Downtown Banh Mi
The old D’Leon’s in downtown will now become a banh mi place in the near future. Folks who like Vietnamese cuisine or who are used to Banh Mi places in Southern California and other such areas will be excited.
You can already find pre-made banh mi in the Little Saigon market and other Vietnamese groceries in town. It will be interesting to see if freshly made banh mi will be received well by the downtown lunch crowd or students from the U. They’ll have to keep the prices cheap and the bread and ingredients very fresh in order to do well in what is obviously a very competitive market, especially since many downtowners will probably have no idea what a Vietnamese sandwich even IS.
Regardless, good luck!
