My wife loves the banh sew. Not too greasy with plenty of fresh herbs and veggies. The dip sauce is just right. Not too sweet or fishy. Service is quick and friendly. Ambience is not fancy, tables and chairs, always packed. I usually order an extra banh mi to go. Check this place out. You won't regret it.

While I make it a point to grab some banh mis to go whenever I'm around, I've never eaten in the restaurant until this weekend. HL is a sleeper because their menu options are big, portions are BIG, AND the food is still decently priced with most entrees being $14. This is getting harder and harder to find, due to cost of living and inflation. Bun Bo Hue (BBH) - Really good! Nice big bowl of noodles with all the usual suspects. Can get this with or without blood cubes. They serve this with a lot of veggies and herbs which is nice because some places are so skimpy. The flavor of the broth is delicious but not spicy. You'll need to add more of the chili oil and other table condiments. Banh cuon - It only said it was served with cha lua (vietnamese meat loaf) but I was surprised to see it came with a shrimp and potato fritter, as well as a good serving of bean sprouts, cucumbers and pickled daikon/carrot on the side. They give you a small side of sambal as well fish sauce to dip or pour over your banh cuon. The portion is huge for $14 and I really loved the taste of the cha lua, which I'm pretty sure is house made. The rice rolls could be a little thinner but they were filled well! The shrimp fritter was okay... two shrimps with shells on btw. It added a nice crunch to the meal but it was pretty greasy with a thicker batter. My fav shrimp fritter comes from Tay Ho but can't complain! Nem Nuong Spring Roll - I was expecting a couple small spring rolls for $5 but these thangs were long and thicccc (thats what she said). The nem nuong inside isn't overly sweet, but its a long thin slice that spans the whole roll so every bite is the perfect bite :) The eggroll wrapper was nice and crunchy, and the the roll not overly filled with noodles. Very shareable, but ask them to cut it in half or thirds! Was a hot day so we got Soursop smoothie, no pearl and a fresh OJ. Vietnamese OJ hits different. It tastes exactly the way you imagine an orange should taste, but so much better. I'm pretty sure they add some kind of syrup and sugar to it to enhance it because no way is it just fresh squeezed oranges only. Slightly pulpy but not too bad. Soursop is usually my fav but idk if they messed up and gave me the wrong one or what. It tasted very limey lol Only took a couple sips before trashing it. I've never had their shakes before but I found it was very icey, and less creamy than other places. Service is so so. If you want to eat in, just sit at a table and somebody will bring you a menu. The food comes out quick but they won't check on you again after that. If you need anything extra like water, napkins, the check, you'll need to wave someone down. They take CC though, so that's a plus! Parking lot is big, shared with SF market and all the other stores in the plaza so it can get pretty hectic. HL side has a small side lot, so try your luck there otherwise it'll be a walk as they're the corner store.

I chose the corti special ( they chose the meat) i didn't know what to expect but with so many people raving i knew i wouldn't be disappointed. I really recommend using the online feature and allowing 30-60mins, i placed my order and grabbed what i needed from target. By the time i was done so was my sandwich ready for pick up. Plenty of parking in front but i recommend the side as it's less busy with quick ins and outs of cars. I walked in and all the ready orders are placed in a pick up area! Please make sure you pick up YOUR sandwich. I paid and all took about 2-5 mins. Got home and ok this sandwich was huge for $9. They packed on the meat and tbh i don't know what kind of meat it was and don't think i would have ordered it on my own but it was GOOD. I split with my hubby who couldn't even finish his half. My roll was soft and fluffy. Packed with crisp lettuce and fresh tomatoes. Something about fresh veggies that make a sandwich a 10

I really like shopping at Corti Brothers. They have so many unique things that you don't find at…read moreevery grocery store, and even their baked goods are unique and really good quality. They have fresh-baked bread, delicious New York cheesecake, chocolate cake, banana chocolate chip bread, and so many other goodies. They also have a great selection of Italian foods and specialty items. It is definitely on the expensive side, and I don't think I've ever spent less than $80 when I shop here, but I feel it's worth it every time. I've had their sandwiches before, and they're okay--not anything special--but I mainly come here for the baked goods and unique selection. The store is nice, clean, and usually busy. The only downside is that the parking could be better. Definitely a great place to shop when you're looking for something a little different!

What a bright, fun, airy space in the Ice Blocks! This place was hopping early in the lunchtime hour. Seemed like a mix between eat-in, to-go and pick-up orders. Fast, friendly service and great food. What more can you ask for? I enjoyed their Baja Green Goddess salad with Impossible chorizo (even though I eat meat) and picked up a vegan banh mi and seasonal BLT for some friends. All were tasty and nicely packed to-go. I look forward to returning to try more things and their different locations.

First, the menu boards...it's a lot of delicious varieties that's hard to remember the exact names to order once you step up to the cashier. But the staff is wonderful, happy service people...that help you out to correct and clarify. My favorites: ============ * Impossible Taco Salad [5.0 stars] -- my favorite salad. * Mama Chen's Chinese Chicken Salad [5.0 stars] -- omg, the chicken. * Avocado & Quinoa Superfood Ensalada w/Chicken [4.5 stars] * Saved Drake Farm's Salad w/chicken [4.5 stars] Seasonal favorites: ================ * Seasonal: Tuna on wheat (they are huge) [5.0 stars] * Seasonal "The 8 Hour" Smoked BBQ Pulled Pork sandwich [4.0 stars]: Pork was tender, but way too sweet and on grilled panini? Hardly. It was a 6" roll cut in half, and barely toasted or grilled. Plus, it doesn't come with chips, c'mon! That's a necessity in my book! Also: ==== * The Farm Club Sandwich [4.5 stars] * Habanero potato chips by Mama Zuma's...excellent. * Love the soda machine. You won't find Poopsi or Poke here, only Puck's - an all natural, no artificial colors or preservatives (you'll have to bring it from the outside if you want it!). Recommend: The Black Cherry. One peeve: ========== No salt shakers. If you ask, they have to go to the back and bring out a little paper cup worth. Almost making up for it are really nice pepper grinders brought to your table upon request.

