I spotted Thanh Tam Bakery while waiting at a stoplight and decided to give it a try--and I'm glad I did. I came in and tried the sandwiches, which were good and priced reasonably. I also noticed a steady stream of customers picking up coffee orders, which seems to be pretty popular here. I will make a note to try coffee next time. Thanh Tam Bakery, despite the name, also offer a variety of prepared grab-and-go foods, which is super convenient if you're in a hurry. I got 3 pieces of catfish which is sold by the lbs...and was a bit shocked that it cost $10. :(( The service was friendly and welcoming, and thought it was really cute my sandwiches came in a cute pink bag!! :) The parking is tight and limited -- so park around the corner on the same plaza for more spots. Definitely a great little spot to check out if you're in the area -- I'll have to come back to try the coffee and maybe a pastry! read more

Everything here is cheap and affordable. But service is a hit or miss depending on which lady takes your order that day, especially if you're a young woman. Well my luck, always end up being served by the same rude lady because I go super early. She never acts nice or friendly toward me, maybe because I look like a "kid". She's only smiling at other customers including those "men." Like today, she gave me attitude because she was serving me but made coffee for the guy behind. So I thought she made my coffee wrong , I told her because she didn't reply to what I said, she's snapped "I knowww!!! I heard your order." Well then why didn't you say anything? Love the food here but she's really holding me from coming back every time. read more

I liked the packaged food. Would go back for that. I gotta try the baked good next time

So good. The baguette was fresh and crispy. My colleague bought these for us so I didn't expect such a beautiful cross section. Like I'm shook rn. Get it. read more

Thanh Tam Bakery - Actually insane. The fried egg was perfect. - Vietnamese Near Me - Garden Grove, California

Ordered 2x Banh Mi Thit Nuong, 2x Dac Biet, 4 flan, and a box of almond cookies. The sandwiches had a good amount of filling and I appreciated the egg in the Dac Biet as its usually something I have to ask as an add-on at other places They were made fresh to order and my friends and I loved them. I recommend the almond cookies, they werent too sweet and were nice to snack on. This place is definitely a must try!! read more

Thanh Tam Bakery - Banh Mi, Flan, and Almond Cookies - Vietnamese Near Me - Garden Grove, California

The food was alright. We got the crispy pork banh mi, the meat was cold. The chicken patê chaud only hada nickel size meat inside. The most offensive thing was the rice combo. We asked for the egg and pork she gave us half a serving. We like to support small businesses but unfortunately small business like this is super shady with their servings size. We order so much to try everything and everything was skimpy. Also, we got the bitter melon soup and it was cold. I told her in Vietnamese, We are eating here. So there was no language barrier. Just seems no care for customer service. read more

Thanh Tam Bakery - Coffee with cheese foam - Vietnamese Near Me - Garden Grove, California

I've been coming here for a better part of a decade and I have to say, their sandwiches are amazing. The baguettes they use are baked in house and have a special place in my heart. But what i really come here for is the service. The owner and employees truly know how to make you feel valued and today was a special occasion since it was my birthday! For the past few weeks, I've noticed a sign that said "Free banh mi with ID" so sure, I obliged and came here on my birthday. What really made the visit memorable was that everyone to the front really seemed to be happy I chose to visit and made me feel special! The food is always on point, the interior is always cozy, but the people are always amazing. read more

Dear Thanh Tam Bakery, The sandwich is too wet, asked for no sauce but the meat is too wet overall. Shaken beef should have been lifted to dry before taken off before put in sandwich. Pork sandwich was better but would have loved meats a little bit more tender meats. The matcha latte is creamy and honey is yummyz. Inside is really good setup overall love the quotes on wall and fresh flowers yay. Overall may try again hopefully to be best next time. Service was good over all and people were good too. read more

The bread here is quite good, crunchy outside, soft and chewy inside. The meat (bbq beef) is flavorful than other places. The pickles veggies were not enough (personal pov) with decent price tag. They do sell fast foods and others...I tried the egg rolls (decent & aok), steamed bun was abit tasteless and bland, same with the steamed rice cake w/ meat & pate chaud. The service was good and the store is cleaned and organized, way much better than other places. They do have seatings inside and outside. The only thing is the wait for the food is way slow and long. Normally it would take about 5mins max to make the banh mi, but I waited for 15mins for it. I would come back to try their other foods since it looks inviting and smell great. read more

