    spring rolls - $9.25
    Lauren C.

    Pretty decent bahn mi in this no frills Vietnamese sando shop on Reseda Blvd. Fresh, crunchy and thin bread, generous fillings, fresh herbs and jalapeño. Spring rolls were of good size with fresh fillings and the sauce was delicious. Wish the pickled veg on the bahn mi was a little more flavorful. Found that I was adding vinegar to my sandwich, which enhanced it. Service was very friendly. No seats inside so takeout only. Lots of lotto tickets being sold if you're looking for that. Prices very fair. Would definitely go again if I was in the area.

    Very friendly cashier. 3.95% fee for credit card Banh mi bread was yummy but filling needed more butter, more pate. Pickled vegetables not so pickled. Food is alright. Asked for banh cuon special and there was two fried cha goi added. Had banh tet for $32, square and cylindrical shape. Bought their peanut brittle to try.

    Fermented pork tangy and good

    Best authentic viet food you'll get in the area Banh cuon is my favorite dish here and is hard to find in the area. They make it for you in front of you fresh! It comes with mint, bean sprouts and cucumbers cut finely with some pork roll and sweet fish sauce. I like to get the combo where you can order it with 2-3 of fermented beef cubes. They're spicy, tangy and savory with chunks of pepper in them. It's normally made with pork but I feel safer eating it knowing it's beef. They also have a bunch of goods at the front like sticky rice with meats and sticky rice with mung beans. Vietnamese coffee was great. They have it all proportioned and prepared. Avoid the bao bun, the breading broke apart and was so dry. Meat flavor was fine though They have plenty of free parking in the back of the store but also have some street parking in front. Service is nice and quick. This establishment also sells a bunch of scratchers and lotto. There's no seating inside, so expect to pick up to go. Definitely will keep coming back for good viet food.

    We were craving banh mis and searched for some in the area and found this hole in the wall gem. Both the pork and pork with pate banh mis were really delicious! Packed with meat and a nice balance of fresh vegetables and garnish. And as others have noted, it's nice that the bread doesn't cut up your mouth. We also got the rice rolls which were good, but not as good as we were hoping. We probably wouldn't get the rice rolls again, but definitely would come for a banh mi anytime we're in the valley. It's a little hole in the wall with no seating but we just took it to a nearby park to enjoy. Also super good value as it's hard to find cheap eats these days!

    This is my second time going and somehow the service is still just as good as the food! I definitely recommend

    We expanded our horizons on this visit and tried two amazing new dishes--the Banh Cuon and the Banh Khot. Totally different vibes but delicious and flavorful in their own ways. I'm not sure about exactly how to "properly" consume the rice rolls but I found that dipping in the sauce, wrapping with lettuce leafs and a smattering of the other goodies worked well. As for the shrimpy guys, wow. The flavor was incredible and the sauce was sweet and tangy and rounded out the experience so well. I'm convinced now that everything at Valley Sandwiches is fantastic and I'm eager to continue to explore the menu!

    While it's called Valley Sandwiches, the restaurant really has a lot more to offer. Really enjoyed the bun Bo hue and stuffed rice paper. The house blend Vietnamese coffee is spectacular. Highly recommend

    Bánh cuốn
    A A.

    Is the bánh cuốn at Valley Sandwiches better than the stellar bánh mì I usually come for? Honestly... it might be. I was craving something dim sum-adjacent this morning, and Valley Sandwiches popped up in my Yelp search. I've been meaning to branch out from my usual order anyway--I always inhale their bánh mì in my car since this is strictly a take-out spot. Today I asked, "What should I get that isn't a sandwich?" They recommended the bánh cuốn because it was "easy." Say less. These rice rolls are excellent--delicate, ultra-soft, and basically melt in your mouth. The texture alone is so satisfying, and the filling (ground pork, I think?) is perfectly seasoned. Genuinely delicious. Dare I say... better than some I've had recently in Orange County. I live in the SFV and clearly I'm still just scratching the surface of all the amazing food out here. Valley Sandwiches just gave me another reason to keep exploring.

