I always drive by when I get my water refilled and the line is out the door. No line today!!! I ordered K's breakfast sandwich. It's a croissant with ham, bacon, eggs, cheese. 1st let's talk about the size. Holy moly it's bigger than my hand. It has lots of ham, good amount of eggs and 2 slices of bacon. When you get a bit with bacon it's perfect. Without bacon the eggs could use some salt. Over all really taste Ordering is confusing as there are 2 lines. One for sandwiches and one for the little Asian convenient store. I took the item to go which most people did but they have many inside and outside tables. They also have a bar with stools around the entire inside. Lots parking that is shared with many businesses. Over all very happy. read more

Solid banh mi spot for San Diego. I'll be honest, I wasn't a fan at first, I used to prefer A Chau Restaurant or Avian Water, but lately I've found myself choosing K Sandwiches first. The ingredients just seem fresher, and it really makes a difference. The K Special is my go-to, it always hits. I also love that they have a bunch of other good food and drinks to grab while you're there, not just banh mi. And being close to Wushiland Boba is a huge plus for me. I usually call ahead to order and it makes pickup super quick and easy. Big parking lot too with lots of other food spots around, so it's convenient overall. Definitely grown on me and now it's one of my regular spots. read more

Drove up specifically to K sandwiches because I woke up craving a Banh Mi, and although there are plenty of sandwich shops in Claremont/Kearny area, nothing beats this classic, traditional spot that has remained standing through the test of time. I loved K sandwiches when I was 18 before the remodeling, and I still love them 15+ years later. A San Diego staple you can't miss! Ps: There were no water bottles in the fridge to purchase, just a ton of sweet beverages. It'd be nice if someone would restock water bottles in their fridge at all times. And finally, I didn't see anyone cleaning tables or keeping up with maintaining the dining area clean. There was a lot of food on the ground, and every table had bread crumbs. So water, and staff cleaning at all times would be great. read more

K Sandwiches - Banh Mi - Sandwiches Near Me - San Diego, California

I've been coming here since my kids was little. I love their pastry and would often buy it for gifts for the teacher or my doctors. The bahn mi is sooo good! They also some Vietnamese dessert that's also delicious. It's really hard to find che in SD. I'm glad that they have some variety. Service is always excellent. They are so quick with getting my food and drinks made. I always come in the afternoon where it's a bit more quiet. The place is big with parking in the front so it's nice and convenient. Good place to get your snackies and coffee or other drinks. read more

K Sandwiches - Sandwiches Near Me - San Diego, California

Usually hit or miss... but mostly a hit when I'm starving and just want a banh mi to fix my life for a second. I still think about the pickled daikon and carrots from here. They're cut thicker than most spots which gives that really satisfying crunch. K Sandwiches has been around for years and is kind of a staple in this area. It's one of those reliable sandwich spots people have been going to forever. I remember coming here as a child with my family and a lot has changed since then. They now offer way more drinks, both handcrafted and bottled, plus a bigger selection of snacks and hot foods. I even found a bag of gummies I've been looking for everywhere... even H Mart didn't have them. Felt like I found treasure for $2.50, which is honestly one of those little wins in life. There are kiosks you can order from, or you can go up to the register, especially if you're paying cash or grabbing snacks and drinks. It was fairly busy around 1:30pm, which makes sense with all the nearby schools and businesses. We got the pate only banh mi and the #12 pork patty (nem nuong). I liked the kiosk ordering because you can customize everything. I added extra pickles and cilantro, and there's even an option to add sliced white onions which I appreciated. Both sandwiches were solid, but not as good as I remembered. The pickles didn't have that same punch. The brine leaned more light and slightly sweet, and I wish it had more acidity to balance out the richness of the pate and mayo. The cilantro was fresh overall, but some stems had a bit of browning which didn't affect taste too much, just the look. I also asked for both sandwiches to be cut in half but only one was. The bread didn't feel as fresh either.None of these are huge issues on their own, but together they do take away from what could've been a really great banh mi. I'll probably still come back when the craving hits, but it's one of those spots that can be really good... just not always consistent. read more

