"A Georgetown favorite that moved across the Potomac River into new Ballston digs, this Vietnamese spot serves expert takes on its between-a-baguette namesake stuffed with the likes of barbecue pork belly, tofu, shrimp, and more, and also offers pho, spring rolls, and other family recipes that don't break the bank (a banh mi runs around $9). All beef and chicken dishes are halal, which is noted as ideal for Arlington residents observing Ramadan, and the newcomer backfills a lunchtime void in the space most recently occupied by Lee’s Sandwiches." - Tierney Plumb
