I wish I took better pictures. I'm surprised I enjoyed Mekong Sandwiches as much as I did! There's nothing to write home about the ambiance of this place, but it's heavily Vietnamese-influenced and workers are very warm/welcoming. I felt right at home again, coming from the SGV in California. Bread is crispy, veggies are tart (although they could do with some more tartness), and meat was abundant. Pate and mayo came in good amounts as well. Vietnamese coffee here was alright, I wouldn't rave about it. But the sandwich though, amazing! read more

Pro-tip: Closes pretty early at 7 PM and closed on Wednesdays! Highlights: The sandwiches are pretty good, it's a decent price, and they come out pretty quickly. Lowlights: A lot of people say this is the best banh mi sandwich in Arizona so I went in with high expectations and I do think they felt short. It's a good sandwich, but I don't think it's exceptional. It's the only banh mi sandwich I've had that has raw onions and I wasn't a fan. 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

Hands down, the best banh mi I've had anywhere in Arizona. Actually better than anything in Little Saigon in SoCal too. I got the grilled pork. First, the baguette was just perfect. Crusty but soft, airy but dense. Just a perfect roll. The meat was super moist and fresh (unlike the dried, overcooked stuff you get at other Phoenix banh mi joints). Flavorful and plentiful. The veggies were correct (daikon, cucumber, carrot, cilantro, jalapeño). All super fresh. It's just th perfect sandwich. And if you REALLY want to be blown away, order a pork pate chaud. It will BLOW YOU AWAY. Best Vietnamese food in Phoenix. read more

Definitely a solid choice when looking for Vietnamese sandwiches. We had the grilled pork and cold cuts. The bread is delicious and everything was fresh. Service was friendly and fast. My only reason for 4 star vs 5 stars maybe the sandwich could have been a little bit more filled up with either meat or veggies. I will go back and try other sandwiches and hopefully that will sway me, to give one more star :) 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

Mekong Sandwiches - 3. Grilled Beef / Bò Nướng - Vietnamese Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

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

Great and fast service. Food was amazing. Had the #3 beef sandwich and a mango smoothie.

My friend brought me a sandwich from here to work and I've been dreaming of it ever since. I'll be going back today to get another one. The meat was tender and perfect. The vegetables crispy and fresh, the dressing delicious and the bread roll so fresh....6 stars if I could! 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 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

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

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

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 - vegetarian - Vietnamese Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

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

Mekong Sandwiches - #9 Vegetarian / Bì Chay Vegetarian (tofu) - Vietnamese Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

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

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

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

The grilled pork banh mi was very tasty and refreshing on a warm day here in AZ. This establishment has the best sandwiches in the valley.

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
