I see a lot of bad reviews about sandwiches which I've never tried. Pho is all I order because the noodles are the BEST in town. They are thick & sticky, everywhere else is so thin. They really nail their flavour of pho & I love that they have a filet mignon beef too. EDIT: They changed the thick noodles to thin 😢 such a loss..
My craving for a savory Banh Mì sandwich led me to the doors of Banh Mì 79, conveniently located in a bustling yet accessible part of the town. The ease of finding a parking spot set a positive tone for the experience ahead.
The interior of the restaurant exudes a subtle charm, with a warm & inviting ambiance complimented by the courtesy of the staff. My order, a spicy lemongrass beef Banh Mì, was delivered with efficiency, & its size hinted at a satisfying meal. The first bite into the warm, crispy, yet soft bun set the stage for high expectations.
However, the unfolding experience did not fully align with the initial promise. The distinct flavor of lemongrass was absent, a notable omission that made the sandwich fall short of authenticity. The coriander, although fresh, was poorly presented, hanging untidily out of the sandwich. The toppings were sparse, & the beef was chewy, not offering the tender, succulent bite one would hope for.
The request for a spicy kick was inconsistently met; the spice was concentrated on one end of the sandwich, leaving the other bereft of the desired heat. Each bite presented a fluctuation between the contrasting worlds of spice & blandness.
In conclusion, my visit to Banh Mì 79 was a journey through highs & lows. The restaurant delivered on speed, service, & the quality of the bun, yet faltered on flavor consistency, presentation, & meat quality. The experience, although not entirely unpleasant, was ultimately unremarkable – satisfying the immediate hunger but leaving the deeper craving for a truly exceptional Banh Mì unmet.

Had a great Vietnamese sandwich, flavor overall was good, maybe a bit too salty but delicious nonetheless.
