Sara's full firsthand review

I absolutely love banh mi sandwiches! It's great to finally have a banh mi restaurant not too far from Sugar Land. You dont have to drive all the way to the city, or get lost in Midtown! (Not that I dont love the city, but sometimes I get lazy to drive out there). This place is fairly new, so its ultra clean and shiny inside. The interior of the restaurant is spacious with many areas to sit. I ordered the vegetarian tofu banh mi, that came with all the fix-ins. The tofu pieces were fried and crispy. I'm not a fan of fried food, but didnt mind it too much in my sandwich. The tofu was plain and bare-naked. Most places I go to, they spike the tofu with spices or lemongrass. I didnt mind it much that the tofu was plain, I simply dashed a bit of hot sauce and soy sauce in my sandwich. I did notice that the essential mayonnaise was missing from my meal. That is what binds a Vietnamese style sandwich! I'll make sure that they put it into my meal next time. I even asked the waiter if the mayo they serve is vegetarian, and he told me that it is. So i'm not sure why they forgot to add it, but it's all good. I also tried the soft rolls with shrimp. The rolls were fresh and soft and came with a hoisin style dipping sauce. I also loved the fact that I was greeted kindly by the owner. He checked up on me often. The family that owns this cafe are courteous and caring. I'll be back soon enough to get my crispy sandwich fix!
