"Use your spare bucks at this cash-only Vietnamese spot located just steps away from Hoover High the next time you’re wanting crispy chả giò (egg rolls). Other notable takeout options include bánh mì (the favorite is bánh mì thịt nguội with cold cuts, pate, and thinly sliced vegetables), rice vermicelli noodles, and filling rice plates. The sandwiches are particularly large and shareable, which make their $12 price-point all the more reasonable." - Roxana Becerril, Candice Woo