K Sandwiches has been my go-to spot since high school. It's always a must for banh mi and drinks whenever I'm craving something quick and nostalgic. My usual order? Dac biet banh mi, sesame balls, and a Thai tea with boba. Dac biet banh mi (10/10): Your classic banh mi done right. They toast the bread without you even having to ask (which I love), and I always add jalapeños for that extra kick. Sesame balls (10/10): The best under-$2 snack. Red bean filling, perfectly chewy, and super satisfying. Just make sure you go early -- they make a limited batch and sell out fast. Thai tea with boba (10/10): Delicious and nostalgic every time. The size for the price is so worth it. Service is always quick and efficient, prices are reasonable, and the shop is always clean. K Sandwiches will forever be a staple for me. read more

I think the last time I was here was before the building burned down. Now, after rebuilding years later, I came back to visit and got some banh mi. It's been a long, long time! I got the #1 banh mi and it was fresh and delicious. They have two kiosks on the left side now so if you want, you could put in the order yourself or you can wait in the line for a cashier. Most people ordered from the cashier. I wanted to grab some pastries too, but knew I would be ordering 3 banh mis to last me a couple of days, so I didn't want to be a piggy. I ate one and it was filling and satisfied and saved the other two for later! I enjoyed my sandwich at the shop and it didn't look like anyone was bussing or cleaning so I wiped the table off myself before eating my sandwich. They don't have napkins out so I only got my napkins that came in the bag that they put my sandwiches in. read more

I ordered a spicy mayo shrimp sandwich because I was abstaining from meat but got one with shredded pork. I took it for lunch while taking a test, so I couldn't get other food.

Plenty of parking, dining tables & chairs. read more

K Sandwiches - #9 Grilled Pork (Thit Nuong) - Sandwiches Near Me - San Diego, California

Banh mi was alright--the bread had a firm bite and lacked the crispy flakiness and the toppings/pate were nothing special. I really liked the pickled veggies, but the jalapeno had no spice to it. Viet coffee was really good, def bang for your buck because it's super strong and not majority ice like how other banh mi spots do it. I'd come back for the drinks and other miscellaneous things they sell here, like the to-go meals, pastries, and $2 bag of banh mi ends (which I think is genius and very not wasteful of them to do). read more

This is my go to place for yummy pastries!! I love anything cream cheese filled. They have strawberry, blueberry, and regular cream cheese filled. They also have a variety of mini pastries that are good for bringing to gatherings! It's a quick and easy shop to just grab and go. You can also order food such as sandwiches for lunch or breakfast. They are made to order and given to you in a timely manner. They have indoor and outdoor seating. With the indoor seating having windows to look out from. Overall, it's an easy place to grab a quick snack and go! read more

Came back to this place after moving 2 years ago and the pastries are exactly how I remember them! Sooo delicious! The prices have definitely gone up which is a bummer and they're still not super filled (like the chocolate croissant) but I've always loved how they turned out regardless. I also got a veggie Bahn Mi and it's exactly how I remember it also! I highly suggest adding a dressing to it so it doesn't taste as dry. Customer service was typical- nice people, rang me up and I was on my way. They have a decent amount of a seating area, it's clean, parking can be tight sometimes Can't wait to be back! read more

Stopped by K sandwiches after trying the nearby Drip Beans (viet coffee shop) for lunch. Picked up a grilled beef BahnMi sandwich. The shop was packed as it was lunch time but the sandwich was ready in about five minutes. The bread was fresh and toasted well. The beef was cut thick and well seasoned with a healthy serving of pickled veggies and cilantro. Great place to stop for banh mi if in the neighborhood. Plenty of parking available as well. read more

K Sandwiches - #10 Grilled Beef (Bo Nuong) - Sandwiches Near Me - San Diego, California

K Sandwiches is a small, longstanding Viet deli based in Linda Vista. It is considered a staple among many SD locals. PARKING: Decently-sized parking lot that is shared with neighboring small businesses. Somehow I have never had an issue finding a spot, but I can see how it could easily get filled up during peak lunch hours. SERVICE (3.75/5): Pretty straightforward and direct. There are usually two or three cashiers at the front. Near the snacks and refrigerated drinks, there are two kiosks for self-checkout. Given how much foot traffic the shop gets, it's a very nice upgrade! FOOD (3.43/5): Although they are mainly known for their banh mi, their offerings are quite extensive. They have egg rolls, che (Vietnamese umbrella term for dessert drinks and soups), grab-and-go meals, and so much more. It's more than just a deli; it feels like stepping into a bodega :) Occasionally when I'm in the area, I like to drop by and go for one of their grab-and-go meals when I'm hungry -- they are tasty and very affordable. I like their banh uot (rice rolls w/ a savory ground pork/wood ear mushroom filling), banh uot cu cai (rice rolls w/ a savory turnip filling), banh it tran (thick round rice dumplings w/ a savory ground pork filling), xoi man (savory sticky rice) and com tam (broken rice w/ assorted meats and veggies). I also like to add a pate-so (flaky meat pie) and/or a banh tieu (fried hollowed sweet bread) if they're available. I think they make some of the best in SD! I actually don't get their banh mis or egg rolls, as I prefer to get those elsewhere ... but I do think they are decent for a quick bite. I would not recommend their che sam bo luong (sweet herbal soup) or their che hot e (sweet basil drink w/ colored jellies). Compared to other Viet places, their's are cloyingly sweet. OVERALL: There is something for everyone here. They also have plenty of indoor seating and some outdoor seating, which is something you don't see at a lot of Viet delis. read more

