⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 — Mat Lit
Had a very good grilled pork banh mi here. Pork was tender and flavorful and the bread was tender with a crisp edge (but didn’t rip the top of my mouth). Pricey and a bit small at $13.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Stephen Valenzuela
Just leaving with an Avocado smoothie with boba And strawberry jam. Have never had this combination available before and I think it’s going to be a new trend. The jam is supposed to be for the Dirty Dirty milk however she decided to give it a try and it looks amazing and tastes even better! I’m excited to try some bahn mi on Dutch crunch bread next time around! Must visit! And highly recommend