Visited yesterday 50 minutes before closing and they were already preparing to clean up and put foods away that were sitting out. The owner who took my order was very nice. I saw her pack the leftover curry they had on the hot tray for the employee who was working in the back which was nice they weren't greedy. They had a buy 3 get 1 free special on their pate chaud and their sandwiches that aren't on special. By the time I got there the pate chauds were sold out. I ordered 2 dac biet specials, 1 grilled pork, and 1 char siu pork. My husband tried the grilled pork the next day and said it was a bit dry and his bread was falling apart but gave benefit of doubt because he didn't eat it fresh. I ate the dac biet special the same day ordered but a few hours later and was surprised it had a thin fried egg inside it. It was heavily filled with butter and lots of pate which tasted homemade and the sandwich was delicious! The bread was falling apart for me too though. Overall delicious! read more

We had excellent banh mi here. #2 is awesome if you love chicken liver pate like me. #4 great too BBQ pork. Friendly & sweet service at the counter. Very reasonable prices. Banh mi was 5.50 today full size. If you buy 3 the 4th is free. Good deal. Perfect combo of the meats & condiments/ veggies. Pretty inside but it's mostly a take out place. Couple tables only. read more

My favorite Vietnamese sandwich "banh mi" spot in OC! My two favorites are the #1 and #2. They have a buy-3-get-one-free deal on the sandwiches. Worth every penny. The sandwich size is big as well. The service is fast so snap snap! There are two tables outside but it's always occupied. I highly recommend this bakery. read more

First time trying Thanh Tam Bakery and loved it! The food tasted really clean and amazing service!!! The Ambiance was welcoming and seemed pretty organized; And they have some fresh quality home cooked meals there! Can't wait to go back!!! read more

Love coming here for sandwiches! They're so yummy! The bread is so fresh, crunchy and soft at the same time. They add so much meat. I love their spin on the classic banh mi with the added spam and egg. My husband is major fan and we always pick up these sandwiches when we're in the area. The ladies that take our order are so sweet and work so hard! I love supporting this business - I can tell they have a loyal customer base because it's always packed, but they keep the line moving pretty quickly. It's definitely a grab and go type of restaurant - not a lot of seating available for eating inside. read more

One of my favorites banh mi place, i always order #2 banh mi dac biet with pork, cha lua, pate and egg. Absolutely bomb! 6.50 per bread but it can be cheaper if you buy 3 and get 1 free, so 19.50 for 4, affordable option to share with friends or family. read more

Great Vietnamese sandwiches and delicious deserts with a modern twist . We usually get number # 2 roll meat with egg .in addition , desert, coffee and banh quan as well. We have been a royal customer here for years . Only when we are in the area of course . I miss this place and wish there's one near my house in irvine . Having an egg in their cold sandwich brings out more good flavor in the sandwich. The bakery shop is very clean and decorate with tropical theme decor-- with plants and flowers which I enjoy and feel like I'm in a tropical garden. . Customer service is friendly and courteous . Thanks you so much ! See you again very soon. read more

I love catering from this spot -- the special combination Banh Mi is always a hit! Plus, the deal is solid: buy 3, get 1 free. I tried their desserts for the first time too -- tasty, but definitely on the sweeter side. If you're craving some solid Banh Mi, this place is worth checking out. read more

16$ for 3 pieces of catfish, veggies and white rice. Service was crazy rude too. She leaves my rice plate on the side to cut bananas and then doesn't answer me how much the food is with 3 fish. Ridiculous!! read more

Great food but the service is utter dogshit. Lady at the front cares more about looking pretty than serving orders. Walks away when food comes out like she walks away from her responsibilities. read more

I like their special sandwich. But disappointing as I mentioned over phone that if I can get the bread heated as I'm taking it to the hospital and it would be nice if it could be hot to eat. The lady says our bread is always hot. I come and pick up my sandwiches . Touch it the minute she handed me in the bag; it was barely warm. Got in the car to eat one since I was hungry. Conclusion: Cold meat barely warm bread even to cold food. I know the meat is normally cold but I wish the bread was at least hot or somewhat close to it as I requested. read more

