| - CHEAP MEATS, CHEAP EATS, LOW GRADE INGREDIENTS
This is always my concern when I head into Chinatown and I order meat, which is, dear god, where did this come from?, and at what prices so that they can charge this price for the food.
We've all had our share of banh, young, penniless, it's the go-to. I still get the occasional urge and once a year I may get banh off Spad, the second one north of Dundas, ya know, the busy one, yeah, that one.
I trust that quality more than I trust the food-handling and food-purchasing at Banh Mi Boys.
I take issue with the braised cheek, I get the feeling they just add to it, and it never gets cleaned, it just kept on warm forever and forever. If you do go, get the pork belly, it's popular and it's fresh at least.
I came down with sth after the braised cheek, slow cooked and kept warm on that burner beside the cash. Right away, auto-reminder, why am I eating Chinatown, it's Mother's Dumplings all over again.
SERVICE
Brisk, friendly, young, really upbeat, up tempo, sweet little cashier, good looking kids in the kitchen, happy to be there, think it's a hip job, people like ya, people pack the place, they're rock stars, ya know.
Good, good kids.
