4/29/2026: I was cruising through the Valley and asked hubby to make a stop to pick up a good Banh…read moreMi for later. 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!

She's always acting stupid with me. I give her the benefit of the doubt, but today was though that was it. I went there for a sandwich. She tried to charge me.

What the hell anyone is in the right mind is gonna think of like what's going on like why you charging me extra, she doesn't care she'll sing and speak English. I'm not trying to be prejudice, but this is wrong.

Save ur money go to valley Sandwich on sherman way and reseda way better and delicious and for the pho....a bit watered down. Want good pho go to pho 999 down reseda.

We started with the fried Thai chicken appetizer, which was so good. It came with this green sour dipping sauce that was absolutely bomb and paired perfectly with the crispy chicken. I ordered the Combination Pho, and the broth was incredibly flavorful. It honestly didn't even need any extra hoisin or sriracha it was delicious on its own, which says a lot about a good pho broth. We also tried the Bangkok Wonton Noodles, and the best way I can describe it is like if a Chinese beef noodle soup and a Thai boat noodle had a wonton noodle baby. Such a unique combination, and it totally worked. Definitely something I'd order again. The food and service were both amazing. Everything came out fresh, and everyone was super friendly. I'd absolutely recommend this place, and I can't wait to come back to work my way through the rest of the menu. I was really hoping to try the Short Rib Pho, but they were sold out by the time I got there. Honestly, that just makes me think it must be incredible, so it's at the top of my list for my next visit

Tried this place for the first time…read more The lady who helped us was very nice and polite. I make authentic pho myself so I know what pho should smell and taste like. We got beef pho. The broth did not smell like pho, more like burnt or smoked beef, I couldn't tell to be honest. No hints of cinnamon, star anise, cardamom or fish sauce or any other seasoning pho should have. The food was very disappointing overall for us. Maybe the Thai food is better, idk. Bathroom was not clean. The floors were dirty and the hand soap was empty. We won't be returning unfortunately.

What a cute Vietnamese restaurant!!!…read more I love the beautiful outdoor seating amongst the greenery and lanterns with the Vietnamese clubbing music. Takes me back to Vietnam for a little bit. They have a simple menu but make everything well. I enjoyed the chicken wings with steamed rice. The wings were so good. A bit crunchy, very juicy, the sauce was sweet and savory. There was a ton of garlic and jalepeno. It was so delicious. And the steamed rice paired beautifully. The texture of the rice was so good. My partner had the chicken pho and shaking beef with garlic noodles. He enjoyed them both. He said the chicken was very tender and juicy. The noodles with the beef was his favorite. We both got pandan mung bean drink and fried bananas of course. The fried banana takes time to make, but worth the wait. It's so crunchy! Can't wait to come back to try the rice cakes next time.

I love coming here for good vibes and food. Something unique and different in SFV. Great FoH rep…read moreand chef. They love entertaining their guests and sharing their stories. Fish sauce wings are spot on (if you don't go to Westminster lol). Tangy, mini crunch on the outside, and juicy and moist on the inside. Plus, jampacked with garlic (cooked with a good amount of butter). Not quite sure if the jalapeños do (or taste) anything, but sure why not. Shrimp was good, clean (removed residuals), and not overcooked. Lazy to peel the shrimp skin so I usually eat it. Garlic noodles are great. Slightly oily but better than most places. Lastly, got the Hainan chicken. A bit disappointing by the quantity for the price ($14), but the rice tasted good. I'd personally stick with the shrimp or fish sauce wings. The best part of this place are their fried bananas. I like to get the whole piece and eat it at the end with my refreshing calamansi coco drink. Crispy and fun on the inside because the banana is melted along the exterior hard shell. I recommend the whole fried banana instead of the pieces. Overall, a bit pricey but worth the experience.

I believe the ice cream was avocado flavor? loved it! this spot is so unique and I thought the mixing of diff cuisines in one spot wouldnt work but it surprisingly does!

They pushed a lot of other things on their menu since the pho itself isn't amazing. The noodles were on the firm side which is a plus. The meat itself was average. Service was nearly nonexistent (not rude but didn't offer refills or say thank you to any of the other customers I saw coming in/leaving). The best thing there was the ice water in metal cups. Overall nothing special and slightly on the pricier side. Would not come here again, especially when there are better options nearby.
