    Bahn Mi - delicous
    George B.

    Incredibly yummy coffee and bahn me. Cool decor on the walls. Very nice owners and employees! A wonderful experience. Bahn me with grilled chicken was nicely fresh and delicious.

    Spicy shrimp

    Imagine my SHOCK when we found this spot when we were on our way back home from Oregon. From the outside, it doesn't look like much. Just a normal, family run cafe with cozy vibes. BUT you walk in and they have the most extensive menu you've ever seen! We came in looking for breakfast, thinking we'd be settling for some breakfast sandwich or burrito but they had Vietnamese food! Available at breakfast time! While I love a good eggs Benedict, nothing beats Asian comfort food for me. Service is super friendly and they were very patient as we kept changing our minds as we were conflicted on what we could eat during our limited time here. The spicy shrimp was soooo tasty. I do wish that the eggs were runny or something but that's in a perfect world. The vermicelli bowl was always very tasty and refreshing. Will be back if I'm ever passing through again!

    Special banh mi
    Alexandre D.

    Everytime I visit Manteca I always come here for a banh mi. Nice lil mom and pop shop and the owners/staff are always friendly and attentive. My family and I always order the special banh mi and it's a 10/10 always. The sandwich itself is thick and filling it usually last my family two meals but i be finishing it like a snack. They have other items on their menu other than banh mi, such as sandwiches, paninis, rice bowls, drinks, and smoothies. They have indoor and outdoor seating as well. Yall slide thru over here don't be missing out!!

    Friendly Cambodian family run business. Small cafe with In door / outdoor seating option . No waitstaff, order food at the counter . Definitely a great place for breakfast, brunch and lunch . Serves American style sandwiches, salads , bagels , mixed tea & fruit beverages . Variety of Cambodian Nom Pang / Vietnamese Banh Mi sandwiches. nostalgia moments bring me back to my childhood , their Khmer rice plate with eggs, Chinese sausage and spam. many Asian kids after school snacks . My two youngest mentioned the Chinese sausage were hard, it was a challenge to penetrate with their plastic fork . Cambodian Nom Pang / Vietnamese Bahn mi ( sandwiches) with sour pickled daikon/ carrots , love it add so much flavor when combined with the fried eggs and American style sausage patties and the toasted crunchy bread. My vermicelli chicken bowl needs improvement , the noodles were a tad too al dente not as soft , the chicken were more bland in taste . I appreciate the the abundance of vegetables, the sweet / sour fish sauce dip really compliments the flavor My two eldest were impressed with their hot toasted sandwiches . They mentioned "this is really good ". Needless to say the next day , they asked to stop by again before our drive back home . Sadly the business is closed on Sunday.

    Correct me if i'm wrong, but I believe this is the only place in Tracy, Lathrop, and Manteca that sells lox bagels. Not only that, but they passed my teenagers taste test This shop has everything - boba tea, bagels, breakfast sandwiches and coffee.

    Love supporting family business. We came across this spot by Yelp. Cute little spot in the corner of a plaza . Lots of parking and it wasn't busy when we came in around lunch time. They have some out door seating which was nice since the weather was super nice. The cashier was friendly and also really helpful as she mentioned my latte had no coffee in it. She mentioned she can add a shot if I liked. We ordered the iced ube Vietnamese coffee too. They had a variety of sandwiches and bahn mi sandwiches. Both sandwiches were really tasty and delicious. The staff were really friendly and personable. I will definitely come here with the family.

    This place has been saved on my list of places for quite a while lol since I'm in the area I wanted to come by and get a quick bite, and I'm so glad i did. Me and hubby came in and didn't have trouble finding it. The place is pretty small but really cute decor and a few tables for sitting inside and outside. I was greeted as I walked in there is a handful of sandwiches on the menu and drinks. The food was amazing very flavorful with each bite there was a crunch as well definitely want to come back for another one lol. Everything was a hit.

    Thai Iced Tea, Vietnamese Iced Coffee
    Susan Z.

