Had the worst experience ever. I can understand a place taking only CASH but if you can't tell from OLD 20 dollar bill to a new one you need some help or paper near register showing what type of bills you take. We ordered food and went to pay with an old 20 dollar bill the cashier was so rude said that they won't take the bill because it's old and looks fake. When clearly she used marker on the bill and looked at it, of customers were shocked when this all happened. read more

A bang for your buck! Vietnamese sandwiches in San Jose are so overpriced because of the high demand. Here you can get a large for less than $7! Came here Saturday noon and of course it was really busy. Parking is a little bit difficult, ordering is quick, but you will have to wait several minutes for them to make your order. I got a #1 & a #7. We told the cashier "everything on it" but when we got home, the #7 didn't have any veggies! Isn't that standard? Smh! Aside from that the fried egg wasn't even really a fried egg. It was more of a scrambled egg. Bummer. I would come back here because their grilled pork was absolutely delicious but I'll have to make sure that they include veggies next time. :/ read more

Duc Huong - Vietnamese Near Me - San Jose, California

Why is this place in business?? Walked in to order sandwiches and the old man says "no more" and gestured to already made sandwiches on a platter. How is there no more at 4:50 in the evening. Lazy and bad service to customers! Don't waist your time at this place!! Heading to the one located off McKee! read more

They are overcharging you if you are a white customer. I am a white male and they overcharged me $2 extra for a sandwich. Also made me overpay $2.50 on a drink. The sandwich is old and been sitting around for 4 days. read more

Bad service from old man at the counter. There isn't a full selection like the other locations.

The worst customer service of all time. The Bobby hair cut lady at the register was so rude to the client. After picking an item out of the refrigerator and noticed it had mold and selected something else. The lady was so unpleasant with no namer telling the client not to pick and choose without having any clue why. She even said if I can't sell it to you then I will sell it to another client. Are you for real even after I told you something looks odd about the food??!!! If she is the new owner then good luck because attitude like her I rather go to other places. Yet not to mention the parking is terrible and they only take ca$h read more

Bought a box of hop pate from them on Saturday; the texture was bad, the flavor was off, and threw up from it. went in today to get a return, but the two Vietnamese ladies rudely told me they could not do anything nor give my money back. they pointed at the box and said "bad, no good, no eat" - BUT THIS WAS EXACTLY HOW THE PRODUCT WAS SOLD TO ME. don't waste your time here if you don't speak vietnamese, it is a chaotic mess, the people working here are rude, and i am seriously thinking about reporting them to the health department read more

Great first sandwiches and Vietnamese street foods. It's convenient and can't be beat for the value and taste.

I'm not sure why this place doesn't have better reviews since I really enjoyed my grilled beef banh mi! They always have great prices here, and their bread is really soft. Paired with all the veggies the meat is so good! Plus, they usually only have a couple of seeds in the jalapeños which are easy to pick out! It's so much better than Lee's Sandwiches bread which always scrapes my mouth. read more

VERY SMALL, not very many ready plate options. And they start closing earlier than listed for making sandwhiches

This location is a bit smaller than the others. I went on a weekday around noon and the woman at the counter was so sweet! She mixed my vietnamese iced coffee to order and it was one of the best I've ever had. Perfectly strong and silky from the condensed milk. read more

I really wanted a Bun Bao so I went to this place as I had purchased a Banh Mi at a nearby place. The Bun was $5 which is more than what I have paid at most other places for the same size bun. While the filling was good, there was so little filling. It was more of the covering dough and very little filling inside. Their Banh Mi was also more expensive than their neighboring store (which I thought was already more than what I usually pay for a Banh Mi in San Jose). Won't be going back. read more

