The sandwich was delicious. Taste so fresh and super busy. My Vietnamese coffee sua da. Taste okay. The cashier not Vietnamese but knowledgeable. The place kidda small. But the parking was easy assist.

I was finally able to try this place and let me tell you I was not disappointed. The drinks caught my attention with the sugarcane juice and I had to try it. I tried the sugarcane and coconut water and I loved it!! I also tried the strawberry dragonfruit and sugarcane and it was so refreshing. If you get a chance you have to try it. So authentic and it tastes so good.

Best banh mi in town. The sauce in the banhmi made this place unique 🙌

Yummy Banh mi sandwich’s, bao and great selection of food to go.

I absolutely love this place. My go-to once a week almost every week. I usually get the number 7 grilled chicken, but I also get the number 8, which is tofu. The crunchy pickles, yummy chicken/tofu and the fresh bread make an amazing treat every single time. I recommend this place to every one I know and I wish it was near my office. I would go every day.

Awesome place!! Consistently delicious. Love the grilled pork banh mi with extra grill sauce :3. Staff are friendly and the spring roll and noodle dishes are awesome. The beverages are yummy too- there’s fresh sugarcane drinks as well. Definitely stop here and pick something up, you won’t regret it. Service is quick even when the lines are long and I can’t wait to come back because this banh mi haunts me like a Victorian ghost, ever-present in the back of my mind…

Absolutely delicious. First time, but will definitely visit repeatedly

Small place but man, was the Korean BBQ sandwich tasty! 7 bucks too. The best way I can describe it is that it was like eating the best spring roll paired with delicious Korean BBQ beef. Had a mango smoothie too for another 7 dollars. My fiance has the tofu sandwich with sugar cane juice and theirs was also great. For less than 15 bucks, amazing value.

Great service + AMAZING food and drink! Love the banh mi and all their dessert options. I try a new dessert every time, and they're all delicious ! 10/10 recommend

Wow! So delicious and fresh (and everyone is so nice). We were looking for a boba place where we could also get lunch and we were so pleased with this little gem. ❤️

Very good boba tea selection, salty vietnamese coffee is amazing. Nice selection in Vietnamese snack and dessert. Vietnamese baguette is nice

The food is fantastic, everything I've had is great. Best Bahn Mi I've had in the area. The pork buns are delicious too. Good and unique drink selection. The shop itself is tiny and cramped though and not particularly nice, it's not the kind of place you want to stay and eat if you can help it. But the food does not disappoint and service is very fast, so if you're just gonna grab some stuff to-go, it's perfect.

Love this place. The staff is friendly and helpful. The place is simple but quaint and clean. The food is tasty and the boba milk teas are fantastic. Try it.

This place is amazing! It's so cozy. The service is super friendly and their drinks are just exceptionally the best I've had! I usually go for the passion fruit sugar cane juice which is the perfcet balance of sweet and tart. I don't know much about Vietnamese cuisine, but I feel that this is a great place to explore Vietnamese foods. I can't wait to try more things! WONDERFUL PLACE!

A taste of the exotic, amazing smoothies and the best fresh bakes bread. You can play it safe or try something very different, but it is all delicious! The staff is welcoming and helpful, the space clean and organized and the prices very reasonable. I highly recommend.

I love the food. First time there and I have to say I will be back. Very good fresh healthy food.

Enjoyed our desserts today. Helpful staff and many dessert options.

Loved the Korean beef BBQ banh mi. The beef and the sauce taste so good. The service is also fast. Definitely recommend this place for a quick bite.

Incredibly friendly staff! The drinks we had were delicious. Next time we plan to try the food as well.

Best banh mi I've ever had. Bread was so fresh and crunchy and soft. 🤤 Affordable prices!! I'd go here every day if I could.

Amazing food at an incredible price I highly recommend trying this out if you like Vietnamese food. The teas are 10/10 too 🔥

This place has awesome banh mi, boba drinks, food to go, and snacks for the beach.

I really loved the places, I enjoyed a delicious mixed Bao and refreshing sugar cane juice, been there a few times and I’ll be back soon😍😋

Nice place, food was good and the place was clean and organized. They offer grub hub delivery.

The most flavorful, fresh and fantastic Vietnamese food in FL!!!

