On this visit I ordered the rainbow salad with chicken and avocado, and the garlic fries. The salad came with dressing, but the pickled carrots were so flavorful that it didn’t really need dressing and I ended up eating the whole thing without it. The garlic fries were like no fries I’ve ever had before. They come with grilled onions and jalapenos mixed in, which I found absolutely delightful.
I will definitely be back to try the salt and pepper fried chicken!
Not many seating spots for dine-in especially during the busy lunch hour.
They have vegan options, including as far as I can tell, the tofu bahn mi and eggplant bahn mi (substituting soy mayo).
I got the tofu bahn mi through MealPal and it appears to be the normal size, which is nice, and the sandwich itself was good.
It doesn’t seem like a traditional Vietnamese place, but I don’t have a problem with that. The sauce used was a little too sweet for my taste, partly because the carrots already add a good amount of sweetness, but the tofu was sufficiently crispy and flavorful. I also liked that the bread wasn’t too thick (it may have been hollowed out) so the tasty inside of the sandwich were more noticeable. I definitely appreciate the spice of the jalapenos, but it is something to consider if you don’t enjoy spicy food.
I have to give this four stars because Dinosaurs, which has a few locations in the city and serves similar food, just does a better tofu bahn mi in my opinion. Their tofu is shredded and fried to create a wonderful texture that is more interesting than just marinating it.
In any case, the sandwich packaging here (shown in the attached photos) was noticeably well-designed aesthetically. Too many places have succumbed to using a plain white paper or similar, so this was an added touch that made the food feel a tiny bit more premium.
This is the vegan brown rice bowl. Tasty!
