  • I've been on a Vietnamese sandwich (banh mi) kick for the past month or so. My banh mi bellwether is definitely Lee's Sandwiches, but Chandler is quite the trek for me, so I've been on the lookout for good banh mi in CenPho. I read about Thao's Sandwiches here on Yelp and thought I'd give it a shot for lunch yesterday. By far, the best part of my Thao's experience was the price. I ordered a grilled pork (thit nuong) banh mi, and it cost me all of $2.71. It's hard to complain about anything if you're out less than $5.00. The sandwich's innards were all delicious. The vegetables were fresh and pleasing to the eye, and the grilled pork was thinly sliced, as I like it. As far as the inside of my sandwich, I'd give it 4 stars. But my favorite part of bahn mi is the bread, and the bread at Thaos did not meet expectation yesterday. I want my banh mi bread crispy on the outside and soft below the crunchy crust. The Thao bread was uniformly soft - it was like a Vietnamese torta or something. And that made me sad. I really wanted to look past that, but it was impossible for me. Also, the customer service left a lot to be desired. It seems like Vietnamese establishments sometimes get a pass on this criteria, but they shouldn't. I ordered my sandwich, and when I told the woman at the cash register that I was planning on eating it on site, she gave an exasperated sigh, and looked across the restaurant, scanning - it was evident there were several four tops available, but it was almost lunch time, and I think she felt like I'd take up space better used by a group larger than my one-man party. I didn't want to disappoint her, so I told her I'd take the sandwich to go, and brought it home instead. Oh well. So overall, I give Thao's two stars - if the bread were better, I suppose I could have given it a third. But I'll keep on my quest for the best banh mi in town, and likely not return.
