    I've been coming here for years. If Joju is closed or I'm trying to go for a more affordable sandwich, this is my go-to Vietnamese sandwich. We ordered Taiwanese popcorn chicken, Vietnamese sandwiches, and bubble tea from here and they were all delicious. They also have rice dishes, noodle dishes, and other Asian appetizers. Orders normally take 15-20 minutes to get so you should always call ahead. I've tried the grilled chicken sandwich and the classic sandwich. I thought the classic sandwich would be more obvious with the meats, but it was not too different in taste. The meats were smaller portions than what you would receive from Joju, but it makes sense since it is cheaper. The popcorn chicken is delicious and definitely something you cannot go wrong with. The bubble teas are more affordable compared to the other spots in the area so this is good, too. I will be back as always.

    Pork Bahn mi

    This is my go to bahn mi spot, I got two bahn mi's. One pork with mild spicy and one chicken with medium spicy. If you can't handle your spice but like a little kick I recommend mild. The baguette is crunchy and decently filled for the price. I usually take it to go bc theres only a few seats and the ambiance is not priority but you can't beat the price. They are pretty speedy as well

    Iced rice before mixing

    I ordered takeout from here and tried their fried fish and classic banh mi sandwiches. They tasted good, but I'd take a star off for the small portions. I also tried their classic iced rice which I had never had before, which was fun to eat. The dessert included purple rice, watermelon, peanuts, snow fungus, corn, raisins, sweet potato balls, and iced syrup on the side. The syrup tasted like aiyu jelly, which is sweet and citrusy.

    This small fast-casual style restaurant has a very simple interior, but it can be challenging to feel comfortable due to the bikes and restaurant supplies openly displayed in the dining area. The cashier may initially come across as standoffish, wearing a frowning expression, but we eventually got used to it and didn't mind. They were quite efficient and quick when it came to taking orders. The menu here offers very affordable options, and while you might assume they serve Vietnamese food, they actually present various comfort food from different cuisines (Vietnamese, Chinese, Taiwanese, Japanese). We tried the signature noodle soup (3.5/5), which had a spicy and flavorful broth. It was topped with fatty beef and spam, and originally it includes a medley of ingredients such as tofu, cilantro, lotus root, beef meatball, rice cake, wood ear mushroom, and narutomaki. Unfortunately, the quality of the dish has declined. They no longer serve fried tofu with the soup; instead, they have replaced it with silky tofu. Additionally, the meatballs, which used to be part of the dish, are no longer included. The beef banh mi (4/5) had a rich umami flavor thanks to the marinade, and the pickled vegetables provided a good balance to the richness. The popcorn chicken (4/5) was crispy, juicy, and tender, prepared fresh upon ordering.

    As a bahn mi connoisseur, I can easily say this is my new favorite bahn mi sandwich. The bread is toasted to the perfect light crispness and it's just the right anount of protein, pickled veggies, cilantro, and mayo all at around $7-8 a sandwich. My favorite are the grilled chicken and fish. Service was fast and friendly and though this place has more of a fast casual vibe, there are still a few tables where you can sit down and eat. I'll be back soon.

    Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken
    Jane L.

    This review is for delivery only. My husband and I had a craving for bahn mi and decided to order from Summer for the first time since it's been on our list for a while. We both got the classic and shared an order of Taiwanese popcorn chicken. The food was pretty solid overall. The popcorn chicken was deliciously seasoned and very crispy, despite the fact that it had to travel to get to us. We would definitely order it again. The classic bahn mi was decent; however, I couldn't identify any pâté, and although I saw what I believe was a slice of ham in the sandwich, I couldn't taste it. The pork was very crumbly, almost ground, and it was on the sweeter side, but it was okay. The veggies and cilantro were abundant and dominated the sandwich. They tasted fresh, but they were concentrated on the top two thirds of the sandwich, so most of the bites I took seemed to consist of only veggies. I guess that balances out the popcorn chicken. I would try a different bahn mi next time or perhaps a rice/noodle dish. It was a decent delivery experience though.

    Bahn mi (Fried Fish Sandwich and Grilled Pork Sandwich) and Crispy Fried Fresh Milk Stick
    A T.

    I was in the neighborhood and found this place for lunch. The bahn mi was so good! The price is great and the quality of the food was amazing. Also, the teas were good! I really like the bread and even bought a few. I didn't like the fried milk sticks honestly, but everything else was delicious. Wish I lived closer, this place would be me go-to. Price is right, but the food is amazing!

