"My Endless Quest to Find the Best Bánh Mì"
I'm a 6-foot-tall Korean who grew up in Japan. The first time I ever tried Bánh Mì in my life was back in 2001 in Westminster when the first-ever Lee's Sandwich store opened. Back then, for $2.50 per sandwich made with a baguette, I thought to myself, "Who would ever choose Subway over Bánh Mì?"
Time has passed, and it's now 2024. I have tried many popular Bánh Mì places such as Carrot & Daikon, Bánh Mì Che Cali, and so on. I have even traveled to Hanoi, Vietnam, and tried the touristy but well-known Bánh Mì 25. My standard for Bánh Mì has reached level 99. Lee's Sandwich is no longer my option as they charge $9 for something that doesn't look nor taste like Bánh Mì.
In this world infected with "Corona Inflation", I came across the best-value Bánh Mì in Westminster, the THH Sandwiches Westminster location.
It may have been the time of the day I visited, but I got the Bánh Mì with fresh baguette and overflowing ingredients at $6.25! (Check out the video I posted.)
I got the House Special Sandwich and Grilled Pork Sandwich.
I'll give the House Special Sandwich a 9/10. Despite the appearance of cold cuts that look dry from its first impression, the sandwich was crispy, fluffy, meaty, crunchy, and creamy all in one single bite.
The Grilled Pork Sandwich seems to be many Yelpers' favorite, but I found my Grilled Pork a bit too salty for my taste, so 7.5/10. Perhaps I should try adding fried egg and other extras next time to balance the flavor.
Came here during less busy weekday so service was quick, and the young lady who helped me was super nice and asked me if I wanted my sandwich to be cut in half. 10/10
I wished I had known about THH back when their sandwich was $3, but $6.25 for a fully stuffed delicious Bánh Mì is a steal, and I'll definitely be coming back here for more.