    I love this place so much, they deserve more recognition for their delicious banh mis and extremely friendly staff! I highly recommend their thai tea, blended -- you won't regret it. It's so creamy and the thai tea flavor is so prominent and delicious. I get it so much that the staff remembers my order! This has been my favorite place to get banh mi and sandwiches.

    My family and I bought Banh Mi and a few items To-Go. It was out first time visiting and they are surprisingly great! Food tastes fresh. The Banh Mi was exceptional. Price wise it was not expensive. The owners was provided excellent service! The ambience was warm and homey feel. Definitely recommend this place if you are in the Manteca area.

    Teriyaki chicken
    Megan B.

    We love this place. It's one of those we don't think of often, but if we're on that side of town and decide to eat out it's on our radar. It's a pretty small place and there's not a ton of seating, but the food is worth it. You order up at the counter and service is very friendly. We usually order bahn mi and get chicken teriyaki for our 5 year old. It ends up being plenty of food!

    Vietnamese Iced Coffee
    Rimmi S.

    I got a Venus sandwich and iced Vietnamese coffee! Both very delicious and filling. The service was soo friendly and I could tell it was a family business. It's a nice lit place inside but not many seats. I highly recommend it.

    Chinese BBQ Pork Banh Mi
    Kim S.

    Best Banh Mi sandwiches in town. Fresh and flavorful ingredients. Service team is very friendly. I usually order for pickup but the cafe does offer indoor and outdoor seating. The cafe seems to be a neighborhood staple, they know a lot of their customers, making it a very welcoming atmosphere.

Given the multitude of licenses at stake in such enterprises, I wish to share my recent experience at this location. This morning, my husband and I visited, and we were somewhat disappointed with the quality of our orders. He ordered a vanilla latte with oat milk, while I ordered an oat milk latte with an extra shot of espresso at a temperature of 200 degrees. He also selected a ham, cheese, and egg croissant, and I opted for a bacon and cheese croissant. Regrettably, the items did not meet our expectations. The beverages lacked the desired strength; although the temperature was correct, I was informed after placing our order that they were out of oat milk and had to substitute it with almond milk. Given that we had already paid approximately $30, this was quite disappointing. Despite these concerns, we did not request a discount or refund, and we accepted the substitution that was communicated to us approximately 10 to 15 minutes after placing our order. On a positive note, the staff were very courteous, and the establishment was clean. However, I suspect that the items we ordered may not represent the best offerings on their menu. While the service was commendable, there was a notable wait involved. It would have been preferable to have been informed of the oat milk shortage prior to payment, as we might have chosen to leave at that point. Unfortunately, our dissatisfaction led us to seek alternative options, and we subsequently drove to Stockton to visit Peet's Coffee, where we consistently find lattes prepared to our liking. While we may not return to this location, I do not wish to portray it negatively. It is clear that the establishment has potential, yet our experience did not align with our expectations.

My wife and I stopped in after our jog along the Tidewater Biketrail, making this our lunch pit stop after starting at Lathrop Road. The Char Siu Pork Bánh Mì is an easy 5/5. The baguette was fresh, crispy on the outside, and soft and chewy inside. The char siu pork was tender, juicy, and perfectly caramelized around the edges. Crisp pickled carrots and daikon, plenty of cilantro, and fresh jalapeños brought everything together. It's a well-balanced sandwich with a portion that's just right. The Grilled Chicken Roll'd deserves more attention. The grilled chicken reminded me of a flavorful chicken satay, and the peanut sauce complemented every bite without overpowering the fresh ingredients. If you're looking for a lighter, protein-packed option, this is it. They also offered complimentary strawberry and passion fruit refreshers. They were a little sweeter than my preference, but the flavors were refreshing. Next time, I'd order one at 50% sweetness. The restaurant is clean, inviting, and a welcome escape from the Central Valley heat. Service has always been friendly, and it's the kind of place where both the staff and regulars make you feel welcome. There's also a Tracy location, but I find myself coming back to the Manteca restaurant. It's smaller, more intimate, and has a charm all its own. If you're in the area, I highly recommend stopping by. Great food, great people, and a relaxed atmosphere. I always say, good food brings out the best in people.
