No-frills, cash-only Vietnamese eatery for banh mi sandwiches along with spring rolls & baked goods.
"This Saigon-inspired restaurant has been a Houston fixture for almost 40 years, and in that time, they’ve perfected their massive cups of Vietnamese iced coffee. Don’t forget to snag a budget-friendly banh mi for lunch later, or an impromptu snack to pair with the caffeine." - Christina Autry
"My go-to lunch near downtown involves a stellar egg bánh mì from Les Givral’s. The hosts warn me against ordering runny yolks every time, but I do anyway and always end up splattered. It’s a neighborhood staple, cheap eats for the local set, and the sandwiches attract some of the inner loop’s biggest lunch crowds. The baguettes are transcendent. The pork is succulent. They’ve found the perfect algorithm for balancing cilantro and carrots, with just enough spice in the mix to make you wince." - ByBryan Washington
