“ Got the curry chicken spicy, was hot and delicious. It seems spicy just meant with jalapenos. The slaw is really bright and flavorful. Cash only but tax is already included in pricing. Recommend if you're in the area ”

“ Calling all Pescatarians/Vegetarians … this is the best Vietnamese Sandwich shop for us! There’s three options: 1) Fish sardines 2) vegetarian chicken (tofu) w/ lemongrass 3) vegetarian curry chicken (tofu). The sandwiches are filled to the brim and the vegetarian chicken is flavorful and tender! Don’t forget the Vietnamese coffee for this hot summer day! ”
“ This place is . As a vegetarian, it’s hard to find good Bành Mi, but this place hits it on the money! No frills, hole in the wall, but that’s how you know this place is the real deal that serves authentic and good food. There were tons of people coming in and out of here on a Wednesday at lunch, so clearly IYKYK. Skip the overpriced pizza and come here for some real cuisine. Will definitely be back next time I’m in the neighborhood. ”
“ We tried the banh mi here and loved it. My wife is Vietnamese and she thought this is best banh mi she has ever had. The place is small so it's best to get takeout, which is what we did. For takeout orders, they put the veggie filling separately so that the baguette doesn't get soggy. We tried their house special and grilled chicken. Both were excellent with very generous filling and the baguette was just the right texture (some fall apart when you bite, but this one was the right mix of crunchy and chewy). ”
