I've been here several times but can't believe I haven't written a review! We swung by today to get the Mekong Combo Banh Mi Combo. We got the matcha milkshake for the drink. For my banh mi, I always ask for veggies on the side! It was busy when we went and only one person working the front. The guy did a great job handling everything. The banh mi here is solid and i definitely recommend it over Lee's Sandwiches. read more

It's a good-sized sandwich and perfect for a quick bite! I got the MeKong Special along with a Vietnamese coffee, and both were great. I always enjoy coming here when I'm craving a banh mi. If you're in the area and looking for a good banh mi, I definitely recommend stopping by. I came in during the afternoon, and it wasn't very busy, so the service was quick and easy. read more

Mekong Sandwiches - 1. Mekong Special / Đặc Biệt - Vietnamese Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

I stopped in with my daughter to grab sandwiches for me and my husband. The girl at the front suggested the Chinese BBQ pork for me, and my husband ordered the grilled beef. When we got home, we realized we had two grilled beef sandwiches instead. They were honestly so good... no complaints at all, but I was definitely excited to try the BBQ pork. Just gives us a reason to come back. I also ordered a matcha (they were out of the Blue Tiger I wanted) and my daughter got a brown sugar drink. Same thing. The order was wrong. My daughter wanted a different Boba, but she did not complain. She said it was good and ate most of my boba. Haha read more

Was recommended by a friend to try this place since I love banh mi's and I'm so upset that I hadn't tried it until now! This may be my favorite spot to get a banh mi in AZ. I got the lemongrass grilled beef and it was so flavorful. Everything tasted fresh. The bread itself was also fluffy and soft. I hate when the bread is too crunchy and tears up the roof of your mouth in the process of eating, but this one was quite the opposite. I will DEFINITELY be back when I'm in the area! read more

I love mekong sandwhiches and love how it's in the mekong plaza!! The #3 grilled beef banh mi was good. The meat is so juicy and tender and has great flavor. I also love how they sell a lot of Vietnamese snacks and food there. It's really nice to see the typical vietnamese snacks and desserts, sesame balls, pate, and sticky rice. We got their sesame balls and it was delicious. Service is very quick and efficient - comes out within 5 minutes. They also take card! read more

Recently discovered this place within the past two months. And I must say out front this place is better than Lee's Sandwiches. I did grow up with those sandwiches and I must say it is very nostalgic, however, the bread here is much softer than it doesn't tear up the roof of your mouth when you eat it. We always have a large order when we come in, but the staff is always very nice and accommodating to our larger order as well as placing veggies on the side since some of our sandwiches we eat at later time. Very clean and nice with a easy layout. It's a small shop, but it definitely gets the job done. Will continue to come back here again and again. read more

Traveling through Arizona and thanks to other Yelp reviewers, we found this place to grab a couple of bahn mi sandwiches and a drink. Thanks Yelpers! Friendly service and a nice restaurant with a good amount of seating inside and outside. They have a good selection of drinks and food items. The store itself also has a lot of snack items for sale. Highly recommend this place if you're in Mesa Arizona and craving some good Vietnamese food. read more

Mekong Sandwiches is located on the outside perimeter of the Mekong Plaza. My friend wanted an iced Vietnamese coffee before leaving the plaza. Mekong Sandwiches offers this. We sat outside for a bit, and it was warm. She had to go down the coffee before it got too warm too. Shared parking outside read more

I still LOVE Mekong Sandwiches but admittedly, the prices have gone up, doubled even- from $4.85 in 2021 to ~$8 in 2024/2025. The su da is about $5, so the combo is $14. There is less meat than I remember, and it's always on one side of the sandwich (left). It was $2 to add an egg to my sandwich today. I'll still support them because: 1. It's a fresh Bahn mi, 2. it's convenient, 3. Support small! read more

