Daikon

Dubbed the best Bahn mi in Denver, this fast casual place delivers on that promise. Slow cooked pork and an array of pickled vegetables, sauces, and fresh herbs all come together to make one great sandwich. You could also get it in a bowl, but you would miss out on that warm, toasted bread. Instagram: foodingdrinkingrunning

I’ve eaten my fair share of bahn mi and I must say, for me, it comes down to the bread. The fillings are always fresh and delicious but the bread makes or breaks this sando. Daikon’s bread is a bit on the soft side but the crusty top half saves this sandwich most certainly. I wanted to try their brisket but was sadly disappointed when they were already out of it a mere hour after opening. I went with the braised jackfruit instead and was pleasantly surprised by it’s good blend of sweet and salty flavors. Nice ratio of veggies though more jalapeños would have been appreciated. The usuals: nice open air dining area though be advised it is very tiny with VERY SCRAPEY chairs against the concrete. A bit sticky on the dining table surface and my BF had to clean our eating space with a napkin (really?!) Prices are a bit steep for just a sandwich. They do have add ons (patè!!!) but they are on a board off to the side so I didn’t see it in time to order it. Small selection of teas/boba as well. Parking is...grab it as soon as you see it.

I've frequented the taco joint next door for a quiet a while, I've always been a little curious about the sandwich shop next door but never made it in. A few weeks ago I was in Civic Center Park for the food truck lunch party they do on Tuesdays and Thursdays throughout the summer...I noticed Daikon had a truck out there (only on Tuesday from what I understand) and decided to try one of their sandwiches...I was hooked. My office isn't too far from their actual restaurant and I've found myself popping by for lunch now and then, love the original pork sandwich! We are actually going to to have them cater an office event next week, looking forward to it! It's nice to have a new (well new to me) option for lunch now and then.

Love this unique spot! After visiting Vietnam we’re always looking for bahn mi’s! They did a great job here at making them authentic (but with a twist) and super fresh. The bread and toppings are perfection, the herbs are so fresh. Nick accommodated our weird requests with a smile and was super easy going! He made our experience great! A perfect place for a special sandwich (or bowl) and really cute interior. Will be back soon!! And don’t forget to try the Vietnamese coffee and they serve beer!!

This place has really fresh ingredients, delicious food, and the serving size is just right. They have vegan/gluten free options. It is a little small on the inside but you won't mind being cramped when you're scarfing down that 36 hour brisket. If you go with the Daikon bowl try it with the quinoa instead of rice

Our company, located in DTC, ordered catering for 220+ people from Daikon and everything was great. The food arrived right on time and they had it setup exactly at the scheduled time. All of the meats were perfectly cooked and tender. The brisket pulls apart better than many of the BBQ places in the South DTC area. The vegetarian Jack Fruit option was very tasty and savory. If their brick and mortar location is anything like the catering then I look forward to visiting it in the near future. Cheers!
