| - Our visit to Bac started off pretty great. Got an awesome seat on the patio, very friendly helpful waitress with great recommendations on drinks. The sangria was a little sweet but delicious overall. We were there for happy hour, so all the small plates are 5 bucks! We got two appetizers to get a little taste of what they have to offer. The crab rangoons were absolutely amazing. I'd go back just for those. Obviously homemade with a delicious, creamy filling and a rather spicy red chili sauce for dipping. Not greasy at all and perfectly crispy. Our second appetizer were the steamed buns with pork. Again, I thought these were great. My dining partner was not as big of a fan, but had never had a steamed bun before. I thought the buns were delicious, soft, tender, and the pork was really nicely seasoned. This is where the deliciousness pretty much stopped, and unfortunately the food went downhill from here. I had Classic Bahn Mi sandwich which is a French baguette with dill radish, carrot, jalapeƱo, cilantro, house aioli. The "classic" sandwich includes thinly slice roast pork, Vietnamese sausage, ham and pate. Perhaps this may have been a little too exotic for my personal palate. It smelled funny and tasted even worse. Again, might have just been me, but I just wasn't a fan. The bread on the sandwich was delightful however, and I pretty much went to town on that. My dining partner had the orange chicken, which was mediocre.
Overall, I'd go back and probably make a meal out of appetizers and leave much happier.
