A good intro into Vietnamese food but strays from being truly authentic.
The concept is very intriguing. It's almost like fast food Vietnamese cuisine. You have to go up to the counter to order your food. We got the pork banh mi ($7) and the combination vermicelli bowl ($11). A couple of things caught me off guard:
-Where are the greens in the vermicelli bowl? (Yes there's a bit underneath everything but it was unbalanced)
-The pork tastes straight up like chinese restaurant pork (the ones that give free samples on a toothpick). Yes it's good but it shouldn't taste like that.
-The bread in the banh mi was pretty bland and mediocre.
Having said that the BBH and the pho looked pretty good. Will have to go back to try those next time.
It seems like this restaurant has a locational advantage with not much competition nearby, but I really recommend to those that enjoy this restaurant to try other places such as Flaming Kitchen Pho or Banh Mi Bros. If you're ever on the west coast Lee's Sandwhiches will blow you away.
