Portland, Oregon’s Best Sandwiches | Eater Portland

"While places like Best Baguette may carry more name recognition, An Xuyên has quietly served some of the city’s best bánh mì to a faithful crowd for years now. The secret must be in the bread, baked daily on the premises. It manages to have a crispy, flaky crust, but stays perfectly soft the rest of the way through for ease of dining. Fillings range from the more traditional pate and Vietnamese ham to chipotle chicken, lemongrass pork, and vegetarian options including tofu or faux meat. All of the sandwiches come with cucumbers, pickled carrot and daikon, cilantro, and jalapenos. Beyond the sandwiches, An Xuyên also carries savory and sweet bao, along with a plethora of baked goods like macarons and fluffy tea cakes." - Alex Frane
