    Chè Đậu Trắng - vietnamese sweet soup make with coconut milk, rice & black-eyed peas,
    Tiffany S.

    Fantastic sandwiches and desserts. I always get the Chè Đậu Trắng with the black eyed peas in it. The stories in a great location with parking. Quick service!

    Great spot! Been there twice now. Love their set up. Bahn mi for under $7?! I absolutely love the spring rolls and the peanut sauce. The fact they came with a little bit of the spicy daikon in a little baggie was nice. Lovely ladies help you after you decide. Great variety. Come early kimbap sell out quick. Lunch dishes all day! I love to come here and stock up on some food for a couple days. So healthy.

    Pork bahn mi

    Not sure how I've never reviewed Saigon Deli before! They have the best bahn mi you'll ever have. Their other items are also delicious, but the bahn mi is the real star.

    We came here for bahn mi and display package food. This deli store has most of the Vietnamese street food. You can order different bahn mi. We got the grilled pork, 3 kind of ham and bbq ham, meat ball sandwiches. I like the most is three kind of ham. The grilled pork needs a bit sweeter. We also got some packages food. The range in different price. We got some fresh roll, rice paste roll, sweet desert. We also got some lunch special with two items protein. All food is tasty.

    I been getting banh mi here for years now and it always hits. It's a cute little deli in the little Saigon area and they sell a lot of traditional Vietnamese food and snacks. My family has always loved their pork sausage banh mi and I love their cold cuts as that's my go to type. I also got a new item for me (don't know the name) and it was also really good and I recommend

    Came back to pick up sandwiches again for my trip to BOS. I ordered 3 sandwiches, 2 without cilantro... got 1 made correctly. Ordered a mixed plate with beef stew and curry, received a plate with curry and sweet sour chicken. On the plus side, their spring rolls are delicious, the curry was decent, and sweet sour chicken was good... for something I never wanted. The workers aren't very friendly and the language barrier makes for incorrect orders, or they just don't care. I would suggest checking your order before you leave, this is the second out of two times my order was wrong, or made incorrectly.

    This has been my go-to banh mi spot in Seattle, and I consider it one of the best in the city. There's a decent-sized parking area next to the deli, which is rare to find for CID/Little Saigon. The mornings are supposedly busy, but I usually end up coming during slower hours. Staff tend to be quite friendly with me, and orders come out quick. I always get the banh mi special here, but most of the banh mi's I have tried at Saigon Deli has always been perfect for when I need a quick and affordable lunch. A few days ago I got a sandwich to-go and ate it at Hing hay park, definitely recommend doing that if you're trying to adsorb the environment and culture around you. They also have other packed deli items which I've liked. Valid Vietnamese deli in my books.

    Three Kind of Ham
    Frank L.

    A Little Saigon staple, OG to the max. The traffic that has come through here through the decades has been constant and still is. Place is a tad worn down from all the traffic but still solid. Based on most recent quick bite, the #3 BBQ 3 kinds Ham for $7 is easy 4 Star. Filling, crunchy, tasty, very hard to beat for $7. Not only a survivor, but still a lead runner for value that packs a punch with flavor.

    Pork banh mi
    Louise F.

    This banh mi makes me so happy. Buying it feels so vindicating to me, like something in me just relaxes paying this amount for a very very generously sized sandwich. Very nice classic banh mi, good pork, bread was soft but flaky. Brings me back to like 10 years and makes me feel like things are right in the world. I mean it's like $6 what's not to like. And they have so many other prepared foods too.

    Im from NY and the prices here are amazing for the quality of the food. I had 2 bahn mi and both were delicious. Everytime im I Seattle I will make it a point to come here.

I received a promo for $5 off so I tried to use it the previous time, but she didn't know how to apply it. Then another time when I order The Caribbean Plato with pulled roasted pork, when I got home, I discovered the wrong type of meat (grilled pork instead of pulled pork). For these reasons, I didn't go back for a long time. Today, I went again to get take out for my visitors. I called in the order so I didn't have to wait, but Gisela didn't understand my order and kept getting it wrong. I ordered 3 Caribbean Plato with pulled pork, and 1 Caribbean Plato with chicken thigh, but she kept repeating the wrong order back to me (2 pork, instead of 3, wrong type of meat, etc), so I tried it again and again, still no comprendo. I got frustrated and told her that I would just come in person to order. I was in a hurry, but I had no choice. When I got there, I ordered the same thing, but this time, I gestured the type of pork I wanted, using my hands to show pulled and tried to explain that I wanted the shredded kind, not the solid kind). Someone was with me so he heard my order in plain English. As I was waiting for my order, I decided to ask her once more just to be sure that it wasn't the grilled pork bc she made that mistake last time. Then she said my meat was grilling now. I was alarmed since they don't get the pulled pork from the grill. I told her that I wanted PULLED ROASTED PORK, not the solid grilled patty kind. She said something in Spanish to the guy who was putting my order together and he showed me a sample of the pulled pork so I said "YES" that's the one I want. She said they were already cooking the grilled pork. When I told her that she was giving me the wrong order, she said "it's too late". I was so upset so I said, "why is it so hard to understand my order?" Pulled pork is pulled pork, not grilled pork. I never even mentioned the word "grilled". A guy came out from the kitchen so I explained myself and he said what I want is the pulled roasted pork and I said, "that's what I ordered". She tried to explain something to him in Spanish, but he told her to just give me the pulled pork and I was on my way. She just ruined my day, and I could feel my blood pressure rising. I don't think I will ever return again. It's too hard to explain the right kind of meat to Gisela. Dining out and getting take out should be a pleasant experience, not a stressful one.

