Little Saigon Baguette Bakery (CLOSED)

This relative newcomer on the city’s banh mi scene has already won a loyal fan base for its pale golden baguettes, which are baked daily and boast a texture more tender than the standard specimen. Fillings, too, are prepared in house, adding an extra dimension of freshness to the sandwiches here. For a taste of traditional Vietnamese flavors, try the peppery, subtly sweet betel leaf beef banh mi, featuring seasoned ground beef wrapped, dolmades-like, in an aromatic leaf and grilled.
