I came here to satisfy a Banh Mi craving after the place I normally go to for that sort of thing ran out of the sandwich...awkward. I had never been here so I figured why not?
First things first - I got the sandwich to go and it was delicious. What sets this place apart from other Vietnamese restaurants around in regards to the Banh Mi is that they offer three kinds. I got the Banh Mi Thit Nuong (my favorite one) and it had everything a Banh Mi Thit Nuong sandwich should have. The pork was grilled but not tough and you could taste the marinade. The picked onions and carrots had a lovely flavor that you could taste and mixed well with the pork, the jalapenos, the cilantro and the pate/sauce. The bread was also perfect. To top it all off it was $4.95. You can't beat that.
The downside is that because of its location, you have to find parking at a meter if you're driving in. Then again if you work in the area you don't have that issue and I definitely urge you to stop by! There's an entrance off of Rockwell that's into the restaurant itself or an entrance off of Superior but you have to walk through the hallway of the building a bit. The interior is suprisingly massive and their menu appears extensive.
I'm definitely going to stop by here and try out more of their menu!
