The sandwich comes to me, very plain Jane. Lettuce, Tomatoes and Onions . I go back to the counter, how about some Mayo? Pickles? And also, some of those spicy peppers. There ya go, get excited about my lunch. The inside, it looked like the lunch crowd came and left. It was a little messy on a few tables, I cleaned one down for myself. I do have to say I crafted a bangin sandwich. The turkey was moist, a little heavy on the onion but I think I created a new sandwich called the Bill S New York approved sandwich. The length varies

Balboa Steaks

Best cheesesteak I ever had. Wow…read more It's clean and the people are friendly. It was a stopover for me, happy it is morning my area as I would end up eating more of these.

Balboa Steaks - Chicken Cheesesteak (10/10)…read more I've always said Balboa has my favorite cheesesteaks, but after ordering their chicken cheesesteak for the second time, I'm ready to say something I never thought I'd say... This is the best sandwich I've ever eaten. Seriously. I've had great meatball subs, Reubens, turkey clubs, Italians, cheesesteaks, PB&Js, egg salad--you name it. The only sandwich that's even in the same conversation is Ms. Cindy's Italian from Ioannoni's, and even that is a close second. This chicken cheesesteak is a perfect 10/10. Why? * Flavor: Outstanding. Every bite is packed with flavor. * Seasoning: Perfectly seasoned. Nothing bland, nothing overpowering. * Cheese Ratio: Exactly how it should be. Every bite has cheese without drowning the sandwich. * Bread: Fresh and soft while still holding together from start to finish. * Moisture: This is what separates it from most chicken cheesesteaks. The chicken is incredibly moist and juicy without making the roll soggy. Most places treat a chicken cheesesteak like it's just a cheesesteak with chicken substituted in. Balboa doesn't. It feels like they actually designed the sandwich around the chicken instead of just replacing the beef. I even texted the owner after eating it because it was that good. I told him: "Flavor. Seasoning. Cheese ratio. Bread. Moist and juicy. God damn." That pretty much sums it up. If you've only ever ordered the regular cheesesteak from Balboa, do yourself a favor and try the chicken cheesesteak at least once. It completely changed my opinion of what a chicken cheesesteak can be. Final Rating: 10/10 Best sandwich I've ever had.

And the servers checked in pretty frequently to clear the table, ask you if you need another drink, dessert, etc. it did feel a bit rushed. As a starter they give you their Ciabatta bread and the sun-dried tomato oil. The oil was DELICIOUS. I literally bought a jar to take home. For my drink I got the Fresca.

I was visiting a friend in DE and finally was able to stop by and try out Banh Mi Boy. I grew up in Philly and have been eating Banh Mi's for many years now (on and off...I crave it like at least once a week)...so I've had my fair share of Banh Mis from all the local Viet towns and Chinatowns (that's just about the only place you can get these). At first I was sceptical...seeing that there would be non-Asians making these Asian Sandwiches, but then I saw the Asian lady in the back...this is always a good sign. So...1st the positives, very comparable and maybe even better then the shops I've been to in Philly and New York. Everything tasted like it was made that day vs. who knows. My friend and I did splits on a Roast Pork and an Original and an order of the Summer Rolls. The Original tasted great and I felt that the veggies topping it off were extremely fresh! The Roast Pork on the other hand was exceptional! The Roast Pork itself tasted better then some of the Roast Pork you would find in some of the Chinatown Noodle shops (for those that know what I'm talking about). The roast pork itself was very lean and hardly had any fat on it at all. The Summer Rolls were exactly what I expected (this is good), because I've had Summer Rolls that are totally 'fake' and now-a-days, it seems like people are calling anything Summer Rolls...these were the real deal...they were nice and soft and the plum sauce for dipping was also perfect. The staff actually was good...and it felt like they knew what they were talking about regarding explaining the Banh Mis. The place felt clean and seemed like a spot you could just chill and hang out (i think one of the other comments said same thing)...which we did. The Cons....we did see a coconut lychee dessert, but wish they would sell a lot of the other great desserts that are sold in the philly, new york shops...and there are a lot of good ones. Other then that, we were extremely surprised and totally satisfied with our experience...will absolutely be back! read more

I agree with the points brought up by "Jenine B." and "Zack E." As a college student, I had to find out for myself. My girlfriend and I ordered the vegetarian sandwich. We were disappointed that there was very little sauce on and little substance to the sandwich. Since I am a starving college student and look to spend my money wisely, at first glance I thought Banh-mi-boy would have the price and substance from all the hype. For a sandwich around $5, I felt I did not get my money's worth. After our meal, my girlfriend and I went to the sub shop up the street to eat again! I don't care if the rolls come from Philadelphia every day and they are handmade with TLC (which is a plus), no substance = no business. However, I did find the staff to be very hospitable and the restaurant nice and clean. Perhaps one day I will return and try another item on the menu, but not the vegetarian tofu sandwich. read more

I was looking forward to eating at this new restaurant. I ordered the vegetarian sandwich and it was quite disappointing. There was not enough "meat" on the sandwich. It was all fluffy, puffy bread! I got ripped off because I just paid for a $5 fluffy, puffy roll! My friends were also with me, and didn't get half the ingredients on their sandwiches as advertised. Their juice is weird. It tastes like fruit cup juice...pure sugar and random pieces of pulp. Could you call the salad a salad? It was sprouts, tofu, and carrots, with a questionable dressing. read more

Haven't try my summer roll yet, I just don't understand why there's a service fee on to go order. Did the lady get paid while working there? ------------ Reply to the owner: stop calling it "service charge". You can just say you are charging for credit card fee to your customer when the fee is usually handled by the merchant. There's no sign about the credit fee in the store, the employee also didn't mention about this. I won't even know about this if I didn't take a look at the receipt. read more

But once you're inside, you realize this mother-and-daughter team is serving some of the most authentic Thai food you'll find anywhere in Delaware. We ordered a little bit of everything--starting with the satay and soup, both of which were warm, flavorful, and clearly homemade. The satay came perfectly grilled with a peanut sauce that could have been a meal on its own. The soup was the kind of comfort you don't expect to find unless someone's cooking for you at home. The Pad Thai and Pad Kee Mao were both outstanding, each with its own distinct balance of sweetness, spice, and texture. You could tell nothing came out of a jar--the flavors were bright, clean, and layered. The red curry, rich and aromatic, had that perfect slow-building heat that keeps you reaching for more jasmine rice. And speaking of rice--it was cooked just right, fragrant and fluffy, the quiet star that pulled everything together. What makes Bangkok House truly special isn't just the food, though. It's the feeling you get while you're there. The care that goes into each dish, the relaxed, no-frills setting, and the pride this family takes in their craft all come through in every bite. My daughter, who goes to college nearby, swears it's the most authentic Thai food in Delaware--and after this meal, I believe her. If you're anywhere near Newark, skip the big-name places and come here instead. It's a small spot with a big heart, and it's the kind of meal you'll still be thinking about long after you've left.
