Angela Q. Vietnamese Food and Deli

The bahn mi I had was 80% fat and 20% meat literally chunks of fat not the good fat that’s on pork belly but the fat that you usually cut off and throw away. I hate to leave a negative review on a small business but this is the second time I’ve been here thinking it would have improved a little bit after six months With all the negative reviews, but I don’t think I’ll come back here ever again. There’s a lot of good options in San Jose. It’s just convenient for me so I gave it a shot.

I came here with my ex girlfriend during the Pandemic, and had some good Bahn Mi sandwiches here. I came not long after that and the guy made me food and me not realizing it was cash only and had no cash he kindly gave the food to me anyways. I came back 30 minutes later and gave him the money and a $20 tip for his kindness. Then today happened. It had been years and I craved a Bahn Mi - but noticed the reviews of this place mentioning spoiled food more than a few times. Today I had a Bahn Mi with cucumbers that were beyond bad, and the pork was 90% fat. The Pandan bread that I had years ago was less green than I remember, and had literal mold spores growing on the bottom. The green milk drink with jelly also tasted off. I was sad to say everything was spoiled because the lady was so nice and despite not speaking any English got my order right. I noticed hot foods and raw sausage meat were left on the tables at room temperature to be sold and had been there for hours. I’m not exaggerating when I say this place can kill somebody. Too many instances of people saying their food is spoiled, and their prepared foods are sitting out there hours on end and are all room temperature. I still have it a chance despite the risk and my god I have never received three different food items that were all well past their eat by date.

This place is small and has everything mostly already prepared I got some spring rolls and let me tell you they had the best sauce I’ve ever tasted! I order a lot of spring rolls and most sauces tend to be petty disgusting but this place does it delicious!! They also had some sesame treats with melted sugar these were pretty tasty as well!! By far the best the lady was really nice and pretty welcoming!

The sandwiches were old, tasted nasty by the time we bought them and ate them 5 minutes later. We ended up threw away 6 sandwiches after taking couple bites of them all to try to find if anything good (buy 5 get 1 free) and the meat in 1 of them even rotten, smell really bad. So upset.

The bread here is very delicious, especially the bread sticks and silk rolls ??. Everyone is supportive

feel amazed with the variety of food, feeling local Vietnamese

Very good

this store just changed owner and the food is good

Mediocre banh mi. This used to be my favorite spot to get banh mi but their quality of meat has gone down so much. Grilled pork is not mostly fatty pieces of meat. The Vietnamese ham tastes old. The Mayo isn’t as rich and flavorful as before. Also they recently increased the price of their sandwiches and made them a lot smaller. I rather they just charge more for their usual bigger sandwiches.

This is my 2nd time ordering food here. Bánh mì was mediocre. Nothing special. However, their other dishes were spoiled.I ordered Bún riêu, cơm rượu, sương sâm (grass jelly), bánh bò nướng, nem chua, xôi khúc and cá kho.Bánh bò was good, nem chua was ok, cơm rượu was just ok, cá kho was a little too sweet for my taste, but bun rieu was spoiled! The broth for the bun was salty without the depth expected from bone broth, the meatballs were just ok…lots of dried shrimp, though. But the tofu and the chả lụa were spoiled.Last time, I remember my food was also spoiled.Two times is enough for me. I don’t think my stomach can handle spoiled food the third time.
