Rats, cockroaches, flies, oh my!

um, you might want to avoid these sandwiches at the moment…

I have searched far and long for the ultimate Vietnamese sandwich shop. If you are local in the West Seattle area, definitely drop in and grab a sandwich. This is the best spot I’ve found. The bread is second to none and the amount of meats and vegetables they put in are very generous. Whenever I am in the area, I always buy at least two sandwiches.
The sandwiches are healthy, cheap, and delicious! My personal favorites are the banh mi dac biet (special) and banh mi xiu mai (meatball). The staff are very nice and friendly. What are you waiting for? Visit them!

Good fresh and fresh banh mi! The staff are nice and friendly.

This place wins on all levels with me. You will not find a better Vietnamese sandwich, anywhere. The people that work here are super nice and inviting. Show a little humility and allow them to prepare you something out of the norm for you. You are in good hands. They could charge double and I’d pay it, no problem.

we came on a saturday afternoon craving some vietnamese food. they didnt have sandwiches which was kind of a let down because they’re a bakery… but we didnt get upset about it, they didnt make milk tea versions of bubble tea and didnt have a wide range of flavors so i just got a drink from their front cooler. a fruit flavored jello milk drink. it was really good.
my boyfriend ordered a green apple bubble tea i think or it might have been another flavor but other than that he really liked his drink as well.
hopefully next time they have their sandwiches because i really want to try it.

my mother discovered this place. she brought home some banh mi dac biet (special) and my first time eating it – it was AMAZING.
surprisingly, the baguette did not turn rock-​hard. yes, banh mi lovers, y‘all know what i‘m talking about. it was still soft and full of flavors. the pâté was delicious. i‘m salivating right now, just thinking about it. oh, did i mention that they are slightly cheaper than the ones in the international district? *two thumbs up*
and the folks working there are pretty sweeeeet. and no, i did NOT get any bribery banh mi for writing this review.

You would never guess there was Bahn Mi in this place, even thought they advertise it on their awning. They are a bakery, so I figured the bread should at least be good and I gave it a chance. No disappointment here. Now, before I go on, I want to be clear that this is not the best I have had, but it was really good basic sandwiches. I had the grilled pork on fresh baked bread that didn’t rip up the roof of my mouth… it was quite tasty. I had to try the 3 kinds of pork sandwich… yes, I know I ate too much. For a cold sandwich, I like it and all I paid was $ 4.50 for the two.
