We were promptly greeted when we walked in the door. Our food came out really fast and it was soooo good! The prices were very reasonable as well. Next time you're in the mood for a sandwich or need a quick bite to eat, I highly recommend checking this place out! It's a very casual atmosphere but there are plenty of tables to sit at if you want to eat there instead of taking it to go. They also have tons of different flavors of tea and some drinks premade in a fridge that you can grab and go. read more

Mekong Sandwiches - #2 - Grilled Pork (Heo Nuong) - Vietnamese Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Probably one of my many stops when I go to the Mekong market for groceries. The suite is located on the north end of the strip. The interior of the establishment is a little outdated and could use a facelift. This time, I got 2 banh mis; sardine, combination banh mi and 3 pate sho. The pate sho were 3 for 7$. Banh mis were well balanced and very enjoyable. The service here is always great no matter who is taken your order! My overall experience is always good here and for sure will continue to swing by when in the area! KCYE Don read more

Mekong Sandwiches - Grilled beef sandwich - Vietnamese Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

I love me a good bahn mi and on my last day in AZ for work I was determined to find one. Thankfully Yelp (and the very solid reviews) led me here! It's a very nice, unassuming establishment in Mekong Plaza, blink and you may miss it. I opted for the grilled chicken bahn mi and it was out to me in less than 5 minutes. It's well sized on fluffy soft bread that was soooo good. As was the entirety of the sandwich itself - all the flavors worked super well together. Highly recommend and will be back next time I'm in the area! read more

I was in the mood for a tasty sandwich and after checking out the Yelp app Mekong Sandwiches looked like it was the place that had what I was craving so off I went. After checking out the menu I went with the grilled chicken. It was marinated chicken breast with lemongrass on a fresh roll topped with pickled carrots, daikon, cucumbers, cilantro, jalapenos, red onion, soy sauce, salt & pepper, mayo and pate. This sandwich was just what I was craving! From the 1st bite to the last bite, it was perfection, so dang good! If looking for a great tasting sandwich go give Mekong Sandwiches a try! read more

Located on the north end of the plaza. Enter from outside only. Very reasonably priced lunch. I had the lamb meatball with a Thai tea. So good I forgot the pictures. My lunch companion had the chicken and raved about it. Counter service efficient and friendly. read more

I was surprised the sandwich was very tasty and bread was toasted to perfection! I wish they had the #2 bbq pork that day but they were sold out so I tried #1. I will come back and try #2. Their dessert drink was good too! read more

Bahn mi's have great flavor! I ordered the vegetarian and I highly recommend it. Service was fast and sweet with great recommendations. They have a lot of options and some interesting desserts I will have to come back to try. My only complaint: I wish they had more options without pork. I wanted to try more but everything has pork in it. read more

Mekong Sandwiches - Vegetarian bahn mi delicious! - Vietnamese Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Mekong sandwiches is delicious. Sometimes I'll pick up my wife from ARTISTRY BEAUTY CO in Gilbert n then have lunch here. My favorite bahn mi read more

Absolutely delicious, stopped here on a whim a few years ago and has been a favorite ever since. Their bread is baked in house and is delicious even eaten plain. Perfectly crispy outside with light and fluffy inside. Highlights are the Mekong Special sandwich and the beef stew (dunk the bread and experience true bliss). Employees are friendly and while it's not fast food, service is relatively quick. Convenient location for some shopping at the Mekong mall after your meal. read more

10/10 food, service, and atmosphere. A small business at the corner of Mekong Plaza but worth walking to after I finish shopping at Mekong Supermarket. Parking lot is usually busy packon weekends and fair on weekdays. I ALWAYS order some Bánh Mi Đặc Biệt to go to have at home. My grandma is vegetarian and LOVES the Banh Mi Bi Chạy. They also have xoi, bánh cam and other baked goodies as well as good viet coffee. You can sit in their eating area or take your food to go :D read more

WOW FLAVORFUL! I was thoroughly impressed with my meal here. The combo with a drink (plus 50¢ for boba) comes to $10 and change. The Thai Tea Boba was your typical kind, nothing too crazy. The sandwich was soooo flavorful! They gave me a package of sriracha chili sauce, and I added that all over my sandwich. The veggies were fresh and crisp. The meat (grilled beef #3) was tender and juicy. The bread was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I'll definitely come by again for a quick lunch/dinner after work! Come try this out if you're in the area or shopping at Mekong. Update: sandwich #2 (grilled pork) and the Vietnamese iced coffee were both AWESOME! I came twice in one week, that's how good it is! read more

