Transitioning from San Diego farmers market pop-ups to a brick-and-mortar location in 2019, Goi Cuon at 420 Robinson Ave brings Vietnamese street food to Hillcrest's 92103 ZIP code. The banh mi program layers house-marinated proteins on fresh baguettes baked to a crackly, airy standard rooted in Vietnam's French colonial bread tradition, a technique that parallels the European-style baking at Bread & Cie nearby. Every spring roll and pho roll is paired with one of three house-made sauces — a peanut dipping sauce, a coconut sauce, and a fresh mayonnaise — all prepared on-site each service. A dedicated vegan and vegetarian section covers spring rolls, vermicelli bowls, and pho with plant-based proteins, giving health-conscious diners in the 92103 ZIP code a Vietnamese counterpart to the cold-pressed juice menu at LIV Juice Bar and Smoothies on University Ave. The menu's most elaborate order is the Goi Cuon Special, which layers marinated pork sausage, grilled shrimp, sugar-cane shrimp, and egg rolls across a vermicelli or rice plate with seven components.
