I was looking forward to this place opening but to be honest it's pretty lackluster.

Their base sauce that they put on the bahn mi & on the bowls doesn't really work. It's too sweet. The gojujang sauce is also pretty sweet without any heat even though there's three chilies next to it. I tried a few other sauces & they really don't appeal to me.

A traditional Bahn mi has pork pate which really gives a lot more dimension, texture & flavor. I'm assuming it's because every restaurant now is halal so they're omitting an ingredient like that. The baguette they use is way too big & dense, you get a lot of really plain bites of bread. They don't really fill them up that much so you're mostly eating a big baguette. It's just a really dry sandwich that is made to be worse by the sauces because they don't really go well with that flavor combination.

The bowls are fine & you get a decent amount of food for your money. My issue are the sauces. Poulet rouge is a better option in terms of flavor & they also give you a ton of food. The proteins don't really have much flavor to it & they put a ton of sauce but I feel like that is counterintuitive because it ends up being less healthy even though this is supposed to be a healthy place.

Overall it's not a bad place but it's just so hard to get a good Bahn mi in this area of downtown.

Really enjoyed the Bahn Mi but I expected grilled pork & it was a shredded pork. It was still delicious though!
