| - Their bread is soft like clouds, except these clouds are edible and delicious, far superior to clouds. Honestly, I had avoided Mr. Sandwich because I thought they were affiliated with Hue Thai (their bags say so!), and I remembered not loving the Hue Thai sandwich. Last night, however, we were starving and driving aimlessly down Spring Mountain. In an act of semi-desperation, we decided to give Mr. Sandwich a whirl.
Sometimes hunger serves you well. I ordered up a tofu banh mi, and I was pleased with the results. The warm, soft bread really makes the sandwich sing sweet tunes to your taste buds. The tofu tasted fresh, and the vegetable fillings were solid with nice, long strips of cucumber. I will say that I couldn't tell if there were any jalapenos. Perhaps you need to ask for them? Perhaps there just wasn't enough. Either way, I appreciate a nice spicy kick on my banh mi, so next time, I would make sure to secure jalapenos.
The atmosphere is casual. You order at the counter, and then, if they are playing the same tunes as last night, you sit down and listen to some foul-mouthed gangsta rap or maybe just some Lil' Jon. That was unexpected, but it made me laugh.
Banh mi and gangsta rap - it's what's for dinner.
