Just went here last week and loved it. I’ve haven’t had any luck finding a good Vietnamese banh mi sandwich since I left NY. This one was very good. The bread wasn’t as crusty as I would have liked and is traditionally used, but it was still great. A surprise was the Oyster mushroom soup. Also fantastic.
