Chicken sandwiches

On the traditional side, they serve Banh Mi, Vietnamese coffee, milk tea, smoothies, and more.

On the innovative side, uniquely, are their signature Banh Mi Bites for which the restaurant is named.

Pork sandwiches

It is an open-face sliced Banh Mi glazed with their special sauce and toasted to perfection. It is served with their signature papaya pickle and your choice of bacon or pepperoni to sprinkle on top.

"We don't use daikon in our pickle like other Vietnamese restaurants that serve Banh Mi," says owner Bao Dinh. 

"Instead, we use green papaya in the pickle for its crunchiness and health benefits." He adds, "The pickle papaya is not strong in odor like pickle daikon."
