    It has been awhile since I have been here and this place didn't disappoint. The spring rolls are made fresh with delicious peanut sauce. The food combo plates are cooked to perfection with delicious flavors and sides. The banh mi sandwiches are my favorite, made with fresh ingredients and a variety of protein options. The flavored teas and smoothies are a must try. The place is small so inside seating is limited but they offer outside tables to enjoy your food. The food is made to order and served up fresh and hot.

    chicken pho, chicken banh mi, and vietnamese coffee
    Shreya K.

    Food was delicious and really well priced. The vietnamese coffee is incredible. The service is fast and the people that work there are kind. Thank you for the wonderful brunch experience! This place is a gem.

    Good banh mi's probably misspelled that but it was good. Cute little place in Union City with indoor and outdoor and close to BART station. The guy there was very friendly and nice.

    Advertised Grilled Pork Sandwich

    Honestly one of the worst bánh mì experiences I've had. The sandwich looked nothing like the advertised photo and tasted just as bad as it looked. The egg had a strange rubbery layered texture like it had been frozen and thawed, the pork was bland and disintegrating, and the whole sandwich tasted stale and poorly prepared. To make matters worse, I ended up feeling sick to my stomach afterward. For nearly $13, this quality is completely unacceptable. Extremely disappointing and honestly misleading compared to what's advertised.

    It's been a while since I went to jen jon in fact I think it was before yelp times! The place looks different since probably has changed owners many times.. still though the experience was great.. and we love supporting small business in fremont.. the Vietnamese coffee was tasty. The spring rolls fresh and the chicken ban Minh awesome Now I know why they are still around.. check out this rare gem hole in the wall establishment

    1. Jenjon's Burger and 4. Passion Fruit Tea SOOOOO GOOOD !!!!!!!!
    Patricia R.

    Nice affordable small business ! Will definitely be coming back for seconds :) I got the burger and passion fruit - so good! Service was fast and ambiance was chill - laid back.

    Teriyaki chicken banh mi
    Esteban S.

    Wanted to try something different on my lunch always liked banh mi style sandwiches. Looked up the closest one. Call to make an order when I got there person working in the front didn't have the most welcoming attitude, but I understand people can't be happy 24/7. Anyways, I'd give the sandwich maybe a 6.5 or seven out of 10 was decent, but I've definitely had better for the price I paid .so overall the mid-level review.

    This café has been here for a long time, and I just tried it for the first time in my life. I didn't order a big meal, unfortunately. I just wanted to test it out. I ordered the pork eggrolls and the sexy (lol) fruit tea. Both came out quickly. The eggrolls were hot, and the tea was perfect. Not too sweet. He added fresh mint and lime to the tea, which was perfect for a hot afternoon. Next time, I want to order a proper meal and give a better review. I will definitely be back.

    My "Extra" jalapeños. This was actually total pepper slices I got!
    Marie J.

    Bahn Mi combo was okay. I asked for extra pate' and extra jalapeños, but got the extra pate', and I think extra cilantro (see photos). Only got three small slices of jalapeño in my sandwich TOTAL, but that was not a big issue. The bread was good, but too hard on the outside for me. The Thai iced tea with boba was a little too sweet, but that's my fault for not asking for less sweet when I ordered. My issue was with the boba. They were soft outside, but too firm in the middle....don't you hate that? I do! Like I said, it was okay, but didn't scratch my Bahn Mi and Thai iced tea with boba itch!! Nice little shop, and reasonably priced, but not worth it to me....Sorry.

    8. BBQ Pork Sandwich
    Christina D.

    Been coming here for years and it's always been our go to spot. Our go to order is 3 passion fruit smoothies, 3 BBQPork banhi mi, and teriyaki chicken plate with fried rice grand total $65 ish dollars. It's a super cute small establishment with out door sitting which is also our go to. Good food next to Union city bart. If your in the area if nothing else the smoothies are a MUST! Service is friendly and nice. Food comes out quick and this is hands down my kids favorite place. Menu is pretty large but I stick to what I know, havnt ventured out of our normal go to items.

    Combo banh mi
    Amanda N.

    Can't believe I haven't wrote a review. I love this hole in the wall place. They pack enough ingredients for everything, especially the banh mi. Their summer rolls were so delicious also. As a Vietnamese woman, I do appreciate quality of food and good service. Definitely a must try if you're in the area.

    Fruit drink
    Thuy N.

    Loves their earl grey and jasmine milktea, also their fruit drink.!!!!!!!! Kid approved!!!!

    Combo sandwich - veggies on the side but where is everything else? Disappointing at $7.75.

    The banh mi tasted great, the one thing to improve on was the bread. It was too hard and crunchy. I wish they toasted it a bit less.

    Do they offer alternative milks for their drinks? (Soy, oat, almond, rice milk.. etc)?

