| - I was in the mood to have a Banh Mi and it's been quite awhile since I ate here, probably 2-3 years. It was a rainy day and it just seemed like the right type of food and to down it with a boba drink.
Thought about treating my mechanic and his helper and I thought my husband would like this. And I know my kids already like this, and they were starting to eat solid food again from being sick the past week.
Ordered 3 grilled pork Banh Mi's, 2 grilled chicken and a roast beef croissant sandwich and 2 orders of 5 pork & shrimp egg rolls. There was nobody ordering at the time we ordered and the lull of any lunch rush was over.
The Banh Mi's were very reasonably priced at $3.49 and it's quite a lot for a sandwich. The egg rolls, I thought, were a little pricey at $3.99 for 5 Vietnamese style egg rolls (deep fried), but the sandwich price made up for this. I can't remember how much the small croissant sandwich was, but I think that was close to $5 and it wasn't very big.
So the deal is to get a Banh Mi, but my son wasn't up to eating that much and needed something softer. All that came to about $31-32, which that's food for 6 people's lunches, so not bad.
It took probably 15 minutes to make the order, which the egg rolls were already prepared, so I thought it took a bit more time. I didn't know that the Banh Mi wrappers indicated what sandwich it was.
The guy that took my order is Latino, which isn't a big deal. I think the guy making the stuff was Asian. Oh, and make sure you bring cash. They do not take credit or debit cards and there is a machine for you to get cash, but there is a $1.75 charge. I wish they had this as a sign on the front door - CASH ONLY!
Next time I will know. That was why I gave it a 4 star, but really, it only deserves a 1/2 star knock down for that, not a full star. But, since I'm Asian, I should know that some Asian places only do cash. Okay, heck, I'll give them 5 stars.
We'd go again. Everyone that I got the sandwiches for liked them. The baguette was perfect - somewhat toasted on the outside and slightly soft on the inside. The grilled pork was very tasty and just enough of the veggies, not too much. Just the right amounts of meat and veggies.
My mechanic and his helper had the grilled chicken Banh Mi and they loved it. The egg rolls were good.