Haven't been here in years. Always a favorite. Inside is nice and renovated. Plenty of seating but always full. The spring roll was fresh and delicious. The banh mi bread was a good size (some places are all bread). The baguette was crispy on the outside and warm/soft on inside. Meats were delicious. Veggies fresh and crispy. All around the best Banh Mi. I'll drive to SD for these. Staff was quick to place order. There are even self order stations. read more

We got the special and grilled pork. The bread was delicious the crunchy veggie was nice but the meat ratio is sad. They're pretty stingy with protein portion which we're not used to. 3/5 for their banh mi, too pricey for the portion. 4/5 for their ham and cheese croissant. Very filling and flavorful. Price was also reasonable. Loved that they have a variety of food, snacks and drinks. Would stop by again but not for their banh mi. Nice service, spacious restaurant, can dine inside or out. Overall 3.5 stars. read more

I haven't eaten at this place in a while. I always loved it. But today has changed my mind. My wife got the Grilled Pork Spring Rolls. Well as she bit into a roll. She felt something chewy. It was a Band Aid. Yes, a band aid. This shows that they do not wear gloves when making these rolls. The person that lost the band aid, should have removed all products that they worked on, at least. I will not come back again read more

I was in the mood for a Vietnamese Sandwich and tried this place for the first time. It was super busy at noon. I had the grilled beef Banh Mi. It was packed with beef. Only thing missing was I forgot to ask for hot sauce . The sandwich was actually bigger than I expected . Also tried the blueberry sweet croissant . It was nice and flaky and I had to get the Vietnamese Ice Coffee. Everything was delicious Looks of Asian grocery store items to choose from. It was hard to see some items due to boxes blocking the aisles. If you're looking for a good Banh Mi sandwich I would highly recommend. read more

The ambiance is friendly and clean. Ohh and the mocha freeze anytime you need a sweet boost. read more

This is my 1st time back here since the fire so it's been a long while to say the least. I only used to come since it was conveniently located across the street when I used to attend Kearny many moons ago lol I just never come since I don't frequent this area and if I do it wouldn't be for banh mi and when I used to come before I remember their banh mis weren't the best. It lacked in flavor although bigger sandwich bread. This is a to-go grab and go place. They have freshly made banh mis made to order and usually premade foods out on display. I did get here late today close to closing so a lot of items weren't available. I was still able to snag a banh cuon tray for almost $9.50 which is kind of pricey for the amount given, since I'm used to City Heights. I also go cha ga for $6.50 to eat with random stuff. My son got the grilled pork spring rolls for $6 not bad. read more

I pass by this shop very often after I started playing pickleball and had been wondering how the banh mi was. My friends were in town visiting, and we decided to finally check it out! It's located in the huge building in the corner of the Kearny Square plaza on the intersection of Linda Vista Rd and Mesa College Dr. Very hard to miss as it's the biggest individual shop building in the plaza. There's a parking lot with ample stalls. I got their K's Special Combo banh mi, and my boyfriend got their Chinese Sausage with Egg banh mi. The banh mi were huge! A great deal honestly. But it seemed like it was lacking their pickled vegetables... sad. We split our huge sandwiches for us to try both. The special combo was yummy! Flavorful and packed with a variety of different proteins. I thought it lacked a bit of pate which usually was the one that brought out the flavor of the combo banh mi. The Chinese sausage with egg was good. The egg added to the sausage and wasn't as "boring" LOL. But the flavor didn't wow me as it was just those two things. The bread wasn't my favorite as it was the kind of French bread that hurts the roof of your mouth. Overall, this shop was a relatively good place for banh mis. The amount I got for the price spent was quite good! Would definitely want to come back for their other banh mis or maybe try their sandwiches. read more

