This place is a GEM!!! I love all the authentic Vietnamese foods they have. One of the best banh mi I have had in SoCal! We tried their spring rolls. The one ready to purchase has a peanut sauce, but due to food allergies, they made us a fresh one with a side of fish dipping sauce (nuoc mam) instead. The pate chaud (puff pastry with chicken) is also a favorite of ours. The staff are all very nice as well. I wished we lived closer to one because I would come here weekly to eat! Sooo good! Note: there is not a lot of seating, but it seems like most of their orders were to go, so we were able to get a table outside. read more

Sugarcane drink is so yummy! You can see them pressing fresh jerking through the machine. Glad my friend turned me to that. We were eating next door and they didn't have a dessert menu, so after we hopped over here. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert... they got you covered! Vietnamese iced coffee was also delicious! Cramped area to order on busy days, but lots of impulse buying available while you are standing waiting to order or pick up your order. There's counter seating along the window edge if you needed to quickly eat, but I don't recommend four big groups. Bakery items...so many to select from I just say pick a different one every day! Thanks...see you tomorrow! read more

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. read more

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 read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

I love their baguettes It is crusty on the outside and very moist on the inside. They cut the ends off when they make their sandwiches and bagged the ends and sell them. All at an affordable price. It's freshly baked but it will stay soft for the next couple of days and you just need to air fry or heat them over the skillet. I like to rub a couple of drops of water when reheating to crisp up. The ends of the bread are great for dipping in olive oil and balsamic vinegar and there is enough bread to slice for a charcuterie board. Also good for croutons and stuffing read more

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! read more

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. read more

Hands down one of my favorite spots right now for Vietnamese bánh mì. Paris Sandwiches offers a great variety of sandwiches, and the portions of meat are very generous, which I absolutely love because not all Vietnamese sandwich shops stuff their sandwiches like this let's be real. The bánh mì here are filling and satisfying every time. They also have a nice selection of other hot and cold foods you can pick up. From Vietnamese desserts to egg rolls, spring rolls, and more, it's easy to grab extra items while you're there. One of my favorite parts about this place is the little community vibe outside the shop. You'll often see Vietnamese uncles enjoying their morning bánh mì and Vietnamese coffee, which makes the spot feel warm, local, and authentic. Customer service is amazing. Everyone is very sweet, hardworking, and welcoming. Service is fast and efficient, even when it's busy. The inside is tight and small, but you can clearly see how hard everyone is working behind the counter. Overall, an excellent go to spot in Mira Mesa for bánh mì with generous portions, great food, friendly service, and a strong community feel. read more

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. read more

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. read more

I came here around 4pm on a Friday and they still had a ton of stuff to pick from. My cousin recommended this place as his favorite banh mi spot. I ordered his go to, the #15, crispy pork belly banh mi. Bomb.com. The bread was crispy but perfectly soft, and the pork meat moist w/ crispy skin. The whole sandwich was so flavorful. The mayo & pate was yummy! Probably one of the best banh mi I've had since I moved back to Cali. Yea I said it. lol. I did get some of the banana leaf wrapped savory items, & some frozen banh bot loc (clear rice shrimp dumplings.) Hoping they're all as good as their banh mi! Great service, clean restaurant, & easy parking. This will be my go to for banh mi from now on. Can't wait to get more of the pork belly banh mi. It was so good I almost went back for a second one before headed back home. read more