Mekong Sandwiches - #3 Grilled Beef, add egg ($2)= $11 - Vietnamese Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Traveling through AZ and saw all the good reviews. Got a golden milk tea and it's really good! Didn't even know it came with boba - happy surprise! Got the Mekong special sandwich which is their version of a deli meat combo. The meat and veggie ratio was good, with a lot of meat. I would like a little more pate, but it was tasty. (You can add more pate for $1.). Also had the pork sandwich. It was good too, but I preferred the Mekong. The guy at the counter was friendly and helpful with a few questions we had. It's located in what appears to be the Asian district of town and is bright and roomy, with some small tables for dining in. There's a large counter with a lot of other food items not on the menu. Also a restroom for customers. My favorite Bahn Mi is actually in Vegas, but this was a good find. Next time we're in this part of AZ, I'm coming here for my Bahn Mi fix. read more

Stopped by for a quick bite. It is located within the Mekong plaza which can be quite busy but it's definitely worth the visit. We ordered the #2 which was the pork sandwich . It's reasonably priced and quite delicious. The bread was so fresh and soft. The sandwich spot also offers other tasty snacks.. the seating area is available and was clean. Would love to come back! read more

I still love this place, always so delicious. I have had a few sandwiches that I didn't love there, but overall this place still easily has the best sandwiches that I have ever tried in Phoenix, and I think I've been to every alternative. They are also fast, always busy, and it has a very casual, no-frills, café vibe. Highly recommended! read more

This place is gonnabe leave me with some memories. I was recommended by this place by my cousin, whom I haven't seen for 25 years. We met up here, the vibes were chill and simple. Just the way I liked it! I ordered the standard, Banh Mi Dac Biet, The prices were reasonable, nothing crazy. The sandwiches came out fast and the roll tasted fresh. The main different thing about their Bahi Mi, is that it has red onions, it was slivered either, it was cubed, like for chili. We were there for a good hour before I had to go on the plane. I even ordered some sandwiches too go to bring back! Overall, I would come here again! read more

Not sure what has changed, ordered 2 sandwiches one with extra meat as pictured, but had the same amount as mine, my boyfriend was not impressed, the bread was a tad bit too crunchy and these weren't as good as I remembered, I got the combo with a Vietnamese coffee, which was terrible, I threw it away and yes I know what Vietnamese coffee tastes like. This was bitter and had a weird taste. Overall this has gone down since my last visits read more

Mekong Sandwiches - Beef Bahn mi extra meat as pictured - Vietnamese Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Not just my favorite banh mi, but my favorite SANDWICH in all of AZ. I have been going here for a few years, and felt compelled to make another visit after a disappointment at Lee's Sandwiches. I love their grilled pork banh mi, and they have an extra meat option which I always take. All the sandwiches are super reasonably priced as well. Every time I order, it has never taken longer than 5 minutes to receive; they make everything super fast. That being said, the meat and bread are always hot and the vegetables are always fresh and crisp. I have ordered just their bread before, it's really delicious and has a nice crisp outside and soft inside. The restaurant is always clean and there is a lot of seating. read more

I think I've just found my favorite banh mi place in town. Extremely reasonable price and portion, and the bread! The bread isn't hard as other places and still crispy on the outside, it was the best! It has always been the downside of eating banh mi because the bread is like a jaw workout and half way through it you are exhausted, but no more! Also extra shout out that they clicked away the tipping screen themselves when paying. This actually made me wanted to tip because today's tipping culture is out of control. I can always get behind a shop with good business practices. I think I'll be coming here a lot more. read more

Oh my gosh, I think I just found my new favorite Banh Mi! And it's so much closer to my house! What a fantastic day. That's sweet barbecue pork, with the perfect ratio of bread, to vegetable, to meat, chefs kiss! The French bread here was so soft And not overbearing with a perfect crunchy crust. read more

Bahn Mi at Mekong Sandwiches is so good. They make fresh when they get order, french bread is crunchy yet soft and their fillings are good. Though they put a lot of cilantro, I can just remove them myself. Everyone is friendly, and there are plenty of sittings inside. They have other pre-maid food items, you can just grab and go as well! Perfect for easy and satisfying lunch or to-go for hiking :) read more

