    Got the Dac Biet, aka special combo sandwich. i'd give it a 5/10, personally their sandwich didnt give me that wow factor for a dac biet. I expected a yummy Pate flavor but mainly got flavors of the veggies and mediocre cold cut meats in the sandwich. I've definitely had better authentic special combos. It just didnt wow me. It was ok. Service was quick and greeted with friendliness. Ambiance of this cafe was Minimalist and clean. Simple décor that keeps the focus on the food. Pretty small.

    Fresh bread, good stuffing ( #1, grilled pork, crispy pork add $3, not chicken), crispy pickled carrot and daikon, slices of jalapeños, mayo, pate, cilantro, soy sauce. Ok service. Ordered at counter, picked up to the side, open kitchen so you can see how they prepare the food. They have other to go snack available right at counter. In and out so not much ambiance. Do have one table in the front if you want to sit down. Also sell fresh pressed sugar cane juice and other drinks. Not over the top but solid bánh mì to go place.

    Probably my favorite banh mi in San Diego. Solid portion size and meat to veggie ratio is fantastic. The bread is perfectly baked and ppoit doesn't tear apart the roof of your mouth but still has that nice crunch to it.

    Paris never disappoints. Sandwiches here are affordable and service is quick. Usual go tos are the special or the pork bbq. The last visit I wanted to try the sardine one but they didn't have it that day. I'll just have to come back and try to order it another day. The coffee here is just right, not too strong- perfect amount of condensed milk and coffee. Spring rolls are always fresh and delicious, shrimp egg rolls are also very good. Place is on the smaller side, some tables outside and they get pretty busy during lunch hours

    Pork Belly Bahn Mi

    After hitting all three spots I finally have a favorite, and honestly it's not this Paris Sandwich location. Not to say it's bad, it just comes in last for me. I've had better service, better vibe, and overall better food at their main location and the newer Point Loma spot. I've been consistent and ordered the pork belly banh mi at all three so I could actually compare, and this one just didn't hit the same. This one is tucked into a quieter part of the plaza away from the main Target area so parking is pretty easy which I appreciated. It was steady when I went, people coming in and out, but nothing too hectic, so it felt like a quick in and out stop. Inside you'll find everything you'd expect, Vietnamese drinks, desserts, grab and go items, plus the same menu across all the Paris Sandwich locations. I ended up getting the spring rolls which come in a pack of three and they look pretty big at first. When I got home and ate them, they were good and satisfied the craving. You get that crunch from the veggies, soft noodles, and that chewy rice paper texture, and the peanut sauce was solid. The only thing is the shrimp and meat were cut super thin, like almost to the point where you barely taste them. From the outside it looks like you're getting good pieces, but they're just really thin. Still enjoyable though, especially because the veggies were fresh and it was a satisfying bite. The pork belly banh mi was just alright. It didn't have that depth I've had at the other locations where the flavors really come through. The pork belly itself was hit or miss. The skin was a little too thick and kind of hard to bite through, and some pieces of the meat were dry and even a little cold, which made it feel off. The veggies were actually good and fresh, but overall the sandwich just didn't come together in a way that stood out. It was fine, just nothing I would go out of my way for. So yeah, definitely not the strongest out of the three for me, but I get why it's still a local go to. It gets the job done if you're nearby and want something quick.

    This place reminds me of OC where all the retired uncles gather outside drinking coffee and eating. It's located opposite of Vinh Hung in the corner. They have a second location in Point Loma. We ordered take out and each banh mi was carefully wrapped and labeled with a sticker. Jambon ($7.45) - lots of meat (basically ham), one type of meat not like the "house special" where it came with variety of meat Crispy pork belly ($10.50) - crispy pork, it had a sweet and sour sauce that was tangy House Special ($7.95) - this was one hefty sandwich. It was heavy! Tons of meat, different variety of meat. A bit bland that we added more soy sauce. Chicken pie/Pate so ($1.40) - tiny square pastry. Flaky exterior and flavorful chicken filling. The bread could be better. It was a bit hard and sharp that it cut into my mouth. They sell desserts (Che) in the fridge. Pre made food on the counter like banh beo, spring roll, etc. 11 drink options on the menu and 16 bánh mì options. Overall, generous meat filling and the bread could be softer. But I'm biased towards French bread not baguette for my bánh mì.

