After hearing this place had the best Vietnamese sandwiches i just had to see for myself. This is definitely NOT the best Vietnamese sandwich I ever had. This place is only AVERAGE! I've definitely had better.
If you do come here for lunch though, I highly suggest getting there before the lunch rush at 12pm. There was already a lineup at 11:30am out the door. Then again it's a very tiny sandwhich stop where you can fit at most 4 people inside. Service was fairly quick, i waited for about 10 minutes after ordering and the workers were friendly.
The menu is small consisting of $5-$7 (incl. tax) subs with your choice of: sate beef/chicken, super sub (sate beef and chicken), peppered beef/chicken, cold cut, vegitarian, rib, and assorted traditional Vietnamese cold meats. I chose the sate beef and assorted which came on a nice crispy bun. All sandwhiches come with homemade mayo, and a choice of toppings like cheese (not 100% authentic), cilantro, pickled carrots, onions, hot red peppers, and soya sauce.
I was expecting to bite into a juicy, 'oh my god this is the best sub ever!', but both subs came up a little short. The sate beef was dry and bland and the mayo didn't hold up against the other flavors that well. The assorted meats was a much better sandwich since I could actually taste something. This is definitely not the place to go if you like saucy Vietnamese sandwiches.
Overall, the sandwiches are only OKAY but if you're in a pinch I say give it a try and pick the assorted meats. I will probably come back to try their rib sandwich since it's something I haven't seen before, but other than that I will go elsewhere.
