Got this recommendation from my friends living in Sac Town and apparently this place is THE SPOT…read more After visiting, I can confirm the hype is very much deserved. Walked in and found about 20 people ahead of me. The lights were bright, the staff were moving like they were training for the Banh Mi Olympics, and there was a whole separate crowd forming around the pickup counter. This place was BUSIER than a Costco on a Saturday. I only tried the grilled pork and chicken sandwiches, with the veggies packed on the side to prevent any soggy bread tragedies. And let me tell you, the grilled pork Banh Mi is the best I've ever had. The bread, the meat, the flavors. The chicken sandwich is excellent too, especially if pork isn't your thing. But that grilled pork? Absolute star of the show. Now I understand why everyone and their mother is lining up for this place.

Duc Huong has new items! I tried their giant sesame balls with mung bean. There was no price tag on…read moreit but from what I remembered it was between $5 and $6. I wanted to try it at least once and it was fun to eat because you get to peel it apart and there was a good crunch to it. There is a tiny mung bean ball inside (my favorite part) and it was not too sweet. However, it was quite oily but I enjoyed it as a treat after eating my banh cuon noodles. I like going early in the morning because that's when they restock items on the table so everything is warm and fresh. I have been eating their #1 grilled pork sandwich almost every week because it is a simple, affordable, and delicious lunch! It tastes great when reheated, and I would recommend taking out the veggies first so that it stays fresh and doesn't get soggy. The pate chould is a little different now because there is a change in the filling, but it's still yummy and addicting. I can eat so many in one sitting! Service is quick because the employees move fast to keep the line going, and it seems to be more organized now because of new signs and digital screens.

Service is ok, everything busy trying to keep from a crazy line forming always. I got the Asian sticky rice, it's a sticky rice you can dip and eat it with this sweet and salty mixture they have inside the container. It's really good. I also grabbed a bread thing called banh tieu (sesame pastry) it's almost like a sesame ball but it has a tad sweeter taste to it. It's really good too! I also picked up some grilled chicken plate for my kids. If you haven't had that, you definitely have to try! It's so tasty and way better than a rotisserie chicken in my opinion! Trust! My try! Let me know what you think after please.

My wife loves the banh sew. Not too greasy with plenty of fresh herbs and veggies. The dip sauce is just right. Not too sweet or fishy. Service is quick and friendly. Ambience is not fancy, tables and chairs, always packed. I usually order an extra banh mi to go. Check this place out. You won't regret it.

When people discuss quality grocery stores, Corti Brothers is often mentioned when it comes to the…read moreSacramento region. I don't know how I have lived in Sac for 25 years and have never been here. The store is filled with eye popping quality foods. Think of it as a smaller version of Whole Foods when it comes to food quality and prices. I noticed they had some top quality cuts of meats. The prices are quite high so I'll have to splurge some time on a nice steak. I did notice some items were pretty reasonably priced. For example, I was rather surprised to see they had a very large variety of Temple coffee beans for for $14.99 a bag. That's cheaper than I have seen elsewhere but I didn't pay close attention to the size since I was fully stocked on coffee at the moment. I had to try one of their legendary made to order sandwiches. Someone had recommended The Tuscany. Boy, was that delicious! And the sandwich was very large for $9.99, I couldn't finish it all in one sitting. There are tables outside so I purchased a bottle soda and a sandwich. Unfortunately, I didn't think ahead because there are no bottle openers available for customers to use so I was unable to enjoy my nice cold drink with my sandwich. I'll have to either bring my own bottle opener next time or choose a drink that is a screw top or flip opener.

I would recommend everyone try Corti Brothers for their deli sandwiches. I finally bought…read moresandwiches and was super excited due to the buzz from everyone and amazing Yelp reviews. I ordered online with a few modifications I added in the special instructions box on the order page. I asked for extra lettuce, lettuce amount was meager. Asked for double pepper and light salt, neither were added. Asked for pepperchinis and jalepenos, extra mayo, sprouts and none of that was added. In addition the turkey was a bit light at 3 slices. I would tey them again but it would need to be in person so I can actually watch the sandwich being made to assure it is correct. However, the staff was super nice and store was bright and clean. Really wanted to go 5 stars...maybe next time.

What a bright, fun, airy space in the Ice Blocks! This place was hopping early in the lunchtime hour. Seemed like a mix between eat-in, to-go and pick-up orders. Fast, friendly service and great food. What more can you ask for? I enjoyed their Baja Green Goddess salad with Impossible chorizo (even though I eat meat) and picked up a vegan banh mi and seasonal BLT for some friends. All were tasty and nicely packed to-go. I look forward to returning to try more things and their different locations.

Saigon Oi is located in the heart of South Sac's Little Saigon district…read more Parking can be tight so what hubby did was drop us off while he circled the complex. It's a pretty popular restaurant so joining the waitlist on Yelp helps to get in the queue. When we got there, we were already on the Yelp waitlist so our wait wasn't really long. For this visit, we had the following: Dishes - Ribeye steak and Vietnamese shaking beef, Crispy Fish Sauce chicken wings both served with red rice. Drinks - Kumquat lemongrass tea and coconut coffee Their food is really good, reasonably priced. Staff were attentive and friendly, definitely provided great service. Atmosphere was lively but not loud. Simply decorated. There's a small space for waiting customers. Definitely highly recommended when you're in this area but be prepared for the wait especially on a high peak day like the weekends. August 2026

We got the banh khot, green thai tea, com do beef steak and com do ga quay. The banh khot came piping hot and crispy. It was good and I would come back just for that. The green thai tea was also really good and had a hint of pandan. The two other entrees were about the same, but just different protein. For the ribeye, we were asked how we wanted it and said "medium rare", but it came out to well done. It was chewy and didn't have much flavor besides the topping that's on top. The chicken was crispy, but the meat lacked flavor and was quite dry. Both protein was not enjoyable to eat unfortunately. The portions are nice though and one entree can definitely be shared between two people. Overall experience, it was just okay. The food really did the most damage.