    Today (4/20), the restaurant was closed due to parking construction. Taking a day off is completely understandable , no issue with that at all. However, it would really help customers if this information were updated on Yelp and Google so people know before making the trip. Parking in the area is currently very limited because of construction, and we had to park far away and walk quite a distance, only to arrive and see a closure notice posted on the door. This was our first visit, and unfortunately we didn't get to experience anything yet. Seeing the restaurant listed as "Open" online while it was actually closed felt a bit frustrating. Clear online updates would greatly improve the customer experience and help avoid unnecessary inconvenience for guests.

    Every time my husband and I are at Mira Mesa we always stop here to take some delicious food. Our favorite is their bang mi. We normally order 5 to go. They're great to eat during the week. Service is fast and easy. We normally go in and out.

    My dad had some friends over for lunch and they all wanted a sandwich, so I picked up some banh mi for all of us. I got the đặc biệt (special) for all of us and had some requests, which were all correctly prepared. I didn't want any mayo and one of my dad's friends didn't want the pickled veggies. The banh mi was absolutely delicious and hit the spot. The baguette was crispy on the outside and soft/chewy on the inside, perfectly baked! The sandwich was a good size and was generously packed with meat, pate, and pickled veggies. If you have a big appetite then you could probably finish the sandwich on your own. Otherwise, it's great for sharing! Honestly, half was quite filling! My dad is already asking when can we get this again, so for sure we'll be back for more! The shop was clean and the staff who helped me with my order was friendly and efficient. I didn't have to wait too long for my 5 sandwiches to be made to order. Great value, fresh ingredients, friendly service, very satisfying!

    This is a counter style, Vietnamese sandwich and kind of like a marketplace where you can get your sauces and you can get à la carte eggrolls and Vietnamese buns and what I loved was the banana leaf rice wraps. I did not get any sandwiches, but I will definitely try the braised pork belly sandwich next time or the sausage and egg because they look delicious and pretty good prices at 7 to 8 dollars. I would say they also are selling smoothies that look delicious and worth trying out. I gotta come back here and try this again because they have sugarcane juice which is a really popular staple in Asian countries. There's plenty of parking and I would say that you can grab any thing you see and like pretty easily.

    Sandwich with fresh crusty bread
    Lu L.

    While leaving the Vinh Hung Supermarket I saw Paris Sandwiches nearby & decided to give it a try after reading some good Yelp reviews. This is a small busy Vietnamese sandwich shop. Order at the counter. It seemed like several people were buying a baguette to go with their sandwich order so I grabbed 1 too. Glad I did because the bread gets an A+ Fresh crusty on the outside & soft inside...I ordered my sandwich without mayo. The banh mi sandwich comes with picked veggies, a splash of cilantro & a bit of thin jalapeño. I am not a picked veggie fan but the grilled pork & bread were mighty tasty.

    Smoking next to the "No smoking" sign. I believe he works here.

    Couldn't eat here unfortunately. Too many smokers outside and can't be around smoke. Sister location(City Heights) has amazing bread and sandwiches. Hoped this place would be good. The bread was arriving from city heights, so pretty sure it is. Will try again another day.

    This is more convenient for me to get to than bale French sandwiches. Both are great in their own ways. They increased the prices slightly since I last came. Large selection of grab and go items. There was an issue with my order, they had left out a sandwich, thankfully I noticed and they corrected and made the missing sandwich. I like the location, the sandwiches are delicious, it's tucked away in the back towards the Asian market. It can get cramp inside, there are tables outside on the side.

Better than the restaurants I've been going to. So when another friend was hungry, I said to meet here. This time I had a chicken sandwich. Although it wasn't as good as the pork, the bread was perfectly baked soft, yet crispy, and the veggies were tangy, slightly sweet with a nice crunch. It was a scorching day and we sat next to a cool fan. As we sat there taking advantage of being indoors, I watched the young lady behind the counter. The line was consistent and the service was extremely efficient, what stood out was the exceptional service the young lady gave to all the customers. She knew many by name and they knew her. She was so friendly and helpful to everyone and went above and beyond. I observed her insisting on rewrapping an item for someone to "keep it fresh." She was very kind to us as well and asked how we liked our food as we finally decided to leave. I'm confident I will also know her name because I will definitely return!

