On a Roll

They said Bank Mi, Rice and noodles and curry can be made vegan with tofu and vegetables. Their tofu has very unique texture, a little spongy/springy like egg whites or something, nothing wrong, it tasted good, maybe it’s homemade? But beware, their tofu is spicy (covered in spices or marinated?) My only wish they did better job with wrapping and packing, ask for it if you want to split it. They don’t by default cut in half and when asked to cut in half they didn’t cut the wrapped sandwich with the paper so when I opened the paper the whole sandwich fell apart making it difficult to eat it.

The average 4.5 stars is exactly right. An unassuming store front, competent food, somewhat short on attendant eating accoutrement (like forks and spoons, not just chopsticks, plus napkins.) Best was the coconut chicken curry, which had perfect flavoring on reasonable mix of tender chicken and veggies, on rice. Couldn't stop eating it. Chicken Pad Thai, on the other hand, was a bit short on everything: not enough peanut flavors in the sauce, non-existent veggies, and slightly too-sweet sauce made a sub-par experience. The shrimp egg roll was different: a cocktail shrimp w tail on, dipped in batter, then deep fried to make it look like an "eggroll" finish. Overall, deserving of 4.5 stars, but I'm opting for 4 bc the price was a tad more than what I think is fair. Ample heated outdoor seating.

Probably the best bahn mi sandwich I’ve ever had. A large roll packed with pickled vegetables and meat. I initially thought it might be too small from the picture, but mostly was I wrong. I finished it and was stuffed! The Vietnamese iced coffee was of the hook as well. Well worth a try.

This is for Pad Thai only, did not have anything else but the Thai Tea which was just your average tea. I was encouraged by the glowing review from someone about the Pad Thai but here's my take. To start let's establish the fact that it is not bad, I wouldn't discourage anyone from ordering it but be prepared to let them know how spicy you want it, or if you don't want it spicy. I've been eating spicy food all my life so it doesn't bother me but we were not prepared for how spicy it would be, no one even asked us so we assumed it would be non spicy like every restaurant we've had it at. My wifey doesn't really like spicy food so it was not enjoyable at all for her. If you don't eat spicy food don't forget to tell them or else you're going to be sad. Besides that it was good enough, I don't like the wide noodles but that's a personal preference. It has some kind of fishcake in lieu of tofu maybe it's a Vietnamese fishcake? Interesting. I'm snacking on the leftovers as I write this at 1am so there's definitely something I like about it, almost like a different dish, like if a cook from another SE country made it...hmm wonder why... ;)

I ordered from this establishment online and they exceeded my expectations on more than 1 occasion. Huge portions for the price, and absolutely delicious every time. I spent under $50 including delivery fee and tip for all of this food. I spend more at Jack In The Box for shit food! Worth it!!!
