From the looks of it (and some reviews I've seen online) Bao Sandwich Bar is closer to Bahn Mi Boys in Toronto, a more upscale/expensive place. There's no beating Givral for $3 sandwiches.
Sounds like it from the menu too.
Not that there's anything wrong with this, but once I was at Banh Mi Boys. They ask you for your name so that they can call out your order. But there were three people ahead of me with my name, so I supplied "Minh" (typical Vietnamese name) and that totally confused the cashier. Shoulda tried Nguyen.
The food is indeed novel and well executed though.
