Fantastic Bahn Mi. Bulgogi is the way to go. The bread is phenomenal and makes the sandwich. Thanks Albert!

My son and sister ordered some drinks. It is a very small place and it took about 20 minutes to get the drinks. I thought that was little long, considering we had to pay for patking.
Kid-friendliness: The staff were busy talking to a customer instead of making our drinks.
The boba here is so yummy! Stumbled upon this shop after getting my nails done. The service was really amazing, you can see how much they care about their food & drinks.
Hadn’t gotten a boba I liked so much in awhile think their parings are awesome for those who love fruit teas

If I could give zero stars I would. I came here today around 4 and got a Tai milk tea and a bam mi. The sandwich was horrible it smelles rotten and straight up like garbage. The smell was so bad I was on the bus and it stunk up the whole bus and I didn't know it was the sandwich until I got off and smelled my backpack which I might add I can still smell the smell in it. Maybe this was a bad day but this was a huge no. This company really needs to work on throwing out food that is past its shelf life.

This is one of the more filling and worthwhile banh mi shops you'll find the city.
It's sometimes difficult to find proper French roll but the chew and crunch was just right. The fillings are extremely generous and tasty – we tried the five spice chicken, special combo and tofu. The staff is beyond friendly and the small storefront is very clean.
If I had one small criticism, it's that I wish the shredded carrots and daikon were pickled a bit more. A little acid would have further elevated these already delicious sandwiches.

Sorry but tofu banh mi was not GOOD! big oily tofu cubes that are hard to eat and no sauce, just a whole lotta salt. Sorry guys but Crissy is going elsewhere next time!

We shared a special combo and a five-spice chicken (added the garlic-mint aioli to the latter, which was a thumbs up choice). Saucier/juicier than other banh mi I've had, and very generous with all components. What really blew me away was the Kumquat Kraze, an oolong/kumquat iced tea that's almost umami in flavor (in addition to light sweetness and mild tartness). It's been days and I'm still thinking about that tea!

I ordered a veggie banh mi today and the bread was good and crispy but the tofu wasn’t crispy at all, it was SUPER rubbery and bland. They don’t fry tofu by the order, the tofu is already fried and they just reheat it in an oven which causes it to lose crispiness and becomes chewy like rubber, also it was difficult to eat since the tofu comes in big cubes. I would recommend to cut the tofu the same way you cut the cucumber( long way) so that way the tofu will go along with the shape of the bread better. Another thing I really did not like and thought was lacking of good hygiene and very unprofessional was that the girl who works at the front was talking the whole time with her coworker or owner while she was making my food. I myself work in a restaurant and that is something we take very seriously. Unless you have something necessary to communicate with a coworker you should minimize personal conversation while customers are present, firstly out of respect for your customers and more importantly because when you talk you could spit on their food accidentally, especially if you don’t wear a mask (which is fine to me) it’s not very hygienic behavior when you work in the food industry. I’ve order from this place before and the food was pretty good. I am not just trying to only be critical but just wanted to offer some constructive criticism. I would’ve given more than 2 stars but the hygiene issue is a big one for me, that being said, I would give them another chance.
