This banh mi was just okay. The bread was a little too hard and the fillings were a little bland. I wouldn't make it again.

This banh mi was a little too spicy for me, but it was still really good. I loved the pickled vegetables and the sriracha mayo. I would definitely make it again, but maybe with a little less sriracha.

I'm not a huge fan of spicy food, but this banh mi was still really good! The flavors were all very well-balanced and the bread was perfect. I would definitely make it again, but maybe with a little less sriracha.

I followed the recipe exactly and the banh mi turned out great! The only thing I would change is to add a little more sriracha mayo. Other than that, it was perfect.
