Saigon Sandwich

San Francisco, CA

Its funny that in the past few years Banh Mi has become such a beloved item because its been around forever.  One of the most highly regarded Vietnamese sandwich shops in the city is Saigon sandwiches. They have an interesting ordering system, where it is done in bunches and if you're not in that bunch, you have to wait until all the sandwiches are made and you can put in your order. Luckily, I only waited about five minutes to put in my order and since I was first on the new bunch, my two sandwiches were done fairly quickly.

Pork Meatball Banh Mi 

We ordered one roast pork Banh Mi and one port meatball Banh Mi. The verdict? Well, it was a perfectly fine Banh Mi, but not sure its worth the extra wait or inconvenient location in the Tenderloin to go to. There was nothing quite spectacular or unique about it, and honestly I prefer Huong Lan Sandwiches in South Sacramento for a superior specimen.
