Overall: 4/5
An exciting sandwich experience unique to Oakville! I'm not typically a big fan of sandwiches (definitely not my go-to food) however, I really enjoyed the interesting menu options that Just Braise offers! Definitely an Asian-fusion sandwich place done right. Glad to have this option available close to home instead of trekking to downtown TO (and brave the horror of traffic and $$$ parking).
Taste: 4/5
The sandwich buns are DELICIOUS! I brought my family here to try and everyone commented on how crisp and interesting the sandwich bun tasted. We ordered the BBQ Pulled Pork and Pho Beef Banh Mi flavours - both were bursting with flavour and paired nicely with the sandwich. The beef and pork were braised perfectly, with the right amount of tender and juiciness. I preferred the Pho Beef a little bit more as I felt like the Pulled Pork was a little saltier. We also ordered a side of BBQ Poutine. I wasn't super impressed with this one as I felt like the flavours here didn't mesh as nicely and again, also too salty. Other than that, I'm still interested in trying out the rest of the items on the menu...not to mention their really cool milkshake menu!
Service: 4/5
Service is fairly quick and customer service is great. We grabbed a table ourselves after ordering and the food was delivered right to our table. I also asked for coriander on the side instead of paired into the sandwich and they were able to accommodate this - SCORE! They did make a small blunder in serving us regular poutine when I ordered the BBQ Poutine though. The chef (?) apologized when I informed him and corrected the order in a good amount of time (i.e before we finished the rest of our food). He also came by to check up on how everything tasted as well. Kudos to the Just Braise team for delivering an efficient and pleasant experience!
Ambience: 4/5
Decor is nice and modern with a good amount of seating space. It gives more of a quick dine and go feel.
Heads Up:
- Located in a large plaza with ample free parking
- Available for take-out!
