I went there shortly after it opened. Seems like a nice addition to White Plains. Place is small, clean and obviously new. More for takeout than eating in. There was a counter with a few stools. Very simple décor. They say delivery will be an option in the future. Seems like a family run business. Older man doing the cooking and a young woman and man taking and packing the orders.
Now for the food. I ordered spring rolls, original banh mi sandwich with extra meat and spicy mayo, and noodle bowl with marinated sliced pork. On the way home my car was filled with the scent of cilantro. Yum!
I was somewhat disappointed with the spring rolls as they only contained meat, no vegetables as I am accustomed to with other Asian cuisines.
Having never had a banh mi sandwich before I can only give my opinion. The meat, pork and ham, were pressed like deli meat. The sandwich had cucumber, cilantro, shredded cabbage salad and spicy mayo. I thought it was very good with the combination of flavors.
The noodle bowl was huge, loads of meat and noodles. The marinated pork was outstanding. Very flavorful and juicy. I wasn’t crazy about the noodles; the sauce that came with it was kind of bland and did nothing for the noodles. Perhaps that’s the way Vietnamese noodles are. I remember years ago I had a similar dish at Saigonese and felt the same way.
Overall I am looking forward to going back and choosing other items including their bubble tea.