I arrived about 10 minutes before their store hours at 5:20 AM on a Wednesday morning, but they were already open for business and had a line already. People are serious about getting their morning fix at this place and now I know why. I got their buy 3 get 1 free banh mi (xa xiu, nem nuong, thit nuong, xiu mai), chicken pate puff, and a mung bean pastry. The puff was nice and cripsy on top and fluffy on the inside. I usually order pork pate, but they only had chicken available. The meat had a soft texture, and less flavorful than what I'm used to with pork. The mung bean pastry was still soft and very sticky. I'm not sure if this means it is more or less fresh than the ones at the supermarket, but it tasted less like hard plastic. The mung bean in between was still creamy and had the grainy texture. Their thit nuong and bbq pork / xa xiu banh mi were my favorite. The thit nuong had amazing flavor and I was surprised at the fresh xa xiu in my banh mi. I've been to so many places that gave me hard, dry, and old tasting bbq pork. Seeing the fresh color on the xa xiu made me feel so good about this place already. The nem nuong is a little different from what I'm used to, looked like sliced marinated tofu. The flavor was on the sweeter side and less meaty. The xiu mai reminded me of creamy stuffing and typical pate spread on the bread. Their carrots and radish were light in flavor. Overall, the prices were super affordable, banh mi prices starting at $4.50. I know people mentioned a wait (mine was about 20 minutes), but it is understandable considering they had customers waiting before they opened and they were pumping out fresh food for the steam table and making fresh banh mi. I would definitely come back again. read more

They need to improve their service and manners. 1. They offer pre-orders over the phone, but they won't start preparing your order until you arrive. Be attentive when you inform them that you called in advance--they will go to the back, pretending to check on your order, but in reality, they are just informing someone to start preparing it. 2. If you're waiting for your order, they won't bring it out immediately after it's ready. Instead, they wait until all other orders are completed and bring them out together. This behavior shows a lack of respect for your time. If you need to go somewhere and wanted to order in advance, I suggest to go there early and order in person. You will be late thinking they will have your order ready. read more

It's a small bakery with a few seats. Friendly service. Baguette is buy 3, get 1 free. Each baguette is $0.75. The bread is light and crispy. Pate chaud is also buy 3, get 1 free. It's light and flaky. Banh uot is thin and chewy. It's pretty good but fish sauce is not great. Curry chicken was ok. Grilled pork banh mi was also ok. My daughter really likes the pandan waffle. read more

This place is like the Porto's for Vietnamese folks. You can get the best French rolls in two sizes. So good and crispy. I bet the banh mi is amazing - will definitely come back here for banh mi! You order at the left window and wait until they're ready for you and then pick up on the right side. There's also an interesting Vietnamese yogurt in the fridge that's made from condensed milk. We got the hot coffee and my better half loved it. Will definitely be back. There's parking in front too. Note that they don't speak English and the menu is in Vietnamese. We'll be back! read more

I barely try vietnamese banh mi before. But This shop banh mi is too good to skip. My friend recommended me this place and I'm not disappointed. Their banh mi are so fresh and crispy outside but soft inside. the grilled pork is so good. Service is fast and friendly read more

It's good that this place opens at 5:30am. They have a great deal on banh mi: buy 3, get 1 free. It's under $12 for 4 sandwiches if you don't add on extra toppings. I really like the vegetarian (bi chay). Their dac biet is not the typical dac biet: it has spam and eggs and pork. They're slow in the morning. I usually place my order over the phone by 5:45AM, by 6:00AM I'm in store, and would still have to wait another 10 min or so. I wish they were faster! read more

Love it here, do the the great value, and quality or food prepared daily. It's also the small things that they do that makes a difference giving you a banana with every combo, along with fresh chilies. Lemon water self serve for customer is also a nice touch. Coffee is also great, and the staff is always friendly. Thank you for being here. read more

Found this little spot while waiting for my car window to be replaced. Cute little indoor space with bar seating. We grabbed a noodle dish with bbq pork that was on the counter and ordered a pork bahn mi. The noodle dish was so delicious! Very different than anything I've tried before. We honestly can't wait to stop by and grab this again. The pork in the bahn mi was different, I think because it was a steam pork roll. It wasn't my favorite but overall a decent sandwich. It lacked toppings like carrot and cucumber which are essentials of a bahn me. Overall, great find and I'll be back! read more

So I know there's so many banh mi places in the area, but gosh!! Their banh mi here is drool. Crispy, crunchy, flavorful, delicious! One bite of their bread will send you back to the streets of Vietnam, remember the grandma stall in the corner. The bread is flaky but not full of dough. It's crunchy but not hard where you'll feel like your teeth will chip. They have so many options, I had to come back and order more. Great place! Whenever I'm in town.. you'll know this will be my first stop. read more
