| - Just another great addition to possibly the Foody-est neighborhood in the Burgh! Banh Mi & Ti absolutely delivered a solid Vietnamese sandwich.
I've been meaning to try this place out ever since it opened a couple years ago, and I was not disappointed in the least. I had the pork n' roll Banh mi, a Vietnamese coffee and the shrimp spring rolls, and while everything was very good, nothing really blew me away either.
First off, the sandwich. It was everything that you would expect in a good Banh Mi. Fresh veggies, a good amount of pork and a nice roll. While the flavors were all there, I found it to be a tad boring. More spice, more sweet, more salt, would go a long way with this already very good sandwich.
Next, the Shrimp spring rolls. Again, along with the Banh Mi, they are good, but very par for the course. They taste pretty much like every other good shrimp roll that I've ever had. Not a bad thing, just would like something more exciting from a hot, new Lawrenceville food stop.
Lastly, the Vietnamese coffee. It's good. For me, it was a little heavy on the condensed milk. I prefer the coffee to shine through and the sweetness to be secondary. Also, a medium cost 4.60, which is a bit over priced. The 16oz cup is full of ice, only leaving you with maybe 8oz of drink. I'm not usually one to complain about pricing, but in this instance it seemed a bit over the top. However, I find the rest of their menu is a very good value, especially the sandwiches.
Overall, it was a very nice dining experience. Service was great, very nice space and awesome outdoor seating. Food is very good, but could use some excitement to bump it up to 5 stars.
