| - I read up on some rave reviews in LV Weekly and I'm all about the unique fusions of cuisine, especially French/Vietnamese. I haven't had a prior Vietnamese experience to compare it to, I went into it, well, a virgin.
YUM YUM, was it good! Mindblowing, no, but satisfying, yes. At this point I've been there ten or twelve times and while the level of service and the portions of meat in my sandwich has varied, it's been relatively consistent.
Virtually everything on the menu (with the exception of the "secret menu" which is noodle soups), is french baguette meets some Vietnamese meat and lightly pickled veggies. I really do not like greasy or heavily fried things, so a number of "pork this" and "fried that" were out. My staple there is the Chinese Meat Loaf sandwich which is delicious without the "So yummy but man, I feel gross for eating this." The crunch of the bread with the slight bitter taste of the veggies meets the hot num-num-num of the meat loaf is awesome. My portion of meat, however, varies depending on who is ringing me up.
I tried one of the veggie wraps with peanut sauce and it was okay. Wasn't super impressed, but it was okay if it was lunch in a hurry.
I always get the iced coffee drink. They have some bubble tea and such. Decent enough.
Interestingly enough, I hear the same songs (light, clean Hip Hop music) from the television every time I go. But it's okay, that's how I discovered Janelle Monae.
But anyway, BOTTOM LINE: It's $3 and some change for a sandwich that is yummy, leaves you satisfied, and you aren't ashamed to eat.
