The sandwich was great. The crew was friendly. The restaurant is nice and new. If you visit this place, please understand that they are a brand new personally owned restaurant. They have yet to display menus behind the counter as we are so used to in America. As I walked in, I was a little lost and couldnt particularly tell where I was to approach the counter to begin my order. Typically most places have a sign to help or those retracting belt dividers with an "Enter here" sign. I was greeted by the owner with many great suggestions for my order. The food looked to be fresh and stored properly. The portions on my sandwich was actually more than I expected. The chicken was really good, moist and marinated. The toppings are clearly fresh and a good variety. There was plenty of staff to help me and two other parties wanting to order at the same time. All of the staff handling food wore disposable gloves and some form of hat, which I really appreciate. The check out process was relatively fast and easy with the latest technologies. Overall I was very impressed and I expect they will be correcting the small issues soon. In the meantime, I look forward to enjoying the wonderful food and service.

It is one of the best sandwiches I have ever had. The meat is perfectly marinated and tender. The bread initially was a little dry, but the owner made adjustments and now it is perfect. It is crisp on the outside and perfectly soft and chewy on the inside. I love all of the sauces. I also like the fact that you can mix and match and create a unique flavor each time. The dumplings and eggrolls are home made. The eggrolls are small like fried springrolls, but have a more smoked meat centered flavor. The apple pie is also homemade which is hard to find today. I did not personally have the flan, but my dad said it was out of this world, and he isnt one to give compliments. I love this place. They did a wonderful job on the renovation. I look forward to their full menu board. A must try for anyone! My suggestion is the beef extra lemon grass. It is also nice that they now offer half sandwiches, and that way you can have room for dumplings and flan!!!

Please dont go here. The bread was terrible. It tasted like it had soaked in water before served. The bread used is NOT what banh mi is supposed to have. Banh mi is supposed to be beautifully browned, crisp French bread. What I got was like an elongated version of a McDonalds biscuit. Crumbly, cheap white bread. Next, the pork belly. The meat was cold and slimy. I was scared of the paté, because they called it "paté sauce". Paté should just be paté. The service is last. Service was SUPER slow. The people making my sandwich looked like they dreaded their job. They messed up the persons order in front of me, and lady mumbled to herself "this lady is going to fire me." It was pretty unprofessional. If you want a better sandwich, Id recommend Subway.

Yes!! Id been driving by this place for months - waiting for it to be open. Well I finally made it there for lunch today. And let me tell you - it was worth the wait. It totally exceeded my expectations. I went with about 10 coworkers, and everyone was raving about how good their food was. I was the last of my group to order, and wanted to try something different, so I went with the Chinese beef jerky sandwich with a fried egg. And I got a Chinese steamed bun with pork on the side for good measure. They were both so good. And the staff was super friendly - let us taste a lot of the meat options before ordering. And all of the veggies looked super fresh too. This place really blew me away and I cant wait to go back!

I literally waited for 45 minutes to give my order. There was 1 person ahead of me when I arrived. The staff had no idea what was in any of the sauces other than "this one is good." The cashier definitely took too much of her methadone before her shift, she wandered around the store mumbling and took several personal phone calls from the store phone instead of taking food orders.

The crucial element of any banh mi is the bread: fresh, crunchy french bread. The bread I got was a stale sub roll. I ordered the grilled pork sandwich with everything on it. The meat was not great, the toppings were fine. My overall experience: disappointed. With better quality food, this place could be very popular. Without a change, this place wont last long.

I finally made my way here for lunch today and it was delicious!! The store is very clean and the staff was very friendly. I got the grilled beef with lemongrass sandwich with everything on it and it was sooooo good. The sandwich was huge and could very easily be split between two people. I will definitely be coming back!

Delicious food. I recommend the beef and lemongrass sandwich. The mild sauce is actually mild and has a good flavor. The place was clean and the people are friendly. Sandwiches are a foot long and cost around 6 or 7 bucks on average. Also they have FRESH lemonade! Air conditioning wasnt working during our visit. :-(

This place is delicious and has a variety of bahn mi sandwiches! Staff is friendly, but ordering is a little awkward. I ordered the S1 pork kebab which was super delicious then the S6 Vietnamese beef jerky with fried egg to go! I will be back to try more of their bahn mi sandwiches!

Decent first effort. Ordered a shredded chicken sandwich, with an egg on top, flavors were pretty great. Bread is toasted. Plenty of sauce options. Its a decent subway competitor but it needs some fine tuning. I will definitely go back to try the pork belly.

This place is awesome! Went in for lunch it was super clean and the staff was very helpful. Oh and the food was also great! Cons: Ordering was a little awkward but staff was extremely helpful. Parking lot is a little confusing on which side to park as well.

Very good sandwich! You customize it however you like so you cant blame them if you dont like it! They need to update their website and have someone check the menu and publications for spelling errors. Other than that, I plan to go back for more!

This place has fantastic, authentic cuisine! And the woman who runs it has been nothing but incredibly helpful, so kind and does a great job running it. Definitely worth supporting local businesses with great food fare!

Food is great, staff is friendly and helpful. Ordering is a little awkward and not quite as efficient as it could be. But overall excellent food, clean establishment and very friendly service.

Good food, friendly people. Only 3 stars because I spent half of my lunch break just waiting to order. 1 inexperienced kid making sandwiches during the lunch rush? Pass if youre in a hurry.

Awesome authentic Vietnamese sandwiches served on french bread with all fresh ingredients. Nothing not to like about this place. Get the breakfast rolls too they are wonderful!

Overpriced and my green drink was not made to what shows on the menu as they were in a rush. The only saving grace was you can buy the bread by itself.
