Vietnamese deli, with all kinds of**Đặc sản**: Literally meaning "specialties," prepared cold Vietnamese classic traditional foods including items like bánh chưng (square-shaped sticky rice cake) and bánh tét (cylindrical sticky rice wrapped in banana leaves). - **Nem or Giò**: These are cold meats like nem chua (fermented pork) or giò lụa (silky pork sausage). - **Xôi**: Refers to sticky rice dishes, often with mung beans or wrapped in banana leaves. - **Bánh Bao**, which is a steamed bun that's both fluffy and flavorful. In Vietnam, it's a popular snack often filled with: - **A hard-boiled egg or quail egg**: Typically in the center. - **Seasoned pork or meatball**: Sometimes mixed with mushrooms or other ingredients for added texture and taste. **Chè Ba Màu**, which translates to "Three Color Dessert." It's a sweet, refreshing Vietnamese treat made of three main components layered in a glass: 1. **Green mung bean jelly (or pandan jelly)**: This is often cut into thin strips or cubes and adds a vibrant green color and a chewy texture. 2. **Yellow mung bean paste**: Sweetened mung beans cooked until soft and blended into a smooth paste. 3. **Red beans**: These are usually sweetened and cooked until tender, adding a rich, earthy flavor **pâté chaud**, which is a delicious Vietnamese savory pastry filled with seasoned ground meat, typically pork or chicken. The French influence in Vietnam is evident in this dish, as "pâté chaud" translates to "hot pâté" in French My absolute favorite is their Vietnamese sandwiches, the baguette is perfectly baked and the filling are always generous. I love the **Bánh Mì Thịt Nướng**, a beloved Vietnamese street food. It's made with: - **Thịt Nướng**: Grilled marinated pork, often seasoned with lemongrass, garlic, and a touch of sweetness. - **Baguette**: A light, airy Vietnamese-style baguette with a crispy crust, a nod to French culinary influence. - **Pickled Vegetables**: Julienned carrots and daikon (đồ chua) that provide a tangy crunch. - **Fresh Herbs**: Often cilantro and sometimes cucumber slices for freshness. - **Condiments**: May include pâté, mayonnaise, or a drizzle of soy sauce or chili sauce. Call ahead, this place is popular!

Been here many times but I guess I have not written a review about it (I thought I did, lol). Well, here is my overdue review of this little shop: It has been about 2 yrs since I was last here. Not because it wasn't good but I had to change my diet for a while for health reasons. Anyway, now that I can eat "normally" again and not have to watch my diet, I was craving banh mi and thought I'd come here for lunch. Here are my thoughts: 1. The sandwiches are still reasonably priced and not outrageously expensive like $10. It is $6.50 for 1 (rounding up). (I sure miss the old days when you can get them for as low as $3.50 lol) 2. the sandwiches are still good but they changed their bread. I was disappointed at first that it wasn't the little fat baguettes like a typical banh mi but more like Lee's type of shape which is narrow and long. BUT I was happy again once I bit into the crunchy bread. The shape may have changed but crunch and ratio of crust the bread (aka the middle part) is solidly portioned perfect. 3. The flavors are still there, still delicious as I remembered! PLUS, I love that they didn't put so much pate or mayo to make it mushy. It had the usual banh mi gooodness but not overly done with the wet ingredients (mayo and pate). You can taste the headcheese and the typical banh mi cold cuts, the pickled daikon and carrots, cilantro and slices of jalapeño. Every bite was delicious (we got the Dac Biet, which is #1 on the menu) 4. They added some more side items in the display glass next to the counter. I remember that from before but it seems they added more items. We didnt want to go crazy cuz we wanted to save the space for the sandwiches so we got the sesame balls (one of the best we have had!) and the baked pandan cake which I love and it was good. As far as the wait: We placed our orders and it took, maybe, 5 minutes. We got lucky with the timing cuz there were 2 large orders in front of us (5 and 10 sandwiches!) and outs came out very quickly. We came on a Sunday around 12:30-ish. I wish they have 2 things though: 1. Xa xiu pork cuz I love it (I think they used to) 2. They used to give you a free one if you order 4 or 5. I didn't see any signs that advertised that now. Overall, solid banh mi, delicious flavors, I will return again soon!

Best bahn mi in Vegas! My go to is a grilled pork bahn mi with pate and a Vietnamese coffee! Their Vietnamese coffee is so strong! Don't have doubts when you see how little it may look in the cup full of ice because it is STRONG! Inside, there is a fridge full of drinks and desserts and a front display case full of Vietnamese food and treats! There are about 3 tables inside, it's definitely more of a spot to just get your sandwich to go. You know it's legit when all the OGs are there. Definitely a must go to when craving a bahn mi!!

My favorite banh mi joint in LV! The banh mi is so light and crispy, and the price is just right- pay in cash for discount. Small little place with banh mi and some hot food offerings. The old man at the cashier is so funny, making the experience easy going and quick. Banh mi dac biet and banh mi thit nuong is my go to!! Highly recommended

This is an unabashed hole-in-the-wall and you should definitely check it out. Probably the best banh mi in Vegas, and it's only $6 47 a sandwich (as of this review). They also offer a free sandwich if you buy 5, but it's not advertised. The banh mi has a good amount of meat, decent amount of veg, and tender yet crunchy bread. I recommend asking for extra veg, but it's still good with the regular amount. The banh Bao is also good, but pricey at $5 for one, same goes for the fresh spring rolls. They have a coconut desert that has coconut water, cream, and meat that's worth trying too.

Right down the street from the "famous" sandwich shop, you'll find Dakao tucked in the corner of a strip mall. This little spot is no frills, but will save some bill$ when compared with others. Made to order, with a revolving door of patrons these sandos are fresh & tasty without fail. Dakao offers fast service, mostly takeout due to interior size. *fresh bread available! *locals favorite.

Fast $6.47 Banh Mi Thit (Pork). For SoCal banh mi loves, this place is a 3.5 star for being decent, no fuss place (not expecting much). For Vegas, it's a 4 star. Woot woot! Finally a place that is better than my disgruntled local picks...like places that taste like American potato salad, or Lees Sandwiches (A banh mi chain I never thought I'd ever need to ever buy a banh mi again. But that was my SoCal life thinking. Vegas life with the banh mi scene is a desperate situation). Depending on when they sellout, they can close earlier. This place reminds me of typical casual take out Vietnamese food like banh mi, fried snacks, and quick food to go. Staff speak English. Takes credit card. 2 small tables here but it's more of a takeout. Staff suggested both #1 House and #2 Thit. Their diakon and carrots are not sweetened or even overly sweetened like many other places. $6.47 #1. House Special Bun Mi (cold cut style). I love cold cuts but one isn't for me. $6.47 #6 Bun Mi Thit (pork) is probably the recommended pick. $15 Canh Bun (Vietnamese Water Spinach Noodle Soup). Simple, and clean. I've never had this before. The soup isn't as think as my 1 experience with Bun Rieu at a different restaurant. The broth here was light, but I didn't really get much seafood infused taste. Nonetheless, I would reorder this again if craving comfort night soup. Takeout to heat at home, or eat there. $2.50 Fried Banana. Yum! You'd think it'd be soggy or spongy but it wasn't. It was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It wasn't overly sweet either. I may be interested to try next time -- $11 Chao Long (Pork Offal Congee). $6.47 #6 Bun Mi Thit (pork) to confirm if consistency is still the same. $2.50 Fried Banana again because I love pastry like desserts.
