They make their food fresh daily on site or to order, and the place opens at 8:00 am. I ordered a grilled pork bánh mì and a special bánh mì, each for $7.10. Honestly, they're not as good as the bánh mì I usually get back in OC, but they're decent enough. The Vietnamese coffee was just okay nothing special. I also got some sticky rice and a steamed bun. Overall, it's more about filling up than having an amazing meal. The place looked clean, and it was pretty busy when I visited, so I had to wait a bit for my bánh mì. The staff were very friendly , attentive, and easy parking. One thing to note: if you pay with a credit card, the establishment adds a 4% surcharge to help offset processing costs, so cash might be the better option. read more

The bánh mì at Dakao Sandwiches are seriously so good. The bread is the real standout... perfectly crunchy on the outside, chewy on the inside, and sturdy enough to hold all the fillings together without falling apart. Every bite has that ideal balance of texture and flavor that makes a great bánh mì. The shop itself is located in a somewhat rundown strip mall, and parking can definitely be a challenge since there aren't many spaces for the number of businesses in the plaza. That said, it's absolutely worth the visit. It gets pretty busy, which isn't surprising considering how affordable and delicious the food is. Service can be a bit hit-or-miss and tends to slow down when they're packed, but the quality of the sandwiches keeps people coming back. If you're looking for a tasty, no-frills bánh mì spot, this one delivers. read more

Dakao is my favorite spot whenever I'm craving for banh mi! It's located in this small plaza right in the corner and parking can sometimes be difficult due to how tight/disorganized it can be. The place itself is clean, small, and more of a pickup spot. However, there are a few chairs and tables to dine in and sit at while you wait. They have fridges full of drinks, snacks, and other Vietnamese dishes that you can pickup along with your sandwiches. My go-to order is always their #1 - House Special and whenever they have nem chua, I pick that up as well. It's so good here and they give the right amount of meat, pickled veggies, and spread. I believe they do charge a credit card fee, so cash is preferred! Service is always good. They're always friendly and quick. Keep in mind, they do have a buy 5 get 1 free! My only complaint is that I've asked to cut my 2 sandwiches in half before since I like to eat half and save the other for another meal. They ended up cutting through the paper instead, leaving the bag full of crumbs. Usually when requested this way, they cut the actual sandwich instead. Technically this isn't wrong as well. So as a tip for my future self, I'd definitely specify how I'd like my sandwich to be halved LOL. I'm sad that they've been steadily raising the prices though throughout time. read more

Dakao is a great authentic banh mi place to stop by and grab a sandwich or a few quick bites that they already have premade. There is also plenty of parking available out front. I tried the Banh Mi Dac Biet (always my go to). The sandwich was good, however I think it was a little thin. From previous experiences, my banh mi are generally pretty full, and I would have liked for them to add a little more meat. The pate, however, was delicious and definitely made the sandwich very tasty. I'm glad I got the chance to come try Dakao, I would definitely come back! read more

Dakao Sandwiches - Sandwiches Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

I came with two others and we love that it opens at 8 AM!! there were already a group of other people here at 8:30 in the morning so there was a little bit of a wait. I was really glad that I called about 15 minutes before we got here so we could pick up the sandwiches and get going on our day at CES. I REALLY enjoyed the sandwiches!!! I actually feel a little hunger pangs writing this review!! AND... I almost came back the next day except that I knew there are so many great places in Vegas Chinatown to try. But it was that good, that I was tempted to return and eat the same meal again. The bread was fresh, and I have no complaints about it. The filling was abundant and flavorful. I got to try the grilled pork and the house special and both were just spectacular. Great price points. Not exactly a sit down and eat their place even though they had a couple tables, it's mostly a takeout place. They also took credit card. A really solid banh mi place!!! I can see why the other yelpers rated it very highly. It definitely is better than what we have available in the DMV area on the East Coast. Bummed to leave Vegas and the amazing Asian food and In N Out Next time I'm in Vegas, this will definitely be on the place to consider to return!! If anyone is on the fence about coming here please do not hesitate at all. It will not disappoint! Also, the pandan sponge cake here was warm and totally knocked it out of the park!!!! Best one I've tasted so far anywhere!! read more

