604: Banh Mi Saigon (Vancouver)

Ever since I had that Banh Mi at @lepetitsaigonhk in Hk, I was determined to find a similar Banh Mi in Vancouver. I mean it can't be hard since we really have a lot of authentic everything here. I tried out this special sub at Banh Mi Saigon today, and boy, just look at the line!

My friend also swore by it too. $6 for nearly a foot long Bahn Mi. 😳 soo reasonably priced, but I think the filling is really lacking 🧐 Extremely lacking.

The bread was also really crusty and sharp which end up stabbing my gum several times...

In conclusion, their Banh Mi is cheap but they are skimpy on the filling and their sub was overly toasted. I felt like I just ate a baguette with some mildly pickled vegetables and cilantros, with a few sad pieces of thin layered cold cuts and a hardly noticeable pate spread. Perhaps it's cheaper than the average Banh Mi out there, but when you do the math, you're really not getting any value out of it.

I would consider giving it another try when I discovered that they provide the option to add more meat, but considering how hard the bread was, I don't even think it's worth giving it a second shot.
