    Menu - sandwiches
    Tiffany H.

    A few people online said this place was better than duc huong - my favorite place for banh mi - so decided to give this a try on a saturday at noon. It's a small storefront with snacks, you can walk up to the counter to place your order. There's more variety on the menu, so that's nice to see. Food came out in 10 minutes, so service was quick. However - For a similar price, the portions were much smaller, and flavors were nowhere as good as duc huong. The bread didn't feel as fresh, and was harder from edge to inside. We ordered the Lynda special, grilled pork, offal (ears), and tomato xiu mai. The Lynda special was pretty dry, the grilled pork had an overwhelming ginger flavor and lacked the chargrilled aroma, the ears were okay, and the tomato xiu mai did not really taste like tomato. Probably will not be back as long as duc huong exists, but can be a quick fix for bang mi if needed.

    I came here because a YouTuber was saying this wins over Duc Huong. I must say that is his opinion and here is mine. Food (3.5 stars) + Bread is excellent here if you're into not so bready baguettes. It's thinner with excellent crust. + Grilled pork has plenty of lemongrass flavors - Egg cost $3 extra - Meat to veggie ratio is not well balanced and I thought the meat can be overpowering but that might be a good thing for some - I couldn't taste the pate in the pork belly sandwich although it's there. Maybe they didn't put enough? Service/Ambiance (3 stars) + Ambiance of an Asian convenience store with lots of snack options - There is not place to sit, and my sandwich took more than 15 minutes to make My 2 sandwiches cost $20 and cash only. It's hard for me to consider returning because I can almost get 3 sandwiches from Huong Lan.

    Cash only market/banh mi shop in the heart of Little Saigon. Sandwiches were very reasonable at about $8 a piece, some were maybe $8.50-$9, but $8 seemed to be the standard. I got the grilled pork banh mi (#8) and thought it was super flavorful! Very different than any other pork banh mi I've had as it kinda had a curry flavor. There's no seating inside or out so you do have to take it to go. I was starving so I ate it in my car before continuing on with my day.

    #8: bánh mì with grilled pork. Cross section after a couple bites to expose the ratio of fillings.

    Convenience store that makes sandwiches, some desserts, and beverages. It's cash only, so be advised. I ordered the #8 (grilled pork). Overall, Solid 3.5/5! Flipped a coin to decide which I'd give them here on Yelp. Good: The grilled pork is exactly what I'm looking for in a bánh mì. Super flavorful sauce that had a sweet and savory flavor with earthy spices. Plenty of veg to add texture and crunch as well as some moisture. Sliced chilis were not spicy at all, but that might've been their judgment call from their impression of me. (No complaints, honestly) It's a pretty hefty sandwich so $8 is pretty worth it! Bad: The bread. I find it a bit too hard as it behaves like day old French bread reheated in the toaster oven, and disintegrates into an explosion of crumbs when you bite into it. If the bread is your favorite part, avoid this place . That being said, it didn't ruin the sandwich for me. Service had no negatives from me. Ladies in the back are friendly and polite!

    A must stop if I'm in the area! The staff is friendly and attentive. There is plenty of parking around. I've tried several drinks here and my go to are the Hazelnut Mocha #18, Mungbean Milk w/ Pandan (must try) #22, and #35. All of them are delicious and they have a unique taste. When I come here, I also make sure to take a #5 sandwich to go. It comes with eggs and sausage. I've tried the other sandwiches but this is my favorite one. The bread is fresh and the food tastes fresh. If you want to make a quick stop and get some delicious Vietnamese items to go, this is the place!

    If you're looking for a Banh Mi Trung...and don't have time to wait in a long queue across the street...come support these ladies. The portion and flavors were just right for my liking. There are also a lot of snacks and drinks to choose from...AND a wide variety of 3-in-1 coffee packs for sale. My first time visiting, and will definitely be back when I'm in the area. Just remember... it's cash only.

    Lynda Sandwich can be easy to miss since they're tucked away in the plaza. They have lots of snacks to purchase on top of banh mi. There's no indoor seating, so all orders are to go. I had purchased 2 grilled pork banh mi ($7.50 each). It was a bit pricey compared to another store I usually purchase mine at. They filled it with a lot of meat, but not so much on the veggies. The cucumbers didn't seem as fresh or crunchy. I heard their chicken one was really good, so I want to come back and try that one. If you're really craving banh mi, they'll satisfy your cravings.

