    Best banh mi in the city in my personal opinion. "The Special" is your classic cold cut combo with perfect ratios of all condiments and a ton of meat. Their grilled pork is my alternative go-to when I'm not feeling cold cut, but I still ask them to add pate to it because their pate is oh-so delish. Their fresh spring rolls are always a delight and super refreshing and the peanut sauce is perfect. Iced Vietnamese Coffee is nice and strong but I ask for extra condensed milk to sweeten it up a bit more to my liking. Overall, one of my default neighborhood lunch spots for when I want something "light." I've definitely learned to call in to order over the years because they get really busy and can take exceptionally long, but it's well worth the wait, I promise.

    Came to Dinosaurs at 1215pm on a Tuesday and it was pretty busy. It's just a window at which you order and pick up your order, right next to the outdoor seating/play area and a pilates place. Ordering is quick and easy, and most people were waiting directly outside for their order. We got our order around 15-20 minutes after placing the order, and it looks like a pretty small space inside with just one person making orders and another taking orders. The Special ($14.75): this is roasted pork, pork loaf, and pate, in addition to the default pickled carrots and daikon, fresh cucumber, cilantro, jalapenos, and mayo. The banh mi comes on excellent bread, crunchy but not hurt your mouth crust, with soft and fluffy bread that held up even the day after without getting stale. There's a LOT of carrot pickle but not as much daikon or cucumber which is a little unfortunate, but the rest of the sandwich makes up for it. There's a generous amout of meat, the pate has a distinctly umami Maggi sauce taste, and theres just enough mayo without being overwhelming. It's big enough to be two meals or one large meal, though obviously the bread is best fresh. Definitely a great lunch if you have a moment to wait for the sandwich to be made :)

    If you like Bahn mi's, this is the place for you. Giant flavorful sandwiches with fresh ingredients. It's big enough to split with two people but it was so good I devoured it myself in one sitting. My only gripe, the bread isn't that soft. It can cut the roof of your mouth while eating it at some points. But that's what happens when you eat a sandwich. They have really great spring rolls too. Definitely worth the drive to lakeside.

    I love getting banh mi here! I always go for the crispy tofu, and I loveee the flavor and the texture of the bread. Perfectly crispy and delicious! It's a booth for takeout only, making it a great quick stop for a simple bite. Highly recommend.
