| - Solid banh mi sandwiches that are perfect for grabbing a quick lunch. While this place used to be my "to go" place for banh mi, the meat portions have been gradually getting smaller and smaller, making the sandwich mostly bread and pickled veggies. However, when I do stop here, I usually get the grilled chicken and meatball sandwiches, both of which have a lot of great flavours.
The other item I usually get is the rice platter that's around $5 each (you can find this in the fridge area opposite the cashier). They're similar to the "grilled pork on broken rice with steamed egg" sort of dishes at most Vietnamese restaurants. They're incredibly filling, tasty, and inexpensive. Also, if you're a fan of the pate they use in the sandwiches, you can head to the very back of the store and buy some to take home - perfect for making your own sandwiches at home, or adding more pate to the banh mi sandwich you buy.
Overall, this is a good place to visit for banh mi sandwiches, and while the prices are cheap, know that you're getting what you pay for. Those looking for a hearty sandwich or comparing it to the generous meat-filled sandwiches at Banh Mi Boys may be disappointed. Still, it's worth visiting for sure since there's a reason this store is consistently busy throughout the day.