    Stopped by for an afternoon sandwich. This is a nice little shop with sandwiches and Vietnamese food. The people behind the counter are really friendly and helpful. I ended up ordering a #7 pork sandwich. It was really good. What impressed me the most and stood out was the fresh vegetables in the sandwich. They were crisp and refreshing with every bite. I really enjoyed this sandwich! This is a take out only place, no indoor seating.

The Banh Xeo had a very light and crisp shell and was not too greasy. This was the largest one that we have had at any restaurant. My mother in law, who is tiny, ate the whole thing. It was that good! We don't see Bun Cha Ha Noi at many places so we had to order it. Another tasty dish! We loved everything here. Even though the place does not have A/C, we didn't mind at all! The large fan kept it comfortable. The server was very nice, one of the owners, who spoke better English was a pleasure to talk to as we asked her a lot of questions about the restaurant as it was our first time there. The chef is from Vietnam and she works alone in the kitchen so your patience may be needed. There was one other family who was dining in with us and a bunch of takeout orders. This is one our favorite Vietnamese spots now. Please give them a try so we keep this place around for many years to come!

She's been coming here since before they upgraded the space, and from what I understand it's run by brothers. The family is really nice, and it definitely has that local neighborhood spot feel. The main reason she brought me was for their **bún riêu**, but I have to be honest -- it didn't really taste like bún riêu to me. It was still good, but the broth had more of a tomato-y, clearer base and felt like its own soup rather than a true bún riêu. I was also surprised they didn't have **shrimp paste** available for it, which felt kind of odd. They do have **bánh bèo** and some other Vietnamese dishes, which I thought was cool, and overall everything we tried was okay. I've had a different soup from here before, and I've also gotten it delivered, and I'd say the experience is pretty much the same across the board -- decent, solid, nothing bad, but nothing that really stands out for me either. That said, I'd still come back because my girlfriend enjoys it, the family is sweet, and there aren't a ton of Vietnamese spots I've tried out in the Valley yet. It's one of those neighborhood places that's nice to have around, even if it's not something I'd personally go out of my way for.

This "joint" we were introduced to by a Vietnamese colleague seemed so unique and magical! It was nothing fancy, the tables were perpetually sticky.. but every morsel we tasted was served with such pride, and it was delicious. That was then. This is now. The interior has since been renovated, the furniture updated and gone are the tables wrapped in shipping tape and cardboard to keep them steady. It looks nice! The small side area of the building where the aunties used to clean and prep the fresh veggies, basil, mint, cilantro.. is now a full up boba bar with a sweet smiling lady behind the counter. There were no less than 6 employees wandering in the dining area and not one addressed us when we walked in until we called out to them. I'm no royalty demanding to be served like a princess, but can you say HI and offer a table? They have at least a dozen tables in the dining room, and only 2 had patrons so they weren't busy. It was around 6:30pm so the dinner rush had passed. We needed to wait about 10-15 minutes for friends to arrive so we asked for menus, water and I ordered a salted Plum Soda which you can't really find at too many places outside of Orange County. It was refreshing on a hot day! I was shocked to see how abbreviated the menu had become. Out of the Pho So 1 locations we have been to, we always felt this one had more dishes to choose from including desserts. This menu looked shorter than the one in Granada Hills (on Devonshire) and when I asked one of the young ladies about the dishes I can come for, she shriveled her nose and said "we don't have that". In particular I wanted Bun Cha Ha Noi.. and was suggested to get Bun Thit Nuong as a substitute. Ok, they both have pork and both have a form of rice noodle, but that's where the similarities end. When our friends arrived, they sat down and immediately they wanted to take our orders. Friends asked for drinks and some time to peruse the menu. After a few more visits to take the meal order we finally made our decisions. The food came out quickly. This is always on point at the Pho So 1 locations. No complaints! But our friends had to ask again for their drink orders and got a little side eye. They asked nicely and were nothing but polite. This just didn't feel right. The experience was so lackluster I didn't even take any pics and if you've seen my other reviews, that's not me at all. Am I spoiled because I've been exposed "the good stuff" in our adventures to San Gabriel Valley? Maybe. But I'd still go back to the Pho So 1 spots in Gardena (the guy who manages there is amazing and should give lessons!) and Granada Hills (Devonshire, not the newer one on Chatsworth which was also disappointing). Leaving this here so my fond old memories don't bring me back to this spot in Reseda. 30+ years later, there are a lot of other choices to satisfy the need for Vietnamese food.

