Forget American sandwiches...whenever I am craving a sandwich I come here! Thien Huong is in the same plaza as Target/Chic Fil A, so there's plenty of parking in the large lot. The store is always clean inside, and there are usually empty tables to eat at. There is a kiosk to order, which I recommend if it's your first time (they have pictures of each item on the menu). I usually always get the grilled pork baguette, which features tender and flavorful meat with cucumbers, pickled carrots/radish, and jalapeno. This order never does me wrong. I've also had the meatball baguette, which is coated with soy sauce and fish sauce. It's hard to get an affordable sandwich in this economy, but Thien Huong delivers. For under $10, you can get a huge sandwich that will keep you full. They also have a buy 3 get 1 free deal, which is worth it if you're with a larger group. read more

Thien Huong - Vietnamese Near Me - San Jose, California

I decided to try this place after noticing how busy it was while I was nearby getting my car washed. I ordered the roti chicken banh mi and an iced coffee latte. The latte was excellent--really flavorful and enjoyable. The sandwich also tasted good, but it felt extremely heavy, rich, and fried. It contained chicken, and I thought there may have been a small amount of bacon as well, although I'm not completely sure. Unfortunately, after eating about half of the sandwich and returning home, I became very sick and vomited everything. I eat banh mi sandwiches regularly and have never experienced anything like this before. I cannot say for certain what caused it or whether it was related to the ingredients, preparation, or something else, but the timing was concerning. I also noticed other reviews mentioning cleanliness concerns, which made me feel even more uneasy. Sadly, based on my experience, I will not be returning. read more

They have a kiosk for ordering inside now, very convenient. Buy 3 sandwiches and get 1 free, it's a better deal than Duc Huong. It took about 20 minutes for 4 sandwiches. All of the veggies were packed on the side as requested. It was a generous portion of veggies for 4 sandwiches and my mom really enjoyed her sandwich with all the fresh greens. Grilled pork has green onions mixed in and it is really delicious. I enjoyed my banh mi dac biet a lot, added extra mayonnaise for $0.50. Drinks are just okay, standard Thai tea and green milk tea. There are plenty of tables inside to hang out. I would definitely come back for the sandwiches if I am in the area. read more

We popped in for their buy 3 get one free banh mi deal and it didn't disappoint. That means delicious on the cheap, which I always appreciate. I got my two Dò Chay vegetarian banh mis and was happy to learn that they are actually vegan by default and didn't contain any mayo. These veggie banh mis were fantastic fresh and also good the next day. The bread was perfection and the sandwiches were packed with mushrooms and veggies. I wasn't hating on all the cilantro stuffed in them either. It's a small shop in a busy parking lot filled with other Vietnamese businesses. Staff was no nonsense. I would totally get takeout veggie banh mis from here again. read more

Thien Huong - Half of the vegetarian banh mi (vegan by default). Delish! - Vietnamese Near Me - San Jose, California

The customer service here was disappointing. I ordered at the kiosk, but my card got declined, so I placed the order again. On their end, it showed two orders, but we only got one receipt and did not realize both went through. When I explained this in English and Vietnamese, the employee assumed I was changing my mind about ordering two. She even said to her employee "troi oi" like it was a hassle, when it was an issue with their machine. Her tone was dismissive, and even after confirming my card had declined, she did not apologize, just told me to take one sandwich. The lack of basic courtesy made the interaction feel rude. The sandwich itself was fine, and the price was pretty standard. read more

Thien Huong Sandwiches and Bakery is located in the plaza close to the original Boiling Crab, Target, Chevron Gas, Pho Papa, etc. The parking is spacious though, during peak hours, I am sure it's harder to find spots, since these other restaurants are very popular. The interior is simple yet modern. It has a casual vibe with Vietnamese house music playing. They have several tables to sit at, as well as, benches and window counter seats to relax at. One unisex restroom only. I got the Special Combination Banh Mi (4/5). The bread was toasty and had a nice crunch but soft and chewy. The pickled veggies were lightly pickled and they used a Persian cucumber so it was slightly sweeter. The cold cuts were ham, headcheese, and a steamed pork slice. The pate was smooth and creamy.

