There is a great little place on 6th and madison on first hill (just east of bridge). They call them Saigon Sandwiches. It's next to a dry cleaner and shoe store

There is a great Vietnamese sandwich joint hidden away in a strip mall behind the Grease Monkey where Greenwood Ave, N. 105th St, and Holman Road intersect. It used to be called Tic Toc (companion to the pho shop on 85th), but was just renamed. The same clock logo makes me believe it's still the same ownership, though.

The Green Papaya on Capital Hill had the best banh mi in town. I say had because after a debacle there on Friday night and waiting an hour for a sandwich (a sandwich -- with the restaurant at 1/2 seating capacity!) I ended up walking out before my food made it to the table. End result -- I'm looking for a new banh mi place that won't make me and my girlfriend wait an hour for very simple & quickly preparable food. I'll have to try a couple of these places that are mentioned.

My beef: why is the bahn mi segregated to the International District. Shouldn't we be able to eat these little wonders in Capital Hill, Freemont, or Belltown? (More thinking on this in my blog.)

Who wouldn't love carrots in their sandwich? Goes about as well as jello and rice.

You should give the Vietnamese place in the Greyhound Bus Station a try. Sounds bad in theory, but if you're on the other end of downtown, getting to the ID isn't as easy. They make very good Banh Mi sammiches.
