On my quest to find a preferred place for banh mi, I really wanted to like this place. Unable to decide between a two and three star rating, I decided to go with the latter. My experience here was probably the poorest service I have received in a long time from anywhere.
I ordered grilled pork banh mi and chicken banh mi to go. All I ordered were sandwiches. That's it. Thirty plus minutes later, no sandwiches. The lady who worked there apologized that they were so busy. Okay, fine. After 45 minutes, I got my sandwiches. By this time, I was hangry. From what I saw, they may have been understaffed, but 45 minutes is unacceptable for just sandwiches. Are they baking the bread? If so...tell me! I don't think this was the case though.
What is impressive about the banh mi here are the huge portions and freshly baked bread; however, the grilled pork tasted off. I was questioning whether or not I got the right order. In addition the veggies were lacking the vinegar taste that I am used to.
I would probably recommend calling in your order, if only ordering banh mi. I don't think I'll be back though.
