We ended up here because a friend and I planned to go to Lucky Red (the bar / resto from the same folks as Banh Mi Boys) and found a note on the window saying "closed for renovations" (Thurs Aug 4, 2016). Weren't they just under reno last year?!?
Anyhoooo, we walked from Lucky Red to Banh Mi Boys cuz I had talked up the steamed baos and my friend from out-of-town really wanted to try them. We got there during a small lull (~730pm), so were able to nab a table after we placed our order: 2 x steamed pork belly baos; 1 x kalbi taco; 1 x fried chicken bao; 1 x yam fries. Their large fridge was down, so only 1 cooler had cold drinks. Hopefully they fix that quickly!
I've had the banh mi's and baos from here many times, but this is first time trying their taco. Really enjoyed it; it wasn't a true tortilla, but instead, reminiscent of an indian roti, but a little more crisp. It was really good. The baos were all delicious, although my memory of past pro-belly baos saw thicker cuts of pork belly. The only disappointment were the yam fries; processed fries that I can buy frozen; nothing to write home about. Should've gone for kimchi fries which I've enjoyed in the past.
The place is busy, but people don't linger, so tables churn over relatively quickly. It's a great stop for a quick bite that's definitely a step above fast-food!
