Continuing the lunch place reviews…
This is my favorite “Banh Mi” or Vietnamese sandwich place. If you are not familiar with Vietnamese sandwiches (I am sure a lot of people are familiar with “Pho” or Vietnamese noodle soups), you should. They are usually (always?) made with a baguette (usually about 10″ long), various julienned vegetables and various kinds of meats (“shredded pork”, “barbecued pork”, “chicken”, etc.).
Not only the crunchy baguette and the excellent taste, but the key selling point (for me) is that it’s really cheap! Usually a Vietnamese sandwich will cost you $1.50 – $1.75 (and not more than $2). Well, there are other “fancier” places (such as Lee’s Sandwich) which seem to charge way more.
I usually order two sandwich and I always get “shredded pork”. I also like “Chinese hot dog”, but I think shredded pork is the best. They also have many other small items. So, sometimes, I get one sandwich and spring rolls (3 for $2 or $2.50, I can’t remember). I guess you can consider it as a Vietnamese snack place.
Anyway, one of my Vietnamese co-workers have introduced me to this place many years ago and I don’t think I have found a better place yet (not that I was looking that hard). Recently, my wife was introduced to here, and she also likes it a lot.
