This place is awesome, the pork banh mi is to die for. You will be asked if you want it spicy, I recommend YES! Go with spicy, it's delicious. It isn't too hot, just a nice tingle on the tongue that rounds out the taste...experience.
Banh mi is a really interesting dish that is like no other sandwich but damn so delicious. It's not like other asian foods that I find are fiddly and unsatisfying. A single banh mi sandwich will fill you up! I swear I could eat these for lunch the rest of my life and never get bored! This is one of those businesses that I hope will stick around for a long time.
The only downside to this place is that the hours are a little unpredictable and they tend to close early. I really wish they'd open later as I tend to want to eat late, but they usually close at around 8pm. Come early to avoid disappointment, and call ahead to make sure they know you're coming so they don't close early. Unfortunately Richmond row can get really quiet in the evenings so many store owners just give up and close for the night and banh mi express is no exception to this.More