The ambiance is the feel of a food truck/ mom & pop local restaurant feels, they usually have a few tables setup outside their truck with foldable chairs, usually the seating is great if your coming in small groups, but with whole family above 6 people it's better to do takeout orders or bring your own foldable chairs to create seating space. Additionally, I'll add the location is very easy to find & right off the freeway 15 right behind the best buy store. I've tried practically 90% of their menu, & the items I personally recommend are the mixed bbq roll, double cheese burger, beef bihari roll, the New Yorker, & the loaded fries literally in this order, top 5 dishes. Highly recommend this place go support this local owned business & treat yourself to this flavorful fusion of a establishment!

As I was scrolling through Google Maps to find a suitable lunch spot, I spotted this Urbane Cafe on the southwest corner of Mira Mesa and Camino Santa Fe. I started going to Urbane Cafe when they opened a location early last year close to where I live, and I've tried making a habit of visiting different cafes to see how they compare to one another, offering my support in good ways and, sadly enough, bad. I had more than enough points on my rewards account largely in part due to a catering order from last year, and after a few more orders, I had enough points for a free sandwich, salad, or bowl. My usual go-to at any Urbane Cafe, especially on my first visit to a new location (to me, at least), is a Salmon Bowl, which happens to be their most expensive entree on their menu. However, they had a special for the Garlic Sesame Steak Bowl for the same price as the Salmon Bowl. Having tried the Salmon Bowl several times this past year, most recently at Long Beach Bixby, I welcomed the change and was intent on ordering the Garlic Sesame Steak Bowl. Well, I tried to do it on the app, but for some reason, it wasn't letting me use my points for the special bowl even though the word "bowl" was present in "free sandwich, salad, or bowl". I then swapped out the special bowl for the Salmon Bowl, but again, the ordering platform run by Thanx wasn't letting me use my points for even my go-to! I almost thought about going somewhere else for lunch, but decided maybe I should try going there to see if the reward could be redeemed in person. As soon as I entered, I was facing the order counter, but nobody was behind it. I did hear Sienna say she'd be right with me as she was handling the orders by the pickup shelves. She came over and asked if I was picking up an order, which I would have been if the app were functioning properly. With the Garlic Sesame Steak Bowl being advertised vividly in front of the register, I asked Sienna if I could redeem my points for that bowl. Sure enough, it did, but why it wouldn't work in the app completely befuddled me as it was the first time I've ever experienced such a discrepancy at ordering the same item online vs in person. I ordered for here, and Sienna gave me a numbered stand. I also got a water cup to supplement my meal. The drink dispenser is located at the rear of the cafe. However, they only had lids, but no cups for the sriracha and cholula sauces! Wait, didn't this happen before? Oh yes, at the Oceanside location when I visited late last year! So it seems a lack of cups for their hot sauces isn't uncommon at Urbane then. As a result, I chose to sit at the community table closest to the rear counter so I wouldn't have to walk far to retrieve a sauce bottle. No joke, my order was ready within 5 minutes as Sienna simply turned around and handed me my Garlic Sesame Steak Bowl alongside a fork and a few napkins. Usually when I get my order this quickly, I get a little skeptical about the flavor in the bowl. Luckily, there was still a good amount of sesame flavor in the bowl, but I still had to go up not once, but twice to retrieve a bottle of sriracha sauce to add to the bowl. And the sauce was pretty liquid-y that I probably should have chosen the cholula instead. I feel I could have enjoyed the bowl more had I waited a minute or two longer, but I was satisfied with the bowl nonetheless as the steak tasted fresh off the grill; the veggies and rice tasted fresh too. They could have added more Japanese chili dressing though. As for the focaccia bread that supplemented my bowl? Well, there's room for improvement. Out of the 6 Urbane Cafes I've now been to so far, I'm sad to say this was the second worst bread I've had. The flavor was at a bare minimum, and I even chomped on something pretty hard in the bread, though since I was scooping up some of the leftover sauce from my bowl, I'm willing to say the culprit came from the Garlic Sesame Steak. Since I ordered for here, I wasn't sure if I was supposed to take the empty bowl to the waste bin, so I asked Precious, and she simply took it for me. Didn't actually answer my question, so next time I dine in, I'll have to ask again lol. Precious did seem precious from my little interaction with her. Service was good overall, but kind of slow since they seemed short on staff. Neither Sienna nor Precious checked up on any other customers who had ordered, but I do know they were handling customers' orders both at the front counter and by the pickup shelves. There were a lot of pickup orders, so it'd be understandable, though there was some down time that they'd just chat with each other as well as another employee on the other side of the counter. Overall, I was satisfied enough with my lunch that I'm willing to give 4 stars, but the little things like the lack of sauce cups and even the app glitching can be bothersome...
