Happiness and comfort food for me is this place. I've gone here for over a decade, yes the price has steadily increased but even 14 years ago when I first started going there the current $2.50 price tag would've been more than fair.
When I can walk into the place and they know my VERY specific sandwich, I can't help but be pretty stoked about it.
Because I order the veg option only, I say this is the best traditional no frills veggie banh mi in the city. I can't speak about the meat. I also don't have the butter or mayo... But the tofu is that flavorful and the "extra hot" peppers make me cry, in a good way. Of course you can also get no spice at all.
Try it with $1.25 mr Browns iced coffee and you're laughing!
