Banh Mi Nha Trang

This shop is nestled into the far reaches of a tiny, aging plaza near the Mills 50 intersection. There are no tables save the folding plastic one, on which might find a few errant catalogs or Vietnamese newspapers. Several chairs for waiting or eating are crammed around the periphery of the miniscule standing area on the customers' side of the lunch counter. They don't take credit cards and English is most definitely the second language here. But guess what? No one cares. In fact, it's all part of the Banh Mi Nha Trang charm. That and the delicious $3.50 banh mi, of course. When the traditional Vietnamese sandwiches are this good, right down to the cheerful, "See you tomorrow!" farewell that regulars have come to expect from its charming and talented banh mi artisan, what's a little language barrier between new friends.
