Sandwiches are pretty much my jam, and it can be hard to find a really a good sandwich in Los Angeles (I am from Philly, afterall). So I'm always excited when a new place pops up that offers a fun alternative to the usual sandwich. Hero Shop in Downtown Los Angeles takes a twist on bánh mì sandwiches with really delicious fillings and flavors mixed with the traditional garnishes of the Vietnamese style sandwich.
Some of our favorites include the Spicy & Sour Chicken, Lemongrass Tofu, and BBQ Pork sandwiches. They mix a bit of spice and tanginess into a filling and satisfying sandwich that I'm craving more of already.

These look so delicious – almost makes me want a sandwich at 9:30am! Also, I just love that first photo. Two thumbs up.
oh my gosh, I love vietnamese sandwiches…that place looks pretty incredible. I used to live around the corner from a hole in the wall that made the best vietnamese sandwiches, went there probably a few too many times a week! Yum!

That looks scrumptious. The ones in NYC are delicious too!!
Looks so good! I love that you live in LA so that I can actually visit these places!
A Vietnamese sandwich shop opened in the neighborhood next to mine and I find myself there more then I’d like to admit. YUM!!

This looks so good – I’m in Montana, but I wish I could have one for my lunch today!
I mentioned your book “Oh Joy, Inc” on my blog post today – and I credited it for launching me on the path to blogging! My blog is: the most — of every moment, in case you want to see what I wrote 🙂
Thanks for all the helpful information your book contains!
Looks delicious and the logo would draw me in if anything else didn’t haha
Whoa, that bread looks perfect. Great images too!
I never thought I would want to live anywhere but on the east coat, but I have second thoughts every time you post about food spots in your area 😉
These look so good:)

we’d love to see you there, you’re kind of big deal in our house/family.
we start at 9 and go until about 2, as long as we don’t sell out before that! thanks for making me smile/making my day!
This is wonderful! Last year I taught a 3D design for graphic design and we did food trucks. I’m teaching it again this fall and I must include this one in my project presentation!
Sounds delicious! I’ll have to try this when I’m out in L.A.
