2 Asian Brothers

This evening I was on Lawrence & unfortunately Nhu Lan was closed as I had a taste for a banh mi.

I spied the verbiage banh mi on the door to 2 Asian Brothers restaurant.

I think the only place on LTH where 2 Brothers is mentioned prior is in this post from openings/closings: viewtopic.php?f=14&t=33696&start=300&sp=407895

I had the BBQ pork banh mi. Judging by the sandwich I received I think this shop is geared towards the nearby college crowd. Heavy on the meat, light on veggies (not really pickled much) and not on a crusty/chewy baguette like Nhu Lan.

I still enjoyed my sandwich but it didn't have the pop that Nhu Lan sandwiches or even Ba Le have.

I've been there twice, both times out of pure convenience and hunger, and while I find the food to be passable, I completely agree with you that it's geared towards the nearby college crowd and that it's not at all a true competitor to any of the better banh mi shops around.
