So, the last few times I've gone to 9n9, I was told "no sandwiches" I guess they've taken the banh mi off the menu. Do you guys know any restaurants in the area that have banh mi or make a good pho dac biet?
could you describe this sandwich. I spent 2 months in Vietnam and never did see anybody eating anything which I would define as a sandwich. Many thanks.
Just this man's opinion,. but I thought the banh mi at Pho9n9 was not very good. The fillings were OK, but the bread was off.
The key to the sandwich is the bread; a French style baguette made with some rice flour for lightness. Still crusty and chewy, but light. Fillings are some sort of roasted/grilled meat, sometimes a pate or a terrine, a dressing, a slaw of pickled daikon, carrots and possibly jalapenos, and cilantro.
I'm looking for a good one too, haven't found it yet.
Can't help you with Cary, but Spize Cafe in downtown Raleigh serves a banh mi style sandwich that is awesome. Look for the pork "baguette." I was less enthused with Buku's version.