I originally yelped and directions to Duc Huong sandwiches but as I was driving nearby I noticed this banh mi place as it was sitting on a corner in the TARGET shopping center in Evergreen area in SJ. No rush at all place is modern clean and not that large. They have a touch screen but it wasn't working don't know why . I usually get a grilled pork banh mi and it was pretty good. The bread wasn't too hard like LEES sandwiches . The crumbs didn't make a mess either . I ordered Vietnamese iced coffeee and it was amazing and strong . The prices were reasonable and service was great. Superb location and plenty of free parking . Good find for me. Ingredient s were all fresh also. 5/5 read more

Unfortunately, this was a very disappointing experience. The service was poor, and the staff's attitude was rude and unprofessional, which made the visit unpleasant. The Banh Mi also fell short of expectations and was not comparable in quality to what I've had at other locations. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and works to improve both the customer service and food quality. Based on this experience, I would not return or recommend this location. read more

House Special Roti Chicken Baguette / Banh Mi Ga Roti ($10) - CAT DOI/ CUT IN HALF, THEM RAU/XTRA VEGGIES, +PATE 5. Roasted Pork Belly Baguette / Banh Mi Ba Chi ($9.50) - CAT DOI/ CUT IN HALF, THEM RAU/XTRA VEGGIES I got the chicken and the hubby got the other two sandwiches. I thought they were fine. I do wish there was more pate, but otherwise, there was a good amount of veggies. Tho with extra veggies, I did expect a little more. The bread was toothsome, so it does have a good chew. I like chewy bread, so this was up my alley. For the hubs, it hurt the roof of his mouth. So delicate! Lol. I think a solid spot for a banh mi. REVIEW #3784 read more

The good: The interior is modern, sleek and offers indoor seating unlike many banh mi thit places. It's bright and has neutral colors. I self ordered through a kiosk. They sell both regular and smaller sandwiches. I got a regular Vietnamese chicken sandwich. The contents were great and I loved the flavor and texture of the shredded chicken. I loved how much (a lot) cilantro they gave. The bad: The bread seemed slightly undercooked. I would've liked it more toasty and lighter. There's no outdoor seating. The interesting: They share the same space and ordering kiosk as Trung Nguyên Legend coffee. read more

Came here for a girls gathering with MySundaeClub and got to try their banh mi sandwich and coffee! I got the grilled chicken #2 and an iced latte. It didn't take too long especially since we had alot of orders. I loved the long length of the sandwich and it was stuffed with both meat and fresh veggies (like cucumber, cilantro, picked veggies). The bread was a soft baguette. The latte was unsweetened and smooth. Def recommend to check out! read more

Very disappointed with the cà phê sữa here. Look at how dark and thick it is plus the coffee cup was poorly packaged. It tasted overwhelmingly bitter, and I could barely taste any condensed milk at all. It honestly felt more like extremely strong black coffee than Vietnamese milk coffee. For $8.50 through Doordash I expected much better quality and balance. I normally understand not expecting specialty coffee from a sandwich place, but this location specifically promotes TRUNG NGUYEN LEGEND COFFEE on their drink menu, so I think customers have every reason to expect an authentic and enjoyable Vietnamese coffee experience. Unfortunately, this drink was a complete letdown and not worth the price. I would not recommend spending money on the drinks here. read more

Good fillings on the banh mi here but the bread could be better. The bread is on the firmer side. Doesn't have the good crisp and fluffiness. Ordered on the kiosk and picked up shortly after. I got the combination, meatball, and pork sausage. Decent amount of pate and butter in the bread. Good cold cuts. The meatball had ok flavor. They share restaurant with trung Nguyen legends coffee.

My colleague introduced me to Thien Hong Vietnamese Sandwiches, and ever since, I've been completely hooked. Their pork sausage banh mi is my absolute favorite--the fresh‑baked bread has the perfect crunch, and they load it up with a generous amount of veggies and pork. Every bite is perfectly balanced and full of flavor. Fast service, great prices, and consistently delicious food make this place an easy go‑to. read more

The best banh mi here hands down my husband and I go to it whenever we are in town. The baguette is soft and the toppings are really fresh. I love that you can add more jalapeños or toppings which is a plus for me. I get the Special Roti Chicken and it's not too dry the flavor profile of the meat is on point. We also get the iced Vietnamese coffees here sooo good I finished it too quickly. I will say it's a little difficult to determine which coffee has what since the names are nebulous to me. The space itself looks clean and well maintained we haven't had issue finding a place to sit and eat but we also make an effort to go during non-peak hours. read more

i was craving banh mi like crazy when i was stopping by. the place is kinda small but cozy, playing viet music, the lights here are nice also. staffs are nice & apologized for cutting the wrong portion of the banh mi (i wouldnt mind cause all of them will go to my stomach anyway lol) read more