Went in at 3pm for some banh mi and they out of banh mi like???? Went for the banh cuon instead cuz i was starving. It was $10 for this, quality is just ok for the price, barely any meat in between the rice sheets. Feels more like a banh uot with slices of some pork for me. At least the fish sauce was decent. Service was meh :/ Interior is small, more like a togo place. They only got 1 table which i ate at. read more

Although my sandwiches were just average, I really liked some of their other items 4 stars Banh day - Perfect chewy texture of dough to go with the cha chien Banh gio - Softer than others I've had, so it falls apart easily, but it is good if you eat in the mornings when they are freshly made Cha chien - always love me some of this 3 stars Banh mi dac biet Banh mi thit heo nuong Nem chua read more

Authentic vietnamese banh mi sandwiches with amazing bread! Try the number one special for sure and their freshly made spring rolls. Dakao Sandwiches is more of a to go restaurant hence their solo table for waiting. Very minimal decor with a large sign of all their banh mi sandwiches plus coolers with other vietnamese delicacies including drinks and dessert. Make sure to try all their sandwiches! read more

I'm not sure if I was simply famished, but I truly enjoyed my sandwich! I ordered the BBQ Pork Banh Mi loaded with all the fixings, and it hit the spot. While this was definitely more expensive than what I'm used to paying in Westminster, CA (Banh Mi heaven!), it was still absolutely worth every bite. Considering how overpriced food has become in Vegas, this felt relatively reasonable. Since I was already in that shopping center, it was a convenient and satisfying stop. However, I probably wouldn't go out of my way to make a special trip just for this sandwich. It's a great spot if you're nearby! read more

Best. Banh mi. Ever. If the #3 is available, I would recommend that. It is a pork option and there is a chef that does it all by hand. The meat is so fresh, juicy, flavorful, and well seasoned. I don't think there are any bad picks from the menu! There's one vegan option available. They pack a great portion of the meat in the sandwich. The cashier may be a little short to you sometimes but he means well. There are two tables for dining with chairs, one for two, and one for four. Then there are 2-3 chairs for waiting. This is a great place for a quick bite or a to go order, but not to study/linger too long. The vegetables are also fresh and well-portioned. It's not too different from other Viet sandwich shops I've been to, they are just vegetables after all. Keep in mind they automatically include peppers, so that is a consideration for non spicy diners. I just wish they closed later, so I can come more often haha. read more

The prices and quality of sandwiches can't be beat. It's a nice mom and pop shop. So a good alternative to chain banh mi sandwiches. I usually get shrimp/pork spring rolls and banh cuon, too. Being cash if you can, I think it's better for smaller places like this. They do accept card, too. The cashiers are always nice and can explain if you're new to this type of Viet food. They have a couple tables if you wanna sit and eat but I order and go. read more

Haven't been in here for a while and they still have the buy 5 get 1 free. The prices are $7+ per sandwich. I chose #6 grilled pork and it was very good. They put a lot of meat. Service was quick. It has no ambiance but clean. We ate our sandwich there and 2 days later we are back to buy more yummmmmy Parking is very limited read more

Solid Bahn Mi! Bread is made in house. Vietnamese sandwiches are all about the bread. Soft and chewy on the inside and crunchy on the outside. Good ratios of meat to bread and unbeatable price in this economy. No frills, just good food. I always get extra pate in my mine. read more

Another place that I want to gatekeep. The best banh mi in Las Vegas in my opinion. Bread is fresh, great pate to meat to veggie ratio and just so well balanced. Service is fantastic and definitely a must try read more

