Here are some tips for enjoying Lotus Banh Mi in Chicago:
1. **Try the Signature Banh Mi**: Start with their classic Vietnamese Banh Mi, featuring a crispy baguette filled with your choice of protein, pickled vegetables, and fresh herbs.
2. **Spice Level**: If you like heat, don't hesitate to ask for extra chili or sriracha to enhance the flavor.
3. **Vegan Options**: Lotus Banh Mi offers excellent vegetarian and vegan options, so definitely consider trying the tofu or mushroom banh mi.
4. **Add a Drink**: Complement your meal with a refreshing Vietnamese iced coffee or a traditional tea.
5. **Takeout Considerations**: If you're ordering to-go, request extra napkins and utensils, as the sandwiches can be messy!
