Globalarb Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 I've heard good things about this place...and their sandwiches...but I'm clueless as to where it is. Anyone know? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midtown 4.2 Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 Actually there is a slight contoversy regarding Les Givrals. The original (1980's) Givrals, on Milam, moved into the Hoa Binh shopping center (between Milam and Travis), and another vietnamese sandwich shop opened up in the old location. . . using the same name. I recall overhearing the orignal Givrals owner expressing her frustration to a Houston Press reporter once. Anyway, both locations offer up good AND cheap sandwiches. . . .and other stuff. Don't be intimidated by the hole-in-the-wall asian atmosphere. . . we asians don't bite ; ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Globalarb Posted September 1, 2004 Author Share Posted September 1, 2004 Oh, I love hole-in-the-wall, authentic places. I've tried so many Pho places all over the city, alongside other ethnic cuisine. Any Pakistani food lovers on the board? Savoy is the best.Thanks for all the clarification, I'll have to try them both! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Globalarb Posted September 2, 2004 Author Share Posted September 2, 2004 I pulled to Hoa Binh trifecta today. Pho, sandwich, and a little shopping at the market. Tried the original Givrals -- Fantastic! By the way, the Pho shop in the same shopping center has the greatest iced coffee drink (french coffee out of a press w/ ice and condensed milk)...10x better than Starbucks, not to mention less than half the price.Thanks for the help!