Not sure why this Duc Huong is called Duc Huong, it's deceiving and doesn't even come close to the other locations. I was so disappointed. First off, they don't have the buy 4 get 1 free deal. Second, the bread was not fresh and warm as the other locations. Third, the banh mi was subpar at best with little portions of meat and the sandwich lacked flavor. Fourth, they don't accept cards even though the other locations do. I thought cam huong or huong lan tasted much better than this. The sandwich didn't have much meat, didn't have much seasoning/sauces that the other locations put in their sandwich, barely any pickled carrots/daikon, and the pate/mayo was sad. I saw the sad cold sandwich and took a bite, got more sad when I realized it didn't have much flavor. Also, think I pulled hair halfway through, not sure if it was mines or from the restaurant, I continued eating anyways because I was sad I spent $26 on 4 subpar sandwiches. Gross I know... my mouth had an oily weird taste afterwards and wanted to down soda to make it go away. Anyways, I wouldn't come back here and advise others to try the other duc huong locations. There's a reason why this place doesn't have a long of a line out the door. read more

This place takes cash only and never pick up their phone. Poor service. Unkempt and dirty ambient. Very small.

I thought this location did a better job with the grilled pork (less gristle, more flavor, more generous portions) compared to the other locations. I always get the grilled pork with egg (though the egg upcharge is quite substantial these days). Definitely get the garlic bread upgrade for 50 cents more, and ask for extra pickles. Their Vietnamese coffee is also solid. They take card but push for cash. It was past lunch hour, but it still took about 20 min after ordering to get my sandwich. read more

Every time I ask my friends of a banh mi recommendation, they would recommend Duc Huong. I have been to several locations and I am not a fan. This particular location is off to the side of the plaza and there is plenty of parking. My go to banh mi is the combination. The size of the banh mi is huge and can be split into 2 meals for me, and it is inexpensive as well. The taste is not the best though, but I guess you get what you pay for, and for me - I do not mind paying a bit more for a better tasting banh mi. read more

My friend picked up a bunch of their sandwiches and I got to try both the Grilled Pork and Grilled Chicken & Avocado sandwiches. The sandwich looked like a Subway foot long and arrived warm and toasty. I was especially impressed by their generous portion of proteins (pork or chicken) in both of my sandwiches. The grilled pork was marinated really well and full of flavors. The jalapeño pepper added a bright zingy flavor and a nice kick. The warm meat-filled roll and cool, crunchy pickled vegetables make this sandwich so much fun to eat. The ingredients they used to make their Grilled Chicken & Avocado sandwich were also very fresh -- neither overpowered the other. The Vietnamese Iced Coffee was strong and really hit the spot. Definitely going to come to this place again to try out more of their offerings! read more

Came here to order some banh mi's for my coworkers and I. It was a Saturday, the line was out the door. If you're looking for mini banh mi's they're ready to go for $3.75/each with either pork (cha lua) or chicken (thit ga). The regular sized sandwiches go for $5.50/each. If you'd like to add something extra like shredded pork (bi), it'll cost you an extra $1.00. The banh mi itself is crispy and crunchy, not soft and doesn't seem like it's old, like they are sometimes from Banh Mi Oven. The bread at that place is a hit and miss. The banh mi are not the same as the ones from Lee's with the long extra crunch baguettes. The entirety of the sandwich was very fulfilling. For myself, I ordered the banh mi Dac Biet (combo/house sandwich). I was able totaste the paté, cha lua, thit nguoi, cucumbers, jalapenos; however, I just wished the put a decent amount of the pickled carrots and daikon. It's a tiny shop; but they also offer bags of bread loaf, cha lua, small plates, Vietnamese coffee (cafe sua da) and many other things. read more

DUC Huong jack up price and all sandwiches are getting smaller. Take long time to wait for pick up

I agree with the majority of Yelp reviews that this location doesn't do Duc Huong sandwiches justice. Not sure why there is inconsistency in the quality of sandwiches, but the other location in SJ seems to have sandwiches that are fresh compared to this location. The bread and deli meats for the banh mì dac biet were a bit disappointing and I've had Duc Huong sandwiches in the past before. The banh cuon lacked meat and also didn't taste fresh. The banana che was overly sweet. Most likely will go back to the original location in the future. read more

