With a seeming cult following of its own, Huynh Hoa masses a sizable queue the moment it rolls out for the day; which also means the staff aren’t all that friendly and you’ve gotta deal with their “ugh tourists” expressions. Their bahn mi is significantly larger than Hong Hoa’s (longer baguette and stuffed to the brim with cold-cut meats), and there’s only one option on the menu so you really don’t have much to think about. Crusty baguette: tick, though I found it a tad harder than Hong Hoa’s. Crunchy veggies and chilli: tick, and note the kick from the chilli’s a lot more aggressive. Meats: tick, a mountain of mixed cold cuts that classic bahn mi enthusiasts would enjoy. At almost double the price of Hong Hoa’s, I gotta say it’s definitely well worth your buck for the generous layers of meats piled on. My only reserve is I’m not the biggest fan of that gelatinous sliced cold-cut, and that they’re moving at such an automated pace you can’t really ask them to kindly remove “neh that one I don’t like”.
