Everyone knows that the best place to get Bánh Mì is in the Makati area. So, when this place opened in SM Megamall, I was excited to try it!
I dropped in at around 530PM and I was the only customer. There are about 5-6 small tables to sit down after you give your order. The menu had the standard Bánh Mì options and a few fusion versions. I ordered the Classic whole Bánh Mì. The sandwich was a little lacking on the meat but the flavor was good. The veggies were fresh and plentiful; still crunchy and had the right amount of vinegar taste. As for the bread, it was "supposed" to be toasted and crunchy. *explanation to follow*
My biggest complaint is the staff. I was the only customer there at that time. The staff was gossiping the whole time and couldn't wait to clock out. 1) They said that the Classic was out of stock (WHUT?!). But, no, I insisted on the Classic. If I didn't insist, they wouldn't have opened a set of ingredients to make the sandwich, 2) They took their time to make my sandwich. I had to wait for 30 minutes to get my Bánh Mì. Apparently, it was because they made the sandwich and FORGOT to toast the sandwich. So, they had to make a new sandwich. In the end, they barely toasted it.
So, yeah. I didn't feel the "love" that people have been raving about over their sandwiches. I'm willing to try it again, but maybe not this branch if it is still the same staff. read more
