Honest verdict on Banh Mi — good but not exceptional

Banh Mi here was solidly made — subtly sweet and spiced without anything to complain about. fish sauce was present and handled reasonably. But something was missing from the depth that this dish should have.

fresh herbs added at the table are a defining characteristic. The a street banh mi counter atmosphere was pleasant enough. Vietnamese iced coffee was available and a good suggestion. For a reliable version of Banh Mi this works. For an exceptional one, I'd keep looking. Three stars.