It's a pretty popular restaurant so joining the waitlist on Yelp helps to get in the queue. When we got there, we were already on the Yelp waitlist so our wait wasn't really long. For this visit, we had the following: Dishes - Ribeye steak and Vietnamese shaking beef, Crispy Fish Sauce chicken wings both served with red rice. Drinks - Kumquat lemongrass tea and coconut coffee Their food is really good, reasonably priced. Staff were attentive and friendly, definitely provided great service. Atmosphere was lively but not loud. Simply decorated. There's a small space for waiting customers. Definitely highly recommended when you're in this area but be prepared for the wait especially on a high peak day like the weekends. August 2026

On the other hand, if you want to try some unique and tasty Vietnamese dishes, I recommend giving Saigon Oi a try. The menu isn't extremely extensive, offering about nine different entrees to choose from along with another half a dozen or so appetizers. Yet all the dishes are interesting and unique. For example, we ordered - Banh Khot which are Vietnamese min pancakes with a crunchy shell and shrimp - Banh Canh Cua - crab meat udon - Banh Mi Chao - deconstructed Banh mi - Crispy Fish Sauce chicken wings All the dishes came out hot and flavorful. Service was efficient. Would definitely come back to try the other dishes!

The Sandwich Spot is a stable in midtown and such a gem. I love the Hornet and highly recommend it…read morefor any of my chicken and pesto lovers out there. My to-go order is the Hornet on a Dutch crunch roll with everything on it except mustard. Make it a combo with chips and a drink, and you'll have an incredible lunch. The ambiance is different from other sandwich spots in midtown. The chairs and tables are older and worn, and it's small inside, but it's also inside an old house that was converted into a restaurant. That alone makes this place unique. People hang out inside or outside with friends and enjoy the vibes. There's a real sense of community that the Sandwich Spot brings along with uniquely crafted sandwiches. All of the sandwiches are named after people or landmarks in Sacramento. The staff are all friendly, knowledgeable about the menu and will help you with recommendations if you're not sure which sandwich to get. It honestly feels like you're in the company of good friends. The staff joke around and seem to enjoy their job and working together. You won't be disappointed by trying the Sandwich Spot during your next lunch break or on the weekend, hanging out with a friend.

The restaurant is in a really cool old Victorian house, and the staff were super friendly. The interior was clean and looked like a nice place to dine in, but I ended up taking my order to go. I ordered the #19 with turkey, prosciutto, avocado, and swiss on a dutch crunch roll. The bread had just gone into the oven, so we had to wait about 10 minutes, but I can't complain because it was baked fresh to order. Overall, I thought the sandwich was very good, but honestly not quite as amazing as people online had made it out to be. It was definitely good, but I don't know if I'd be dying to go back when I think Ike's, Mr. Pickle's, Corti Bros, and maybe even Nugget or Sprouts make more interesting sandwiches. To me, those places use slightly higher quality ingredients as well, though maybe I just didn't order the best sandwich here. Overall, it was a good sandwich and a good experience. My expectations were probably just a little too high. I wouldn't be dying to come back but also wouldn't say no if someone wanted to go there for lunch.

There are flies flying everywhere. The food used to be good but now it's mid. The waiters doesn't check up if you're doing good either or ask to refill your water. I asked for a to-go box, the guy in the red seemed like he was going to get it for me when he said yes, he never came back and acted like our interaction never happened. The spring rolls are mid, the peanut sauce is ok not as flavorful. The fried rice tastes ok too. Their eggrolls are super good and crunchy tho. I ordered the vermicelli noodles, it was also mid.

The sourdough is so soft and chewy, the aioli is fantastic, the whole composition is well done. The place is no frills, go up to the counter and order to take out, no tables but I took it to McKinley park which is just 4 min drive away. I'll definitely be back to try other sandwiches. Don't forget to get cash on the way!

I tried…read morecoming here twice, on Sunday and Monday only to find out those are the two days they're closed... this past third time was the charm and oh man these sandwiches are amazing -- well worth the hype! By far the most popular sandwich here is the Panko Crusted Eggplant, so while I'm not the biggest fan of eggplant --especially as part of a sandwich -- I knew it was a must try. Packed with roasted peppers, arugula and layered with Manchego cheese in a light balsamic reduction, this is a delightful symphony of textures and flavors that even non-vegetarians will fall for. Just try it, trust me! We also got the Grilled Chicken, which was a more classic combo of tender (despite not being thinly sliced) chicken, crispy bacon and greens. While the eggplant was more texturally complex and unique, for return visits it's more likely that I'd gravitate to this one because of how how clean it tastes overall... but honestly both sandwiches were pretty much tied for my favorite! The key ingredients that make these sandwiches so magical are simply two things: their bread and the addictive basil aioli sauce. Imo, bread is always the foundation of a good sandwich and Juno's has perfected a chewy, crunchy and airy vehicle with simple yet delicious ingredient combinations and just the right amount of sauce. I also appreciated how each sandwich comes with your choice of side: either thinly sliced herb potatoes or balsamic salad. It's crazy that I've been living here for over three years and only just tried this place for the first time?! A super no-frills deli with friendly staff, Juno's officially wins my vote for the best sandwiches in town. PS: closed on Sundays and Mondays and cash-only but if you forget there's an ATM conveniently located at the liquor store across the street
