    OMG the rice wrap is amazing! Got it delivered with Uber Eats along with an equally delicious steamed pork bun.

    Wrap, vegetarian buns, iced coffee. About as big as a meal can get here. The wrap was too moist this time though :-/

    The banh mi is excellent. Also look closely for the fried chicken banh mi special. An excellent East meets West fusion.

    Came here anticipating authentic Bejan Mi, but it’s just a franchise type venue that offer a variety of sub par South East Asian take out food. Don’t get your hopes up.

    Excellent veggie Bánh mì. Tofu's a bit chunky though - not shredded.

    The Chipotle references make me cringe. This place is awesome, and they sell the obscure Beerlao! Sooooo amazing.

    Delicious! But do not use a napkin with your wrap. It will stick! :/ #fail

    Try the pork buns. They use fried pork belly. Really tasty.

    I'm super open to new foods but the white bread and sauteed mushroom combo is a failed experiment.

    Interesting idea but the ssam wrap is not executed well. The rice paper is too delicate and doesn't hold together well.
