A small mom & pop shop in a little plaza. Parking's easy to find in the spacious lot, but there are often school kids biking or milling around in the afternoons, which can be a bit chaotic while driving. Be advised that they have a strict $10 minimum for credit cards! Otherwise, there's a bit of an extra charge. I really enjoyed my grilled pork bahn mi. Having tried both beef and pork now, I'd recommend the pork more. They get a really good texture on the bread (not too hard that it cuts into your mouth), fresh and crisp pickled veggies, tasty marinated meat, and a good sauce. Interestingly, their meat marinade appears to be more of a savory soy sauce than the typical sweet BBQ flavor you'll often find at other bahn mi places. It's good, though! The portion was great, and the price was reasonable. Note that the jalapeños can really pack some heat in these sandwiches. Even after picking out the slices, you still get quite a bit of residual oil left on the sandwich. If you're sensitive to spicy, please let them know while ordering to make yours without. I can't wait to try their other offerings, as well. I'll be coming by whenever I can for lunch!

TEMPORARILY CLOSED from June 18 to early August for vacation. Wanted to give a heads up to anyone else heading out there to avoid disappointment. Looking forward to coming back in August!

Bahn mi here is excellent and worth going out of your way for however the service from the main woman here, who I assume to be the owner is truly awful. She says very rude things about the high school customers in Vietnamese. They are young and probably a bulk of the weekday customers here so patience with them is necessary. The younger woman, who I assume is her daughter, is very kind and has excellent service.