I was really disappointed with my experience here. While waiting for my order, I witnessed a very uncomfortable and unacceptable interaction. One employee (a short-haired woman) called out an order number. The customer walked up to the counter, but apparently didn't respond loudly enough. The employee then made a rude comment in Vietnamese, calling the customer "a stupid mute," clearly assuming the customer didn't understand the language. It was shocking and incredibly disrespectful to hear staff openly trash a customer like that. To be clear, the other employees working at the time were polite and seemed fine, but this single interaction completely ruined the experience. Treating customers this way--especially behind a language barrier--is not okay. read more

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. read more

Easy parking within a shopping plaza We came out early in the morning and it was pretty packed with customers going in and out. Clean ambience packed with tons of food and dessert selections within their showcase and refrigerator. This review is solely based on the Banh Mi sandwich as I have yet to try their full selection of foods Rating 3/5 lots of bread and a little meat and veggies inside. I would go to Saigon Baguette Over this spot strictly for Banh Mi sandwiches read more

I really like the banh mi here and prefer this spot over others in Vegas, including Carrot & Daikon. It's a small, no-frills shop, so nothing fancy, but the sandwiches are well worth it. I usually get the grilled pork. The baguette is on the thinner side, which I really like. The best parts are how flavorful the marinade on the meat is and the mayonnaise they use. The cold cuts are also tasty. And if you like nem chua, they sell it here too! read more

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. read more

They open at 8am. You better come early because their stuff is gone quickly. The owners are very nice even I don't know a word they say, but just point at the items you want from the display, mission completed. They have probably the best baguette in town, and they are "buy 5 get one free". I love their veggie one and cured pork one. They have really good Vietnamese ham roll which is perfect for noodle soup, stir fry, or just put in sandwiches or salad. They have some very authentic desserts and pastries, too. And of course, the very strong and sweet condensed milk Vietnamese coffee. My favorite here is the dry rice noodle box!! If you want to dine in, they can heat up the noodles or pastry for you. read more

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 read more

Dakao Sandwiches - Banh Mi Dac Biet/ House Special - Sandwiches Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Got some sandwiches from here to enjoy at CES as our usual annual tradition. I come for sandwiches occasionally and never had any issues until this day. The sandwich was skimpy, barely any ingredients compared to usual. The bread was flat but soft. As soon as I took the bite I tasted the horrible bitterness and spit it out. I examined the sandwich the radish was bad and you can clearly see it's gone bad because it's turned almost translucent and dark. See photos. We purchased 6 sandwiches and they were all the same. Unfortunately our group won't be returning anymore. read more

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!! read more

Came back to Vegas and brought my parents along this time! They'd never had a Bánh mì sandwich before. Got them the #12, and they devoured it in minutes. I had an 8-hour drive back listening to them talk non-stop about how amazing it was. Such a phenomenal place! Highly recommend if you're in Vegas. read more

This spot is in a corner tucked in a plaza in Chinatown that's not too busy so parking is easy. It is a to go spot so don't expect to sit and eat. I would give their bahn mi a 5/10 it wasn't bad just not too memorable compared to the other delicious bahn mi around the area. They also have other quick Vietnamese bites for grab and go like fresh spring rolls ect read more

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. read more

Definitely would never ever return here. The employee with the short hair and cap on today was so rude.. not just to us but to every paying customer coming in. I understand if you're having a bad day but you should not be taking it out on customers. Upon calling out our number 106 my sister went up to the counter to get our food. She yelled and asked "what numba!?" and my sister said 106 in which the employee responded "mute? Don't know how to respond?!" In Vietnamese thinking we don't speak Vietnamese. My sister then responded by saying I did respond but you didn't respond back In Vietnamese. I then told her if she was having a bad day please take a break from work. Take your business elsewhere where it's appreciated and you won't be leaving in a bad mood! Too bad I had already ordered the sandwiches and didn't want to return them because the lady that took our order was super nice and friendly! read more

