Sandwiches are incredible. My favorite is the Roast Pork Banh mi. Would have posted a photo but demolished the sandwich. Everything is fresh. The parking lot is fast and furious. Coffee is great espresso with condensed milk DELICIOUS.. Cash only Easier, if you speak Vietnamese..

Only review braised beef. The bread and braised beef are delicious.
Spacious parking.
Prices are not cheap.

This food shop is not competitive compared to other nearby Vietnamese food shops.
Some food items are overpriced.
For example, a tiny portion of Vietnamese bean pudding (che dau) was almost double the price compared to other shops.
Banh mi was sold at the same price, but it has much less meat and vegetables, and the pork was full of fat. This was my first time to the shop so I gave it a try and bought quite a few different food items.
I noticed some red flags when I first came to the store but I decided to give them a benefits of doubt.
For instance, even though it has a better parking area, better location, bigger store, and looks good inside, it has significantly fewer customers than a nearby shop where people often have to wait in a long line at the checkout.
There were other red flags as well, but it is too long for me to say it here. After giving it a try, I feel like I just wasted my money.
I don't think I will come back again.
I prefer the other stores.
