I have been in here twice.. the first time was last year shortly after they opened.. I tried both the pork and chicken banh-mi-style sandwiches. I was looking forward to it since I love banh-mi and I like supporting small businesses in my neighbourhood. Unfortunately, the meat in both sandwiches tasted like either it had been sitting out too long or the oil used to cook it was old.. something about the meat just tasted off. Anyway it was disappointing and I didn't go back.
The second time was this morning. I was surfing Yelp and I came across this restaurant again.. all of the reviews are so positive and the photos looked good. I thought maybe they had improved since being open for a while. So I went in for lunch, and unfortunately this time the woman behind the counter was really rude! I'm not sure if she was the owner or just an employee. Anyway she scowled at me when I walked in. I was looking at their menu for about 5 seconds when she snapped at me if I'm going to order or not. There was literally no one else in the restaurant so I don't know why she was acting like that, maybe she was having a bad day? Anyway I said that I was having trouble reading the sign (it is written in very tiny writing on a chalkboard at the back). Instead of taking the opportunity to tell me about their menu or to make a suggestion about what to order, she told me that "the majority of people don't have any trouble reading the sign" in a rude tone of voice. After a moment's awkward silence I just ended up walking out.
Not a good experience. Too bad!
