Granted $5 for a sandwich or $8 for a soup isn't that much, but it feels like an insult when you're able to get a fresher, better tasting product elsewhere at nearly half the price. It's a shame these Broolyn-mese owners didn't give back to the borough something as amazingly tasty (and cheap) as the offerings in Sunset Park. Put it this way, if Banh Mi (or An Nhau) were located anywhere other than Williamsburg where the Vietnamese food options are slim (aside from Nha Toi - which is better, but perhaps slightly overrated itself) they would be out of business in a matter of months. I'm not saying I won't (begrudgingly) eat here in a pinch, I just kinda think it's a shame they seem to be half-assing it when they clearly have such a captive audience.

Just a little weird. I dunno, you’re entitled to your comments, however, it’s kinda tacky for you to start promoting another restaurant (in the way that you did) IMHO. Just a little weird.

Not shitty viet food masquerading as good because it's new. Don't be confused. The food was bad. If that makes me a hater... I guess i hate bad food. Nha Toi serves GOOD FOOD and he's never been out of bread the 3 days of the week I go there. ummm…. not haters. lovers of good viet food. Not shitty viet food masquerading as good because it’s new.

I live around the corner and had to try it. I give them six months before they're out. Disgrace to vietnamese food. Cheers to the Nha toi shout out.. It's the only place to eat vietnamese in the hood. This place is absolutely the worst. I live around the corner and had to try it. I give them six months before they’re out.

For better ingredients, more personal service, a welcoming environment and awesome movies projected all day long -- HEAD TO NHA TOI on Havemeyer and S.2nd (i'm completely non affiliated with his biz, but i am a regular customer and want to support Fred, cuz he's the man!!!)