Placed an online order with ease The location was lively and a great surprise as I was really early for a doctor's appointment and needed a place for lunch just before noon near the dr office. I can imagine they get very busy as two cashiers were ready and awaiting instructions. I could have stayed with plenty of seats No dedicated online pick up area so I went to cashiers. I had my order number and she quickly fetched the sandwich and sent me on my way Fresh, new and clean designed restaurant. There is a good selection on the menu but plenty of items to grab and go including fresh baked goods read more

This has been on the list of places to try for a while, but we're almost never in the area. Finally stopped in FTO pick up a quick lunch and we were greeted with a busy Saturday afternoon, snacks and baked goods galore, and of course, an extensive Banh mi menu. I like there are options to order at the counter or order from a touch screen menu. I also like there are plenty of premade foods, sides and dessert available to pick up and go. We ordered a ham and cheese croissant and the #9 pork Banh mi sandwich, and it was so quick to order and pick up the sandwich! The croissant was bigger than my head, filling and fluffy. The Banh mi was massive, easily from my elbow to fingertips. I had a second meal from the sandwich it was amazing. The pork was cooked and seasoned so well, plenty of veg and the bread was so good! I did end up buying a small container of pickled daikon and carrots to go for the added veggies for later and they did not disappoint. I think it was $4.50 for a 16oz container. If you're in the area, I highly recommend stopping here, as I definitely will be back to try more! read more

Drove from North county just to check this place out. The food was amazingly delicious. We ordered the grilled beef banh mi and banh mi dac biet. Both were delish!

Pork egg rolls were delicious. Next time I'll try their drinks read more

The best bahn mi in San Diego. That said, I still prefer my favorites from Orange County (Bahn Mi Che Cali in the old CMU building on Brookhurst and Top Baguette on Bolsa). Too far to drive currently, however. However you look at it, this place is stand up for its bahn mi. Their pastries are also a good option as well. I generally get the grilled pork or the grilled chicken. Do note that they do not cut in half and you will have to ask for that if so desired. Enjoy. read more

I've been coming here off and on for the past decade and enjoy just as much. Recently ordered my usual, the grilled chicken with no jalapeños and no cilantro, after not being back in years, and it's still amazing. Loved every single bite of it. I was surprised at how much the price increased! Almost $9 and based on my last review from over 7 years ago, it used to be less than $4. Crazy! It's like that everywhere now so I'm not surprised. This place was super busy before lunch on a weekday. Sandwich took about 10 min to be ready. Service is friendly. They have so many other snacks and pastries to check out. read more

Im pissed. Pissed because i stumbled onto this place after living down the road for two years! LOL A friend of mine had used this as a landmark to get to my place because she always forgot my address. She said its a staple in this community because of the college around the area. I made a mental note to try it because i enjoy banh mi sandwiches. Decided to come here on a Sunday morning and for some reason, when i walked in, i already knew i would like it. They have a variety of sandwiches to choose from at reasonable prices. They also offer hot/cold beverages (smoothies, boba, coffee etc). There is a small bakery in the back that looks so delicious. A small section of asian snacks and an area of cold canned beverages. There is also another cold section of Vietnamese desserts. There is also a small hot section where they sell spring rolls and other snackies. Theres a good amount of seating if you choose to eat there. I opted for a grilled chicken minus the jalepenos because i cant handle spicy lol i originally was going to take it to go but when i saw how big it was, decided to eat there while it was fresh. First of all, big sandwich. Plenty of meat. The bread had the right amount of crunch. Daikon and carrot were yummy. Cilantro was a little out of control so i took most of it out but it was still delicious. I said, il eat half now, half later. No, my fatass ate everything. Plenty of free parking. il definitely be back to try other stuff and the bakery! read more

Came back to K Sandwiches when we were in town for work. The sandwiches are still great at a reasonable price... ~$8 each. Unfortunately they ran out of chicken, but glad my wife could get tofu as a substitute. We didn't get mayo in any of our sandwiches, not sure if you have to opt in on that, but that left the sandwiches a little dry. Always surprised by their quality bakery and deli options.

So much so that I buy a container of them from their refrigerated section to add to my food. They also offer baked goods that are 10/10! We always get the ham and cheese & chocolate croissants. I love their drink selection and appreciate the packaged snacks they display in the middle of the restaurant. This place is a must if you're in San Diego! read more
