Banh Mi DC Sandwich

You won't find a better combination of Cheap and Delicious in the Area We recently went to this Banh Mi place because, duh, it is just around the corner from where I live. I would say this food is a solid 4 star. However, the reason I give it a 5 is because it is a wonderful thing for such good food to be so cheap and accessible to anyone in the area. Northern Virginia is expensive. But, if you can afford a McDonald's meal you can afford this. I think you have to get the combo sandwich in order to get the full on Banh Mi experience. The combo includes like the headcheese type meat and the pork. The flavors really pop here. When you walk into the place you will be smacked in the face with the perfume of french bread. When you get your sandwich (only minutes after you order) you will see it has generous meat and the the oh so important dressing of jalepeno and cucumber and sauce etc. The chewy french bread, savory meat, and refreshing yet hot toppings make this sandwich so great. And, it is well-done here. I also suggest getting a iced coffee. The coffee itself is so strong you need the condensed milk and sugar. That drink is a fast infusion of caffeine. I recommend. If the paycheck hasn't come for the week, treat yourself here. It is good.

So good. My favorite is the BBQ pork sandwich. The filling is delicious but it's really the perfect crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside rolls that make the sandwich. At less than $5, you can't go wrong. According to sign, cash and debit preferred, paying with credit will incur a fee.

Pretty quick in and out sandwiches place. They do have some other "street food" too. Usually busy. Tastes seemed consistent compared to before. Good tastes in general (quite a few choices)

Very disappointing. Had the tofu Banh Mi. The bread was very good. The sauce was marginally passable, not very flavorful, and toppings were fine. But the tofu used was of the cheap commercial fried cube-shaped variety, devoid of flavor or texture, not the 'fake meat' tofu used by other shops. I had been here many years ago and remembered the sandwich as much better. Also, they up charge for credit cards, which I believe is against the card companies' policy. Even if not, it's a sketchy, irritating practice at best. Probably will not be back.

delicious sandwiches. most of the options are $4.20/sandwich and buy 5 get 1 free. You can buy multiple with the pickled veggies in a separate bag so you can keep them throughout the week without getting soggy. Wonderful and super cheap!
