I'd been hearing about this place for awhile now. So I decided to stop in on my walk home one Sunday afternoon. Stopping by right around noon was probably not the best idea... it was incredibly packed. People were standing everywhere, and it was very unclear who was in line to order or who was waiting for food. It's a bit chaotic to order and pay, but it was fine. It took about 10 minutes after ordering to receive my order. I am incredibly impressed by how they keep track of what everyone ordered with so many people! I got the pork Bahn mi, and it was pretty good. Crunchy and messy bread, just like it's supposed to be. Decent amount of meat and veggies too. Good flavor. I'd go again, just maybe not at a peak time. read more

Came here to pick up food for a hike. We ordered multiple banh mi, some pate chaux, and nem nuong Maybe not the best banh mi I've ever had but I liked it even though I didn't eat it fresh right after buying it. Flavor on the pate chaux was also pretty good read more

Looking for a quick lunch, Saigon Deli, I was told is a Seattle institution that I had to check out. When telling a friend that I was stopping by here she did mention that it's a sus area and for me to be careful, which is worth putting out that warning even though the experience wasn't that sus for me. I came in with a group of 3 of us, drove and parked right up front with no issues at all. They do accept credit cards with a small fee which is great because we thought they were cash only. $6 bahn me, you can't go wrong! But I was here for their bahn knot, a mini Vietnamese pancake. This was my first time trying out this dish. I'm sure it's better hot and fresh rather than pre packaged but it was really good still. It gets busy during lunch but the line moves quickly. read more

Bring cash! As there is a small fee on cards. I came here for a banh mi but loved the other food selection they had so I had to also grab some banh cuon. This place definitely gives hole in the wall with unique and different Viet dishes that isn't always easy to find. The banh mi was good as well as the banh cuon. I'd definitely come back to get my Viet fix! read more

This place is very popular! They have a sign saying cash preferred as an fyi. You order at the counter and take it to go (no dine in tables or places to stay). They also have lots of prepackaged but made fresh items from hot and cold entrees to snacks, sides, and desserts. We just got banh mis to go. They were ready really quickly and the bread for them was excellent. The only negative was that there was a bit of an unpleasant kinda fishy smell about the place that lingered on the bag our sandwiches were in. Apologies to our neighbors on the train lol. The sandwiches themselves smelled fine and tasted great! They were also really reasonably priced. read more

Perfect food spot for lunch! And it's so cheap. You ask for what you want, pay and pick up. There are a ton of other drinks and dishes to try while you're there and they have a hot food deli too. It can get quite crowded and there is no seating there. Be prepared to pick up your order and go! It's a great pit stop before a picnic for some food to eat. read more

Fantastic sandwiches and desserts. I always get the Chè Đậu Trắng with the black eyed peas in it. The stories in a great location with parking. Quick service! read more

Great spot! Been there twice now. Love their set up. Bahn mi for under $7?! I absolutely love the spring rolls and the peanut sauce. The fact they came with a little bit of the spicy daikon in a little baggie was nice. Lovely ladies help you after you decide. Great variety. Come early kimbap sell out quick. Lunch dishes all day! I love to come here and stock up on some food for a couple days. So healthy. read more

We came here for bahn mi and display package food. This deli store has most of the Vietnamese street food. You can order different bahn mi. We got the grilled pork, 3 kind of ham and bbq ham, meat ball sandwiches. I like the most is three kind of ham. The grilled pork needs a bit sweeter. We also got some packages food. The range in different price. We got some fresh roll, rice paste roll, sweet desert. We also got some lunch special with two items protein. All food is tasty. read more

I been getting banh mi here for years now and it always hits. It's a cute little deli in the little Saigon area and they sell a lot of traditional Vietnamese food and snacks. My family has always loved their pork sausage banh mi and I love their cold cuts as that's my go to type. I also got a new item for me (don't know the name) and it was also really good and I recommend read more

The husband has made this a regular stop while living here. In addition to sandwiches , tiried the bun cha gio and goi can, both ore-packaged yet super fresh. Am taking my meatball sandwich to-go on the plane tomorrow. Based on everything else expecting a solid bahn mi. Very friendly and price point perfect. read more

