"You can’t go wrong with any of the sandwiches at Oakland’s top banh mi shop, where the high quality of the food is matched only by the brisk, unsentimental efficiency of the service. But the signature offering is the meatball-and-egg banh mi: one of the shop’s crisp baguettes filled with juicy, savory chunks of ground pork and a fried egg (with a slightly runny yolk, if you’re lucky) — ideal counterpoints to the sweetness of the pickled carrots and daikon and the heat of the sliced jalapenos." - Luke Tsai
