| - I usually treat myself to Sunday lunch after Sunday church mass. So today as I drive on westside Vegas, I took myself to Chinatown Plaza. While browsing this area I walked into Mr. Sandwich French-Vietnamese Cafe for something edible and partake on a sandwich! I haven't had one in some time.
This cafe is small but with contemporary wood decor, like a little hip French bistro. The menu is posted in a large lighted box outside the cafe glass wall, complete with photos of the sandwiches, specialty rolls, special iced or shaved ice drinks, coffee, various appetizers, house special dishes, and vegetarian sandwiches. All offered, amazing affordability...awesome! Sandwiches are $3.49. Clean cafe. Fast service. Cordial waitstaff and cashier. Cool, hip crowd and customers. Hip-hop msic plays from their stereo. The cafe has a little store of candies and assorted beverages if you prefer to satisfy your thirst and for a sweets treat.
Questions about my ordered sandwich and special drink were answered with a smile by my food server. I treat my body like it is a temple, so I asked beforehand what is in what I eat before I ingest because, I have a tendency to "vaccum and inhale" edibility. The "Assorted Seafood" Sandwich I ordered arrived my table warm and in crispy French bread made with fish cakes, shrimps,pickled carrots and pickled daikon with jalapeno green pepper. It was laid out on a basket. It tasted just like I have tasted before in one of New York's neighborhood restaurant where I lived before while in college. Truly French and Vietnamese style! The "Thai Passion Special Drink" in a glass was filled with shaved ice, coconut milk, lychees, jackfruit, green and red jello and round palm fruit jelly. "Thai Passion Special Drink" is made with half-and-half milk but I asked for coconut milk with it, my request was granted... it was even a better tasting, cool, nice, slurpee of a cold drink! Oh passion, Oh love...I felt the love! (omg, see photo...not realizing till I saw photo, coincidentally isn't it the lychee fruit imbues love?) Food was incredibly tasteful and appetizing with the drink very imbibing! My pores hydrate! A new place to visit for healthy sandwiches, meals and drink!
Mr. Sandwich is a fast food, concentrated version of L.A.'s popular restaurant "Hue Thai" which specializes in "banh xeo" or crispy crepes. This Mr. Sandwich Cafe specializes in "banh mi" or sandwiches, as well as curry lamb, soups or "pho"(in Vietnamese, it is pronounced as "fa!"), flavorful pate, chinese meat loaf, and iced drinks. You can make a girl eat large but you can't make me do away a sandwich!
