I love Vietnamese Spring Rolls and Banh Mi Sandwiches. When I saw there was a place near home that sells pretty much just those items, we had to try it. The No Name BBQ Sandwich is a no frills and very simple place with a very limited menu. Aside from the Sandwiches and Spring Rolls the only thing you can get here is Shave Ice. The staff is very friendly and 100% Vietnamese. They came to our table to ask if we liked the food and one of the cooks came out to apologize for a brief delay because she was filling a takeout order. She asked us our names and thanked us for eating here.
While we did have a little wait, it was not extreme. We started with the Spring Rolls ($7.99) which were piping hot and served with Lettuce, Noodles, Basil, Pickled Vegetables and Hot Sauce. We wrapped the Spring Rolls in the Lettuce and added the other items to make a little burrito. I liked the Spring Rolls but my Wife said they were nothing special. Next up we tried the BBQ Beef Sandwich ($7.99). First off we loved the bread. The Beef was delicious and the Pickles put this sandwich over the top. Loved it. The Vietnamese Sandwich ($7.99) was the one we were really waiting for. We loved the Pate but it was only on the end of the sandwich so you did not get the flavor in every bite. The only thing missing to make this sandwich really great is to MORE pickled vegetables. This is something we both wished were in the sandwich. While I wanted this to be my favorite Vietnamese Banh Mi, it missed the mark by a bit. Would still prefer the Bale Special Sandwich.
