I read the Yelp reviews before coming (more on this later). I only had the traditional bahn mi with three kinds of pork, including sliced and pate. The bahn mi was as it should be, a thinner sandwich bread, similar to a baguette but skinnier, with lightly pickled daikon and carrot, a cucumber, cilantro, and jalapeno. It was delicious. Which brings me to the Yelp reviews. A number of them are complaining that the bread isn't as large as a traditional French baguette. This is because a bahn mi doesn't traditionally have a larger sized baguette. A traditional bahn mi bread is inspired by a French baguette, because the sandwich is a fusion of French and Vietnamese cuisines, since the French colonized Vietnam and influenced some of their food and architecture. But it isn't traditionally as thick as a baguette, and is made of a mix of wheat and rice flour. The owner happened to be typing on his laptop and I talked to him about the bread. It is made in house, by him. It is made thin, but doesn't have rice flour. I was frankly grateful that it wasn't a normal sized baguette, because that would have scraped up my mouth and required having a lot more toppings to balance the ingredients with the bread, making a much larger sandwich than I would want to eat. In the US, a restaurant owner making a bahn mi often faces a choice between making their own bread in house, having a local bakery make it for them, or buying from a bakery that already makes French baguettes. So what people are used to eating isn't authentic, but is a cost-saving tradeoff made by using a regular French baguette, usually the cheapest of the options. So before you complain about the shape and size of the bread, please understand that this is closer to the real deal than you are used to and not a defect of the bahn mi bread served in this restaurant, despite being named "Baguette House". The rest of the sandwich is open to criticism and I agree with some that the pickled veg could have used more vinegar, but the bread was well-made, crunchy crispy outside, with a soft interior. Delish.

Cute little bakery with a sweet older lady who speaks zero English but was nonetheless extremely welcoming and kind. She even gave my toddler a complimentary macaron. Sweet. I am usually pretty adventurous with trying new pastries/snacks and it generally works out well. Unfortunately, I did not like most of the things we took home that day (my husband agreed). A taro egg ball thing -- not fans. A gelatinous rice blob inside a bamboo leaf (believe it's called Zongzi) -- also didn't work for us. Finally, the beef puff (which seemed like a safe bet) fell short of expectations. It's my fault -- I ignored that part that said "beef floss." It had a stringy/processed texture that I just didn't like. I just wasn't a fan of the flavors/textures -- but obviously that's subjective. I did enjoy the garlic bread we also thankfully bought -- it was soft and flavorful. If you're not familiar with the foods, I'd recommend making sure you get a few "safe" items like the cream bread or garlic bread. Ultimately, even though I wasn't crazy about most of what I tried, it was a cute little shop with a nice lady running it.

It's a lot nicer inside, and most importantly the pizza is just as good! Only downside is that it's just a parking lot outside, doesn't have the picnic tables under the trees. It's counter service but order taking and food delivery were both quick and professional. It's really close to Austin Creative Reuse so a perfect complement - browse around looking at cool stuff then stop by for lunch, or vice versa. They do bring you Parmesan and red peppers with your pizza, but surprisingly not garlic salt. Also they don't drizzle oil in the pizza like some places in NY do, but that's probably for the best.

It's loaded with fried tofu and big cuts of veggies (carrots, bok choy, broccoli, mushrooms), and they don't skimp on the basil, sprouts, lime, or jalapeños. HOWEVER, HERE is where they lost me: I swapped IN beef broth instead of the veggie broth for more collagen, but that broth came with such a heavy fried onion flavor that it completely overpowered the dish and took over the entire bowl. Not a hint of fried onion, y'all. A massive takeover. You might as well call this French Onion Pho. It turned what could've been a near perfect pho into something that tasted like French onion soup. If you love that flavor, you'll be happy. If you don't, it's a lot. DANG! It was SO close to greatness, but that broth threw everything off. If all of your other soup bases use lots of dried onions, LOSE THE DRIED ONION and check your other seasonings. Small changes make a world of difference. Oh well...you win some, you lose some.

We ordered the #9 Name of the Girl I'm Dating, #6 Hot Momma Huda, and #1 Elvis Kieth, and all three sandwiches were fresh and absolutely delicious. The bread was perfectly toasted, the ingredients tasted high-quality, and every bite was packed with flavor. The meats were generous, the toppings were well-balanced, and the sauces tied everything together without overpowering the sandwich.

First off, our salmon for the salad was requested as medium and well-done, but they both came out about halfway raw. I have a particularly sensitive stomach so this was a concern.

Secondly, the chai latte was sickeningly sweet- which we did bring to their attention, and they did their best to adjust it. This is my friend's favorite place and she said the salmon has never come out raw before so I might give it another try, but am definitely a bit wary on the lack of consistency in food standards.
