| - 4* - Banh Mi (bread is fresh!)
2* - Slightly Frustrating Service
If you get the grandma looking sandwich maker, she does not speak English nor will she provide a receipt for your purchase. (I pointed to the receipt machine and she said, "No receipt!" I don't think she knew how to operate the register.) Normally, I am very good with communicating with people who do not speak English, but this was an admittedly frustrating experience.
I ordered 1 - Chicken, 1 - Assorted and she was making 3 sandwiches, so I had to tell her that I only wanted 2 sandwiches - more than once. She barely understood what I meant when I said "Chicken". I almost had to perform Charades for this lady to understand me.
So if you're strict Halal/Kosher or vegetarian, I cannot recommend this place as it may be difficult for you to communicate that the specific meat that you want. There's also some kinda mayo-based sauce that looks like there's some kinda minced meat mixed in. Is that pork/beef/chicken? I dunno and I'm sure this lady wouldn't be able to tell you.
Don't get me wrong, bread is very lovely, fresh, and it's $3 for a longish banh mi. However, if you have certain dietary concerns or low on patience in dealing with someone who doesn't speak/understand English, I'd steer clear.
