"Tony’s Bakery is a kaleidoscopic affair crammed full of all kinds of colorful products, particularly the desserts. Even the walls and windows are overrun with splashy signs, including pictures of the ten banh mi that are always available. Take note of number 7: banh mi ca xa ot, made with basa fish (a type of catfish) that’s marinated in lemongrass and chili pepper, then battered and fried. The true secret to the sandwich’s success, however, is its super-flavorful smear of garlic-chive aioli." - Jay Friedman, Eater Staff
