    #3). Grilled Chicken (Gà Nướng) & Coconut drink
    Edith B.

    This place is my must-go place every Sundays :) love the Buy 4 get 1 free!!!! I could save for my lunch the next day, and it's still super tasty! The sandwiches have great amount of meat and vegetables, tasty not salty like some place of sandwiches The breads are warm and crunchy. The service is friendly, helpful, and fast - the most thing we need when we are in the hurry. I hate waiting :) Love their Heo Quay Banh Mi the most !!!

    Pork Pâté chaud
    Jae D.

    Buy 4 get 1 FREE!!! i love coming here especially for their #6 Xá xíu (BBQ pork) and #11 Bò tương đen (grilled beef). They offer some of the best Bánh mì I've ever had ! Locally owned, made with fresh ingredients, and authentic taste! They check all the boxes for me. I LOVE LOVEE their Pork Pâté chaud and they even sell them cold/frozen for you to bake/air fry at home. They have the best in the area IMO. Warm and flaky, crispy, buttery and the savory pork, adds an explosive flavor in each bite! I've been coming here for about a few years now and will continue to because the quality. is always. there.!!!

    Limited indoor seating, but they have a good variety of Vietnamese drinks, food, and snacks. My favorite spot for heo quay sandwiches! Super flavorful, crispy, and juicy!

    Found hair in sandwich

    First time, ordered on Grubhub. Found a long hair string inside my sandwich. Hope this fix soon.

    #4). Grilled Pork (Heo Nuong)
    Ethan W.

    Back at it again. Their bread is top notch for banh mis, and this time I got the grilled pork. The grilled pork is tender, juicy, and flavorful. They are generous with the protein, and included all the accoutrements missing from my last experience. That elevates this place to 5 stars from me. It is more expensive than my last visit, but still worth it! All those people lining up at the plaza next door (Duc Huong) are sleeping on Cali Sandwiches!

    Vegetarian sandwich
    Sydney J.

    I was in the mood for banh mi, so I decided to order ahead a vegetarian sandwich, no jalapeno, via DoorDash for pick up. The bread was light and airy, not dense, but not too hard to bite into. I particularly liked the dried tofu parts since they were savory. Overall it was okay, it was a good deal since it's $7 but not the tastiest or most memorable banh mi I've had.

    Both sandwiches were a slay. Service was good. Felt like Cali Sandwiches had a heavier hand in vegetables than Duc Huong, which was a welcome.

    Cha xiu Bun Mi
    Maggie G.

    We had two grilled chicken and one char xiu bun mi from this place. Size of bun mi was decent with a decent amount of protein. However, the grilled chicken is too salty and too dry. I'm not sure if was over cooked or the meat was used. It wasn't juicy, not a whole lot of flavors other than salty... a lot more room for improvement.

    Current sale going on for Banh Mi: Buy 4 Get 1 Free. As of 4/1/24, there will be another sale of Buy 2 Get 1 Free on all Banh Mi or Pate Chaud. I stopped by specifically due to pate chaud cravings. With Cali Sandwiches being in the same complex I was already in, why the hell not??!! What initially should have been a purchase of 1 pork pate chaud and 1 chicken pate chaud ended up being: 5 Assorted Vietnamese Baguette 1 Pork Pate Chaud 1 Chicken Pate Chaud 1 Cup of Yogurt To be honest, the Banh mi is mid. Flavors are lacking, literally. It's missing that extra bit of umph I need to make this place stand out above the rest. With that being said, the bread making skills here are fantastic- crisp yet fluffy in all the right places. Overall the sandwiches are not bad, they're just not great. The pate chaud isn't overwhelmingly oily and flavors are good. Yogurt was by far the best item purchased. I'd come here again specifically for that. 3 stars for the food but one added star for the service. Staff is super friendly, they are extremely patient, and presentation is EVERYTHING- they really take that extra bit of time to make sure your purchases are neatly sealed.

Our order came with large cups of honey boba, puréed mangos, and puréed strawberries. The most popular drink was the mango milk tea! I was swarmed with meetings at the time I picked up the order.

I ordered my drink 27 minutes ago and am still waiting. So much for getting home at a reasonable time. At about 16 min in, they gave us our order but had put Oreo in both teas instead of just in my son's. I don't like Oreo in my drinks (weird mushiness) so I asked to switch for what I had originally ordered. Unfortunately, though I already checked in with them once, they made more than a dozen others' tea that came in way after we did before starting to correct mine. Now they are out of boba, I think. My son has already finished his and is waiting in the car. My Apple transaction now says it went through 30 minutes ago... but now they just handed me a drink that again, isn't what I asked for. I give up. I'll drink it. Won't see ya here.

    Yum!! I love fresh sugarcane juice, and I think this is the best spot for it. You can tell the…read morejuice is very fresh since they make it on the spot. My favorite is the kumquat sugarcane juice. The kumquat adds a bright, refreshing note that keeps it from being overly sweet with just a hint of sourness. We also tried the pure sugarcane juice to compare, and it was delicious too, though definitely much sweeter on its own. It does cost a bit more to get it without ice, but we opted for that since I cannot finish it in one sitting and it keeps better in the fridge this way. This spot is located inside a large food mall with plenty of other shops. Easy to grab and go, or there are tables available if you want to enjoy your drink there!

Ninh Kieu is pretty well-known for their fresh pressed sugarcane juice (made when you order!!) and also got a bunch of specialty healthy juice combos. I went on a Saturday around lunch time and it wasn't too busy, waited like 5 mins for two drinks. My all-time go-to is the OG sugarcane juice with kumquat... soooo refreshing, sweet with that little citrus kick, just hits every time. I also brought my bestie with me and it was her first time trying sugarcane juice ever, and she loves strawberry so I got her that flavor... tell me why she got OBSESSED. She literally finished the whole thing in 30 mins and was still talking about it 2 days later saying she was craving it again lol. Price is pretty average compared to other spots, nothing crazy, but the quality is always consistent and fresh which I appreciate.

I remembered Hien Khanh Dakao opened recently and decided to stop by. The inside of the shop is small, though the seating arrangement inside looked roomy with bar seating against the window, tables, and even a bench. The decor and ambiance were very floral and inviting as well. The shop was completely empty when I arrived aside from a lady behind the counter who appeared to be eager to take my order. Since soursop is somewhat hard to find on a menu anywhere, I decided to order the Soursop Snowhite under blended drinks (I'm not sure if the misspelling was intentional or not). This was one of the two most expensive items on the menu and came out to $10.95 after tax, which is quite pricey for a simple smoothie without anything added to make the price justifiable. My drink was ready in about five minutes. If I had to guess, the cup size used was 16 oz with overflow in the cap. The drink had the soursop flavor I was hoping for and the texture was thick, but fortunately not overly thick that it was hard to suck out of a straw. However, I only noticed smalls bits of soursop as if only a small amount of real fruit was used and the rest of the flavoring was artificial or filler. For $10.95 I was definitely expecting more in terms of quality and I felt ripped off getting this smoothie. Perhaps I should've played it safe and ordered a che dessert or one of their special drinks. I'm not sure if Hien Khanh Dakao gets busy during peak dining hours or on weekends, but I could see why I was the only customer during the time of my visit. I think I would've had a better experience if the pricing was not much higher than drinks from other businesses in Vietnam Town. I think I'll purchase a drink from one of the many other competing drink spots the next time I'm in the area.
