Once you open the door it immediately smells like smoked meat, and you can see a cloud of smoke coming from the back where the grill is. Needless to say I ended up smelling like barbecue after, but this was a small price to pay for the food that we had.
Kimchi Fries ($5.99) -- First up, Kimchi Fries. Whoever came up with this idea is a genius. I wasn't too appetized at the combination initially, but the combination of vinegary kimchi, sweet hoisin sauce, tangy mayo, savory pulled pork, and cheese, over a bed of crunchy hot fries would quickly banish any doubt. Its a big portion, but the four of us finished it without a problem.
Braised Beef Cheek Steamed Bao ($3.49) -served with cucumber, pickled carrots, and cilantro -- The steamed bun ended up being a bit sticky from the condensation as a result of all the attention we gave the Kimichi Fries. But if you can look past that or resist the urge to neglect it over the other items, this was a great order. The beef cheek is really tender, and it quickly melts together with the soft steamed bun. I think I prefer the steamed buns at Swish By Han more, but these are a good alternative when you just want to grab and go.
Kalbi Beef Taco ($3.99) - served with purple cabbag slaw, kimchi, pickled carrots, and cilantro -- Starting off with a chinese pancake, it is topped by a mound of intensely marinated beef, and its companion toppings. It's a deliciuos combination, and I love the slight chewiness of the pancake "tortilla". But be warned --it will be a lot of dripping sauce, and spillage of overflowing ingredients!
Five Spice Pork Belly Banh Mi ($5.99) - braised pork belly, pickled radish served on a baguette with house mayo -- The last order was a no brainer. I mean we're at Banh Mi Boys, so how can you not order banh mi? The Vietnamese sandwich comes out on a warm crusty bun, filled with a balanced combination of pork belly, radishes, and sauce. It was definitely a different experience having banh mi warm, since I usually have the chilled ones from China Town. I have to admit, this ended up ranking last on my list of things we ordered. Not that it wasn't tasty, it just couldn't compete with everything else that was more spectacular in comparison.
If you don't mind your hair, clothes, and skin smelling like smoked meat, Banh Mi Boys is a great spot to hit up for any meal or snack. Two thumbs up from me! :)