    They use nondairy milk for their milk teas but do not have nut milk as alternatives

First thing that surprised me was the size - it was certainly on the smaller side, especially compared to other sandwich places. Understandably their price is more affordable, but next time I would probably just size up. Flavor-wise, the sandwiches themselves tasted great and I had no complaints there. The issue was the bread. The Dutch crunch was a literal ROCK. On my first bite I actually had to stop and take the sandwich apart just to eat it more comfortably. I thought maybe it was just one, but both sandwiches had the same issue. Dutch crunch is usually a bit firm, but this was on another level. The mac salad and potato salad were solid for what they are, maybe a little more sour than I prefer, but still enjoyable. Huge props to the staff though. Everyone was super friendly and welcoming. The lady at the counter even apologized for the wait, but it honestly wasn't long at all, under 5 minutes for me. The person packing my order also threw in two chocolate chip cookies, which I really appreciated. Would come back to give it another shot, just hoping the Dutch crunch bread is a bit softer next time.

That alone tells you how long I've been supporting this place, and they've been consistently amazing ever since. Sourdough & Co across from Kaiser in Fremont is hands down one of my favorite spots.

Every time I walk in, I'm greeted with a smile, they know me by name, and they always make me feel appreciated (even got a free coke and soup) Thank you! That kind of genuine hospitality is rare. They've even surprised me with small freebies from time to time, which really shows how much they value their customers. Because of that, I've been more than happy to support them, I regularly recommend them to my staff and coworkers and encourage everyone to grab lunch here.

    Something made me think about Katz's Delicatessen in NYC and I suddenly craved a Pastrami sandwich…read more I was excited to find Mirchi nearby and a locally beloved pastrami with interesting ingredients. Location is near the Mirchi cafe on Fremont Blvd in the plaza right next to Wonderland smoke shop. There is plenty of parking. Staff was super nice and helped me open the stuck door that you have to pull really hard on to get in. The market is small but curated and I was drawn to the imported potato chips. I picked up a bag of Lay's Masala chips I haven't had since I was in Mumbai, excited to eat it with my sandwich. The sandwich took about 10 minutes to make and panini-press and smelled delicious. However, when I got home I immediately noticed the color and thought they had mistakenly used roast beef. I looked at some of the other reviews and their doordash image and I'm confused on what I got. The pastrami was missing the distinct reddish-pink color from brining and black bark from smoking, I'm not sure how it was prepped in-house but it tasted like roast beef. I did enjoy the blueberry jam and pepperoncini combo.

    Got this place recommended by Grub with Mike so I decided to come give them a try…read more I ordered the mozzarella chicken and grabbed a cold peach soda. They are very nice and welcoming, service was pretty fast too. The sandwich is was warm and it's cooked panini style. The bread was warm and crunchy, filled with halal chicken and some sort of mild spicy red sauce. Overall very tasty, solid 8/10. (The sandwich needs be hotter so that the cheese can actually melt). P.s. get their cilantro cream sauce! It's really good and takes the sandwich up a level. The peach soda was $3+ and worth it. Will definitely be back again :)

So I…read moredecided to come here since I was interested with it specially with how they design this place. It's quite small when I got here. I like the way they design this place since artworks are good here. There was one employee who seems to be taking over the restaurant, and he is patient and nice. I took my time to scroll over the menu since I'm new here and also they have plenty of options. They come in different sizes ranging from 4-8 inches. They sound smaller since skinnier sandwiches less than that size are small. I got an 8-inch Reuben sandwich and wow...I was expecting it to be smaller, but this is probably because of the bread they choose and how kinda packed the meat is. Now, I see why 8-inch is considered the largest. About the Reuben sandwich, it's really good and meaty. The crunchiness of the bread is on point since it's toasted very well. Also, the way he cut the sandwich was uneven since the first half of the sandwich is slightly larger than the second half. Don't know why but I guess it's part of the process. They have other options including soups, salads, and Mac & cheese. I'm looking forward to trying those including other sandwiches. Hopefully, I don't take too much time scrolling on the menu when I come back.

    I had a very disappointing experience at West Coast Sourdough in Fremont…read more I ordered two meals totaling $52.60 (after using a coupon; the regular price would have been around $60). I also paid for extra cheese on my sandwich. After leaving the restaurant and driving to a meeting, I started eating and realized the extra cheese I paid for was missing. I called the restaurant to let them know about the mistake, expecting a simple apology or an offer to make it right. Instead, the person who identified himself as the owner argued with me, insisting that the extra cheese had been added. I politely explained that it was not on my sandwich, but he continued to debate me rather than listen to his customer. Eventually, I ended the call because the conversation was going nowhere. Mistakes happen, and I understand that. What I don't understand is the lack of customer service and the unwillingness to simply acknowledge the issue and resolve it. My advice to anyone ordering here is to check your order carefully before leaving the restaurant. If something is missing, don't expect a customer-focused response if you call about it afterward.
