Lily's Sandwich

While there are in fact many noodle and soup dishes here, it’s not called Lily’s Soups for a reason. We like to get the Bánh Mì Dac Biet here—aka the Lily Gourmet sandwich—which has a bunch of different cold cuts, including head cheese, roast pork, ham, and pâté. The baguette is near-perfect: crisp on the outside, tender in the middle, but still slightly dense. And at around $6, it’s one of the more filling bánh mì we’ve had.