    Deluxe Sandwich & Popcorn Chicken
    Shaji K.

    **Delivery Review** Placed an order through UberEATS on a Saturday evening. Interesting menu of Southeast Asian dishes ranging from rice to noodles to sandwiches. Ordered the Deluxe Sandwich ($9), Tofu Summer Roll ($6), and the Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken ($6.75). The sandwich tasted like your regular banh mi fare - pork, carrot, cucumber, but with egg as well. I believe there should have been bacon as well, but couldn't taste it. Popcorn chicken is a large handful of breaded chicken bites. The ratio of breading to chicken wasn't the best, but the overall flavor is good, especially with a side of spicy mayo ($0.50). Tofu roll had all the accoutrements - yeah needed a lot of hot sauce to add flavor to the tofu base. Delivery was on time and the food was warm on arrival. Meal was overall okay, might opt for a noodle dish next time.

    Honeydew Milk Bubble Tea
    Kimberly W.

    Cute Vietnamese shop with lots of seating. The cashier was kind and made my drinks quick. She also packed the food well. The food is most likely pre-made, the cashier said my order would take 15 minutes, it took about 5 minutes. Great place for affordable Bahn Mi's and a simple noodle or rice dish. A lot of rice and a bit of meat, but a filling meal cheap meal. I had the grilled pork over rice and it was okay. It was not the greatest grilled pork, but it was what I expected for the price ($6). The lychee green tea was okay, the green tea taste was very overpowering so I hardly tasted the lychee flavor. The honeydew milk tea, however, was one of the best honeydew milk teas I've had. It's had a great balanced flavor of honeydew and milk. It wasn't too sweet the bubbles were delicious. tl;dr - affordable food, tastes as I expected, worth the price, the honeydew milk tea is amazing

    Christine Y.

    I've been here a couple of times from when it first opened to present 2021. I think the sandwich quality has gone down. Flavor is there in the meat but there is lacking in quantity in meat now and the sandwiches are generally less packed.

After ordering, you need to wait 15 minutes before your sandwich is out - at least there's a lot of searing inside so you can definitely enjoy your sandwich inside!! Got the two most popular sandwiches - dill party and chicky. - dill party (4.5/5): this sandwich was almost perfect - the only thing it was missing was the crunch factor. The bread could have been slightly more toasted (it was a bit soft and didn't have a crunch), there could have been more pickled, or the addition of chips in the sandwich, but other than that, the ingredients of the sandwich were so fresh and the turkey was perfect - not dry at all, not too much as it may seem - chicky (4.5/5): this sandwich was a bit heavier. the bread was cooked a bit better but could have been a bit more toasted, but the chicken meatball - holy moly this was perfect. it was so soft and juicy and full of flavor Overall, this sandwich spot is definitely worth the trek and visit to try it out. the only thing that would make it 5 stars is just slightly more toasted sandwiches :)

As far as the dining area- The restaurant was spacious, composed of neatly lined tables and chairs with their centerpiece luncheonette bar gracing the room. Their al fresco arrangement was remarkable- with their lighter hued blue and green colored metallic seats and tables quietly lining the corner of Menahan street. A softboi haven. I imagined this to be a type of restaurant where a newlywed Mormon couple in the Great Plains would run. A place where pleasantries and support for one's neighbor is what mattered. "Another delicious sandwich, Hezekiah. See you guys in church." but truthfully, I felt a bit sour overriding my preference for the reliable in favor for the novel. A half chicken over yellow rice with plantains might have been the better option for my pocket, palate, and my need to protein max. But woe is me. Regardless, I'll have to respectfully pass on seconds at the Salty Lunch Lady's.

If there were a footrest bar at the bottom it might've helped, but as it was, my butt was not fitting on that seat. I basically had one foot on the floor and one on my friend's chair just to keep myself from sliding off. Graceful! We ordered two espresso martinis and a slice of tiramisu. Both were absolutely lovely and the perfect way to end the night. The staff were friendly, fast, and really on top of things. Next time I'd definitely come for a table, and maybe a proper meal, because the dishes coming out of the kitchen looked divine. My only gripe? Seventeen dollars for an espresso martini feels... ambitious for Ridgewood. It's not like this is some high-end cocktail bar, it's an elevated pizzeria.
