" The flavors at East Side Banh Mi are truly delightful. I had the fried chicken banh mi, and while it was tasty, I found the bread to be slightly tougher than expected. Lucky for me, the fillings were generous, and the garlic mayo helped balance it out. A limited space had me seated near the counter, but the friendliness of the staff made it all worth it. I will be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried the banh mi here, and I must say, it exceeded my expectations! The flavors were spot on, and the fresh ingredients really shone through. The atmosphere was casual yet inviting. I particularly enjoyed the garlic mayo on my pork sandwich; it added an extra kick that made it unforgettable. I will be making this a regular spot for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you love banh mi, you have to try East Side Banh Mi! I was blown away by how fresh and flavorful everything was. The perfect balance of meat, veggies, and that delightful crusty bread! I also tried their sweet potato fries which were crispy and a perfect side. The only thing I found slightly off was the seating—it can get a tad cramped during peak hours. Nevertheless, it’s worth every bite! " (*Curated Review*)

" East Side Banh Mi is definitely a must-visit. I got the pork shoulder and was blown away by how juicy it was! The staff were friendly and provided great recommendations. My only complaint was about the seating—it gets busy so it might not be the best place for large groups. Regardless, I will certainly be back to indulge in their superb flavors! " (*Curated Review*)

" East Side Banh Mi is a gem. Having tried many Vietnamese restaurants, the flavors here are among the best. The pho dipping sauce paired perfectly with my banh mi. However, I found the bread to be a bit tougher than I prefer. Still, the combination of flavors in the sandwich made it worthwhile. Don't forget to grab a drink; their lemonade is refreshing! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved my experience at East Side Banh Mi! I went for the classic pork banh mi, and it did not disappoint. The ingredients tasted super fresh, and the flavors melded together beautifully. The only minor issue was that the bread was just a tad hard at the crust, but it didn't ruin the sandwich by any means. I will definitely be recommending this place to my friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" The Vietnamese iced coffee at East Side Banh Mi is a revelation! I tried it along with my pork sandwich, which was equally delightful. Every bite of the sandwich showed how fresh the ingredients were. Even though the restaurant is a bit small and can be busy, it adds to its charm. I’ll be returning to explore the menu further without a doubt! " (*Curated Review*)
