| - Must try: Banh Mi Burger
This is such a great treat for fans of anything Asian fusion. The thing I love about it though, is that while it's trying to be creative and innovative in its flavor combinations, it is true to its core as a burger joint: the buns were warm and soft, the beef and pork patty (I will explain again) juicy and properly seasoned, and the uncompromising presence of burger grease. To those modern foodie fad setters out there, I don't mind being experimented on with your wacky creations like deep fried corn or frozen buns, but you have to stick to the root of it and at least do the basics well, which I think dac biet accomplished. Like the owner said himself, "we have the cheeseburger which is popular too... I guess you can't be a burger joint without a good ol cheeseburger".
My friend and I did not order the cheeseburger though, we jumped for the Banh Mi Burger and Pho Burger. Both were delicious. The Banh Mi Burger was our favourite for two reasons, the seasoning and the lemongrass/pickled white radish vinaigrette that's all too familiar on a traditional banh mi... and the pork patty. I don't think I have had pork patties before and the texture was so interesting and pleasant. I think it was double pattied but they were not too thick... it was just the right thickness for it to brown and crisp around the edges. Sooo so yummy. The Pho Burger was great too with good beef patties that separate into real meat chunks instead of an indistinguishable lump, plenty on bean sprouts, hoisein sauce and sriracha. I didn't like it as much because it was a little greasy, but that's saved by the pho soup they gave you. You may think that's gimmicky but it definitely helps, it refreshes your palate if you will, besides what's pho without the soup. We also got the Dac Biet poutine, which is supposed to be fries and cheese curds with pho sauce, so as to be more flavorful. Nothing against it except maybe the gravy substitute can be a bit thicker, otherwise you can try it if you want, if you don't you won't be missing much.
The owners are very nice. They engage you in conversation and seems genuinely pleased with what they have created. They seemed down for my suggestion on a chicken burger, saying that's what they have been thinking about as well. I appreciate people who care about what they produce and keep looking for ways to improve and grow. Thank you for having us, it was a great meal.
