“ This corner shop is awesome - the banh mi's are delicious. Lunch hot plates are super affordable, you can get a very filling (and delicious!) meal for $5. Of course, you can get some of your necessities here as well. They also have sno-balls which I have yet to try. ”

“ The banh mi is fire no cap like it's the best highly recommend. Also the hot sausage is amazing eat one of those and your life will change like it's sick. ”
“ I love how there is a hot plates selection every day during lunch hours. There's red bean Monday's, cabbage Tuesday's, meatball & spaghettie Wednesday's, meat loaf & mashed potato Thursday's, and macaroni & fried fish Friday's. Also, their poboys are awesome. They range from burgers, hot sausage, roast beef, philly cheese, to Vietnamese banh mi sandwiches. definitely will be back! ”
“ This scruffy convenience store has delicious banh mi sandwiches. They really nail the bread, which is key. And the flavors of the meats and pickled veggies and cilantro are just right. The proprietor is very friendly. I was lucky to be staying nearby, which is the only reason I tried it. ”
