  • Oh man. It's dirt cheap here - $2 per banh mi. Being a cheap miser, I wanted to like it. But it has some unforgivable deal-breaking flaws. I always always always order the 'dac biet' banh mi/pho whenever I go to a Vietnamese place. It's basically the 'house special'/'super combo' item. It's the pho with all the good stuff (including tendon and tripe) and it's the most popular banh mi. It's my litmus test. So I step up to the counter and ask for the dac biet banh mi (a.k.a. cold cuts, a.k.a. assorted meats). The lady reaches below the counter and grabs a *PRE-MADE* banh mi in the bag and asks I 'want spicy'. Although I do not recall consenting to his vile offense, I must have stammered out a 'yes' and she pushes in some jalapenos into my *PRE-MADE* banh mi and hands it to me. Outside of a T&T supermarket, I've never seen someone lazy enough to have pre-made banh mi -- hell, I don't even know any sandwich joints that do this. In all my years, eating banh mi since I could barely walk to hitting every nearly every banh mi joint between Saigon and Hanoi... this was the first time. I've eaten $0.50 banh mi. I've eaten banh mi wrapped in newspaper. I've eaten banh mi sold to me from shoeless old ladies rowing boats. I've never batted an eye til this time. Holy hell. And it's not like it's busy there and I was the only guy in there getting banh mi (although, now I understand why). Banh mi was a relatively short shelf life - it quickly turns soggy -- not cool. And to top this off -- the bread was hard and stale. Just horrible. I hope their che and other items aren't this bad. But for fuck's sakes... "Bahn Mi" is in your damned name. Is this like ironic nicknames where you call a fat guy 'Tiny'? Go next door to Nguyen Huong ($2 - $2.50) or around the corner to Banh Mi Ba Le ($2.75) for far better namwiches. I know - a miser like me knows $0.50 difference is a 25% increase when we're talking about a $2 item. But pre-made stale banh mi? Get the fuck out of here.
