Disappointed.
I really, really want there to be a good Banh Mi and Pho location in Champaign, but this isn't it.
My wife and I got two different Banh Mi sandwiches, the #7 and #8. They were $5, not the $4 that others mention. I bring this up because I couldn't find a menu online - and because there are times that a $4 sandwich is fine, but the same sandwich for $5 or $6 seems disappointing.
This was one of those times. The bun came from a package; I was hoping for the crispy bun I've had from other banh mi places. Most of the sandwich was vegetables piled high, with a little meat hidden underneath. And a little cilantro and a few pieces of jalepeno pepper. Though the menu promised pate, there was perhaps a half tablespoon spread very thin across the bread. (I checked because I couldn't taste it.)
This place reminds me of Xinh Xinh, at least based on the other reviews. I felt that Xinh Xinh started strong and then started cutting corners once they'd established a reputation. That seems to be what's happening here. I'd look elsewhere for near-campus food.
Maybe someday C-U will have a good banh mi place, but this isn't it.
