Now THIS was a sandwich. This was worlds beyond the other two I've had on the list so far, and was dirt cheap too. But I'm getting ahead of myself. Vanessa's Dumplings is a ten minute walk from where I work, and when I walked in, I could tell it was going to be good. Lots of customers, five giant woks set up in the open kitchen, fresh dumplings being made by hand five feet away from me. We actually got a bunch of food from here for the office today, and when the woman behind the counter heard that we wanted FOUR of these sandwiches, she couldn't believe it. But there you go. We also had some delicious shrimp dumplings, and I had a tasty and quite large almond milk bubble tea. But the sandwich...
Oh man, was the sandwich GOOD. Perfectly cooked roast beef, tons of scrumptious pickled carrots and cucumbers, a wonderful toasted sesame bun, and a sprinkling of cilantro that kicked in every so often that added another dimension to the flavors of the sandwich. There was also optional hot sauce, which was tasty but not necessary. Oh, and it was three dollars. THREE DOLLARS. Unreal.
I'm a bit hesitant to give this five stars, since there are so many more sandwiches on the list, but it's above a 4 for me. So I'm modifying my scale. I'm going to be introducing decimal points now to have more flexibility with my grading, and I've gone back and adjusted the grades on the other sandwiches as well.
Anyhow, this sandwich gets a huge recommendation from me, and I plan on going back many more times to try other items on the menu. 4.2 out of 5.
