I have been looking for Banh mi place down this end of town since I moved here. I noticed the sign on the road as I drove past the store. Banh mi signs always catch my eye.
This store serves lots of different takeaway options. Yiros, Banh Mi, Cold Rolls, Pies, cake, etc... Kind of one of those confused deli's. But, I am always willing to try a Banh Mi. I am not going to let that affect my decision.
A few options are available: Spicy Pork, Lemongrass Chicken, avocado or tofu. I went for the lemongrass chicken. The roll was fresh and crunchy, the carrot was well pickled, herbs and cucumber were fresh. The chicken had good flavour, but probably could have been marinated for longer. My only fault would have to be that there was a bit too much carrot in this roll. Maybe this was just a one off.
Not bad Banh mi out of the city. But, not the best. I will give them another go though, maybe I caught them on an off day. read more
