The man here was welcoming and warm as soon as I stepped foot in here. We ordered 2 bbq pork bahn mi with everything on it. The meat was nicely seasoned and thickly sliced. Parking lot is tiny but we were in and out. Don't forget to bring cash.

IMO this is the best sandwich shop for the BBQ pork sandwich (Banh Mi Thit nguong). They give you a lot of meat and it is so flavorful! This place have been here for over 35 years. A small mom and pop place, it’s cash only. I also like to order the Banh mi bbq chicken for my kids, they love it. They make everything in house except for the bread? I think. They only accept cash. The only thing I don’t like about this place is the parking can be hard just bc it’s very limited.

Best sandwich shop in the world! Its tiny and ugly looking, but man! The food is bomb. They make it outta love thats for sure. Come support this place and leave tips. They been around before I was born, probably in the 80's and they never miss a touch. When I left to Wisconsin for 5 and a half years, I really miss this little mama and papa shop. Wisconsin bahm mi sandwiches doesn't even compare a centimeter to this place. Hands down 11/10 stars. Love ya! One day I will help this restaurant with a huge tip to support this lovely family. Enjoy! You won't regret.