Hands down the best Vietnamese sandwiches I've had in the area. I come here almost every week. Originally from CA, I can say that these are on par with some sandwiches I've had over there! My favorite thing to order is the #2 combo grilled pork banh mi with a Thai tea drink. The baguette here is perfect because it is crunch on the outside and soft in the inside. It doesn't cut up the roof of your mouth! I've ordered some bags of their baguettes to dip in my soups at home and they are perfect after a quick toast in the air fryer. The meat is well seasoned and the pate with pickled veggies just makes the most perfect combo. Even their Thai tea is delicious and I can tell that it's made from real tea and not the powder. The service here is always top notch as well! The workers are all super nice and there is usually not a long wait. They get the food out to you quickly. It's a great place to grab some lunch or a snack after you're done grocery shopping. Check this place out if you are in the area! read more

I have had Mekong Sandwiches bookmarked for a few years and finally got one of their sandwiches a few weeks ago. We usually go to the Mekong Marketplace for a different restaurant, but on that day, the wait was a bit long, and I needed a quick bite to hold me over till our table was ready. It did not disappoint. Mekong Sandwiches is the most suggested spot for a bahn mi whenever someone asks for recommendations in a Facebook group. For good reason. It's quick and tasty. I'm sure many would agree that bread is a significant factor when getting a bahn mi, and their bread is light and crispy. I ordered the grilled beef and thoroughly enjoyed each bite. One of my favorite aspects of a bahn mi is when the veggies and condiments mix into a tasty bite, and this sandwich certainly had that aspect. I recommend this spot if you're craving a bahn mi in the East Valley! read more

Food 5/5 Service 5/5 You're in and you're out! The sandwiches are delicious. If you want to try their hot foods, I suggest you go in early. They usually run out quickly. Other than that, they're s on my top to go to banh mi spot! read more

I normally come in and order the Bo Kho because they have the best one around!!! I hope you guys never stop selling that delicious dish!!! Everyone there is so sweet and welcoming not to mention their desserts!!!! I love everything on their menu so far. The Bahn Gio is soooo good I didn't know Vietnam had their own version of tamales comes with a quail egg inside as well soooooooo good!!!!!! read more

Still my favorite bánh mì place in Tempe Mesa area! Like I said before, that bread CRONCH and I will always be loyal to a good French bread. I got a chance to visit again during a trip to Arizona and I think the same lady was still working behind the counter. It was good nostalgia! I forgot to Mention last time, you can also order a bunch of Vietnamese bakery items like pate so/pate chaud, com cháy My order: #2 lemon grass pork, no pate, add fried egg Parking: yes but ROUGH during the day Seating: indoor tables Dine in: yes Takeout: yes Wifi: no Payment: cash and card (accepts AMEX, Discover, Apple Pay) Vibe: to-go bakery and sandwich shop Dress code: casual read more

This is a really great little Vietnamese sandwich shop. Service behind the counter is very friendly. The cost is completely reasonable for every budget. I ordered 2 bánh mì sandwiches a BBQ pork bánh mì and a grilled beef bánh mì. Both where excellent. The French bread is so crispy and crunchy and soft on the inside. The wonderful interplay of sweet and heat, fresh herds and vegetables. Vietnamese food is one of the main reasons I fell in love Asian cuisine. The fusion of French and Vietnamese influences are apparent in the bánh mì. This is a awesome place. I'll be back again to try all of their bánh mì and other food they have on their menu. read more

I ordered two grilled pork sandwiches and a Thai tea. I thought the sandwich tasted great with all the condiments and the Thai tea was also tasty. Service was good and the restaurant is spacious. read more

I ordered the #3 with lemongrass beef no pate, it was definitely fresh and I love that. The beef portion could be a little better and mine was missing the jalapeños or they put a very small amount so that was disappointing. I also ordered the iced Thai tea with boba, it was decent - I wish I was a little stronger but again - very fresh and the boba tasted good. I loved their service, the young man at the counter was very kind and smiled a lot which I like! If you're in the area, I would recommend Mekong. read more

These bad boys consistently blow any others out of the water- the bread is soooo good and the pickled veggies! The pate that comes on all of them just adds another level, and for like $7 a sandwhich! Can't beat it. read more

My favorite sandwich store in the valley, pretty authentic. Located next to Mekong plaza (not inside).