Came back to pick up sandwiches again for my trip to BOS. I ordered 3 sandwiches, 2 without cilantro... got 1 made correctly. Ordered a mixed plate with beef stew and curry, received a plate with curry and sweet sour chicken. On the plus side, their spring rolls are delicious, the curry was decent, and sweet sour chicken was good... for something I never wanted. The workers aren't very friendly and the language barrier makes for incorrect orders, or they just don't care. I would suggest checking your order before you leave, this is the second out of two times my order was wrong, or made incorrectly. read more

This has been my go-to banh mi spot in Seattle, and I consider it one of the best in the city. There's a decent-sized parking area next to the deli, which is rare to find for CID/Little Saigon. The mornings are supposedly busy, but I usually end up coming during slower hours. Staff tend to be quite friendly with me, and orders come out quick. I always get the banh mi special here, but most of the banh mi's I have tried at Saigon Deli has always been perfect for when I need a quick and affordable lunch. A few days ago I got a sandwich to-go and ate it at Hing hay park, definitely recommend doing that if you're trying to adsorb the environment and culture around you. They also have other packed deli items which I've liked. Valid Vietnamese deli in my books. read more

Saigon Deli - Vietnamese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

A Little Saigon staple, OG to the max. The traffic that has come through here through the decades has been constant and still is. Place is a tad worn down from all the traffic but still solid. Based on most recent quick bite, the #3 BBQ 3 kinds Ham for $7 is easy 4 Star. Filling, crunchy, tasty, very hard to beat for $7. Not only a survivor, but still a lead runner for value that packs a punch with flavor. read more

This is one of the last places you can get true cheap eats in downtown Seattle. A bahn mi will run you around $6 and they are pretty delicious. I prefer the grilled pork over the grilled chicken but next time I'm going to try the pork belly as the grilled meats are a little chewy for me. They also have an extensive deli with hot and room temperature items. I tried a spring roll called Bo Bia it was absolutely delicious. Their traditional fresh rolls are also really good. Can't wait to go back and try more items! These places are so needed. read more

This banh mi makes me so happy. Buying it feels so vindicating to me, like something in me just relaxes paying this amount for a very very generously sized sandwich. Very nice classic banh mi, good pork, bread was soft but flaky. Brings me back to like 10 years and makes me feel like things are right in the world. I mean it's like $6 what's not to like. And they have so many other prepared foods too. read more

This has been my go-to spot in Seattle for authentic Vietnamese dishes--truly one of the best in the city. There's even a parking lot next door, which is rare in the area. The staff are friendly, service is quick, and it's usually calm outside of the morning and lunchtime rush. They serve excellent bánh mì sandwiches and a variety of grab-and-go deli items. Overall, it's a genuinely authentic Vietnamese deli with high-quality food and a warm, family-like atmosphere. read more

Loved the Banh Mi sandwich, perfect bread roll crispy outside soft inside. Lots of meat cut a bit thick and veggies, few to many jalapeños for me but easy fix. I purchased the #3 & #1. Love the prices $6.00 less expensive than a burger and so much better. Love the easy parking. The fast and friendly service. Shop is clean and orderly! read more

My favorite Bahn Mi deli for yrs!!! Their assortment of foods offer anyone's tastes, a delightful change from the ordinary. I wish the City of Seattle would support this community, refraining from infiltrating the lawless drug problems. read more

Authentic Vietnamese deli with fresh house cooked food, sandwiches, coffee and small asian market. The food is very good and fresh. No fast food sludge feeling after eating their clean food with real ingredients. Prices are very reasonable. Staff seem like it's a family owned and are kind and friendly. Located in a sketchy neighborhood with homeless and drug addicts but safe during the day to get food. I eat here 2-3/month for a couple years already and keep coming back. The Banh mi are delicious We get the 2 item-eggplant dish and pork belly dish, comes with steamed white rice-so good !!! read more

Had the pork sandwich here. This place always has a line and is never empty. The sandwich is definitely one of the best pork bahn mi I have had. This place doesn't have a spot to sit down, more of a place for grab and go. They have a ton of other things here at the deli as well. Definitely worth checking out read more

This is one of those places where you get some good food quickly and without any frills. They have an assortment of items to choose from. It's set up as a deli style place that prefers cash. We ordered a traditional banh mi to share while we wait for our lunch spot to be opened. The banh mi was perfectly made and packed full of meat and veggies. It's one of the best banh mi in town. read more

I've been here multiple times, sandwiches and egg rolls are great and the service is fast! Love those lady's behind the counter, they rock!