    Just found out about this to go place last year. I have been to their other location in SoCal and their sandwiches here in SJ ARE just a good. The store is very neat and straightforward. They have lots of Asian snacks as well and the workers make it very welcoming. The service is very fast. My family and I placed an order one day and decided to walk and get some boba in the plaza and then come back to pick up our sandwiches. Little did we know, they closed at 4pm and when we came back, their gate was closed. The worker was nice enough to wait for us and handed us our sandwiches. Always recommend this place to anyone who like ban mi

    Came here to pick up dinner before work around 4:45 pm, a little bit before closing! The cashier was friendly and waited patiently while I looked at the menu. I ordered the Lynda Special for $6.25 and took it to-go for work. I didn't end up eating the sandwich until much later, maybe 4 hours after I bought it. To my surprise, it was still really flavorful and the bread wasn't soggy at all. It was still pretty tasty. The sandwich is definitely much better when it's fresh and warm, but the banh mi was still pretty decent hours later! Very satisfying and somewhat impressed. Overall, I want to go back and try more that's on their menu.

    Great spot for a fast sandwich and Vietnamese coffee! There is hardly a line which makes it very easy to get your fix. The #2 is what I get and the bbq pork one as well. The sandwiches are not too full as others, the bread is firm outside and soft inside, but it's good so you can enjoy other sweets and drinks around the area. The service is great and I have no complaints.

    Only thing I disliked was cash only. Long lines. Long wait time during some days. Popular spot for Vietnamese snacks and sandwiches. $7/$7.50 range to $8.25 per regular sandwich. Tasted great. I enjoyed the stop. Excellent customer service. Speaks Vietnamese and some English. You can buy CA lottery tickets from the machine too. I usually order their Lynda Special on top list and a grilled pork banh mi. Delicious. Good portion size. Good price. Packed with generous vegetables, especially my favorite-the carrots. I am totally satisfied. Felt good inside. No tables or chairs for dine-in here. Stand and wait. Grab and go. Originally, I ordered two sandwiches. Cashier thought I only ordered one sandwich. That's why it took a bit long after 10+ other customers got their orders before me. We did come to resolutions and she did apologize and fixed my order. They speak more Vietnamese here. Overall, good convenient location and great sandwich spot. Tastes as good as it looks. Decent banh mi sandwiches. Yummy.

    Tried Moc Delight for many times and really enjoyed it! Their milk tea was fresh, flavorful, and…read morenot overly sweet. We also ordered a few snacks, and everything came out hot, crispy, and delicious. The staff were friendly, and the place had a clean, cozy atmosphere that's perfect for hanging out with friends or grabbing a quick treat. Prices were reasonable, and there were plenty of options to choose from. Definitely a great spot if you're craving milk tea and tasty snacks. I'll be back to try more items on the menu!

    Found my favorite childhood snack, mixed rice paper at Moc Delights--a fancier version of what I…read moreused to have in Vietnam. I love that the rice paper itself was flavorful, savory, spicy, shrimpy and garlicky. The tamarind sauce on the side was sweet and tangy. I like to pour it over the rice paper so it softened up. I also like the toppings they added for the mixed combo rice paper, nice blend of texture and flavors from jerky, pork rinds, mango, and egg. My personal favorite topping was the Vietnamese coriander, perfect to pair with the rice paper. I highly recommend the combo mixed rice paper. I also got their milk tea & coconut kumquat to try & tbh they were super disappointing. The milk tea & coconut kumquat were unbearably sweet, I couldn't even get to half of the cups. For the milk tea, the tea scent didn't pulled through at all. I was basically sipping on burnt sugary milk. Overall, giving this place 3/5 star because they need to improve their drinks.

    Omg!!! I this this place outdid some of my favorite matcha places. I went in not expecting too much…read morebut was SO SO satisfied. My friend and I ordered the guava matcha (with cream) and strawberry matcha and both the drinks were delicious. Most places I do to I usually like only 1 drinks and not both that I get but both of them were extremely delicious. For the guava matcha, I was slightly disappointed and taken aback that they charge more for the guava cream but usually most places include it in the drink already but I def recommend getting it. It is definitely on the pricier side with my drink being close to $10 but it's sooo worth the try. The cream was so thick and creamy and their matcha is incredibly smooth. My friend got the strawberry matcha and that was so flavorful as well. Most times when I order starberry matcha the flavor is bland but hers was reallly good. It was a little hard to sip it through the straw though because of the syrup. The server there was extremely sweet as well. I didn't catch her name but I think she had an eyebrow piercing (?? Maybe??) but she was extremely helpful and made conversation. Loved the customer service. I also saw the workers who were making my drink take their time and care with it and measure everything properly with scales and everything which was great to see. And it's a cute small spot there which was so pretty. I RECOMMEND I need to go again once I get my money up tho
