So the local Mom & Pop Grab n' Go shop (Juicy Fresh EMC) has now been retired and replaced by Banh Mi Shop. While I'll miss the old place, this metro corner is in desperate need of being infused with better affordable lunch food. This shop is the 3rd new food place to open up in this area (along with an oven baked pizza place and sushi shop), and is now officially the cheapest place to grab lunch in the area.
For $3.70 (including tax) I got the grilled pork sandwich with a can of coke. The sandwich was a decent size (though not as big as Banh Mi Boys) and was fairly decent. I will warn you, it is really crumbly so prepare yourself. I think it would be a bit better if they cut the sandwiches in half before wrapping them.Crumbly + long sandwich = very unelegant eating experience. The sandwich itself is pretty tasty. It won't blow your mind as the flavors are fresh but not very intense. But when you consider the price, it comes out on top as being a great fresh alternative to most of the places in the area.
Finally, the service is very friendly and they have a point card system. Buy 8 sandwiches and you get a free one. I love when places do that because it truly encourages me to come back.
I will definitely come back here soon!