Mekong Sandwiches would get higher than full stars if possible. By far, without a question, the best banh mi I have ever had. I come here at minimum weekly as my most frequented food. Grilled chicken banh mi and bbq pork banh mi are the regular (split with the wife). The meat is tasty, the pate is amazing and generous, and the vegetables are perfect. I have tried to find other banh mi that compares, but they have never even been as good as an "off day" at Mekong let alone their a-game days. read more

Needed a big snack while running an errand at Mekong Plaza. I was in the mood for banh mi, but wanted to make sure they had a meatless option. I checked their menu and was ecstatic to find that they offer a vegetarian tofu option! I was greeted by a staff member behind the counter as soon as I entered. I got there after the lunch rush, so it wasn't packed, which was nice. The place was clean, and there was plenty of seating. I went for the #9 Vegetarian / Bì Chay Vegetarian, which comes with dried tofu, dried yam, and carrots. It was so tasty, and the bread had just the right crunch. This reminded me how much I've missed banh mi! It had been forever since I had one because most spots don't offer a vegetarian option. Now I know where to go when the craving hits! read more

Best Vietnamese sandwiches that I have tried to so far. Although really sad I ordered the Bo nuong and ended up with thit heo. I didn't realize til I got home. Definitely recommend the Bo nuong (beef) sandwich and I love the combination. I've been back twice already and always order sandwiches to take home. Bread is baked in house along with other Vietnamese dishes such as tre, nem, fish cake, sesame balls etc. The Bo nuong gets five stars from me read more

I always crave banh mi when I travel to new cities. There sandwiches were in the top 5. The portion is large. Bread was fresh and flakey, but a little on the hard side. Good amount of meat and vegetables were fresh. Their mayo butter and pate was delicious. Service was quick and my sandwich was ready in a few minutes. There were about 6-8 tables if you did not want to take your food to-go. read more

I can't name a better banh mi sandwich in town. Fresh baked bread. Premium ingredients. Its about as legit as it gets.

Absolutely craveable sandwiches. The pickled vegetables really cut through the savoryness of the meat. Service is prompt and friendly. Ambiance is your typical asian eatery. Will come back often read more

Their Bhan Mi sandwiches are so good! Definitely will be coming back! Great customer service too..

This place has been recommended to me so many times as a place for a great tofu banh mi! I was finally able to stop in today. They had two vegetarian options which was awesome- one sandwich with tofu and one with eggs. Service was quick and great, and the sandwich was a great size for its price of around 9$. The veggies and tofu were delicious but the bread was a little hard. I'll definitely be back- this was so yummy! read more

Mekong Sandwiches was recommended to me by my friend Don, who owns Banhdicted in Tucson as one of his favorite banh mi places in Phoenix. And after going there today I can see why. I ordered the bbq pork sandwich, no pate and it was delicious. The bread had a nice crunchy exterior with a soft fluffy interior. It didn't rip up the roof of my mouth like a bowl of Captain Crunch. The ingredients were fresh and they had so many different options for their sandwiches. They also had a number of other baked goods as well. The staff was friendly and got the food out quickly. With lots of indoor and outdoor seating Mekong sandwiches lives up to the hype. read more

This is the ONLY bahn mi that I will willingly drive 40 minutes to eat. Mekong Sandwiches is a quaint little over-the-counter restaurant at the corner of the Mekong Plaza. Their grilled pork bahn mi is my fave, so simple yet SO GOOD. The sandwich is hot, pork is delicious, bread is soft, plenty of veggies, and the pate and mayo are great. Service is quick and the food won't break the bank. After grocery shopping, I always stop by to fill up with half a sandwich for snack and I save the 2nd half for later! read more

Yeah, when I visit the family here from CA. I eat here at least once. It's just the best. I have never been given a bad bite of food here. Today's meal, a chicken curry bahn mi. Of course fresh bread but the curry chicken in a cup was so delicious. Curry coconut sweetness, chunky pieces of chicken, softened potatoes and onions...perfect. Be aware this one's a bit messy, you might want to try this one at home. Enough curry to use as a dip. I bought some sticky rice balls filled with mung beans for a snack later. The service, always polite. Last word... yes. read more
