This place was bunsik, the Korean Japanese, and you can tell they pivoted because the health and safety document still says Bunsik on it instead of Annam!
While Bunsik was a bougie, expensive Korean Japanese shop, this one seems to be a more reasonably priced Vietnamese style restaurant. They have a huge drinks menu for boba lovers (of which there are plenty, myself included), and some relatively reasonably priced food: $9 for banh mi and $16 for a bowl of pho. The decor is basically the same as before and it's pretty quiet and clean. The previous iteration of the restaurant had items that were more than $20 and I think generally more of a put-off, but the new one has prices that more match the food in this mall area. Also, very few less than $10 food options other than Dick's, and it's a nice trade-off for some fresher, healthier food.
I came here for a pork banh mi to go, and it was delicious. I was excited to see pate in it (a lot of places skip it), but also surprised to see pork floss and some yellow cream (tasty, but unfamiliar). I'm not very familiar with banh mi authenticity so I won't speak to that, but I will say I was very happy with my sandwich. At first glance I didn't think it looked like a lot of fillings, but as I ate it, I felt it was an excellent ratio.
I'll come back for pho when it's colder outside; I'm pretty excited to try it given how today's went!