Yes, please!! Talk about delicious. Plenty to choose from at the counter and in refrigerator cases if you’re in a hurry, but I think it is 100% worth the wait for a hot bao bun. Easily the best I’ve ever had. Extensive boba and other sugarcane drink list. Food as adventurous and tame as you’d like. Plenty of options for everyone in your group. Counter service and a bit tight inside. Lots of outside seating. Plenty of parking. Highest recommendation!! I can’t wait to come back.

I think we’ve been coming here since they opened and it’s been consistently good/great. It’s awesome now that there are other great Asian street food places that have opened in the same plaza. Now we can wander and enjoy a few of them and I got an extra Bahn Mi to take home. Love it!

Kindest local Business ever! Delicious Fresh Authentic Food! Exceptional Customer Service Care! Serving Healthy Meals in Excellence. Highly Recommend

We ordered takeout from 545 Bánh and we were very pleased 😀 their food was delicious!!! And their customer service was even better, thank you 🙏 I highly recommend them to everyone, this is a must have experience!

We ordered at the Kiosk, so that's very convenient. Dac biet ( Bánh mì) sandwich: thick meats and bread, enough to fill a person. Grilled pork sandwich: the meat is a bit salty but goes wel with the butter and pickled veggies. The bread is thick and toasted just enough, great combo. Papaya salad: papaya salad is one of my favorites, so I had to try it out, and it didn't disappoint me. The sauce was on point, great flavors of sweet soy sauce with mint leaves and peanuts. Sugar cane juice: I added less ice so I could taste the sweetness of the sugarcane and I'm so glad I did, otherwise my drink would have had no flavor. Because it was much more bland compared to all the other sugar cane juice I've had in the past, maybe it's because its 100% juice with sugar added? I'm not sure. We dined in and the place was pretty crowded at the time, but we didn't need to wait long for a table. Self serve water, which is a plus since it is so humid down here.

Such a solid spot for Vietnamese coffee, teas, banh mi, and popular desserts/snacks. Love it here but internal space is limited, so this is mainly a grab and go space. Super unique thing is that they have freshly pressed sugar cane juice (nuoc mia). I’m not aware of any other cafe that has this!

Very friendly staff and the food was pretty good. Had the lemon grass pork Banh Mi and it was my first banh mi ever and I wasn't disappointed. Chicken rolls were interesting but not bad. And the drinks were arguably the best part. Overall 8.5/10

Love this place for the shrimp and pork spring rolls! They are consistently delicious! The people helping at the window are always super nice too. Note there is a water dispenser and siracha sauce bar on the left side of the cafe! I would definitely recommend checking out this great cafe!

Just came here for the first time.! Loved it. Great flavor great customer service. AJ is the best. He deserves a raise lol.

Great bahn mi, packed lunches, smoothies, and homemade kimchi all at extremely affordable prices!! My family has been coming for years and we enjoy everything we get. The avocado smoothie is particularly creamy and actually has a strong avocado taste and isn't too sweet. Anything with the lemongrass pork is delicious. The kimchi definitely has a more Vietnamese influence, but is delicious, nonetheless. We've never had to wait too long for food either.

The Sugar Cane juice is out of this world, and they give you a good amount for $6. They literally hard press the actual sugar canes right in front of you making it super fresh. The Bahn Mi is probably one of the better Bahn Mis in the area. Super recommend this place!

Great foods, services have room to improve!

This place is great. Awesome bahn mi sandwiches. The buns are fresh and they have a good variety of sandwiches. Their bobba smoothies are great as well.

Great spot. Love the quality and the price. Sandwich was super tasty

Being Vietnamese and gluten free, it’s impossible to eat a Banh Mi even though I crave it!! Today, I brought my own gluten free brioche buns and they were 100% accommodating with my request to make a Banh Mi with my bread!!! It made it safe for me to eat and enjoy!!! They even offered to toast my bread even though I already toasted it ahead (to prevent cross contamination). Thank you so much for bringing the Vietnamese in me back!!

This place is great my boys love the boba tea here and it's close by to us. I eat bánh mi and have cravings for it so it's definitely a plus having it near us. And the employees here every one of them has been accommodating we love coming here. Quick foods to pick up sandwich is great, desserts, small plates ready for pick up and go. Thank you guys.

Had the steamed buns with pork belly and beef! They were BOTH delicious! Also the mango chili smoothie was delicious. Customer service was excellent and they were very kind.

