Mekong Sandwich is a hidden gem in the city, known for their delicious and fresh bahn mi sandwiches. The friendly staff adds to the inviting atmosphere, making it a must-visit spot. Their bahn mi is made with fresh veggies and just the right amount of spice, served on crispy yet soft bread. Priced at $4.75 each, it's a very good deal for such tasty sandwiches. Customers recommend calling ahead to place orders, especially if ordering many, since they only take cash. The only option available is the Vietnamese cold cuts, which many say is the best banh mi in Des Moines and even in Iowa. The place is loved by families and regulars alike, who find the service very friendly. With a mid-sized driveway parking and street access, it’s easy to find and worth the visit. Visitors enjoy watching the fish tank while waiting for their order, and many plan to return again for the tasty sandwiches.
