After leaving from one of my routine trips out to Tyson’s Corner Mall, I decided to knock another dish off my 40 eats list: the lemongrass bahn mi from Song Que Deli in Falls Church, VA.
As soon as I drove into the shopping center where Song Que is located, I felt like I had entered another world. There were nothing but Vietnamese restaurants and shops. Even the “streets” in the parking lot had been given Vietnamese names.
Located at the very back of the shopping center, Song Que is packed full of Vietnamese groceries, snacks and delicacies.
After taking a quick look around, I approached the counter to order up the lemongrass banh mi and an iced bubble tea.
I’ve never tried banh mi before, so aside from knowing that it was a sandwich, I didn’t truly know what else to expect. But for a mere $3.95, I was more than willing to take the chance. 
The banh mi was stuffed full of tender grilled beef, pickled carrots, daikon, onion, cilantro and jalepeno; all of which made for a great combination. I was seriously shocked by how flavorful and tender the beef was. And at such a great price, you get much more than your money’s worth. The thai iced bubble tea also helped to round out what was quite the nomaliscious experience. 
I’d definitely consider the lemongrass banh mi to be an essential eat! The flavor as well as the complete experience absolutely made this trip worth while.
