Had to make a trip to Trung Nguyen to try out the duck sub thanks to this thread
I had been there once before -- it was fine IIRC -- but hadn't tried anything else on the menu.
The sub was not what I expected... in a good way! I was thinking it would by the duck meat/duck fat providing the flavor and texture. Instead, it was duck meat in a light hoisin sauce -- similar to Peking duck wraps -- which hit the spot for me (as someone who prefers a little sweet over just savory/spicy). The soft baguette and cucumber completed the "Peking duck" experience, with the carrots and onions adding a bit of crunch as well.
The only downside is that I ate half right away (delicious!) and took the other half back to the office; unfortunately, by the time I got there the baguette had gotten a little soggy due to the additional sauce.
P.S. My usual go to for DT Banh Mi is Thai Tai (just south of the Bay), but the place has been so busy the last two times I've gone that I ended up going somewhere else.
