"The BBQ pork from this small Vietnamese cafe in the Richmond is shiny enough to double as a compact mirror. The edges are caramelized until sticky-sweet, and pair perfectly with the other usual fixings in the well-stuffed bánh mì. In other words, you need it. Now. The other fillings at the counter-service spot are also excellent, especially the sliced meatball you could cut with a plastic butter knife. And the best part? One sandwich will only run you $6.95, and it’s plenty filling and makes for a midday pick-me-up or breakfast on the move." - lani conway, ricky rodriguez, julia chen 1, patrick wong
