Saigon Deli Banh mi review

Earlier today I went to a new Banh Minh place, the Saigon Deli on South Jackson to try their sandwiches. I know for a fact theirs are the cheapest tofu sandwiches available in town and wanted to understand what the big deal was. They're priced at 5.50 and are pretty filling. I ended up paying $7 in cash because reasons...It was the first time, so I wanted to be extra generous. The prices though, they're still from the 'golden age' of sandwich pricing, and you know what the 5.99 footlong era is over, but the affordable banh mihs can still be had yum yum. So much better than subway it's not even a loong long faraway competition.

Yes, the place lies on a slightly more sketchy intersection than the other viet banh mi place I've been going to. But it's better in other ways: it's got way more options on desserts, refrigerated cakes and other viet products, if I knew what half of them I'd be a very content fat boy. The sandwich itself was as good as any other place, couldn't find a distinctness, or any compromise for the price.

I will probably go there many more times for their sandwiches but also to buy their desserts, baked goods and other items. Their lunch deals are extraordinarily affordable too, so if I want a quick takeout without bothering with Sichuanese Cuisine, this will be my go-to place!
