NhuLan's Bakery Bahn Mi Sandwich Review

Restaurant Review

NhuLan's Bakery
2612 W Lawrence Ave
Chicago, IL 60625-2921
(773) 878-9898

Issay and I heard about Nhu Lan from our Viet-American friend Freedom, who informed us that the bakery has freshly baked bread and delicious fillings. We trekked all the way to Lawrence and Western by bus in order to test his theory that the sandwiches were superior to our beloved Ba Le Bakery on Argyle and Broadway.

As soon as the sandwiches arrived by the teenage waitress at our table, we knew Freedom was right. The bread was fluffy and steaming hot. The center oozed with freshly cut BBQ pork. Because there was less bread, the sandwiches left us feeling satiated and comfortable, instead of over full as we normally felt from Ba Le's overly crusty sandwiches. Not only that, but the price was a little cheaper.

It will definitely join our weekly taste test of Chicago's finest restaurants from now on.
