I’m so sorry you had a bad experience. It was one of those days, the bread didn’t come in fresh. Bobby Leaf, i am willing to give you a replacement sandwich next time you at the market. I am now getting my bread from a local bakery to ensure a fresh taste.

Sorry to hear that. You havn’t tried her food recently then, because it’s quite good. The bread is softer.

I found the prices quite reasonable. Believe me, most food is very expensive. Mei’s food is quite the bargain- tastes great, good price.

When I eat her food, I am one happy person.

Quite delicious Banh Mi, I couldn’t make it better myself. Her sauces though blew me away. I love them. You have to try her curry sauce, peanut sauce, and pineapple chutney! Her sauces are now at shelton’s food market in Healdsburg. Everything was delicious, if you haven’t tried it, you’re seriously missing out.

Also, I noticed in the review that they advertise her bread as “crunchy hoagie rolls.” Stale and crunchy are not quite the same thing. I don’t like to spread bad vibes, but I don’t know how someone can proudly hand you a stale sandwich and tell you it’s the next biggest thing. Mei was quite sweet and charming, though. I wish her business the best of luck!

I couldn’t agree with you more. I tried her Banh Mi for the first time yesterday at the Farmer’s Market in Windsor. The innards were quite delicious and fresh (I had the lemongrass chicken), but the bread was stale and hard. I thought, “Is this how it’s supposed to be?!?” And the price – $7 – is so unreasonable I don’t know where to start. I grew up in the East Bay and all my peeps down there are telling me I got insanely ripped off. Banh Mi sandwiches should be in the LOW $3 range. I will also state that while the innards were delicious and fresh, there was not much chicken for the $. Grave disappointment.

Sigh.