There are so many Banh Mi options in San Jose. But this place has the best Banh Mi in town. First, you have to wait in line to order and then wait outside to pick your order. Worth the wait if you are craving for Banh Mi. read more

Food taste good but prices are going up at an insane rate. Price gouging is the term. The cost of their ingredients didn't increase much. $7 per cha lua now. Today is the last time buying from them. Lots of competition that's on par with taste but cost is not madness. read more

Duc Huong - $14 for both - Vietnamese Near Me - San Jose, California

Stumbled upon this place driving through SJ. Mini banh mi's (yup you heard me right, MINI BANH MI's!!!) are the perfect portion to bring to a gathering and were delicious! Tried the grilled chicken and the ham (two options), both were good. Liked that they pre make them and ready to just pick up and go. Sandwiches were very fresh and bread taste freshly baked. Downside- CASH ONLY, went to gas station across the street to get cash back. read more

I came here expecting it was the same location as the McKee one since I was around the Great Mall area. It's within the same chain, but there are several key differences: - They sadly don't offer the "buy 4, get 1 free" deal here. - They only take cash. - Shop is really small, and the sandwich menu is really hard to see if you're new and unfamiliar about their sandwiches (no screens to display, only posters). - Couldn't tell if they offer garlic bread like the other locations. The sandwiches ($6.50) were very delicious, and they were generous with pate and meat. But I would not come back to this location due to the above points. The parking is also very compact and gets crowded even at 10am on a Saturday morning because it shares the same lot as Pho Kim Long. This location is still a very popular spot because there was a long line when I came. read more

still the best value for bunny in the area lines can be long and you need to wait outside for your order but otherwise, if it's a cool day, no problem read more

Bread is good and crunchy. I got the #12, which is basically spicy pork bugolgi. The meat is well-flavored and not dry. Definitely a good choice. Price is on the higher end compared to other banh mi of the same quality. Otherwise, not bad. read more

If you like pork roll or fried pork roll then come here. If you like rice rolls (banh cuon) then come here as well! This place makes their pork roll (cha lua / cha chien)! This place offers a small selection of deli types of stuff.. banh gio, goi cuon, banh day, mi xao, bi, nem even sandwiches too but I have never tried any but the pork roll and rice roll. Service really sucks but it's an in-and-out place.. read more

Really good bread! I love the butter garlic bread from this place, the bánh mì is Amazing!!!

Thia place was recommended to me after having Itheir mini banh mi for lunch yesterday. I thought it was pretty good - not sure its because I was hungry or the sandwich was that good. Anyhow I thought I would give it another try today since it's close by. As I approach the parking lot, I saw a pretty long line outaide the place. Where there is line, that's a good sign in general. They only allow 2 people in at a time and that could be the reason why the long line outside. Took me about 15 minutes to get inside and there were a lot of empty shelves and it's only 15 minutes pass noon. Anyhow grab a few sandwiches and left since there aren't much left on the shelves. The banh mi was just ok in it opinion I guess you can expect great when it's only $3 with no tax. Would I get it again in the future?! Maybe since I am curious to see what others snacks offered. I guess you will need to go early since most of the stuff were gone by noon. read more

Duc Huong - Vietnamese Near Me - San Jose, California

The food here is affordable. The sandwiches are freshly made and you can't beat the price from anywhere.

Honestly to anyone reading this, walk out the fence and across the plaza to Thanh Huong. Have never had a bad experience there. This place, though, is a joke and a robbery. Ordered one large sandwich at the cashier and the lady tried to be "nice" by saying it would take a long time to make, and suggesting to take two small pre-made ones instead. I agreed since I was in a rush, but now I'm pretty sure it was because they didn't want to make my order and aimed to peddle out their small pre-made ones. The sandwich was absolute garbage. The pork was flakey dry and the bread probably wasn't even made the same day. This could have all been excused had there been any pate or mayo in the sandwich, but nah there wasn't any of either and it was dry af. If I ever crave a Duc Huong sandwich again I'll make the drive to the east side cuz burning gas and time would be much better spent than coming back here. read more