Really good food and drinks. We loved it and came back twice in the week

I like the pandan waffle here. Also like the coconut jelly, fried sesame ball are also good but only on Sat

Milk teas and fruit teas are excellent. The portion is great for the price. The corndog is from next door, i think its a great combo.

Thank you so much for showing us love when we needed it the most💛 I was really embarrassed to come in.....I did it for my kids....I'm happy I did. Food was DELICIOUS I actually didn't know how good cucumber was 🤣 Thank you for showing up with love, from the moment we walked in we felt it❤️ Thank you for making a difference in our life & not treating us any differently💜

this establishment is located within a plaza loaded with other Asian establishment, perfect plaza to do a food tour. it's small, no tables and only a counter with few seats available. the fresh pressed sugarcane juice was a fantastic surprise, i mixed mine with passionfruit it was very tasty and refreshing. if you don't have time to spare they offer pre-packaged grab and go food options.. tried several items, some of the favorites were the popcorn chicken, the Korean BBQ beef sandwich and Pork sandwich. the bread is phenomenal, soft, crunchy, flaky, it's everything it needs to be! the veggie fillings are fresh & crispy never wilted. the sandwiches could stand to be filled with a bit more, it's skimp. loooooove this place and definitely recommend a visit!

No frill. More like a takeout place than sit-in restaurant. Good food. Sugar cane juice is super sweet. Sandwich was good also.

545 Bánh Mì Café @545banhmicafe 📍Davie, FL Follow eatzwithsweetz on ig and fb for more! I stopped in for a refreshing Hibiscus Dragonfruit Tea. I loved the fresh fruit, and I also added boba. I also grabbed the fried fish balls. They were really tasty, especially with the sauce!

I go with FoFi & LuLu here for them BoBa drinks.... that Passion Fruit one I had last was amazing and I didn't want it to end! Popcorn Chicken & sauce is amazing! New Passion Fruit Smoothie Boba is the bomb and last much longer than my other choice! Thank you 545° Bánh Mì Café!

No dinning inside, it's a togo place and it's perfect. The grab food that was very fresh was available to pick up. The spring rolls are large and the buns are also large. Perfect for my size of appetite. I love the store and love what I ate and promise to discover more of the menu.

This is my pick me up option for the month, week and daily. Whenever I need a boost of energy and happiness I have to come here, the food and drinks are amazing. But what makes me come back over and over again is their people, the service is outstanding, from how they greet me (my son and even my dog), how they already know me and know what I will be ordering (25% sugar, less ice) and the beautiful smiles and kindness I recommend this place with eyes closed. They are consistent with the quality and with the good product and service. This is my favorite place, definitely recommend. A sip of happiness

My family and I came here after hearing about it from my husband who works close by, the Bahn Mi's Are one of the best I've ever had! My daughter loves their Boba tea they have a lot of variety. The employees are very nice and will definitely be back

The place is small and there's limited seating but the service and food where outstanding. The food was fresh, the juices fresh, and everything came out very fast. Would recommend 100%

every time that I eat here, the food is amazing and comes out very quickly, and the service is always top-tier. And after finding out that they are also supporting the community who have lost their snap benefits I will definitely be eating here as often as I can shout out to the wonderful people behind this business!

Good variety of bubble tea and quick bites. Limited seating inside. I got the mango smoothie it was delicious. Would return if in the area.

Buenisimo. Buena atención y muy rapida!!

A really nice Vietnamese restaurant. They have a variety of delicious Vietnamese food, treats and drinks. Some are made to order and some are pre-made to grab and go. I enjoy their refreshing smoothies and teas. Food always looks fresh and I love the fact that they use freshly squeezed cane juice. Prices are a little expensive but I think fair. It’s very small inside and I wouldn’t stay and eat there. It can get very full during lunch hours. I always order to go. It’s definitely a unique place to try something different.

The service was ok and the sandwich was ok. The only downside of the banh mi was the fact that the ingredients on the sandwich weren’t balanced. The pate didn’t taste like any pate that I have ever had. It was overly sweet but it was only 9.95 so you get what you pay for. The shop is really cute though. Even though I mostly came for the banh mi and it kind of disappointed me the coffee and bao stole the show!!

