Food recommendations from our editors:

Banh mi 11: For some Vietnamese Banh mi. Honestly quite nice, the pork roast is good, the ingredients are great and the taste quite authentic. Overall decent one , and must if you never tried Banh mi.

Temaki bros: For some Japanese street food. The lads there at Temaki bros claim to be obsessed with sushi and honestly you can’t blame them. After all who doesn’t love sushi. But they do roll quite a nice Crunchy roll in case you want to try.
