Fantastic shredded pork banh mi, and great egg rolls. Best I have ever had by far. And affordable. 100% would recommend.

This is one of the worse banh mi ever, I called in yesterday to order beef sandwiches when amd the meat was cold and sour, this is definitely not beef and not fresh. It was so bad. The worse beef ever.

I use to work at a popular Banh Mi restaurant in North Carolina. It was great, but as far as toppings and meats it was very accommodating to the western palette. Now this spot is more original to how a Banh Mi is made. Those other “Hip” Banh Mi restaurants marinade their chicken, pork, beef in fish sauce and/or KBBQ sauce and a lot of sugar. If you appreciate REAL Genuine Banh Mi come here. I know I do

Their egg rolls were the closest to home cooking that I’ve had in 22 years away from home. I saved some my husband and reheated/air fried them 3 hours later and he was impressed too.
The banh mi grilled pork was not what I expected. The meat was lemongrass flavored which was nice but I couldn’t figure out what cut it was, it wasn’t firm…. I was expecting slices of meat. And it was food colored pink, which I’m used to if you get bbq pork but not grilled pork. I got my husband the chicken banh mi and it was full of meat.
The bread is the best and closest to what I had as a kid in San Gabriel Valley.

The food (sandwiches) is good, but service is pretty terrible. The atmosphere is a local asian grocery store, so not really a place you can sit down to eat (and wasn't meant to be).
While waiting for my food, I was watching how they made the fruit smoothies. Pretty gross. The lady literally took fresh strawberries out of the crate, cut the stems off, and threw them into the blender. She was grabbing them with her bare hands (without washing her hands or the strawberries). I would definitely not get fruit smoothies from this place.
