hey yimay - we tried Tam deli today, it was awesome. I had a grilled pork sandwich, which was awesome. Also I couldn't pass up a steamed pork bun, which was great -- the filling was sweet and the bun was sticky and doughy. Based on my first visit, I'd say it's worth a second trip.

I've been going to Tâm for a few years now, and I can't recommend it enough. Besides the more conventional sandwiches (my favorite is the combination -- grilled chicken, ham, and pate!), they make a boiled shrimp sandwich which is cool and comforting, and a buttery fried shrimp sandwich which is utterly decadent. Along with maybe Sunflower, their eggrolls are the best in Austin, and the shrimp and shredded yam cakes (can't remember what they're called) are incredible. Finally, and this is most important, I think they're the only Vietnamese restaurant in town that makes curry the way my mom makes it.

A guy at my office brought a bunch of these back for lunch the other day from the Saigon Deli in Seattle... he just called it a 'Vietnamese Sandwich'. I was wondering what the sauce was, I sort of assumed it was some kind of hot mustard but couldn't tell either... I guess the slight spice came from the peppers.

The sandwich I had was excellent, but I kind of doubt it used the proper banh mi rolls. Still, tasted great, and cost like $2.

Found my way here from chowhound.com. Can't wait to get back to Houston in August. Givral rocks.

I had a Banh mi at Chooby-Doo vietnamese cafe . It was delicious.Chooby-Doo cafe is new and very clean at West William Cannon Austin, Texas
It is the best ,I ever had.

We just had Tam Deli Bahn Mi at our wedding!
They are best! Have you tried the jicama spring rolls or their rice wraps! ummm...I'm hungry. Gotta go.
