Banh Mi from 88 Restaurant
Affordable beauty.
You ever go on a date with a person who was just slightly out of your league? You know, the kind of person who never stains their shirt or skuffs their shoes? The entire evening you feel like you won the Christmas-Easter-Birthday lotto and when you pay the check you are even more shocked to see that the entire dinner cost less than $10 bucks.
You can get that feeling at 88 Restaurant by ordering the Banh Mi sandwich. It’s the best $2.25 (plus tax) you can spend but you have to follow my instructions carefully.
1. Go on a sunny day.
2. The tofu sandwich was good but the barbecue pork was better. Order it to go
3. Drive to the beach.
4. Sit on the beach and look at the water and realize how perfect your life is.
Don’t break the law and pick up a can of Sophia sparkling wine to have with said sandwich on the beach. That would be bad.
My only complaints about 88 Restaurant are these:
-They have adapted to occidental tastes and will leave the jalepeno peppers out unless you ask for them.
– It’s a family shop, which means that sometimes, the children of the owners wait tables with the care of a child who doesn’t want to do their chores and other times the kids are behind the counter sneezing.