My favorite item from this deli is the pork eggrolls. I sometimes have a craving for them and will drive 20 miles to pick up the eggrolls. Today by the time I got there, they only had three left which was not enough for our family so I opted to wait 15 minutes for a fresh batch. While waiting, I decided to venture out and try something waaaaay off the grid for my palate. I got the #1/Mekong sandwich (Steamed pork, ham, pork belly and pate). Textures and flavors that were super different from what I am used to. I can say hi finished at all. But I will be sticking to the eggrolls. read more

When it comes to Banh Mi, I'm kinda spoiled coming from Boston, where there was a famous lady with a small operation in a supermarket in Chinatown who made what it still the best Banh Mi I ever ate. No place has come close, not in CA, Montreal, PHX. But this convenient place in Mesa, is quite satisfactory in quenching the cravings for a good one. Prices are reasonable too and the sandwiches are a good size. Recommended. read more

I LOVE banh mi and this is one of my favorite places to go. I get the #2 grilled pork ($6) without salt and pepper, mayo, pate, and soy sauce. The bread is perfect - slightly crunchy on the outside while soft and chewy on the inside. The vegetables are crisp and fresh. The pork are smaller chopped pieces, but I prefer bigger chewy pieces. The service is good, and I appreciate how they're willing to accommodate customizations to orders. Their spring rolls and peanut sauce are good too. Be sure to ask for your sandwich cut in half if you prefer because the sandwich comes whole. read more

I can't help but be a little more critical coming from San Jose, CA...the sandwiches aren't bad by any means but just underwhelming after the rave reviews! For the same price you can get a sandwich double the size in CA. The crunchy picked carrots and daikon were fresh, grilled pork decent but dry, not enough pate, minimal mayo...the sandwich seemed half filled! I mostly tasted bread. read more

Mekong Sandwiches - #1 and #9 bomb - Vietnamese Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Tasty but not filling Got the grilled chicken banh mi- tasty flavors of the grilled chicken and it was juicy. You get it in an in-house baked roll that's soft inside and crispy outside. Classic "tear apart the inside of your mouth" crispiness (kinda joking). Classic ingredients inside including cilantro, jalapeño. Pate (ground pork) was a new addition for me. Total $7 with tax. It was about 50% filling for me. They have other hot options like 2 egg rolls for $2.50, but I didn't get this yet. read more

A friend introduced me to this place, and let's be real: word-of-mouth recommendations are always the best. Mekong Sandwiches is no exception. The grilled chicken banh mi that I ordered was delectable, featuring perfectly toasted bread that was lightly toasted on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside, and packed full of fresh and flavorful ingredients. Price really can't be beaten. I'm making it my mission to come back as many times as I can while I'm still in the area. read more

The sandwiches at Mekong Sandwiches is definitely a winner! The portion of their bánh mì is a nice fit- not too small and weak yet not too bulky and hard to eat. We loved the bánh mì here and would definitely come back often when craving bánh mì or even their pate chaud! They have a wide variety of Vietnamese snacks and desserts made in-house compared to back home in NY. You can't just get these goodies at any Viet eatery over there which is why I'm "Wow-ed" by coming here in Arizona! They accept cash and card. No bathroom available. (Go inside Mekong Plaza.) Bon appetit! read more

Love that the best is made fresh. Love that the service is fast. Workers are Asian. Menu is simple. Combination of meat is not my favorite by I think that is the norm outside of nyc. I ordered the Mekong special and was satisfied. Bread to filling ratio was adequate. Currently my go to in town. read more

Decided to give this sandwich shop a try since I'm in the East valley and heard so much about it from an Asian Facebook group. Store was clean, has variety of snacks, drinks and desserts. We got the #3 and #6, beef and bbq pork. Price and decent. Overall the sandwich was just ok. Decent. Not as good as Lee's Sandwich IMO. The bread was ok, doesn't have the texture as Lee's. The pork lacked flavor. Hubby thought his beef was ok. Anyway try it if you're nearby but wouldn't make the drive just for this. read more

I've been coming here ever since I moved here almost 4 years ago, I just never thought to write a review. I always get the thit heo nuong (grilled pork) sandwiches. I don't really order anything else besides the cha ca (fried fish roll and the cha chien (fried pork roll) to eat with my rice later, when it's available. Oh and the Chinese sausages are good too. The thit heo nuong banh mi has always been consistent and tasty. The other places I've tried tend to be extra fatty or have gristle, or never enough meat. I've had a lot of friends try this place and it's become their fave for banh mi. The only thing I would love for them to have are the banh tieu and I wouldn't have to go anywhere else. read more
