Saigon Vietnamese Sandwich Deli

Such a wonderful and delicious surprise! After we finished the house special, we immediately went to order the pate supreme because the house special was so good. They're cash & venmo (additional $1 for venmo transactions), and they do have an ATM inside.

Bahn mi #1 house special was really delicious! It was so big that I had to save the half for later. I'll try a different one next time 🙂

I got the house special banh mi. To be honest, this was my first time having a banh mi so I'm not an expert on the topic but I liked it! The dish was a symphony of textures. The baguette was very crispy, giving way to some crunchy and slightly acidic vegetables, vibrant cilantro, tender and juicy sliced meats, and some crispy grilled minced pork. The baguette itself was the stuff of dreams, shatteringly crisp but not hard and without even a single hint of sogginess despite the moist fillings. It was obvious that this sandwich was made fresh. I will say though, I did expect the fillings to be a bit more flavorful and spicy, so I was a little disappointed in that regard. But where this place truly shines is in the VALUE. Bro, I got an entire baguette generously stuffed with meat and veg for like $11! Do note that it's cash only, but there's an atm inside if you need. I can see this being a go to lunch spot for me if I was in the area often. Would recommend!

The banh mi here is delicious and so generous! The person at the front counter was extremely welcoming and they have a few chairs for those wanting to dine in. The sandwich itself is filled to the brim with protein and pickled vegetables, combining savory and fresh flavors. For most people, one sandwich can probably count as two meals. Definitely somewhere everyone should check out!

Quality has gone down—I used to love the grilled minced pork and the recipe is different now, very dry and bland. The quantity of chicken in the curry chicken banh mi makes its $11+ price really not worth it, even though it was tasty. hoping my favorite banh mi shop for the last 2 decades makes a comeback 🙏
