| - The service was good, but our sandwiches were mislabeled which resulted in my love biting into a jalapeƱo which set his pie hole uh blaze! My poor baby...let me get my jalapeƱos tho...k thanks.
The food:
We ordered 2 Korean Banh Mi's, however, I just wanted a basic beef Banh Mi with all the fillings. So, we got it without the kimchee and jicama. The marinated beef had no real depth of flavor. It was sort of sweet, but bland as if it was boiled in sugar water. The pickled carrots and daikon were also sweet, not vinegary at all, and vinegar is what it needed. There wasn't enough cilantro for my liking and I did not taste the aioli at all. I had to add soy sauce to enhance the flavor. Overall, the balance of the sweet, salty and sour was missing.
Shrimp summer rolls-Meh. They could have used some cilantro and Thai basil to awaken the taste buds a bit. Also the lettuce had a lot of stalks attached.
Green paradise drink-was yummy and fresh. It was kind of thick like a meal in and of itself, so I drank it as a snack later.
In conclusion, the Banh mi bread and the green paradise were bomb. I wasn't blown away by anything. I may give it another try, but a sistah doesn't eat pork and that is primarily what they have on their sammich menu sooooooooooo. That is all.