Shout out to Adonis Eats (@imadoniseats), who is a Bay Area foodie, for doing a San Diego tour of eateries and featuring Paris Sandwiches on his tour. Check him out on Instagram for foodie related vignettes, but the clips I watched of him were at my fave Filipino restaurant R&B Filipino Cuisine and Paris Sandwiches, which specializes in Vietnamese Bahn Mi sandwiches. This was me and my wife's first time grubbing here and after mimicking Adonis' choices of the #1 House Special and the #15 Crispy Pork Belly, I can definitively say that we'll be visiting this sandwich shop many times. Paris Sandwiches is located in Mira Mesa specifically within the Target shopping center on Mira Mesa Blvd. This shopping center is one of the bigger centers in the area, so there is plenty of parking. The shop is located on the east end of the shopping center across from the Vinh Hung Vietnamese supermarket and is one of the tenants in this strip of businesses. It's a short jog away from Golden Island Dim Sum restaurant and O'Reilly Auto Parts; a few doors away from Domino's Pizza; Trining's Bakery is in the same spot; and it's next door to LHK Noodle Bar. The only negative about Paris is the lack of seating to enjoy their incredible sandwiches. There is a plank of wood facing out the windows where people can dine in and there are five stools for customers. There is one outdoor table with three chairs, so take out will be the preferred method to enjoy their sandwiches. The decor is minimal with one television showing an Asian show, a plant on top of their cold box that holds cold drinks and cold food, and a ceramic Virgin Mary and smiling cat. I've indulged in Bahn Mi sandwiches from Vietnamese Pho restaurants here in San Diego, but after watching Adonis' snippet on Paris Sandwiches, I made sure to include this sandwich place on my Yelp's Want To Go list. I imitated Adonis' order of the #1 House Special and the #15 Crispy Pork Belly. When you order the #1, make sure to ask for extra pâté, which is a spread of finely chopped or pureed seasoned meat. What will capture your attention from first bite to your last will be their fresh baguette. The vessel alone that holds everything is a standout by itself and I'm sure would be tasty with melted butter. Combine the bread with each of the different components and I can unequivocally say that the #1 and #15 were two of THE BEST Bahn Mi sandwiches I've ever eaten. The #1 House Special comes with a combination of cold cut ham, pork roll, pork belly, and with the pâté, it was tasty, fresh, and a satisfying sandwich. The #15 Crispy Pork Belly comes with roasted crispy pork belly and sweet and sour sauces. What I enjoyed about the #15 was the little kick it had with fresh jalapeños, the crunchiness of the pork belly, and once again, the freshness. My wife and I had the day off to chomp on these sandwiches and we seriously had difficulty deciding which of the two sandwiches were our favorite. For me, I loved both and would order both in a heartbeat. Paris Sandwiches will be our go to Bahn Mi sandwich joint and we can't wait to introduce our kids to these two delicious sandwiches. My wife and I decided to order the #1 and #15 and split the sandwiches, so that we can taste each sandwich. Next time, I'm going to order one of each just for myself. Seriously, they're that yummy!!! read more

Paris Sandwiches is a humble takeout eatery in Mira Mesa. This local gem specializes in banh mi, and it is one of my favorite places to grab a Grilled Chicken Banh Mi!

The moist grilled chicken is complemented by sweet/sour pickled vegetables, a kick of heat from sliced jalapeños, and creamy mayo. At $7.05, the value is high. SERVICE The service is pleasant and no-nonsense. The order taker demonstrated excellent throughput efficiency, managing the queue and getting customers processed and fed rapidly.

I freaking love this place! I'm very loyal and this is the only place I will go eat Banh Mi me sandwiches in San Diego. I've been here plenty of times but today I was a bit sad because I didn't know that they would close early on MLK day. I got here right at 5 PM which is when they closed. It didn't say anything on their Google page. Oh well. Nevertheless... I highly recommend this place. They open really early and have a good timeframe for store hours. I live about 13 to 15 minutes away... I wish I lived closer lol. They have a great variety of sandwiches and it's always so fresh and flavorful. They even have sugarcane juice! So fresh. Next time I come here, I'll be sure to take photos of my food and post them every time I eat here. I can't wait and I'll eat it within like 5 to 10 minutes of ordering lol. The ambience in here is pretty chill... Nothing too fancy but that's OK. It doesn't need to be! They do keep it super clean from what I have seen so I'm happy about that. I'm unsure if they have public restrooms, but I hope they do! Parking here is always so easy to find and I love it! read more

This is the newest Vietnamese sandwich shop in Mira Mar. Overall, the counter service is very good, and our banh mi has been prepared quickly. Banh mi are good, but the rolls are toasted too much. Prices are slightly lower than other shops, but the banh mi selection is more limited, as is other items such as spring rolls. This is a single store front with some counter-height seating inside and 6 or so tables outside, which need to be cleaned between customers using them. The shop is conveniently located to the east of Target, and parking is good. read more

The sesame balls are a must try! They are a childhood favorite of mine and instantly brings nostalgia feels and makes me miss my mama. It has yellow mung bean inside instead of red mung bean like most dim sum restaurants serve. I quit pork recently so I love that they have chicken egg rolls instead of pork and Their steamed buns/Banh baos are also chicken instead of pork! My husband loves their thit nuong pork sandwiches. Packed with meat, veggies and spread. Their bread is always so fresh and not toasted twice like most other Banh mi places. And HALF the cost compared to others in the same area. That way I can get a few extra wrapped fried shrimps! I eat them all on the drive before I even get home lol. Small family owned, always packed and busy but super fast service. all the Chu's be outside playing card games or Chinese checkers giving all the childhood feels like when the OGs be nhau'ing at the pho shops lol.

