The best Bahn Mi I have had in Vietnam. The lady & daughter super lovely and helpful with a big smile.
Best experience, delicious food the staff is friendly, and could offer you fully vegan options, the coconut water is awesome here!❤️ Crispy, chunky ane full of vegetables 😺
We were on dire straights walking from one closed vegetarian restaurant to another. But it was a blessing in disguise because we landed at this spot and LOVED IT. Really tasy banh mi with great bread, some kind of magical sauteed mushroom spread. Great selection of fresh juices as well. I'd go back in a heartbeat!
really good and fresh Banh Mi. She prepared everything fresh after we ordered snd served us some iced water in the meantime. You can scan a QR-Code to pay. Loved the mushroom paste!!! Definitely a must try
