Almost 7 years ago, served its first pork belly banh oui and 7 years later, it’s still the most popular menu item ordered daily!
I may never tire of eating this incredible sandwich because the natural fattiness of the pork is evenly matched by the strong vinegar of the pickled carrot and daikon. Unlike traditional banh mi, our carrot and daikon pickles are more tart because my palate favors acid and salt to sugar.
Instead the natural sweetness from the carrot, fresh mint and slightly sweet and spicy pickled Fresno chili aid in creating balance to what I consider one of the best bites in the sandwich world!
Banh mi is Queen in my humble opinion. Crunchy, light, salty, tart, sweet, bright, spicy, fresh, aromatic, fatty and colorful.
My kind of sandwich.
