The bread was a little too crispy for my taste, but the rest of the sandwich was delicious.

This was my first time making banh mi and it was so easy! The instructions were clear and the ingredients were easy to find.

I followed the recipe exactly and the banh mi turned out great! The only thing I would change is to add a little more sriracha for a bit more spice.

This banh mi was a hit with my family! The flavors were so well-balanced and the bread was perfectly crispy. I'll definitely be making this again.
