Today I had Saigon Sandwich for the first time - having planned to go on two occasions and instead going to Turtle Tower and Gyro King.
In any case, the place was busy and a bit chaotic, because it was operating out of a small, tight space. Fortunately, the smells were delightful and the wait built a good appetite.
Having ordered two sandwiches, the roast pork (thit) and the fanci pork with pate (cha lua), I decided to start with the roast pork sandwich. It was juicy and automatically comes with one or two slices of jalapeno, but I heard several customers asking for extra. There's a wet mayo-based sauce at the bottom which added plenty of flavor. This sauce, furthermore, was not thick the way the mayo is in a sandwich from Banh Mi Che Cali.
Getting to the fanci pork, I was surprised by a strange, yet good tasting bbq-and-mayonnaise sauce.
Overall, there was an abundant amount of meat. As such, due to both quantity and quality, the sandwiches were worth their value (approximately four dollars, give or take fifty cents).
It was a great experience.
Note that while I ordered two sandwiches today for tasting purposes, one would definitely be enough for me. 1:49PM PT