I am a die-hard Duc Huong fan, so was weary to try a new place. We had the grilled pork and the combo. Pro: *meat is superior *veg is superior *amount of both is far superior Con: *bread is heavy, and got a bit hard after a few hours delay for eating *full-size only, no small Definitely want to come back and eat right away. Overall, this place gives Duc Huong a run for their $! read more

Ordered the House special Grilled Pork at 1131am. It is now 1221pm (50 min.) and still waiting for my one sandwich order. Very Disappointing. I tipped at the Kiosk when I ordered and payed. Lesson learned. Other people after me are starting to ask for their money back. I don't I know how the sandwich taste, but will not come here again. read more

I wasn't happy about having to make 3 separate transactions for ALL MY ORDERS, they were separated and done in different transactions. A bit of an inconvenience...not the workers fault, so I hope the business owner fixes this. Sandwich is good, I would recommend getting veggies on the side because it made the bread soggy by the time I was able to eat it 4 hours later for lunch break. I like that they serve Trung Nguyen Legend coffees here, have been wanting to try it, I ordered the coffee with coconut cream ($9.50+tax), the price would throw off a lot of people and tbh, I was taken back as well because it's a regular (Starbucks grande cup size) size cup. Probably wouldn't spend this much on coffee again unless someone ask me if I want TNL coffees. Quiet location, good for study or gathering if this is your kind of vibe. read more

Great job remodeling this place! I love that there are many seats now, so you can enjoy your meal here. Every time we come here I order #1. Bbq Pork Banh Mi. Sweet and tender meat with veggies. It feels healthier than a burger from McDonald's or In N Out, but they probably both have an insane amount of calories. At least with the banh mi, it's high in protein. Plus, I read somewhere that it provides potassium, iron, and other nutrients to support overall health being. Cheers to that! I also like to get Vietnamese Egg Coffee from Trung Nguyen Legend Coffee. I guess I should write a review separately, but it's in the same building as Thien Huong. It's FRUSTRATING when they ask me to pay for the sandwich and drink separately. Why can't they ring up both items at the same time??? They're using the same cash register! Can't they divide it later when they add up all their money? It's kind of a turn-off when you're buying lunch for someone and then you have to pay for the drink. I'd be like, "Pay for your drink, dude. I don't want to have to swipe my card again." Whatever, I guess the Bahn Mi and the drinks are worth it to deal with it. The food is good, but the service has been lacking a few times. Like today, we waited so long for our Bahn Mi. There were a lot of people waiting in the lobby area. After about 20 minutes, my man finally got up and checked. He noticed it was just sitting on the counter. Geez! We wondered how long it was sitting there. They knew we were sitting in the dining area... or did they? I'm glad we got our drink right away! read more

We were in the neighborhood and wanted a banh mi and some strong coffee. The vietnamese coffee with sea salt cream is delicious and strong. It keep me up all say. My husband like his Thai Ice Tea. We also got pork banh mi and roti chicken. We as a family personally like the pork better than the roti chicken. The roti chicken just need flavor for us. The place is nice. They have a place where you can order yourself or go the the counter to order your food and drink. They were busy so I can understand getting our food was a bit slow. But otherwise it was fine. read more

Thien Huong Sandwiches & Trung Nguyen Legend is a shared space and owned by the same owner. This combination makes it easy and convenient for you to get both food and coffee! There's nothing quite like an authentic Vietnamese sandwich paired with your favorite coffee or tea. From the crispy, fresh-baked baguette to your choice of flavorful fillings -- grilled pork, pork chop, vegetarian, and more -- every layer is packed with texture and taste. Crunchy pickled veggies and fresh herbs bring it all together to create the perfect bite every time. Growing up, Banh Mi was one of the staples in my family's food rotation. It was our go-to meal, especially on road trips ---- before we hit the road, we had to make a stop at our local Vietnamese sandwich shop. My personal favorite has always been Banh Mi Thit Nuong (grilled pork), but lately I've been mixing it up with the vegetarian option too -- both are equally satisfying. Trung Nguyen Legend started from the instant coffee packets you can find at the Vietnamese supermarket. My mom would be packets of the instant coffee on her market runs. When the coffee shop opened up, I was excited to try it! The vietnamese iced coffee are strong and bold (as it should be), paired along with a sweet and salty topping like egg foam and sea salt cream. A drink that I was unsure of what to expect is the Pandan Lotus Tea. This was surprisingly so good and refreshing! Whether you're reliving a childhood comfort or have kept it a staple in your meals, this spot brings all the nostalgic flavors with authentic, fresh ingredients. A must-try!

