This is the new infamous Vietnamese sandwiches- Banh Mi. This place offers very fresh bread baked with delicious butter. The moment you open the sandwiches wrap, your mouth starts to water. The meat taste fresh and well seasoned. The place is new so it is really clean. If there is any negativity, it would be the price for the sandwiches. The bread loaf is smaller than usual for the premium price. Giving the economic condition of COVID 19, I am ok with the price to encourage the business to stay open.
Chatted with the owner and manager ..... went there today for Grand opening.
Asked if they use authentic ingredients like chicken pate and they said YES! Therefore that means YAY for the rest of civilization.
Got two regular banh mi combos (see pics).
--> Is there actually pate in the baguette roll? ..... heck YES.
--> Is there actually vietnamese-style super delicious headcheese cold cuts in the baguette roll? ..... oh YES.
--> Is there actually jalapeños in the baguette roll? ..... better believe it YES.
--> Is there actually pickled julienne daikon and carrots in the baguette roll? ..... of course YES.
--> Is the banh mi using the real vietnamese-french baguette roll that's crusty on the outside while soft and chewy on the inside? ..... oh my lord YES.
--> Is there a fried egg in the sandwich? ...... Believe it, yes! As an add on cost.
Bonus --> The glutinous rice dessert in the fridge (see pic) is deceptively delicious. It's got, of course, sweetened glutinous rice, sweetened pinto beans (..... crazy unique, right.... ) sauced with coconut milk. It's not too sweet and it just goes down easy during a hot and muggy day.
===== Conclusion, it's yummy, it's authentic banh mi, it doesn't require one to drive to Eden Center/7 Corners in Falls Church. Yea, I'm going back over and over and over and over ........ because no one else offers authentic banh mi (with pate and utterless delicious headcheese cold cuts) that I know of within ~20 square miles.
