La Saigon (East Coast)

𝐁𝐞𝐞𝐟 𝐩𝐡𝐨 (3.5⭐️; $22) - One of the pricier renditions around but justified by the generous portion of tender beef ribeye. The broth was clean while retaining hearty bold flavour.

𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐝𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐁𝐚𝐧𝐡 𝐦𝐢 ($15/2 petite) - First time trying sourdough rendition and it added a tangy savory depth to the usual baguette. Airy and crispy, and loaded with delicious fillings. Would recommend the Krabby (4.2⭐️) rendition with crunchy soft shell crab, kombucha pickles, siracha chili. Signature pork (4⭐️) was more classic with crispy pork belly.

The Bulgogi Beef Banh Mi is packed filled with caramelised bulgogi meat and creamy mayo. The meat was tender with a sweet and savory sauce, and a fresh crunch from the sliced cumumber, tangy pickled vegetables and fragrant cilantro. This was a more hearty and savory banh mi as compared to others.

When a scone crumbles easily upon being forked, you’d be skeptical about it; truly the one here was a tad dry.
But the viet drip coffee and sourdough Banh Mi on Burpplebeyond would keep me coming back.

Ordered 2 sourdough banh mis- Grilled egg and lemongrass chicken. They were served warm with some fresh pickled veggies. Super yummy and perfect as breakfast/snack! Thoroughly enjoyed my white drip coffee (iced) too- so gao (thick) and fragrant 😄Very value for money with Burpple Beyond 1-1!

This understated cozy joint serves amazing sourdough banh mi which is baked fresh in house , amazing pho , and amazing dry noodles . But the highlight is the Vietnamese drip coffee