Stopped by to get some bánh mì for the road back to OC. We thought OC prices were going expensive but nope, SJ beats us for sure. Nice clean, small store that share with the coffee shop and they have the special deal coffee & bánh mì for $13. We got that with BA CHỈ Roasted Pork Belly & VNese hot milk café or cà phê sữa nóng. The sandwich is thick filled with a lot of veggies, just couple slices of meat. The bread is good when it hot but if you leave it within 10mins with cold weather it just hard and chewy (just needs to reheat if you are at home or have oven to heat it up for coupe mins). Well combined and tasty, just wish they would added a little bit more of pâté since it was little. Service was good - you do self order but unfortunately, their machine is not working and the couple infront of us had hard time for 5-7mins before realized that it didn't work. The staff behind the counter came over and helped since the line if 3 became 6 and the entrance door opens with cold cold air. Service is nice and friendly, the turnaround took around 7-10mins since I only see 2 fronts staffs and 1 or 2 in back. The place had small seating area in the corner looking through the Main Street or the other side w/ the coffee shop overlooking the parking. Overall, it was okey bánh mì and good service in a cute store. read more

There's been a renovation to the coffee/boba bar with the new collaboration (?) with Trung Nguyen Coffee. The store looks very updated and the seating area seems very comfortable and intimate. It's been a few months since I ordered banh mi from here. Today, I ordered my usual banh mi, Banh Mi Cha Lua with add on of Ba chi (Vietnamese style pork ham sandwich with add on of pork belly). The sandwich was stuffed with veggies and meat. The bread was crunchy with a hint of buttery flavor. And since they no longer make Chrysanthemum tea, the staff suggested the Tra Dao Cam Sua (Peach Orange Lemongrass Tea) and I asked for less sweet. The drink is garnished very pretty and is very refreshing. If you don't like lemon grass then you may not like this drink as the lemon grass is stronger than the citrus taste by just a tad bit but it can be an overhwelming flavor for someone who does not like lemon grass. It comes with basil seeds so no toppings is needed. However, the tea was still too sweet for me. After the ice melted, the tea tasted much better for me, personally. Service has always been good here from my experience. The staff are friendly and quick. However this place can be quite busy so best to call ahead for pick up. Note: My order was rung up separately with banh mi first then the tea. Quite an inconvenience. read more

Thien Huong has always been on my to try list in San Jose for banh mis, but given the location and access to the parking lot, I never wanted to stop by. But one day, I finally caved and stopped by since I saw that there was a poster outside for Vietnamese coffee. Surprisingly, the day that I decided to go try their banh mi, they were under renovation and construction for the addition of Trung Nguyen Legend. They were only serving 6 sandwiches at that time with their most popular six is my assumption. Literally the next day I came back, all the work was complete and the space was transformed on the inside! They now serve Vietnamese coffee, egg coffee, salted versions, energy version - I mean there is a massive menu here for that. The quality of the coffee is robust and smooth, you can't go wrong. However the prices are on the steep side. Make this a sit down opportunity for yourself when you stop by for the coffee experience because they really furnished the place well and it is very relaxing. You wouldn't even be able to tell that on the outside are the unhoused and smells like hot garbage. Back to the actual reason that I came by. I had the opportunity to try the #1 WHICH ISN'T YOUR CLASSIC COMBO. Imagine my shock and pleasant surprise, it was their grilled pork baguette (7.5) I also ordered the #4 pork sausage baguette (7.5). All the sandwiches run 7.5 and there are 11 options includes sardines and shredded pork/pork skin. What they don't have is your classic combo with pork sausage, but their #4 is straight up all sausages. I do love that their sandwiches come out warm and the filling they do not skimp. There is enough grilled pork for an entire vermicelli bowl if you deconstructed it and then some leftover. The pickled veggies are light and I found that refreshing. They do huge slices of cucumbers packed with cilantro! The sandwiches ordered here typically have the veggies on the side packed for to go, so you can tell them that you want it on the inside if you plan eating it right away. I do wish that they added more pate and mayo to the bread as I found it a bit dry. Overall not bad and I say based on price and portion - they are giving a lot more than Duc Huong and are not as greasy. They take care and card here and there is always parking. Insane that I never knew they opened at 5am, so if I caught myself have a banh mi craving, I'll definitely stop by. Oh and if you order coffee, it has to be a separate order. They can't do it in the same transaction as your sandwich order, but hopefully that changes with time. read more

