Reviews
The place looked clean as well. This will be my new go-to spot!
The biggest red flag for me was the hygiene. First, I found two hairs on my spring roll (they were thin, and one was partially hidden underneath). Second, when the server brought our bowls to the table, his thumb tip was soaking in the soup.
I will not return and do not recommend this place.
The dine in atmosphere is not the best, since most of the orders are for takeout. They are in the process of relocating within the same plaza to larger space, so this aspect could improve.
Walking into the restaurant, the first thing I noticed was that the air conditioning was either off, broken, or set very high. Granted it was a mild day, but it’s unusual to walk into a Phoenix establishment even on an 80° day and not feel air conditioning.
There was no one at the counter to take my order, although there was an old school bell to ding. That proved unnecessary as while I was looking at the menu board, a woman came out from the kitchen.
She didn’t seem especially thrilled to see me but maybe scowl is her neutral expression. When I said I wanted the pork bahn mi she looked at me as if she had no idea what I was talking about. Then I saw on their menu board that they actually don’t refer to it as bahn mi, but call it French bread and they serve it with chicken, pork or tofu.
I got into the local nomenclature and in a Vietnamese restaurant instead of asking for a bahn mi, I asked for the pork French bread. That seemed to check the correct boxes to get things underway.
However, when it became clear that single item was all that I was ordering, the scowler proceeded to (what can best be described as) snap at me (and I’m not that sensitive) and tell me that my order was very small. I stood my ground and decided to take my chances and just get the small bahn mi (sorry French bread).
My order was prepared in a reasonable amount of time (then again it wasn’t very busy) and when it was delivered to my table it didn’t look small at all. In fact it looked very reasonably sized, especially at a menu price of $7. It was also packed full of pork–another good sign.
On the downside, and it’s a matter of personal preference, but I like a lot of pickled daikon and carrots and jalapeno slices on my bahn mi and this one barely had a thread of daikon or carrots. Although it did have a decent amount of jalapeno slices.
My issue at that point was dare I attempt to get the attention of the snapping scowler to see if I could get some more daikon and carrots. Ultimately, I decided it best not to chance it so I went ahead and ate it as served.
The pork was very flavorful and had there been an ample serving on daikon and carrots it would have been a winner. As for other condiments, they had a hot pepper oil that was tasty but nothing special. There was also a green sauce that looked homemade but again was not that flavorful. The other provisions on the table were your usual Asian restaurant fare including the ever popular rooster sauce.
If I’m feeling brave I might go back at some point to try another bahn mi and might be so bold as to ask for extra carrots and daikon … or I might try to find one somewhere else.
