First banh mi I ever had was at Nguyen Huong. I had no idea how to order or what was in it. Thankfully the woman behind the counter realized I was drowning and handed me a sandwich so I could leave with my dignity intact.
The roll, as I have come to know, was perfect. Flaky on the outside and soft as can be on the inside. Crumbs littered my shirt after each bite. The mystery meat pate was as good as any I've had since. Still the most balanced banh mi I've ever had. If I make it back I would like to try the bbq pork version.
And for $1.75 it is a pretty unbeatable value.
