithelial cells lining my hard palate.
I also bought one of the deli items. It was chinese sausage and egg stuffed with vegetables and wrapped with rice paper. What a great breakfast! It was light, full of flavor, and had protein. I hope I can find out the real name of this dish but I posted a photo just in case you are interested~ Also, I got an iced coffee and it was very standard (sweetened, creamy).
This place isn't like Lee's where you sit down to eat your sandwich. There's one table outside and one inside and they're not fancy or clean. The atmosphere in summary: Type of joint where older immigrant Vietnamese men come to grab some coffee and read their papers.
Lastly, the cashier (owner?) was friendly and helpful in answering any questions we had (i.e. What's in there?). Furthermore he was a jokester! When I asked him to slice the rolls in half, he told me it'd cost $1 per roll to slice them in half! It made me laugh because he couldn't keep a straight face (I like him!).
I'm glad to have finally found a bahn mi spot in Vegas!