Gave this spot a try the other day and it's definitely a decent spot to check out if you're having a craving for classic Vietnamese fare. Let's start off with the beverages - I was extremely impressed with them. They're of good size, competitively priced, and filled to the brim with flavor. My favorite had to be the Mangonada Smoothie w/ boba. It's made with a lot of chamoy, seasonings, and served with a tamarind straw. When it comes to the food, I do have to say that I was a tad disappointed. I really enjoyed the Korean Beef Bahn Mi, but I definitely found the Pork Belly Bao and the Korean Fried Chicken to be quite lackluster. These two menu items were definitely lacking flavor and were disappointing especially when compared to other Korean fried chicken that I've had recently. You can also find some pre-made items for sale at 545 such as kimchi, sesame balls, and other unique items. The spot also has some indoor seating and a few tables outside. Overall, it's a decent spot where the drinks are the definite highlight. I wish the food items were a tad better, but overall it's a dope spot.

We went on Wednesday at 1:30PM. You can order at the cashier or via a screen. The screen menu is a bit confusing but overall works well. The place is very small, nearly no seating. We were lucky to have a spot but the place got quickly packed. There is seating outside. It took about 10 minutes to get our food. The sandwich was good but not great, I got the grilled pork Banh Mi. I thought it was too dry and plain. I took a Taro Boba, it was good. I took half sweet but it was still too sweet. Be careful with this :) One thing that I disliked about this place is the amount of trash you generate per meal. The boba is in a plastic cup with a plastic straw. The sandwiches are in a paper and then put into a plastic bag. 😱 They offer a lot of options for food and drinks. Overall I liked it, but it was not amazing and I felt bad about generating so much trash.

As a French/Vietnamese/American, it was difficult to find Vietnamese food my mom used to make. to find Ben Cuon (not sure of spelling) and the pate they serve with is incredible!! Had to ask all Vietnamese restaurant here and it is the only one. those dish are from the counter; the only thing i have to do is reheat the Ben Cuon. And I am so happy they serve it with crispy shallots, the way it supposed to be served. I enjoy the sticky rice with sliced "pate" quail eggs and the sliced pork sausage. Yes, I have to reheat it when I get home but not a problem as I want to eat this kind of Vietnamese for a few days as I do not live in Davie.

Very tasty bahn mi and the portion is just right if you want to grab a quick lunch. Lemongrass pork is my favorite. Service is usually fast

Go for the Durian Sugarcane Juice, it’s really good. The Viet snacks and sweetsoup are good as well. However the Viet Coffee is not really good compared to Pho 79 next door.

Food comes out quickly and is consistently good. Their tea is also excellent and they offer fresh sugar cane juice. I do wish they would stuff more ingredients into their Banh mi.

We like this place for their desserts. After eating to a nearby pho place we stop by here to get our sweets. They also have some smoothies. I love their avocado smoothies with bubba. There are other choices and service is fast. You can dine it or take out your orders. A must try.

Banh mi was a lemongrass pork and was really good. French bread was nice and crispy, the veggies were all fresh and crispy, and the house mayo was delish. Also had the chicken poppers with a lychee mayo which was great, but I'll stick with just the sandwich next time cause imo it was better. They also have an unsweetened strawberry tea that I got not on the menu which I ended up grabbing 2 it was good.

Drinks are good. Fresh. The bao buns were hard, not fluffy (first time having hard bao buns and the meat was cold too) the banh mi were good though. Friendly staff

Sandwiches are pretty good here plus they are quickly prepared. Would not recommend other items on the counter and in the fridge. Spring rolls and the vermicelli is just ok but you get what you pay for. The banana cake can use a more coconut sauce which could use some improvement. Overall you come here for the sandwiches.

Honestly probably the best Bánh Mi you can find in Miami… the cold cut was great… only reason for the 4 stars is because the popcorn chicken was really dry and bland tasted like store bought and not the good kind. Will definitely come back for the banh mi tho

The food is genuinely very good, authentic viet food and really fair prices. However we had a really unsettling experience with a man who was wandering the restaurant constantly approaching us and other customers, making us quite uncomfortable and continually staring. He was quite erratic and under the influence of something. I saw someone else had a similar experience so it’s a shame to hear that this isn’t a one off. The workers of the restaurant weren’t willing to do anything of the situation even when people were visibly uncomfortable and scared.

