Bol
|
| | Really fancy touches on a classic | |
|
I had read about the Banh Mi French Dip idea about a year ago. It made sense: I love pho and banh mi sandwiches, why not integrate the two? A fusion of sorts. I had heard that this sandwich was featured at Bol Restaurant in the University District of Seattle, so I had to go. | |
|
|
| | They helped me find my way there. | |
|
|
|
| | Cool menu and big, metal soup spoon and metal chopsticks. I was impressed already. | |
|
|
|
| | So many awesome choices including egg and truffle garlic fries. I was in heaven. | |
|
|
|
| | Nice touch to their water. | |
|
|
|
| | Duck sandwich option: next time. | |
|
I was on my way to 'Data Viz and Snacks' a fun meetup for people into data visualization in Seattle. | |
|
|
|
| | Dregs of the pho once done. Good drinking. | |
|
|
|
| | The egg in there. Looks good. | |
|
|
|
| | Money shot. "Jus" (pho) not overly dark but was good. | |
|
|
|
| | Ordering, Waiting and Anticipation | |
|
| | I chose the Banh Mi with pork (which was recommended by my server) and I added a fried egg and truffle garlic fries (which sadly never came). | |
|
I was afraid that the "small side" of pho broth would not be enough. | |
|
The sandwich should be big, filling and good. | |
|
Fresh cuke, cilantro, pickled daicon, jalapeño, house-seasoned pate-aioli spread). | |
|
Will the veggies on the sandwich be too fresh to enjoy when dipped into jus? | |
|
Gluten-free bread option. | |
|
Slow delivery for the food: it took ~20 minutes?! | |
|
|
|
| | I almost didn't want to dip because the sandwich really didn't need anything more. | |
|
The pork was very delicious and the sandwich alone was delicious. | |
|
|
|
| | I used the jus sparringly but it was nice to have, albeit not central or critical to the meal. | |
|
The pho alone was great (we were off to a really good start). | |
|
|
I give it "Excellent": 5 of 5 everywhere. | |
|
As French Dip it's a 4 but still very great. | |
|
Overall this was a 5: great / perfect sandwich and stuff but not a perfect FD. Great concept. | |
|
|
|
| | They forgot my Truffle garlic fries. | |
|
|
|
Awesome place for food in the U District. | |
