I just can't give four stars to a little restaurant shop! It pains me to not do so though, because this place lives up to its hype.
This little shop for the frugal spender is a piece of heaven in east Oakland. They sell Vietnamese sandwiches and little snacks of all sorts. I've been there a couple of times now and every time more and more people seem to be there. They have about six small tables for people sit-ins, where they actually have pho' noodles as well as beef stew, but a majority of their operation runs on selling sandwiches to people on the go. Parking is getting more and more limited as more foodies have discovered this place. I mean, last time I went in, some guy ordered 18 sandwiches to go, so yeah, it might take awhile on bad days.
There are 10 primary sandwiches which you can order by number, but they have added six more unorthodox sandwiches to their menu. I mean, I don't necessarily want to have a sunny-side up egg sandwich or a grilled eel sandwich, but I'm glad I know where to get one now. They have blow-up pictures for all of them so you know what you're getting.
Lastly, I'll have to say that they brew a good cup of Vietnamese coffee. It's about $2.25 ($2.50 is the price of their sandwich, but with a $5 spot, you can get a nice meal). Definitely give this place a try if you're in the area or on a budget!