First time here and excited to try their food. I see sugar cane juice, bubble tea and traditional items on the menu and go ahead and tried the pork belly bao and grill pork banh mi. I had my first banh mi in New York city, Chinatown etc, might have have in mind what I'm familiar with but unfortunately, they were nothing like what I had. Banh mi is fair price but the sauce and meat really didn't give that sweet charred taste that I remembered and the pickle veggie were just passable. 2 pork belly were $9, the best part is the flour wrapping. Pork belly is sliced thin and dry totally opposite from what I had in mind. If I'm ordering fat, I should be able to taste it. These are just my personal opinion of my experience. Maybe my expectations were too high and they should've been different from what I had. Likely won't return unless I want some sugarcane juice or $6.5+ bubble tea.

This place is okay. I purchased the black milk tea regular sweetness with no ice. I went home to tweak it to add more black tea because it was cloyingly sweet. I like to taste my tea while I am drinking it. My gosh I make better boba tea than this joint. Save yourself and learn how to make your own. It was also underfilled for some strange reason?? On the pictures advertised on the menu the cup is filled completely; the amount of boba placed in the drink is also disappointing. I unfortunately misused my 5 dollars on 4.95 disappointment. I am being generous with 3 stars.

The place has a good amount of selection, but the ones I choose were okay. The banh mi thi nuong (grilled pork) and peanit sauce for spring rolls were a bit sweet. The xoi (sticky rice) was decent though.

545 Banh Mi Cafe makes really good sandwiches. Fresh ingredients, great flavor, and solid portions. But the prices have gone up quite a bit, and it’s getting hard to justify for something that used to be a great budget-friendly meal. Still tasty, just not the value it once was.

Simple the food is mediocre at best it’s just ingredients they haphazardly slapped into what looks to be a taco with an arepa for the outside shell…not boa… the kimchi used is so fresh the batch must have been made that morning. The meat quality was not great I’d have went with tofu had I known I’d need a meat grinder to chew threw their “Korean” beef which is just some poorly cut cheap slice with no flavor at all. Would not recommend if you’re looking for authentic food. The tea options they offer are plentiful.

Bánh Mì Café to be my go to place for drinks. However, my last three visits have been disappointing. Smoothies lack flavor and taste mostly like sugar water. I’ve consistently ordered the same thing for over a year and I’m really disappointed in the decline in quality. As of now I can only recommend their sugar cane juice.

So disappointed in this place, I used to come here to buy 20 banh mi’s to gift to my family whenever I would visit. Their quality has gone downhill in the past 1-2 years. I stopped coming back altogether after the last 2 trips I purchased over $130 in food /pastries/drinks to gift to relatives/family and every single banh mi bread was so stale. So embarrassing to gift bad banh mi. Really disappointing regarding their food quality control.

The place was a small cute area in the plaza. Staff was nice and friendly. Service was quick. It’s definitely a place a for a quick bite. Got the pork and beef buns. Been seeing them all over social media. They weren’t that good to be. It lacked flavor and seasoning. The bun was spot on though. Warm soft and delicious. I didn’t like the seasonings of the meat nor the toppings. I don’t know if it’s a Miami thing but seasonings down here seem like they just use salt. When I say I like seasonings on my food I’m talking about flavor ! 🤨 not just salt. Went down to Miami for a mini vacation and so far haven’t found an authentic good Vietnamese restaurant near by 🤦🏻‍♀️

Pork salty taste awful. Che average. First time but not coming back. Tbh

I've been here before in the past and had the dalgona coffee, which wasn't bad but I decided to try their brown sugar boba milk tea. It has to be THE LAZIEST version I've ever seen of this drink anywhere, in any state I've been to. Not even stirred one bit and the brown sugar syrup was stuck to the bottom of the cup so I had to try to scrape it around with my straw to get some bit of flavor. The flavor itself wasn't too bad, if you got any sugar with it, otherwise it just tasted like straight milk with tapioca. Only reason I gave it 2 star was because some of their other drinks aren't bad but I'm not sure what happened this time. Oh and it reeked of marijuana near the front counter (where you order) even though no one was smoking outside of the store so...

I’ve honestly given this place so many chances, but it’s getting ridiculous. I usually order the Thai tea, but the quality is just not consistent enough. Today, I waited 10 minutes for my drink even though the store was empty. When I finally got it, the boba tasted watery, and despite requesting less ice and 25% sugar, my preferences were completely ignored. They made the drink how they wanted to, and this isn’t the first time it’s happened. I really want to like this cafe because some days the drinks are really good, but the inconsistency and lackluster customer service make it hard. I guess it’s time to find a new spot.

