| - The proximity of this restaurant and the Banh Mi are the home-runners for me.
Thank the Yelp gods for this small gem! During the four years of attending UNLV, I would've been delighted to know there was such a yummy Vietnamese restaurant just across campus. There has been numerous times I craved pho or banh mi but did not have the 10-15 minutes to drive to Chinatown.
I had some bad experiences with previous pho restaurants regarding service, but this place is great. No need to wave down waiters to get a refill for my drink. Also the venue is clean and tidy.
I had the fried egg and Chinese sausage banh mi. The bread is toasted nearly perfect. It is crunchy yet crumbles away effortlessly, almost just melting away in your mouth. No need to chew and bite endlessly like with the bland toasted bread from Subway. Damn, did I just compare this place to Subway? Yeah right. Anyways, the fried egg and Chinese sausage was great, just a little too salty. I would definitely tell them to hold the salt next time. However, only $3.50 for this tasty sandwich? I can roll with that any day!
My girlfriend had the vegetarian pho and the broth looked and tasted spectacular. I really dislike how some pho are served drenched in oil. I hate seeing pockets of oil floating around in my broth, yuck! Thankfully, the broth was very clean and tasty. Maybe because it was vegetarian pho the broth was clearer than usual. I normally have beef or shrimp pho, so next time I will try that.
In conclusion, I really like the location of this venue and the banh mi. Definitely recommending this place, not only because location but for its surprisingly tasty dishes as well.
