Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Excerpts

Ordered the combo pork with pate,fancy pork,head cheese,ham,mayo,pickled carrot and onion. I also added jalapeño. The combination of the toasted bread and generous pate made the sandwich crunchy and moist. Meats and veggie were very tasty with the pickled carrots. Price is right and sandwich are very good. I will come back for more.

The veggie seared tofu sandwich is alright, if a bit flavorless. They don’t put enough aioli for it to lend much flavor, and the tofu is bland. That said, the ingredients are fresh and the price is great. I was disappointed because this place has great reviews, but maybe the flavor in the other sandwiches comes from the meat. I would give this three and a half stars if I could.

I’m always on the hunt for an amazing banh mi, and today, I hit the jackpot. I went with the beef brisket, and it was absolutely phenomenal. The bun was perfection: fresh, soft, yet perfectly crisp on the outside. It paired beautifully with the tangy pickled carrots and fresh cilantro, creating the perfect balance of flavors. The beef was tender, generously portioned, and packed with flavor. And that dipping sauce? A sweet, spicy, and tangy masterpiece that elevated every bite. Honestly, I was tempted to order a second one right then and there!