    Really good sandwiches!…read more I was visiting Seattle for work and during my break, I decided to go to the Armory for lunch. This was certainly a great choice, the food is excellent! I had their Philly Cheesesteak, which was awesome. Everything is cooked to order, so there is a slight wait after ordering, but it is certainly worth it. There are also seats and tables outside of the spot for you to eat at, it's shared with a few other restaurants. If you really want an exciting time, eat there while a Zumba is going on! Then you can people watch while enjoying your food.

We were able to get food on a Saturday around 4PM, and fortunately Big Mike's was one of the few places still open at the time. The armory is pretty accessible via the monorail, if you decide to drive, you will have to consider nearby streetside or venue/science center parking. Service is efficient - you place your order at the counter and they will call your name when your sandwich is ready. It took them about 10 minutes to get our sandwich out. There are plenty of tables just outside of the restaurant where you can dine. We got the ribeye cheesesteak for $23, which also came with a bed of fries just underneath the sandwich. The sandwich itself was piping hot, but just hot enough to enjoy without burning yourself. The steak was tender and had decent chew, sliced to a nice thinness. Personal preference, I would like the steak seasoned a bit more strongly as flavor-wise it does get a little one dimensional. This is definitely a touristy area part of town, and I would say that prices are pretty standard. For one person, you should be able to get a nice and filling portion for $18 - $23. I wouldn't consider this place a must visit if you are in Seattle - The flavors are decent and definitely will get you full in a pinch if you are really hungry and in the area.

Happily, it delivered! We split the porchetta sandwich, which was quite tasty. Now, I will say it is not quite at the gold-standard level of the porchetta sandwich from the Roli Roti truck in San Francisco, but that is an extremely high bar. The bread here was fantastic, and the sandwich itself was full of flavor. The inside is cute, and watching two guys dedicate their lives to making sandwiches in the open kitchen is part of the fun... I also spotted a tray coming out of the oven that looked like thick, PERFECTLY crispy bacon, - so whatever sandwich that was going into is definitely what I'm ordering if I ever get here again. One warning, though: I hate the chairs. I am not a skinny person, and these chairs are just uncomfortable. There, I said it. Great sandwiches, fun little spot, and I would absolutely come back. Just please, someone, rethink those chairs!

The interior is cozy and old world city vibes. Not a ton of seating and it can take a bit for getting your sandwich. It took 30-40 minutes to get our sandwiches at lunch time. After we already had waited in line. There was a line out the door when we got there. You order on a tablet and several people in front of us were quite slow ordering and it made the line take awhile. We waited at least 10-15 minutes in the line. They have an order ahead option I would utilize next time. The seasonal soup was kale and potato. It was very bland and watery. I wouldn't get it again. The bread was tough and chewy. You definitely get a jaw workout. Both of the warm sandwiches could have used a side of Au jus to soften the bread. The meat looks generous, but they do the sandwich trick. You fold the meat in the middle to make it look generous. But the ends are basically devoid of meat. Maybe a sliver. Flavors were really good. The mustard on the Cubano had a nice kick. Porchetta had a kick from the chimichurri and pickled peppers. Both were a little spicy and my son didn't love it so we ordered him a cold ham sandwich without the mustard. The cold meats are high quality as well, but definitely a little plain compared to the warm sandwiches. Overall 5/10 experience though. More evenly distributed meat and softer bread it would be A solid 10/10.

They'll make a smaller Seattle sized version as well for those who don't treat deli as an indulgence of rye and meat piled high. I wish they'd add kreplach to the menu (sorry Vance.

Bonus: this spot is kosher! Potato Latkes (5/5): These latkes are thick boys and fried up so they're piping hot when they hit the table.

Chocolate Babka (2/5): This was truly the only miss I've had here. Unfortunately, the babka just really dries out after it's been sliced, which is a shame because it's just gorgeous with generous swirls of chocolate inside. Reuben (5/5): I really thought their pastrami couldn't be beat, but the brisket is dare I say better? Just as tender and feels a bit less fatty, so it's a little more crushable. Tip: go for the seeded rye over the marbled rye; something about the marbled rye just falls apart a bit more with the juices of the meat, though it's still delicious! Black & White Cookies (4/5): I expected this to be cloyingly sweet, but this was actually scrumptious with some fresh lemon flavor in the cookie itself. Absolutely massive as well.
