having an unusually (& insanely) early morning appointment in borough park/bensonhurst,

we found ourselves eating banh mi's at 8:20am at thanh da in sunset park.

they prided themselves on being super clean (washed cilantros, etc), and you could taste the

cleanness - very light on mayo, crisp & fresh tasting pickles & herbs, and the bread was perfectly

crispy/toasty on the outside and chewy and soft on the inside. we got the classic and a roasted pork - both of them being so excellent.

we stopped by for some egg tart (not our first of the day) to bring home, which ended up being

a great afternoon snack in the studio :
