2. Banh mi from Saigon Sandwiches
SFoodie remembers when Saigon Sandwiches' banh mi cost $1.65, because we are old. Now they're still less than $3, which means you can eat a sandwich and a soda for $5, Happy Meal prices. Even at twice or three times the cost, we'd eat banh mi as often as we can find them, never tiring of the crisp, warm bread, the caramelized marinade on the grilled pork, and the bright crunch of the pickled vegetables and cilantro sprigs. Saigon Sandwiches' most filling banh mi happens to be our our favorite: rich, fatty xiu mai (meatballs).