It had been a while since I visited my places in Reseda and I wanted to see if they're still as good as before. Sandwich Express did not disappoint! Back in the 80's I lived in Northridge and had a Vietnamese co-worker who was a friend and fellow foodie. He introduced me to banh mi and Sandwich Express, and I'm so glad he did! Starting with their amazing banh (baguette rolls), they're baked fresh daily. They're crisp on the outside and perfectly soft in their interior. Not too dense or thick - just the right crisp and airy bread to filling ratio that you want in a banh mi! You can also buy baguettes to take home. Back in the day they were 3 for $1! Yup, apparently I'm that old... today they're a couple of bucks, but still worth it. Sorry I failed to take pics of my sandwich when it was freshly made, I was just so excited to go back in time to this little corner of Reseda that looks like it hasn't changed! The photo shown is the next day.. and that's only HaLF of the sandwich! The lady at the counter was so sweet! Don't assume rudeness for challenges with communication. I was nice and she was kind in return. There's a language barrier and at first she was shy, but once we worked through the English-Vietnamese translations with the help of Google, I was able to ask her if they sell Kho Ga La Chanh (Chicken Jerky) - and she ran excitedly to the back and produced a sealed bag of their homemade jerky! Not the same flavor profile as the stuff I buy in San Gabriel Valley, but it's a start! I'll bring them a sample the next time I get a batch to see if they can mimic the sweet spice. Theirs is a little more "five spice" forward. I placed my order for a #1 "Dac Biet" sandwich, "extra pâté, extra veggies". That's my default sammie by which I judge all Bánh Mi and I'm here to say that even a day later, right out of my fridge it's still THE best Banh Mi in the San Fernando and Santa Clarita valleys! Bright, fresh, generously filled.. and the magic bread. I happen to know that a local chain of popular phô restaurants buys their bahn (rolls) daily from Sandwich Express to make their own sandwiches and to serve with their Bho Ko (stew)! If you're wondering for reference where my bar is set, my go-to banh mi spots in San Gabriel Valley are Bánh Mi Hue Thai and Banh Mi Hoa Phat. ~IYKYK~ What has changed at Sandwich Express? It's not just sandwiches anymore AND they have a few tables inside where you can sit down to eat! They don't have my beloved Soda Xí Muội (salted plum soda) or the lime version either. Just canned and bottled American sodas, but that's not a deal breaker. Check out the posted menu pics. Bún Bò Huě, Bò Kho.. the owner did suggest calling first to make sure these items are available on the day you want to come, but she boasts that it's very authentic! They even have broken rice dishes with grilled pork chop (Cóm Tãm Súòn)! I read in another review that the original owners sold. I don't know if this is accurate or when it happened.. but I didn't see the older people that were often in the kitchen so it's possible! Back to the changes - they have desserts now, too! They also cater! What?!? No longer cash only, they accept Visa/Mastercard. I'm so glad we stopped! They still hold the #1 spot in the area. Convince me otherwise!

The bread tasted crisp and chewy, and overall it was something that filled me up for what I needed. My friend got a vermicelli bowl and felt like the overall dish was also okay, and that the fish sauce could have been more flavorful since that's usually a highlight for her. There was a bit of a long wait for it, like almost 20 minutes. We definitely chose to eat it to-go since the interior is also small and there's about 3 tables or less.

