pork banh mi / pork and spring roll vermicelli

Fuuuuuusion haa...well I'm sure some of you got that. Green Fusion, formerly known as Ginger 2, is at Yonge/Gerrard and serves decently priced decently tasting vietnamese food. Half takeout half restaurant style, you order at the front, they give you a cardboard number, you go sit down, and then you get to watch them try and find where the hell you're sitting. Maybe not the best system but at least you don't have to leave any tip. Forks, spoons, knife, chopsticks, napkins are at another counter on the side...and not to mention the freee tap water!

Just looking to grab a quick bite I got Green Fusion's take on the banh mi, the "Specialty Vietnamese Jumbo Sub" ($2.85 + tax). No comment on the name lol but it's much different from the chinatown ones. The meat is grilled and you have your choice of pork/beef/chicken...and of course I got the pork. This was like back in september so...but from what I can remember, too much bun, not enough filling, not that good.

What I usually come here to get is the pork and spring roll vermicelli ($5.95 + tax) which is always good. It's no different from other places...pork, spring roll, vermicelli...and of course the obligatory lettuce and cucumber hidden at the bottom to make the bowl look full. The pork was tasty and so was the spring roll...and then the rest is kind of hard to screw up so if it can pass those two tests it's good enough for me.