It might be time to have a talk with the employees. The talk should be something along the lines of "make every sandwich like you were going to eat it yourself." My bbq pork Bahn MI was so carelessly slapped together. WAY too much pate and EVERY SINGLE slice of bbq pork in my sandwich was a big chunk of solid white, limp, chewy fat with some slight food coloring on the outside of each piece. Nobody should be putting even one of those slices of pork on anyone's sandwich let alone every slice. If the meat looks nasty when you slice it and you wouldn't eat it yourself, don't put it in someone else's sandwich.

La comida buena y no es fresca, pero los batidos y té son deliciosos

I used to love this place and was a loyal customer but will STOP going. The menu changed, the taste of the food changed for the bad, and the appreciation for customer loyalty is nonexistent. I asked if a dessert was made with coconut milk or regular milk and was told coconut milk. I then I ordered a thai tea and forgot to ask for coconut milk since I'm highly allergic to regular milk. Within one minute, the drink was already made with cow milk, not giving me time to confirm coconut milk. I asked if they could please replace it with coconut milk, and the lady said, "NO, YOU'D HAVE TO BUY ANOTHER DRINK." They lost a customer to gain cents on a drink. There are hundreds of other restaurants, so I'll be going somewhere else.

Reply to the owner’s response: Well then you should have 2 different settings for the machine then, one for customers requested ice, one for customers requested no ice. This should be the business’s responsibility not the customer!!! Your response is just an excuse! Other boba tea places like delicioustea, tiger sugar and Kung tea they all top it off regardless what’s the request for ice. ________________________________________ This place is stingy. When you don’t ask for ice they give you 80% full of boba tea. I don’t stand by business like this. Whether with or without ice it should be filled to the top. If I could give 0 start I would. Tiger sugar is better tasting and also no matter if you have ice or not they fill it to the top.

I was there yesterday I ordered two drinks four orders of chicken nuggets and paid over $71 I don’t know how they can charge that much but it is what it is whenever come here again

I recently tried two items and was very disappointed: Chè: It was clearly spoiled, sour and off. I couldn’t eat it at all. Bánh mì thịt nướng: The only thing salvageable was the bread crust. The grilled pork was awful, flavorless and unpleasant, overly sour. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend either. If you’re craving chè or bánh mì thịt nướng, this isn’t the place.

I went and bought banh tranh tron from the store just to found out the sliced mangoes are ruined and it makes the whole box smelled very bad. It looks like the owner doesn’t not throw away their old stuff. Please check everything you bought from this store to prevent this from happening.

Food is good but customer service is terrible , I ordered a sugar cane juice with coconut and literally only got 5 small little pieces of coconut in the drink that costed me $8 that’s insane , they use to give more coconut not sure what’s going on , also the lady in front register barely speaks English which makes no sense at all , never coming back here again rip off and what ever lady was there today front register at 10:30am 2/25/2025 has terrible customer service , also needs to work on English doesn’t make sense that this is Tai food and the people don’t even speak English , so disappointed in the 5 little pieces of coconut in the drink it’s absurd to charge more for a drink with coconut that doesn’t even bring coconut !!!!

No words for this, the picture explains itself. The white stringy stuff appears to be mold and is disgusting to think that such stuff is still being sold which makes me wonder how long the other products are stored. Serious health hazard, would not recommend to anyone.

I recently discovered this restaurant and took every chance I could to eat there. The food and drinks are outstanding, honestly on par with some of the best bánh mì I’ve had in Vietnam. Unfortunately, I no longer see myself dining there, and it has nothing to do with the quality of the food. The last three times I visited 545, I encountered the same unsettling situation. A man who appears to be under the influence of drugs wanders around the plaza and repeatedly enters the restaurant. During my visits, he was yelling incoherent statements, giving me menacing looks, and going in and out of the bathroom multiple times. This made me extremely uncomfortable. Because of this, I don’t feel safe eating there or bringing friends and family. I don’t understand why the staff does not take steps to ensure a peaceful environment for paying customers, such as trespassing individuals who disrupt the dining experience. It’s disappointing, because the food is excellent, but the lack of attention to customer comfort and safety seriously detracts from what could otherwise be a great dining experience.
