    King with "cheese"
    Erin N.

    It's very disappointing to see that this is what a quality sandwich looks like. For a king extra meat and cheese is part of the deal however upon recieving our sandwiches, that was not the case. The meat is extreamly dry, with no cheese in site. When I called to ask for a refund I was met with " I made it myself, I put cheese" then this shows the quality of the sandwich as well as the value is extreamly poor. When I asked for a refund I needed to return to the restaurant to "prove" that the sandwich has no cheese. Super disappointing considering the already unpleasant experience. I appreciate the manager doing a refund as well as remaking the sandwich however I will no longer be doing business with this location.

    Gilroy with curly fries

    I got a Gilroy cheese steak and asked for jalapenos on the side. The meat was too salty and I did not get my jalapenos on the side. The curly fries were good d.

    Friday last week I came in for a large garlic with provolone cheese. For the 3rd time in a row I was given American cheese. This didn't much bother me.. until I called to let them know they made it wrong and the team leader manager instantly told me it's provolone and that they did not make a mistake. I can see and taste the wrong cheese. She had no care in the world to give the right order. That's not good customer service not even decent customer service. I went back in today to exchange the sandwich for the right one. After arriving and speaking to a cashier who was very kind, the same team leader I spoke to Friday then approached me at the cashier counter still being combative. Telling me she's not sure what kind of cheese it is now and that since I had a few bites she could only give me half a sandwich. Load of crap. I'll never be back there and what's comical is she told me I'm not allowed back there. I hope corporate has a hay day with this terrible location. Worst in the Bay Area. I only stop here when commuting home. What a mistake I made doing that. I cannot wait to report to corporate you have non English speaking workers not giving a care in the world about who's around them and who they serve. Get it together !!!!!! joke !!!!

    A closer look :).

    I came with an open mind. I've always seen this place but never stopped in. It looks pretty decent inside and clean. There are quite a few tables as well. I wasn't really hungry so I just ordered their sweet potato fries! It came to me hot and fresh. I ordered a large (I wasn't sure how big the serving was) and it was enough for two. They were good. They get three stars because the fries were good but service ....eh!!! I wasn't greeted even though I stood right in front of the cashier. She was busy fussing with something but a quick "hello I'll be right with you" would've been ok. Then when she was ready to take my order she still didn't say hi and looked irritated as if I was bothering her. The order took at least 7 minutes so I sat for a couple of minutes to eat my fries then just left. Maybe another visit might be better one next time.

    First time for two cold cut Italians and one meatball…read more Bread to meat ratio on the meatball was unreal it's like a meatloaf but meatball flavors and goodness with just the right about of cheese and marinara sauce ! Two cold cuts same but not warm perfect meat to bread and extremely flavorful! My husband and I will definitely be back.

A lot of folks probably drive right by because it's not in the fancy part of town, but man, once you step inside (or order ahead), you're in for some of the best Italian subs and homemade sausage around. The sausage is made in-house and it's unreal--juicy, perfectly seasoned, with that authentic bold flavor you can't fake. We got the Italian Dip (loaded with their pork/beef sausage blend, onions, garlic, mushrooms) and it was next-level: rich, savory, and the bread soaks up every bit of that au jus goodness without falling apart. The cold Italian sub was stacked high with premium meats, fresh veggies, and just the right balance--total classic done right. Service was super friendly and welcoming, like family running the spot. The ambiance is no-frills (think casual counter, quick grab-and-go or eat nearby), but that's part of the charm--it's all about the food, not the flash. If you're craving real-deal Italian sandwiches and homemade sausage without the crowds or hype, make the detour. This small family-owned spot is worth it every time. We'll be back for more!

The rice was cooked well, veggies were fresh, chicken was flavorful, and all the other toppings and sauce all worked well together. It was a world of flavors combined. The ONLY drawback that held me from giving Banh Mi Express a 5 star was the portion to price ratio. As stated earlier, I ordered a large, in which was a typical "meal prep" container. If that was the large, it made me think how small the regular size was. And to think it was basically $20 for a bowl -- thankfully it was delicious! I will definitely be coming back -- and I MUST try their sandwiches. I'm usually a sucker for Banh mi's.

I also ordered my usual, the Grilled Pork Banh Mi. It was yummy, too. This is an order-at-the-counter place, however, they've installed a Kiosk for orders. When I walked in, the place was empty but the lady didn't take my order. So, I placed my order at the Kiosk. I went shopping at TJ's after ordering. My order was ready after I returned from TJ (about 15 min.).
