Diners who venture inside Po'Mi will find a large menu of po'boys, banh mi, salads, bowls sides and desserts. The stuffings range from classics — think creole seasoned fried shrimp po'boys and crispy tofu banh mi — to mix-ups such as a crispy tofu po'boy and a buttermilk fried chicken banh mi.

The difference, it seems, are the additional cilantro and sambol aoili that come with the banh mi.
