The Banh Mi Shop

Tha place looks good, the ambience with the outdoor sitting is a perfect spot on a sunny day. The people on the counter were friendly and welcoming. They have good amount of options for food and drinks. I ordered the chicken teriyaki, it tasted nice but has a sweet taste to it. Although the bread could have been a little soft n moist. It was a bit dry. I am not a tea drinker but I took jasmine milk tea with boba and it tasted good. The prices are on the lower side. So a good place to visit if you like the sweet taste I personally like more spicy food.

Two out of the three sandwiches we split were phenomenal! The lemongrass pork and pork belly banh mi’s were dynamite. The mini baguette was freshly baked, the pork was charred and richly meaty, and the pickled veg and fresh herbs made one heck of a sandwich! Unfortunately I really didn’t care for the pork meatball banh mi. It was something off about the pork, it just tasted kind of sour and bitter and wrong. I’m not sure it could’ve just been a kitchen mistake or some thing. But it really was inedible. I really wanted to like the limeade, but it was pretty flavorless. It didn’t taste like lime and it was really just like sweetened water.

I’m sure this is a great spot for Bahn mi in a small town but I could not get used to the taste. The ingredients used seemed off from many other shops with a similar product. They used a lot of mayo in my sandwich and forgot to add extra cilantro and cucumber. My sandwich ended up getting no cilantro, which isn’t a big deal but it would of help tremendously with the flavor. I ordered an assortment of different types ranging from cold cut to the grilled streak. All tasted a little off from every bahn mi shop I’ve been to. The flavors had a more Americanize taste to them similar to like a subway sub. I liked the shop look and atmosphere. It had a vibrant array of colors. Can’t say much for customer service since I was in and out within minutes.
