Can't wait for everyone to chime in and expose Banh Mi as the industrial-bread nasty-filling FAD that it is. Not much to like about it, quite honestly, other than the opportunity to immerse yourself - for a brief, fleeting moment - in the snack culture of Vietnamese-Americans. Low, low quality bread, meat, and vegetables - sorry, but that's what it is.
Cheers,
Rocks.

I had been a fan of the Song Que’s number 6 Banh Mi. The baguette is acceptable and I love the pickled vegetables. However, they have changed the chicken. It used to be BBQed, and had a terrific, strong character and helped balance the raw jalapeño (IMO). Now the chicken is nondescript and the sandwich is much less interesting.