Me and my bf decided to try out a new banh mi place, and this place did not disappoint. Probably the best tasting baguette from any of the other banh mi joints i've tried in Vegas, it's crunchy but doesn't hurt the top roof of your mouth and super airy/chewy on the inside. I love my banh mi's with a lot of pate and viet butter/mayo, and in my opinion they were pretty generous for my order. The only complaint I have is that the sandwiches could use more pickled veggies and cilantro. Service was quick, the aunties up front weren't rude at all. Lots of parking in this plaza but it does get filled up pretty quick. I will always compare the taste and price of banh mi's from OC but this spot has made my top 3 when I am craving a good banh mi. The price point averaging around $6.50 per sandwich, which you honestly cant beat for Vegas pricing and the amount you get. read more

Flavor 9/10. I'm from on Orange County and we have Banh mi shops on every corner. These guys are up there in rank. Really good banh mi wow!

Not friendly. Food not fresh and expensive. It doesn't have the quality in the food. Place doesn't seem to be clean. I went here twice. Both times very disappointed. read more

Dakao's bánh mì đặc biệt hit the spot! It was a no frills sandwich shop--you order, you pay, you wait, you walk out with your food--but its simplicity is a reminder that not all great dishes come with pretty plates and garnishes. Their baguette was fresh, and crunchy but not too hard on the bite. The pickled daikon and carrots offered a relief of acidic sweetness and lightness, accentuated by cucumbers and cilantro. The variety of deli meats included were standard but of good quality. I didn't mind the proportion of ingredients per bite (I'm kind of a small eater), but I could see how someone might want more meat, pate, or mayo. I'd definitely keep this on my list of places to return to when I want a good, mom and pop type, classically done bánh mì! read more

So far we've only tried Dan Han and Dakao. Out of the 2, Dakao is slightly better. The bread is still dry, but it's ok if you don't toast it. Once you retoast it, it crumbles apart. I wouldn't go out of my way to go here or buy banh mi from here, but if someone gave it to me for free (which my nail girl did), I wouldn't not eat it. read more

Very friendly and welcoming ambiance. Their Banh mi sandwiches and Vietnamese iced coffees were delicious!

Honestly, I've been here only a few times and each time I really tell myself to take pictures of the food before I devour but I forget and by the time I realize, I've already finished and inhaled my sandwich. This place is literally the best place to get authentic banh mi in Vegas so far for me. It hits every time and they are fast and consistent. The crunch upon biting but met with soft and warmth of the bread and followed by the juicy meats and veggies, literally 100/10 for me. I've also tried almost all their banh mi options and each one I can honestly say are all amazing. The one that surprised me the most is the egg and sausage bahn mi. Killer flavors and out of this world. Surprised me so much that I was blown away by it that I always want it now. Try this place, you will not regret it!!! Please note this place is small and there's like 2 small tables but this is meant to be an order and pick up type of place so be mindful of this if you are looking for a dine in experience/ lounge type. read more

My friend and I have been on the hunt for banh-mi sandwiches. This location as recommended to us by his Vietnamese hairdresser. I do appreciate that the shop specializes in banh-mi sandwiches only! Their take on the veggie was very satisfying. It came with sauteed vegetables, mushrooms to be exact, with tofu. It curbed my craving. We did come towards the end of the day and they were out of some items but I would like to come back and try to steak banh-mi. Very friendly staff! A small section for seating is available inside. read more

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! read more

Legit banh mi. Stuffed full with filling, generous with the pâté and mayo, and the perfect ratio of cilantro. The baguette is crispy, light, and airy, quite a contrast to Lee's Sandwiches where their bread is chewy and stale. read more

I've been eyeing this place for awhile. I know they've been here for a long time. I'm a bahn mi fanatic. I ordered the grilled chicken bahn mi. Customer service is meh. Place is tiny. First off the sandwich is huge. It's bigger than any bahn mi I've had. The bread is delicious, no complaints there. Now let's go to the chicken. There was nothing grilled about it. It was shredded white meat like the ones you get from Costco. It was overfilled with too much chicken. There were hardly any veggies in there. They definitely skimped on a lot of it. I probably won't be back. At least I tried it to peak my curiosity. read more
