    Beef Bahn mi extra meat as pictured
    Theresa S.

    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

    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.

    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

    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!

    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!

    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!

    Mekong special - like a deli meat sandwich.
    Eliza O.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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 :)

    First time coming here after hearing lots of positive comments about this place. Lived up to its reputation :). I got the vegetarian w/o cilantro and onions & it was very flavorful and yummy. Generous amount of toppings. Bread was crunchy and warm. Also came out super fast.

    #9 Vegetarian / Bì Chay Vegetarian (tofu)
    Gretel Y.

    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!

    I'm honestly really disappointed with my experience at Saigon Jade. I'm still trying to figure out…read morewhat we paid for here. My aunt was served a bowl that was dirty on the outside (yes... the bowl, not just the table -- see the photo I attached). Not exactly appetizing... and she didn't eat it at all, it was completely untouched. We told the staff immediately, and instead of, I don't know.. like maybe apologizing or replacing it like a normal restaurant?.. They basically said it was our fault and still charged us for the untouched dish. So just to confirm: you can serve dirty dishes and still get paid? That is a interesting business model, I've never seen anything like it! Then they hit us with a 20% service fee, which is honestly kind of iconic considering the service was: * ignoring customers * denying what we clearly told them * and charging us anyway Like... thank you for the experience I guess??? And to top it off, after I actually ate there, I had the worst stomach ache and diarrhea. So NOT only do you pay for food you don't eat, you might also leave with a free health issue! LOVE THAT!!! As someone who is Vietnamese, this was just embarrassing. You expect better standards, better hospitality, and at the very least... clean bowls??? Overall, if you enjoy paying for untouched food, being gaslit, and risking your stomach, this is your place. Otherwise, I'd look for somewhere else to eat.

    I've came to Saigon Jade a couple of times now and I have to say, this might be one of my go to pho…read morespots now. The first time I had it, I actually couldn't stop thinking about it because I was genuinely surprised with how good it was. I also noticed that they are very consistent with the taste of the broth. Usually when I get pho, the broth doesn't always taste the same but here at Saigon it does. The broth is very rich and savory. I also noticed they add a lot of noodles which I love but I also wish they added more broth. The meat is also very tender, I always go with the brisket and it always tastes great. I personally like my soup to have extra green onion, unfortunately if you do ask for extra there is a charge of $2. I also recommend the egg rolls, they're packed with flavor and honestly it's just a good appetizer to have before your pho. The restaurant itself is beautiful and very spacious. Every time I've gone there's never any wait. The service has also been great, I've had maybe 1 time where it wasn't as great but it was still good. The food always comes out fresh and very hot. Overall, I love this restaurant so much and I will continue coming back!

When our grandsons and their Dad came by later that day, I asked them if they were willing to try Vietnamese food. We gave them a description as to what Pho was and let them know that there were other items on the menu besides Pho. They all were willing to give it a try. One grandson didn't come along as he has a part-time job and had to work that day. Once we all entered the restaurant, we were greeted and seated. I ordered my usual Pho Ga and my husband plus our son-in-law also had the same thing. One grandson ordered a Pho that had beef in it. The other grandson isn't a fan of soups so he ordered a fried rice and chicken meal. The Pho portion was very generous and the aromatics were fresh. Everyone who had Pho enjoyed their meal. Our grandson, who got the chicken and fried rice, liked his meal. The ambiance is that of a casual place with some artwork on the walls. If we lived nearby, we would gladly go here again. The staff was friendly and attentive without being overbearing.

    I've had pho from here twice but both times were a bit different from each other…read more The first time we came in we ordered an order of spring rolls, I got pho, my mom got a Vermicelli noodle bowl and we also both got a thai tea. It was the closest pho spot to us at the time & it did it's job at satisfying our craving. The next time we stopped by we came here because it was the only place that stayed open a bit later than other spots. Our pho, thai tea, & black tea were good but for some reason our appetizers (wontons & egg rolls) were way too greasy and not very flavorful.

However, the inside of the restaurant does not look like it's been in the family for years as it's very well kept. All three dishes we got here were amazing and quite huge for the price! It's worth sharing with the table to try different dishes! The house pan fried noodles were soo good but it's best you eat them at the restaurant since the crispy noodles will get soggy if you order take-out. They also have an employee who makes pies and they sell them in house. The slices were huge for $7 or so! They had peanut butter chocolate and coconut!