Parking lot is entered through Reseda and there's a whole area of the lot that's been fenced off for the longest. Might be hard to enter or exit if it's a busy time because of traffic. No bathrooms!

We were so hungry for Thai food and ordered about 3-4 items. Spoiler alert, we could not finish everything but it was all so good and delicious!!! I complemented my meal with a small Thai iced tea and it had a great blend with strong taste of their condensed milk. The plates were all so delicious and so good. I wanted beef jerky, a dish I always order from thai restaurants but I couldn't find it on the menu. Luckily there was such a thing when I ordered!!! The beef jerky was chewy and not super hard when I bit it. The meat was good quality, it was a bit like steak to be honest!!! The fried rice was also just regular order but it was so tasty, buttery, and yummy. I loved the honey roasted ribs because it was so tender and flavorful. The panang curry was also super super good. I don't usually enjoy curry like that because it gets too spicy but the mild level was perfect for my taste buds and so good and creamy with the chicken we ordered for it. The white rice it came with would be doused with the curry sauce/stew and it would just be an amazing combo of flavors!!!! I would definitely recommend this spot, and would be excited to come back here for more for even hangouts with friends.

    1) The perfect Pad Ki Mao: al dente wide, flat rice pasta deeply absorbed the smokiness of the wok,…read moreThai basil, garlic, whisper of gastrique from possibly vinegar, earthy sweet Hoisin sauce, and Umami of Nampla/fish sauce. Green and red bell peppers were flash sautéed with crunchiness, and onion slices caramelized with a touch of crispness, flecks of crushed red chiles. 2) Mi Krob: Towering Mound of thin rice noodles quick fried for crispy puffiness tossed in a sweet chile, thickened sauce. Fried dry Tōfu, bits of airy fried egg, pieces of shrimp, chopped green onions, red bellpepper slices, refreshingly watery crunchy bean sprouts. 3) Angel Wings: Pleasantly light, crunchy Panko Japanese bread crumb coating. The chicken meat filling in the deboned chicken wing is ultra puréed to the point it's a solid, gummy pâté where you can't distinguish the different ingredients. Cubed Cucumber sweet, acidic vinegar sauce, and sweet, thickened Thai chile sauce are the accompaniments. . 4) Pad Si Yu: Mostly similar ingredients as the Pad Ki Mao but without the aromatic Thai basil, and a sweet soy sauce is used for touch of fermented earthiness. Florets of al dente broccoli. To me, the flavours are duller than the exemplary Pad Ki Mao. Main dining room along with covered back patio seating. Wide window to view what's happening in the kitchen for tables near the front entrance. Good overall Thai food. 4- stars

    Such a dope spot. The aunty here definitely puts in a lot of love and care into these recipes and…read moreyou can taste it. We have been ordering from this place on Uber Eats for awhile until we decided to visit the place. The la aunty gave us free Thai tea. Told us the duck soup was sold out and it takes 24 hours to make. Everything we have had so far is amazing. The aunty here is super sweet. Highly recommend to all foodies.

    Vietnamese food in the Valley can be had, though it can be hard to find a good one. I was…read moreinterested in giving Pho Hoan My a try, and it was a disappointment to say the least. The staff member at the time thew the menu down at the table after seating me down - a classic experience (heh). I ordered a bun bo xao, and it came out. Overall, the dish was stacked with noodles but fairly plain. An aerial view photo doesn't do it justice, as this bowl was massive. The beef itself was flavored but wasn't too tasty, nothing the fish sauce helped with either. After the meal, I also enjoyed a cup of Vietnamese Iced Coffee, and this stuff was STRONG. I'm no stranger to this drink, but the coffee itself was fairly bitter and concentrated - more than normal. The condensed milk? Almost felt like a quarter can, too! Even after diluting it (through their ice) with half water, it was still too sweet and bitter - do not recommend. Paying was fairly easy, but it was through Zelle or cash - awkward! No credit card option available. Because of these experiences, I don't think I'll be back anytime soon.
