Dinosaurs Sandwiches

Good banh mi and watermelon slush! A bit on the expensive side, but all the banh mi places are in tenderloin otherwise, so I'll take it. The special was quite special and quite yummy. No complaints there. The slush was also godsend on the hot day I visited. Quick service. Bit of a lack in seating so plan to grab the sandwich and head to a nearby park.

I love Dinosaurs - the people here are really nice, and the food is always good. Yes, you can get a cheaper banh mi elsewhere in the city. But I think the sandwiches here are still a deal, I'm a small person and 1 sandwich is often enough for 2 meals for me. I appreciate that they price so that they can take care of their own people. The food is always fresh and good quality.

Best quality banh mi in the area! Bread is warm and crusty. Pork was high quality. Delish! It's more expensive than it was a few years ago, but I blame high commerical rent and not enough housing for that. We need more housing density!

A banh mi here will cost you $15. My first thought when biting into the sandwich was that it didn’t have much flavor and was quite dry. Lots of vegetables such as carrots, cilantro, and jalapeños on the sandwich I appreciated but I couldn’t even tell they were pickled. The bread was borderline too hard. Parking to get the sandwich around here was easy, and it was a quick in and out- so good if you are hungry and in the area, but I wouldn’t go out of your way for it.

I've been a loyal customer here for years and have always loved their bánh mìs. My go-tos are the grilled pork and chicken, and they've been reliably delicious. At around $15 a sandwich these days, the price is completely understandable given the current cost of everything. Unfortunately, today's experience was the last straw. I called ahead to place a pickup order and specifically requested the veggies on the side for both sandwiches. I even explained to the staff that I planned to eat later and didn't want them to get soggy. I was told 15 minutes, and I arrived right on time. When I picked up my order, the veggies were already in the sandwiches — with additional veggies wrapped on the side. When I brought this up with a staff member and explained that I had asked for the veggies on the side for both sandwiches, she confidently insisted that I had said "EXTRA veggies on the side" — and then walked away. I didn't want to escalate it; not the end of the world. But I was caught off guard by the dismissiveness. What really pushed me over the edge was the Vietnamese iced coffee I'd ordered alongside my meal — it was completely watered down. Two strikes in one visit. I understand that prices go up. What I can't get past is the drop in the consistency and quality of service that kept me coming back for years. Sadly, it's no longer worth it for me.
