Saigon Deli

Authentic! Such good bahn mis! I wish I could get there early enough to get the bitter melon soup 😭 They have a parking lot to the left side of the building and two entrances into the shop. Baked goods, soups, sandwiches and ready to go appetizers and entrees. Also a fridge with chè! Get there before it gets too busy 😅

I've been going to this place for decades... the sandwiches are the BOMB!!! (Though, I don't really go for the jalepeno peppers, and it's super hit or miss if you ask them to hold the peppers.) I've only tried a few of the hot foods, and the chicken curry is SUPER good!! I should be more gutsy and take chances with unknown stuff there, but... when the student is ready, the teacher will appear...

Hole in the wall tucked in a shopping center right off of 12th and Jackson, great place to get lunch on the go. This place sets the standard for bahn mi that I compare every other Vietnamese sandwich to, the BBQ pork sandwich is just about perfect. Bread, meat, veggies, are all on point, the peppers are sufficiently spicy, and it's DIRT cheap. Have yet to try the rest of the menu but that's a testament to how good the sandwiches are, I can bring myself to spend money on something else. There's no seating, but there are plenty of places within walking distance to sit and enjoy your meal. I HIGHLY recommend Saigon Deli.

For over ten years of going to this place when lots of friends refer me to this spot. Sometimes I forget that these sandwiches are pack with so much meat and all the flavor combined( best sandwiches til this day). There are so many things to choose from besides the sandwiches and bahn cuon is also one of my got to have no matter what. Service is great and friendly staff as always. This place of course is always busy everyday day.