I love the banh mi here. I always get the combo #1. I haven't figured out their bread schedule yet - sometimes it's so fresh you feel that crunch, other times it's not so fresh. They really smear that pate on, although it is a bit lacking in the butter department. Nonetheless I love their pate and I honestly could eat it by itself I'm not even gonna lie The coffee super good, you can taste the underlying flavor of the coffee beans. The coffee was so strong I felt my brain pulsating - that's when you know it's legit The egg rolls are mid I have to admit, it's super dry and idk it's just not crunchy at all when I get them - the skin is a bit hard to chew off. Although they're huge and definitely would satisfy that craving. I think they're around $1.50 each? Not sure but it can add up pretty quickly I wish they had more offerings to-go. If they had more ready made food options I def would become more of a regular here! Overall recommend coming, service is super quick - I'm talking the longest time I've waited for a banh mi was like 5 minutes - to me that's pretty rare I'm going to be honest. People are super nice and there's limited seating outside with plenty of parking available! Ambiance is cozy af, and you know it's for the locals when you got the elderly neighbors chilling at the storefront read more

Paris Sandwiches never disappoints! Their sandwiches are large, filling, and made with fresh ingredients -- you can tell everything is prepared right because they always have more ready in the back. My go-to is the #1 Dác Biệt sandwich and the bánh bao; both always hit the spot and leave me satisfied. On top of that, their pastries are fantastic. The chocolate croissant is flaky and rich, and the flan is smooth and delicious. Whether you're craving a hearty sandwich or a sweet treat, Paris Sandwiches is the place to go! read more

One of the best banh mi places in San Diego. They are fast and consistent. The sandwiches are made to order (quickly). Never got a soggy sandwich here and the meat ratio is pretty decent. The prices are what you would expect. I always ask for the veggies on the side so that I can put in the ratio that I want. They also sell an assortment of snacks, desserts, and drinks. There isn't much seating inside, but there are tables on the outside. read more

Banh mi is one of my favorite foods, and my favorite sandwich by far. There is no better feeling than the high of demolishing the first half of your sandwich knowing that there is a second half to go. Conversely, there is no worse feeling than finishing the second half of your sandwich knowing that there is no more. This feeling only narrowly beats out the raw, flayed open feeling on the roof of your mouth after finishing said sandwich as the worst feeling. All that to say, I will NEVER turn down a banh mi whenever I am in the vicinity of Paris Sandwiches. I've been to and loved their El Cajon location, but I am thrilled to see that this Mira Mesa location has way better parking and more spacious roads. This Paris Sandwiches is located in a small strip mall that branches off of the larger Target/Vinh Hung shopping mall area, so there is truly plenty of parking as well as convenient grocery stores nearby, a real one-stop shop! The shop is small with limited indoor seating and one table outside. There was a steady stream of customers and online orders the whole time I was there, and I could tell that there were several regulars who not only knew the workers but also each other. Truly a spot for locals! I ordered an egg roll as well as a dac biet banh mi. I think there are small and large size options for the banh mi and I got the small. The egg roll was DELICIOUS. The exterior was perfectly fried and not greasy, and the filling was perfectly seasoned and not too sweet, with plenty of meat and crunchy wood ear mushroom for the texture. I demolished that thing before my sandwich was ready, which was saying something since, thanks to the three-woman super team churning out drinks and sandwiches with well-practiced speed, my sandwich came out QUICK. Their sandwiches are on the longer and thinner side, which I prefer since I dislike too much bread in each mouthful. They are packed with garlicky pate, sweet, eggy mayo, layers of cold cuts, and both fresh and pickled veggies. I love that jalapeno is included by default, rather than being something you have to request. Special shout out to the pate, as Paris Sandwiches is one of the few places that spreads enough so that you not only taste it, but it is dripping out the back end of your sandwich with each bite. The exterior is perfectly toasted with a thin, crackly layer on top. Pro tip is to eat it upside-down to avoid the worst of the mouth shrapnel pain, though the suffering is absolutely worth it to eat a sandwich like this. My total for banh mi + egg roll was around $9-10, which is pretty good given the cost of food these days. As an obligate snacker and enjoyer of small bites, there are few foods I enjoy in their entirety from first to final bite, but I can confidently say that banh mi is one of them, especially the one I had here at Paris Sandwiches. The price, flavors, and speed cannot be beat, this is an INCREDIBLE sandwich. read more

The restaurant was much smaller and cramped than was expected. The staff slightly rushed me as they claimed they were closing soon but yet it was still 45 minutes until the post led time. I ordered the grilled chicken with extra pickles no jalapeño and for me it had a strange taste and made it in edible let alone the fact that I had to pick off the jalapeños. I've never had a chicken bahn mi that tasted like this, and I don't have to worry about ever having it again as I will not be returning. I didn't have the opportunity to even point out the jalapeños or strange flavor as as soon as they handed me my bag, they rushed me out the side door read more
