having been eyeing on this newly discovered vietnamese place, aptly

named Banh Mi, we decided to give it a try.

as some yelp reviews show already (wish i'd read it before we tried),

this place was an overpriced disaster of mediocracy.

the shrimp spring rolls weren't bad, but the catfish bún was totally

tasteless if eaten without the fish (even with the teeny side of fish sauce

and copious addition of sriracha & plum sauce), and noodles were mushy

& overcooked.

the lemongrass chicken banh mi, which i didn't try, was said to be

using the wrong bread (not the rice flour kind that banh mis usually

use) and tasted stale and old.

too bad, because the menu sounded promising and different than some

other vietnamese places around brooklyn.

we had to get some dessert to cleanse our palate, so we rode our bikes

over to vamos al tequila for their yummy key lime pie & coffee :
