| - Okay, it may seem odd that my review seems less generous than the others, but it's for good reason. When I first walked in, it seemed like a nice, clean, and pretty hopping establishment. The interior was clean, and it drew a mostly Asian crowd, which is a good indicator of nicely-made food. I ordered a Vietnamese iced coffee with a banh mi containing pate, Vietnamese bacon, and other Vietnamese-style cold cuts. Everything was very cheap and the total came to under $10, making this a very economical choice for people looking to eat under a budget. The coffee had a nice balance of strong flavors mixed with a milky undertone and icy coolness, and the banh mi was one of the best I've ever had. The creaminess of the pate combined with the variety of meats, the crunchiness of the vegetables, and spiciness of the peppers (and by spicy, I mean pretty spicy) made for an overall divine sandwich. It should have ideally been a great meal. So where is the problem, exactly?
Well, a few hours after consuming all of this goodness, I started feeling quite nauseous and couldn't put my finger on where it came from. It lasted for the better part of a few hours and it wouldn't seem to go up. I hadn't eaten anything else that day, and I was wondering if the banh mi had anything to do with it. It sounds bizarre, especially given how the inside didn't seem dirty at all and the fact that I've eaten banh mi countless times before. Until I try this place again, however, that's the only part I can put my finger on clearly. Hopefully next time I have a better experience.
