Excited and anxious to get a taste of a Banh Mi French-Canadian Asian style, I was led to Hoang Oanh Sandwich.
An older Asian local suggested I try it, but didn't know the store by name, and I'm really hoping that I misunderstood her directions because their Banh Mi is a big Banh NO.
I'm not the slightest bit snobby, but I must say that I deserve a sandwich better than the pre-made and packaged one that Hoang Oanh offers. I ordered the traditional ham variety, and the bread is chewy and difficult to get a clean bite. On top of that, the meat / veggie portions couldn't satisfy a squirrel who ventured from the trails of Mont Royal Park to Chinatown for some Yellow fever. You kiddin' me?

FYI:
This review is soley based on the sandwich portion of the store, other items are offered within that don't pertain to this.
P.S.
I hope homeboy below (Bailey Z) is not including New York and Boston as a black hole for quality Banh Mi. Not the case, Broham. I'll even agree to a taste test challenge on that ass. 617 is where it's at.
