I first stopped in a few weeks ago and ordered the much loved pho dip and house made furikake chips.I really like how BBD is decorated inside with the dark wood floors, dark tables and asian decorations. The service was fine, I was greeted as I walked in and had a short wait for my sandwich. I know I am in the minority but I thought the pho dip was just ok. The roast beef was good but I just didn't think it was anything extraordinary. The chips were ok also, a little greasy though.
I usually like to give a business a second chance if I didn't enjoy my first visit, which I did for BBD.I went back today and tried the chicken katsu club, again with the housemade furikake chips. Maybe my expecations were just too high from all the other reviews but again it was just ok. The chicken was overcooked and slightly dry and the panko had little flavor. The chips this time tasted a little too fishy for my taste.
I also think it is priced a little too high. Sandwiches are $8-9 and flatbreads are $10-12. I am glad so many others like it here and wish them the best of luck. Unfortunately it just didn't do it for me :(
