This place is a hidden gem — friendly vibes and genuine hospitality. It feels like a little oasis right in the middle of a busy area. The bossa nova music adds a smooth touch to the atmosphere, and the food? Authentic, flavorful, and seriously tasty. I’ll definitely be coming back — it’s close to work and already one of my favorite lunch spots.

I’m curious to try this place because the owner is one of famous vietnamese singer . But the service and Bánh mi very disappointed! The service counter not greeting Hi or say anything when you enter! Banh Mi is less meat and filling with baguette style! $8 for special cold meat.

I like banh mi lynda sandwich, the pate smells good and very flavorful, i really like this and i came from portland just to eat hers at cali. if there was 10 stars i would rate it 10 stars! i recommend eating there because it tastes good and you shoukd try the xa xiu. My dad had to eat 2 banh mis because it was too good 💕

Some of the best, freshest bahn mi in the OC- love the bbq pork as theirs is always fresh and soft, and if you add a fried egg to it- chefs kiss. Service is friendly and great viet coffee

Disappointing Experience at Lynda’s Sandwich
I’m someone who typically loves Lynda’s Sandwich Shop and their Bahn Mi. In fact, I’ve never had an issue with their food or staff before, but my recent visit on 10/23 was an unfortunate exception.
I came in around 3:30 p.m. and placed an order for four chicken sandwiches with egg and extra special sauce. The cashier asked, “Four Lynda’s Specials?” Assuming that “Lynda’s Special” meant what I described (chicken, egg, and extra special sauce), I said yes.
However, when I got home, I realized the sandwiches were incorrect. None of them had chicken or egg, so I drove back to the shop to explain the mistake. When I informed the cashier, he told me that if I wanted the correct sandwiches, I’d have to pay again. I calmly explained that I had already paid for four sandwiches and that I just wanted the ones I ordered.
The cashier stood firm, saying I confirmed the “Lynda’s Special” and that was what I received, so my options were to either take the sandwiches or pay for another set. I got frustrated at this point and insisted they either refund my money or remake the sandwiches I had originally asked for.
After a tense back-and-forth, he eventually agreed to remake the sandwiches, but only "this one time." While I appreciated that he finally resolved the issue, it was an unnecessarily difficult situation, and the customer service was disappointing.
To make matters worse, after the argument, I didn’t feel comfortable eating the sandwiches I’d gotten. I genuinely don’t enjoy raising my voice or having confrontations like this, and I don’t plan on returning to Lynda’s in the future.
The banh mi chay was absolutely delicious! There are many other unique items on the menu that I'm eager to try next time. The black ice coffee was a bit lighter than I expected from a Vietnamese coffee shop. It almost tasted like a donut shop coffee with ice added. While it wasn't bad, I hoped for a darker, stronger flavor. The service was great, the shop was clean, and the food came out quickly.

The subs grind the meat which is different from what we’re used to in the northeast, so I don’t know if it’s this particular restaurant or a west coast thing. Wicked awesome sandwiches. Had 3 different, all good!
