    Bánh Mì Đặc Biệt / House Special Sandwich Cà Phê Sửa Đá / Vietnamese Coffee
    Alexander C.

    Ordered delivery, yes I'm lazy like that. I got the dac biet house special sandwich. First the bread is fantastic, lightly crispy with a fluffy interior. Toppings were generous including a lot of pate. Though since we're being honest, this sandwich was just okay. It was good and fresh but lacked flavor. Maybe needed some maggi seasoning or something. It just lacked. On the other hand, my Vietnamese coffee smacked hard! It's so strong with an amazing sweet flavor. I was shaking from the caffeine pump, well worth it. With so many banh mi shops around San Diego I'd be hard pressed to order from here again. But never say never when a place also has bbq pork!

    I got the house special. I believe it had different cuts of ham. It was really good but I think next time I'll ask to have it toasted because it's served cold. The staff was really friendly and service was quick. They also helped me decide what to get. The inside is small but very clean.

    Not too expensive...

    The Vietnamese food here is very delicious! We ordered: 1-Heo Quay, 1-spring roll, 1-Pateso, 1-egg roll/Cha Gio, 1-Large Thai Tea, Everything was delicious! Highly recommend you give this place a try.

    I've come here several times and it's one of my favorite places to get banh mi. The shop is tiny inside and there's one table. The workers are always sweet and quick with the orders. My favorites to get are the banh mi house special and the banh mi grilled pork.

    Hefty servings in the sandwiches. They need better descriptions because I could lose the large chucks of onion. The brisket was tasty but I enjoyed the crispy pork sandwich much better. Service is good and they were friendly. They made a nice but very sweet Vietnamese coffee. The place only had one table inside with 3 chairs. Very casual and can be crowded when people waiting in line. Lots of parking but it is still better to great and go.

    Banh Mi Express is an absolute gem. The banh mi sandwiches are fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced--crispy bread, savory meats, and just the right amount of pickled veggies and sauce. You can tell everything is made with care, and the portions are generous for the price. Service is quick and friendly, making it a great stop whether you're grabbing lunch on the go or craving something satisfying without the long wait. The menu is simple but solid, and every bite hits. If you're looking for a reliable spot for a delicious banh mi, Banh Mi Express delivers every time. Highly recommend.

    Got the grilled pork banh mi, no mayo. The bread was not crispy at all and the pork had no grill flavor. The redeeming qualities were that the size was pretty big and they did not skimp on the meat or veggies. It does seem like they make the bread in house so not sure why it wasn't crispy/fresh. Not busy at all on a Sat at 1pm. Very quick to get the sandwiches.

    Absolutely delicious. I order from here maybe once a week. I love the bread and how the pork is seasoned. Make sure you double check your order though because they have gotten my order wrong a few times. I still go back

    Tasty little thing, these sandwiches are. Enjoyed the pork belly, recommended by the staff. Nice flavor combo toasted bread and pork belly with pickled vegetables. Staff were friendly and polite helped with our choose. The place is small but have a few seats out side to wait at. Get the coffee, strong and very good.

    For my coworker's birthday, I ordered some spring rolls, and lots of banh mi. I got the house special, grilled chicken, vegetarian, crispy pork belly, and grilled pork. I never had crispy pork belly in banh mi before. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It was a bit fatty, but so delicious! I also like the grilled pork and chicken ones as well. If you're craving for banh mi, this spot is worth a visit.

    Solid place for your Banh Mi fix. I ordered the chicken and pork Banh mi sandwiches. Both had that classic crispy baguette crust with a soft interior. Their sandwiches are served in 9 inch portions. They're very generous with their ingredients. The meat was marinated to a flavorful crescendo of deliciousness. (A little dramatic I know lol) The interior was clean and simple. The service was friendly and humble. Overall, a great place to grab a delicious Banh mi sandwich and spring rolls.

    I believe I have just found my new favorite coffee shop on Third ave. I've been here once before…read morebut this was my first time trying the food and holy moly! Lets talk about the vibes first...amazing decor and vibes, decor and walls and atmosphere is very cool and unique I truly love it so much. The staff is very nice, offering suggestions on drinks with big smiles and welcoming energy. Now the drinks and food: the drink I got last time was an iced mocha (no picture but I remember it was very good). This time I went with my mom and we both got the "Moon" drink.. a Chai/Matcha which was such a good drink, I want like a 40oz of it to take with me home for the week. I also ordered the pesto turkey sandwhich to share and I can not express how good this was. Perfectly crispy, juicy and fresh. Took the first bite and literally gasped because not only was the bread toasted to perfection but the veggies and turkey were so flavorful. The veggies and pesto and turkey were also layered in a way that made every bite delectable and that to me is art. Loved it, want more of it and I WILL be back to try more drinks and sandwhiches.

    Eeeeek! Omg I love this place and you will too after reading my review…read more I've recently found this place from a studio I go to nearby. It's third ave I mean if you are from San Diego you know it's either neighborhood parking or the meters. Not a big deal though. I am greeted by Karely and her big smile, one of the baristas. It is tiny location but long, they have two gender neutral bathrooms at the end. A few tables to sit down inside and out. A cute bench with the view of third ave traffic. Interior decor is super cute I loved, one of my favs was this board they have which is a basically you pay a coffee forward and you put the sticky there for the next person to get their drink. I totally don't work there so I would just reconfirm what can be redeemed. Drink: I get an iced dirty chai WITH banana cold foam. 10/10 must try. They also offer matcha for you matcha lovers. Grind house has found a new customer and yes, I've already brought so many friends here. My only suggestion would be to maybe have a phone charging station, that's all! :)

    I wanted something quick for lunch and saw that this had good reviews so decided to check it out…read more It's located in the back of the liquor store and once you place your order you can pay up front. I went with a godfather sandwich and the first thing I noticed is that the sandwich is absolutely stuffed. They are not shy about putting meat in here which I appreciate as sometimes sandwich spots give a less than desirable amount. I was also surprised at how good the Dutch crunch I chose tasted (it had a slight chew but was also fluffy at the same time). It definitely wasn't the cheapest sandwich (after tax it was around 19 bucks) but based on the ingredients and amount of meat I'd say it's fair value!

    The Best sandwiches!…read more The sandwiches I ordered for my event at my new business were absolutely amazing! Everything was fresh, beautifully presented, and made with so much care. My guests couldn't stop complimenting how delicious they were--perfectly balanced flavors and high-quality ingredients in every bite. They not only looked great laid out for the event, but they also added such a professional and elevated touch to the experience. The service was smooth, timely, and stress-free, which made hosting so much easier. I'll definitely be ordering again and highly recommend them for any event or gathering!

It's a #11 with peppers, bacon added, no mayo and kickin ranch instead. The sandwich tasted dry to me. I think I should eat it fresh next time because we waited until we got home.

It is a refreshing change from the rest of the sandwich shops. Upon walking in the door, I noticed a clean and tidy little sandwich shop. I was greeted by a friendly cashier who was very welcoming to me. I ordered a tuna sandwich with a bag of chips and a bottled water. The sandwich had a plentiful amount of provolone cheese, lettuce, tomato, and tuna. The flavor was so tasty too. I decided to try a side of the cherry peppers they have available to place on my sandwich. What a great kick of flavor it gave my tuna sandwich! The chips were the perfect accessory to my sandwich! If you want a change of pace, a great variety of sandwiches to choose from bursting with awesome flavor come to Jimmy John's where your taste buds will thank you! Thank you Jimmy for creating such an award-winning sandwich chain bringing it to California! Love it' #jimmyjohns #yelpsandiego #sandiegoeats
