text: Warning Unless you are an intrepid foodie or otherwise familiar with Asian Corners you could easily be thrown off course by these reviews This place like Asian Corners is pardon the bad pun pho real No frills no fuss and yesterday January no heat in the mall area That did not stop a throng of happy Asian kids from riding bikes and rollerskating in the mall courtyard area Come to think of it what a great place for kids to go sort of like the malls of my childhood where kids were free to roam while parents watchful eyes were everpresent No this place is located in the heart of Charlottes China Town an authentic spot for those serious about authentic Asian foodnnLes Sandwich Shop which has received some recent mention in local media is absolutely worth seeking out If for no other reason it is fascinating to witness this hidden part of Charlotte Parking lot potholes and sagging ceiling tiles notwithstanding the Asian Corners shopping center is a piece of AsianAmericana not to be missednnAnd the banh mi sandwiches Mais oui The baguette bread was lightly toasted and pleasantly fluffy inside I ordered the pork sandwich and it came loaded with succulent sliced seasoned pork thinly sliced onions thinly sliced peppers cilantro and nothing else THAT was the beauty of the sandwich its simplicity was unmarred with too much stuff There was however a jar of hot sauce plus salt and pepper on the counter The price tag Three bucksnnI also tasted the Taro bubble tea which on a freezing cold day was probably not the best idea As bubble teas go this was good It was also madetoorder as the constant whirring of the blender reminded mennGo for experience Go for the low price Go for the taste But by all means go experience this authentic Vietnamese taste treat
