2011-08-19 13:05:47   Update: they're doing a "test opening" today, handing out free banh mi sandwiches and rice bowls. Real opening is 8/22/11, I think? —ToddGreen

2011-08-26 15:42:31   A Vietnamese sandwich for six bucks is a little much, especially since you get a small one with very little meat. Quality was similar to that of Sunrise's on a mediocre day. Would only eat here if I am feeling really lazy. —hankim

They might have been rushing on opening day, but serving chewy pinkish chicken breast is a bit disconcerting. Try Sunrise for a more reasonable and tasty banh mi, and Thai Nakorn for far superior curry. —DavisFoodie

My Thai BBQ chicken was also chewy and pinkish (threw it away after a few bites). Don't know how they can undercook the breast when it is super thin, but they manage to do so. —DGriffi

2011-09-22 17:39:20   A thai/viet truck on campus!? How disappointed I am to see the prices and read about the quality. Looks like I'm still gonna have to make that schlep to Sunrise. Also surprised noodleless menu. —AndyChuck

2011-09-27 19:54:23   The chicken is actually a thigh not breast. Which can often account for the color in the thigh. —trixar
