| - Do you love banh mi? Then Nguyen Huong should be the only place you should go for them. Don't settle for anything less.
Pros:
Best banh mi in town
Prices are still good
Cons:
If you order a regular, you get one that's premade (order the special sandwich)
I've been going to Nguyen Huong since forever it seems. I used to frequent the Chinatown location a lot but since moving uptown, this is the location I've been going to now. For those that don't know, banh mi is basically a Vietnamese sandwich. Think sub sandwich if you will. The difference is that a banh mi is way better and and way cheaper than you're garden variety sub.
There are other places in town that make banh mi, but if you ask me, no one comes close to this place. They have multiple locations around town so there should be one near by where ever you may be. These sandwiches are made fresh every day. I've got a pro tip though for all you banh mi lovers out there. If you want your sandwich made fresh right in front of you, always order the special sandwich which is basically just a large version of the regular sandwich. It's about 50 cents more but they don't make those in the morning ahead of time.
There's a variety of other sandwiches from bbq pork to shredded meat. I always just get my special. It's tried tested and true, believe you me. You have the option of making them spicy or not spicy. The prices have gone up a little since I've started going. It used to be $1.75 for a regular and $2.25 for a special when I first started going. It's not $2.50 for regular and $3.00 for special. It's still and awesome value though. Nowhere else will you get a sandwich this good for this much.
Again, there's no better banh mi then Nguyen Huong. I'm actually a big fan of banh mi boys myself, but when it comes down to it, Nguyen Huong is still boss when it comes to banh mi. In terms of taste, speed and value, nothing comes even close.