This is a gem. Love the Banh Mi here and deli overall. I usually get the #1 and # 6. Call to order it and it's ready when you get there. Very affordable and delicious. You can taste the authenticity. There's no lettuce in it like some places do. It's Vietnamese owned and operated so you know it's authentically flavored and no substitutes. read more

This is my go to place for Bahn Mi in Seattle. The sandwiches are authentic and reasonably priced. It's a bit weird when you walk up as the wait line and the service line are not clear. There is nowhere to sit. It's just an order and take away shop. read more

Solid bahn-mi's! They are also a really good value for the price. Enough sandwich to share, but also they're SO good, i generally never feel like sharing. It can get a little crowded during lunch times, but I've never waited more than 10 min. I haven't checked out their other food selections yet, but have been tempted by them. Maybe one day I won't want a bahn mi, and will give other goodies a try. read more

Affordable and tasty! Was the perfect lunch after a drive from Portland to Seattle. Only tried their Banh Mi but the next time I'm in town, I'll be sure to try more from their menu. read more

very consistent, delicious, and affordable! i love coming to grab a banh mi from here, you cant go wrong with any of them. they also have individually packaged meal items as well as some hot items. they also have a big selection of drinks as well as sweets/desserts. quick grab and go, but no place to enjoy your meal. read more

This is a hidden gem! For less than $6, you get a massive banh mi! I got the all meat combo, it is very tasty with all the fillings, and I like to bring it home and toast up the buns again (removing the veggies before toasting and adding on top again after). The parking is easy and right next to the store. They prefer cash, and they are always kind. The service is fast so there is typically no wait. This spot is takeaway, and no seating inside. The outside might be a little scary area wise, but I like to hop in and out and eat at home! Highly recommend this deli shop! read more

Went here recently & bought egg rolls & Pâté chaud. They both were tasteless, like they forgot to add salt.

5/5 Vietnamese sandwiches. We got the #2- traditional ham and #5 - tofu veggie. The tofu was lemongrass seasoned and very good! The bread was good and soft. We ate it 3 hrs after we ordered it and it was still very good. I ate my whole sandwich. Imagine if we ate it right away when that bread was warm and toasty! We got the viet coffee. It was good and strong! Location in the international district was rough and super sketchy w/ lots of homeless. We walked there from Chinatown. Don't do it. The walk made me lose my appetite. So close your eyes if you decide to walk there. If I was by myself or other women, I wouldn't have done that walk. Once we left the area... the sandwich became magic. read more

Went on a hike with my dad later this day so we decided to get banh mis on the way as my dad was visiting and we are Vietnamese. My dad was very happy because there was parking right next to it which made it a breeze to go in and out. This spot is very popping, and has a grocery feel with lots of good to buy as well as packaged food goods they make there. We ordered a few sandwiches and an iced coffee to go and it was pretty fast, they even asked if we wanted it fresh now which was appreciated. Overall this place is great, I've yet to see better prices in Seattle. Only bummer to me is they prefer cash and have an extra charge for credit cards and I prefer not to use cash. Banh mi: 8/10. Great for the price, my dad remarked the bread was very good on his first bite. Viet iced coffee - 7/10. Good just very strong (should be what u expect I'm just a wimp with coffee), very classic and well made viet iced coffee read more

My go-to spot for banh mi in Seattle hands down. It's cheap and good quality. I always get the combo meat and it never disappoints. I love the veggies so I ask for extra. It does get a little crowded depending on the time of day but you're never in there for long. Highly recommend for a quick yummy cheap eat! read more

My favorite banh mi in Seattle! There was the perfect amount of filling - tofu, pickled carrots/daikon, cucumber, and jalapenos. I was really impressed by how much tofu/protein was inside! The tofu was marinaded which made it extra flavorful with a tiny bit of spice. The bread was crunchy on the outside but still soft in the inside. I was worried that the banh mi would be dry since I ask for no mayo, but it was surprisingly moist from the filling! Literally 10/10 banh mi, could not ask for anything more. There are also many other Vietnamese treats that you can enjoy. We opted for chè from the fridge, which was sweet and refreshing (and not TOO sweet!). There was plenty of parking in the lot. We called in our order, came in 15 minutes, and it was ready for us. They prefer cash, but accept credit cards (NOT American Express) for a 75 cent charge per transaction. Definitely recommend this spot for a solid and authentic banh mi! read more
