Banh Mi House – South Rainbow Boulevard

Banh Mi House opens at 8 and closes in the afternoon. The Đặc Biệt, or Saigon Special, is the classic, with house pâté, mayo and three Vietnamese cold cuts. From there it goes to grilled lemongrass chicken, honey-garlic grilled pork, five-spice BBQ pork, lemongrass beef with extra pâté, heo quay (crackling roast pork belly), and the Bánh Mì Muối Ớt, with chili salt, scallion oil and pork floss. Most come with pickled daikon and carrot, cucumber, cilantro and jalapeño. Southwest Shadow's reporter went for the Saigon Special and a Vietnamese iced coffee.

Walk in and order, or order ahead for pickup online through the link on its site. Whole roast pork for parties is by phone. It's open Monday to Saturday 8 to 4 and Sunday 8 to 3.
