Love that all their sandwiches come with pate (except the vegetarian one). The service was fast and friendly. The lady who took my order seems like she was also the one who made my sandwich.

This place was fairly reasonable for the price I'd say. Though we did split between the 3 of us. We…read moredid their sampler that had 3 sandwiches: Steak, Spicy Chicken and Egg. They cut each sandwich into 3 pieces and prepared for each of us our own little sampler. Overall I thought each sando was flavorful. It's a toss up for me though between the steak and the spicy chicken. The chicken had a decent crunch to it so couldn't complain about that at all. The little sauce pipettes were cool too. I loved applying the sauce with it. The portion sizes for these sandos were good too. I was decently full after. The sandos did take a little while to come out but it was worth the wait I'd say. The chips kept us occupied while we waited. Nice enough ambiance here. Side note they do have those fancy toilets lol.

Honestly, they're not as good as the bánh mì I usually get back in OC, but they're decent enough. The Vietnamese coffee was just okay nothing special. I also got some sticky rice and a steamed bun. Overall, it's more about filling up than having an amazing meal. The place looked clean, and it was pretty busy when I visited, so I had to wait a bit for my bánh mì. The staff were very friendly , attentive, and easy parking. One thing to note: if you pay with a credit card, the establishment adds a 4% surcharge to help offset processing costs, so cash might be the better option.

The bánh mì at Dakao Sandwiches are seriously so good. The…read morebread is the real standout... perfectly crunchy on the outside, chewy on the inside, and sturdy enough to hold all the fillings together without falling apart. Every bite has that ideal balance of texture and flavor that makes a great bánh mì. The shop itself is located in a somewhat rundown strip mall, and parking can definitely be a challenge since there aren't many spaces for the number of businesses in the plaza. That said, it's absolutely worth the visit. It gets pretty busy, which isn't surprising considering how affordable and delicious the food is. Service can be a bit hit-or-miss and tends to slow down when they're packed, but the quality of the sandwiches keeps people coming back. If you're looking for a tasty, no-frills bánh mì spot, this one delivers.

The staff was very friendly. I ordered the shredded beef empanada with the plantains and two sides of sauce, the creamy tomato one and the creamy cilantro. Everything was delicious. I also ordered the avocado and tomato salad which I have previously ordered at the other location. I wasn't impressed with the size given the 13.00 cost for it and some of the avocados were browning on the sides. I still ate it and it was good, but not great value. The food here is always very flavorful!

Not gonna lie, this place is TINY... like blink and you might miss it ..but wow, what a hidden gem…read more I went today around lunchtime and it was honestly such a good choice. The food? INSANE. Like "I need a nap after this" type of good. Everything tasted super authentic, like someone's Cuban grandma is back there cooking with love and zero concern about calories. Also, shoutout to the girl working there today at noon -- super sweet, friendly, and made the whole experience even better. I came in thinking "ok let's see" and left full, happy, and slightly questioning my life choices because I wanted to order everything on the menu If you care about fancy decor, this isn't your spot. But if you care about GOOD FOOD that hits your soul... yeah, come here. Just don't blame me if you leave in a food coma

I am always on the hunt for a great Bahn Mi and stumbled upon this Chinatown restaurant. There were…read moreonly a few tables inside and were all full so we knew it was going to be good. We ordered the pork patty spring rolls, egg rolls, and chicken bahn mi. Everything was EXCEPTIONAL! The spring rolls were different than I had before and had lots of different textures which made it stand out from other ones we have eaten. The eggrolls were outstanding and fresh. The bahn mi was so flavorful and the bread was crisp with a fluffy inside. I can't wait to come back again and try more things. We saw a lot of tables order the meatball bahn mi so we know it just be good. Will be ordering that next time!

Went there on a Saturday at noon and got seated right away. Several people walked in soon and…read moreformed a line for tables or to-go orders. Our main goal was to try their bao bun but it was already sold out. Hu Tieu combination noodle (3.5/5) - broth was pretty good but no in-depth flavor. Protein was mostly fish balls.

The first thing I want to say is how much I appreciate their service. When we first got there we…read morewere hungry but the entire restaurant was full. They were hosting an event and the dining room was completely bought out. Instead of turning us away, they made a special area for us out on the patio and had a waitress who checked in on us often to make sure we were taken care of with questions, concerns, and suggestions. The bread service was fresh and delicious. They brought out balsamic, oil, and whipped butter to go with it and we barely finished the bread before dinner was served. The sausage ragu and pollo saltimbocca were both amazing. They customized to our requests and offered pairing ideas. The dessert selection was incredible and we will be back soon to keep trying even more of the menu!

For our appetizer we ordered the calamari. It came out fresh, with sauce and lemon. This restaurant had its speciality items from the menu, however we decided to order the sausage and peppers hot sandwhich and a burger. The sausage and peppers sandwich came out with ALOT of marinara sauce, the sauce was burning hot and dripping from the sandwich. The sauce was too hot, dripped on my hand and had to let it sit for a bit before picking it up again. Also the sausage and pepper hot sandwich does not come with cheese or mayo. Although we had customized the order for the burger. The burger came out well done, and with no cheese, and ALOT of fries. This restaurant has potential, however it is an Italian restaurant in the area of China Town.

Stopped here for the first time for an easy lunch and it was excellent! I tried a variety of the…read moreempanadas, and my favorite was the spicy beef. The empanadas are generously stuffed with your filling of choice and all were super flavorful. If I had to pick a least favorite, I would say it was the "pizza" as there was not enough tomato sauce. You can order the empanadas baked or fried. I got all of mine baked. The pastry/dough part of the empanada is great. It's not too bready and it is light, flaky, and crackly. I just wish there was some way to tell which empanada has what filling without having to cut them open, as they all look the same in the box. The restaurant is super clean and nicely decorated. Staff is very friendly and everything is made fresh to order! I will be back to try their pizzas and different empanada fillings!

Grateful for that since I had just come from a meeting that ended late. I got a grilled pork banh mi which was great, the flavor of the pork, the other fillings, and the bread was all excellent. The other thing I got was a wrapped plate of sticky/mochi rice topped with different things. Honestly I'm not sure what it was called or what exactly the toppings were but my best guess is pork floss, sausage (lup Cheong), and something else which I'm not sure what it was but it tasted very good. The man who took my order was nice and I got my food quick. They take cash and card. They have lots of things in the case which all looked good, even though I'm not sure what they all are. I'll have to go back and try more some other time. Very glad I stopped in today.
