Bánh Mì Annie

The lemongrass pork banh mi is really good! The meat is well-​seasoned and tastes grilled. The crusty loaf is delicious and a rare bread that I deem worth the carbs!
I had my sandwich with daikon, carrots and cilantro and added the fresh jalapeño pepper. Passed on the cucumber. I think there is some mayo/​sauce on the sandwich, but it is applied very minimally and righfully so as the flavors of all of the fresh ingredients come together wonderfully. Delicious and a good lunch deal at $ 6.
They do take credit cards!

Awesome Banh Mi! Thanks Annie!

Contrary to current FTF profiling, they accept credit cards and offer an option of emailed receipt. @BanhMiAnnie is less of a food truck then a mini food trailer: just enough room inside for two people in straitjackets to pirhouette. The bank of prepped sandwich ingredients folds in behind the assembly counter, and the spring rolls and cha loaves are arranged under a heat lamp in the back corner.
Coworker had no complaints about his small crispy spring roll ($ 1) with the shrimp tail sticking out. The accompanying sweet and sour sauce was basic and mild. Annie was happy to offer him a small bag for his noms.
I would have appreciated it if the 10″ of crusty sandwich ($ 6) had been halved for me, though it would require larger sheets of wax paper per rubber band. Trying to keep the bountiful ingredients from spilling out was a juggle. The sandwich vegetables were all fresh, and included daikon, carrots, cucumber, and cilantro. The pickling of the former two was very light. The garlic mayo was mild and applied to the bread in moderation. I accepted the proffered jalapeño option, which were sliced lengthwise like the cukes. Lemongrass on the pork was very aggressive– the flavor of the protein diminished in the face of its herbaciousness. I much preferred my original banh mi, which included cha (I laughed when she called it «Vietnamese bologna»), pâté, and nicely textural cold cuts.
The taste of the Vietnamese iced coffee ($ 4) seemed similarly dialed down for American palates: less sweetness and intensity than what I’m used to in a restaurant setting. Honey lemon tea ($ 2.50) was hot and very comforting, noticeable amount of pith and pulp at the bottom. I’ll have to give the Thai tea ($ 4) a whirl. Eden Center regulars may cry foul for value or quality reasons, but this hit the spot well enough. I’m pleased to have them tooling around the draught that is the MoCo Viet scene.

Second visit: lemongrass pork is more balanced. The summer rolls ($ 4 for a pair) that were gone by 1 pm the first time are bigger and fresher than at Rice Paddies, though shrimp only in terms of protein. Dipping sauce didn’t have peanut chunks but was still very flavorful– would get these again. Ginger tea was excellent, not too sweet! I tried the bulgogi banh mi on special ($ 8) and while decent, wished it was a bit meatier and flavorful.
