Dinosaurs Vietnamese Sandwiches

Dinosaurs Sandwiches is a cute little shop with drinks, chips, and a variety of bahn mi sandwiches. I really enjoyed the roasted portobello sandwich, which was well-seasoned with salt and pepper, and topped with pickled carrots and daikon, cucumber, and cilantro (ordered without jalapeños). It was very tasty and came on a lightly toasted French roll with vegenaise. They also have a small souvenir stand of Dinosaur Sandwiches apparel and caps. There are a few tables and chairs outside. I highly recommend Dinosaurs Sandwiches for their delicious and fresh food, and speedy service.

Delicious delicious! It was worth every penny. It may be more expensive than your average banh mi shop, but I could taste why and I support the shop’s want to serve highly quality ingredients and I don’t mind paying for it. I got the special and was incredibly impressed. There was a nice thick layer of pate which was warm! It tasted homemade versus store bought. The meats were also warm and thick slabs. I’m not the biggest fan of the bread shape, just it’s shape, but the bread itself was nicely crispy outside and soft inside. Veggies on point. My husband got the shaken beef, quality of the beef was great, cooked well. I also got an avocado shake, gah, I haven’t had one in ages! It tasted just like how my grandma used to make them. You can taste the avocado and know it was fresh avocados and not powder. Their Thai tea was also delicious.

The bahn mi and summer rolls are both SO good! Their vegan tofu bahn mi is delicious too, and I appreciate that there are great vegan options. The prices have definitely increased a lot since 2017 when I first started coming here, but that’s due to inflation and similar to other restaurants. Even though it’s mostly grab and go, there’s even some outdoor seating to eat in.

Writing a love letter to the shaking beef banh mi here, which is so addictively delicious. I've tried some other flavors (pork, meatball, the special) and honestly the other banh mi options are probably 4 stars, but the shaking beef is just so incredible you MUST try it. Fluffy but crunchy bread, they don't skimp on the meat when it comes to the beef (whereas I've been disappointed before with the pork sandwich) -- it's too good!
