Bánh mì and drinks

Been supporting David Lau since the days he was cooking out of his house, so it’s cool to see how far this place has come. Grabbed the BBQ pork and chicken satay bánh mì along with the fresh OJ creamsicle. The bread had that nice light crackle on the outside but stayed soft inside. BBQ pork had a slightly smoky sweetness, while the chicken satay brought a nutty, savory layer that stood out more with each bite. Pickled veggies added a clean crunch and kept everything from feeling heavy. The OJ…

Definitely in the top three sandwich spots in Sacramento. You want an explosion of flavors to coat your mouth cavity? Get the Pho Dip. Phenomenal. Absolutely PHENOMENAL. Don’t sleep on this place. It’s about to POP OFF. If I had to choose a last meal today? It’d be here.

Tired of limp Subway veggies and sandwiches that taste like regret, I wandered into this little gem near Arden Mall — and wow, what a find. The veggies were crisp, the bread perfectly crunchy, and the meat piled high like they were daring me to finish it. I even braved the Vietnamese coffee — not for the faint of heart, but absolutely worth it. Every bite was a flavor party from start to finish, and the place itself was spotless with super friendly service. Do yourself a favor: break up with…

Chicken satay and braised beef pho dip banh mi were incredible, I got a super spicy jalapeno and crunchy veggies it was awesome. The chicken satay has a delicious curry peanut flavor that isn't too sweet, super balanced with the veggies. Also, the grilled cheese is super simple but delicious, especially dipped in the pho broth! I can't wait to come back and try the other banh mi here.

ORDERED: Crispy Roast Pork Banh Mi I don't usually think of banh mi when I'm in the Arden area but I would go out of my way to come get this again! The crispy roast pork banh mi was so delicious & flavorful! The bread was fresh, light, & airy. The pork was seasoned well, crispy, & juicy. It tasted refreshing. As someone who always orders extra pate, I was sad when it didn't originally come with it but the Maggi lemongrass sauce is delicious, bold, sweet, & tangy. It complimented the banh mi…