The Sandwich Spot is a stable in midtown and such a gem. I love the Hornet and highly recommend it…read morefor any of my chicken and pesto lovers out there. My to-go order is the Hornet on a Dutch crunch roll with everything on it except mustard. Make it a combo with chips and a drink, and you'll have an incredible lunch. The ambiance is different from other sandwich spots in midtown. The chairs and tables are older and worn, and it's small inside, but it's also inside an old house that was converted into a restaurant. That alone makes this place unique. People hang out inside or outside with friends and enjoy the vibes. There's a real sense of community that the Sandwich Spot brings along with uniquely crafted sandwiches. All of the sandwiches are named after people or landmarks in Sacramento. The staff are all friendly, knowledgeable about the menu and will help you with recommendations if you're not sure which sandwich to get. It honestly feels like you're in the company of good friends. The staff joke around and seem to enjoy their job and working together. You won't be disappointed by trying the Sandwich Spot during your next lunch break or on the weekend, hanging out with a friend.

I'd heard a lot of good things about this specific location. I think it's a local chain, but I'd…read morenever been, so I finally decided to give it a try. The restaurant is in a really cool old Victorian house, and the staff were super friendly. The interior was clean and looked like a nice place to dine in, but I ended up taking my order to go. I ordered the #19 with turkey, prosciutto, avocado, and swiss on a dutch crunch roll. The bread had just gone into the oven, so we had to wait about 10 minutes, but I can't complain because it was baked fresh to order. Overall, I thought the sandwich was very good, but honestly not quite as amazing as people online had made it out to be. It was definitely good, but I don't know if I'd be dying to go back when I think Ike's, Mr. Pickle's, Corti Bros, and maybe even Nugget or Sprouts make more interesting sandwiches. To me, those places use slightly higher quality ingredients as well, though maybe I just didn't order the best sandwich here. Overall, it was a good sandwich and a good experience. My expectations were probably just a little too high. I wouldn't be dying to come back but also wouldn't say no if someone wanted to go there for lunch.

Perfectly cooked chicken with sauces, cucumbers, cheese, on delicious bread. There aren't many places to sit inside but the staff is hardworking and work hard in pushing out orders. Not much of a theme inside other than brewery-male man cave, haha. I'm not here for the vibes, just the sandwich please!

Prices were decent but soon realized well worth it for the amount of meat they packed on. Inside is very tiny and outside seating is limited so it's more of a grab and go kinda spot. No fountain sodas unfortunately. I got the beach bum and ended up taking the other half home. The potato salad was a little lacking but I enjoyed the pasta salad, even tho it was pretty saturated in the dressing. Overall pretty good hearty sandwich.

I usually get it to go because the service here is not ideal. If you are the type of person who requires good service to be able to enjoy your meal, this place might not be for you. Usually, it's one older woman who doesn't speak much English at the cash register that has been, shall we say, impolite pretty much every time I have gone. I'm really not the type of customer to be picky at service either. The food makes up for it in my opinion. If you do plan on eating there, the area is quite small and close quarters to other people. Very little parking, but every time I've been here they are always busy.

I'm usually a meat sandwich girlie but others raved about it so I wanted to give it a try. Note: I am an eggplant fan so not sure if you'd like it if you're not into eggplant. The sourdough is so soft and chewy, the aioli is fantastic, the whole composition is well done. The place is no frills, go up to the counter and order to take out, no tables but I took it to McKinley park which is just 4 min drive away. I'll definitely be back to try other sandwiches. Don't forget to get cash on the way!

I tried…read morecoming here twice, on Sunday and Monday only to find out those are the two days they're closed... this past third time was the charm and oh man these sandwiches are amazing -- well worth the hype! By far the most popular sandwich here is the Panko Crusted Eggplant, so while I'm not the biggest fan of eggplant --especially as part of a sandwich -- I knew it was a must try. Packed with roasted peppers, arugula and layered with Manchego cheese in a light balsamic reduction, this is a delightful symphony of textures and flavors that even non-vegetarians will fall for. Just try it, trust me! We also got the Grilled Chicken, which was a more classic combo of tender (despite not being thinly sliced) chicken, crispy bacon and greens. While the eggplant was more texturally complex and unique, for return visits it's more likely that I'd gravitate to this one because of how how clean it tastes overall... but honestly both sandwiches were pretty much tied for my favorite! The key ingredients that make these sandwiches so magical are simply two things: their bread and the addictive basil aioli sauce. Imo, bread is always the foundation of a good sandwich and Juno's has perfected a chewy, crunchy and airy vehicle with simple yet delicious ingredient combinations and just the right amount of sauce. I also appreciated how each sandwich comes with your choice of side: either thinly sliced herb potatoes or balsamic salad. It's crazy that I've been living here for over three years and only just tried this place for the first time?! A super no-frills deli with friendly staff, Juno's officially wins my vote for the best sandwiches in town. PS: closed on Sundays and Mondays and cash-only but if you forget there's an ATM conveniently located at the liquor store across the street
