Ordered through DoorDash for lunch and honestly quite disappointed. The duck bahn mi lacked flavor. The bread is not toasted and the vegetables don’t have that pickled fresh flavor. Basically tasted like any other sandwich. Next was the tostones, these were decent. Really good with the curry aoli sauce.
Overall, can’t say I’d order from here again.

hole in the wall banh mi + vietnamese restaurant, decent prices for sandwiches (around $12-15 depending on the meat you choose). some fun drink options and sides to choose from. there’s space for seating inside and the service was fast! would definitely recommend for a quick lunch if you’re walking around the city

Pork is good but overall just okay.
Chorizo egg roll was worth it though.
Saucy Porka in the South Loop is a gem for fusion food lovers. I tried the Ropa Vieja Beef Banh Mi, tender beef with a kick of kimchi on a fresh baguette. Added a Chorizo Egg Roll on the side. The Funky Monkey Fries were a standout, seasoned fries loaded with beef, cheese, and jalapeño aioli. The place has a chill vibe, and service was quick. Spent around $24. Definitely coming back for more.

The food is expensive for what you get. It lacks flavor and most of what we had was quite dry. Can’t say I’d recommend.

If you're looking for some next-level comfort food with a twist, Saucy Porka is your spot. I tried their Pork Belly Bao and the Yuca Fries, and let me tell you, the flavors were fire. The fusion of Latin and Asian ingredients works way better than you'd think – the pork belly was crispy, juicy, and packed with flavor, while the yuca fries had this perfect crispy crunch. It’s a bit on the pricier side, but you get what you pay for. I dropped around $35 for the two dishes and a drink, and it was totally worth it. The vibe in here is chill but buzzing, and the staff was super friendly. Definitely coming back to try more from their menu!