If you are vegetarian/vegan/plant-based STAY AWAY FROM THIS ESTABLISHMENT. I've been vegetarian for my entire life and I have never had meat. I ordered the vegetarian sandwich from this place and it had pork mixed into it!? First of all the texture of the banh mi was weird, too squishy from the mushrooms and wasn't a good tasting experience. To make matters worse, there was literal meat in the sandwich. So ridiculous do NOT come here if you are a strict vegetarian. Run. The workers didn't even give a proper apology or anything wow I cannot wrap my head around this read more

My co worker came in with a sandwich from here and it looked scrumptious so I needed to get a taste for myself. I was looking for the sign to the place and kept seeing tea and finally went around the corner and saw the sandwich sign. There was a bunch of people scattered along the wall so I didn't know where the line was but the lady at the register waved me down and I approached her. Very kind and took my order #1 and was patient while I quickly browsed the tea menu. I got a strawberry lychee green tea. I gave her cash thinking it was a cash only spot but they accept card (fee for use ? No idea) My tea was made quickly and I waited for my sandwich to come out. When I sat down they were at number 198 (I was 209). Their phone was ringing off the chain (better to order ahead via phone). 30+ minutes later my order was ready and I was on my way. My sandwich was delicious and the meat had a good flavor and texture. The meat portion could have been more but for the price it works. Plenty of the veggies and they were all fresh. The bun had a nice crunch and soft inside. Not the best bun I've ever had but it met the mark. It was a good clean sandwich and I got full. Also the price is unbeatable for this area. The strawberry lychee drink was sweet but overall good. Will decrease sweetness next time. Parking is crazy during lunch rush. So many customers in an out the entire time I was there. The lady who took my order was friendly and efficient. They accept card which is a plus. Definitely will call ahead to skip the 30+ minute wait. read more

When coming into the store, it seemed a bit run down, but I think they are just going through a remodeling process. Ordering was quick/easy and I got my banh mi relatively fast. This place accepts cash AND card, which is a plus since I know many other banh mi places only accepts cash. I got the 3. Combination Baguette and it was really good. The bread had the perfect crunch and the meat inside paired very well with the fresh ingredients. I love the butter mayonnaise they use here as it makes the banh mi explode with flavor. Definitely a great banh mi option. read more

When I came, the cashier told me the sandwich was not ready, because they did make in order. Seriously??? Only one sandwich took 20 min to make ? Why I have to call in advance then I kept waiting again?

This is located in a plaza so there's plenty of parking but it's not a great location and there are loiters... Our favorite is the Combination Banh Mi here. Generally, we like grilled pork at other banh mi spots but something about the combination here just tastes a lot better. They give a decent amount of meat. Since we get a few extra banh mi, we ask for the veggies to be separated. I would highly recommend heating it for a few minutes in an air fryer as it tastes significantly better! read more

We had a craving for banh mi and I stumbled on this shop near the complex we were exploring. The place was very busy and seemed popular in the neighborhood. There were some seats to dine in and enough places for people to stand to wait for their order. There's a small menu of banh mi, but a variety of banh mi. I went for the traditional classic banh mi with the combination. There's a percentage for credit and debit cards, so paying cash saves money. I was excited for the large portion of banh mi and it was filled with all my favorites. The pork ham portion had more tendon and it was a lot more chewy than I expected and I didn't enjoy that too much. The bread was cooked a bit too much, so it was tougher than I'm used to. I liked my husband's sandwich much better, it was the grilled pork banh mi. The flavor of the pork was delicious and tasty, I wished I had gotten that instead. read more
