banh mi saigon sandwiches & bakery

great sandwiches, equally great value. these folks make a very nice, relatively inexpensive variety of vietnamese style sandwiches, prices generally running from $3 to $3.50 for a 10 inch sandwich. this is a small place with limited seating in a rather seedy strip mall, so most orders are for take out it seems. folks are friendly, service is adequate, though this is not strictly fast food -sandwichesare made to order.

there are 8sandwichesavailable every day, and these are supplemented with daily specials - mostly additional sandwiches, but a plate item or two, from time to time.house made spring rolls are usually available too. most sandwiches, at least the basic 8, come with house mayo, soy sauce, cilantro, onion, cucumber, pickled daikon/carrot mixture, and jalapeno slices. these can be left off or doubled up, and so on, and other items are here like lemongrass and fish sauce. the toppings always seem to be fresh and full of flavor.

the bread is very important to the taste of the sandwiches, and they provide a freshly baked, crusty french baquette here, and it makes the sandwich - don't know if they are baked in house, but they are fresh. since the toppings are usually the same, or nearly so, the main meat or meats will dictate the overall taste of the sandwich - and as with most things, not all the items are equally good in combination.

the classic #1 includes pate, ham, and pork roll with the usual toppings, and this is just a great tatste combination - sometimes i'll get it with extra cilantro, or extra jalapenos, or both. #8 is fried pork, and it is another that i really like - nice sharp flavor in the pork, especcially good with more jalapenos. the #6, meatball, is just bland for my taste, no matter how i dress it up.

#4 is bbq, pork or beef, and is very good, especially the pork, though the beef is far from bad. i also like the chicken curry which is usually availabe. this is a yellow curry with the typical sweetness of vietnamese and thai curries, works well in the sandwich, especially with extra soy sauce and cilantro.

good food, interesting flavors and tastes here. they sometimes offer a sardine sandwich, and i bet this would be super with extra cilantro and extra onions. excellent value here, as well - and these are nice people here.

ate the #20 veggie sandwich "all the ways" and had lots of flavor and spice. goodsandwichesif you're looking for something different and cheap. the owner is wonderful as well.

not sure how it received these amazing reviews. food is okay nothing out of this world to grant 4 or 5 stars. dessert was probably the best just be open to trying new things. that said i've had my fair share of vietnamesesandwichesand i couldn't say these were in my top. prices though will keep me swinging by when i need a fast, cheap, decent sandwich.

outstanding and addictive! tastiestsandwichesin greensboro, hands down. they melt in your mouth and leave you wanting more.

classic bahn mi. classic banh misandwichesserved on toasted french bread. always a stop for me whenever

delicious banh mi. thesesandwichesare delicious! i love the barbecue beef the best! i think it is #4 on the menu. the chicken sandwich (#2?) is also great!sandwichesare about 10 inches long and this place has fast service.

this place is really amazing. $3.00 to $4.00sandwicheson toasted french bread with popular vietnamese toppings and flavors. pick your protein (everything from pate to chicken and vietnamese ham) and then top it with various pickles (carrot, daikon), cucumbers, lettuce and a spicy mayo. this place is fast, fantastic, cheap and leaves you with no reason to go to subway for your foot long ever again. the chicken is always good or if you like to try new things, you’ll never get anything but the #1 again after you’ve tried it.

whether the result of its downmarket location (beside a high point road pool hall) or the public’s unfamiliarity with its primary product, banh mi saigon is one of greensboro’s best-kept secrets. and were there any risk of this review inspiring a shortage, a secret it would surely remain.

banh mi is a vietnamese catch-all for a variety ofsandwichesserved on baguettes. at banh mi saigon, you can pile on everything from roast pork and ham to beef and meatloaf to vegetarian mock-meat and more. all are made to order and come layered with veggies (watch out for the hidden jalapeno) and amply spread with mayo. no matter which option you pursue, you’re in for a treat. the bread is fresh and the fillings sublimely flavorful. i ordinarily detest liver, but their pork and pate sandwich — #2 on the menu – was a weekly standby all summer long. the bbq pork (#4) and the grilled meatloaf (whiteboard special) are quite habit-forming in their own right. among the non-sandwich offerings, the fresh

so good, so cheap!. i have been in search of an authentic vietnamese sammich ever since getting hooked on them in vancouver during the holidays. positive reviews prompted me to try out this place and i am so happy i did. the bread is baked fresh daily, on-site, and thesandwichesare made to order. the prices are cheap! regular menu is about $3.00 for a sandwich. there are other specials for $3.50+. we will definitely be going to stock up on these yummy sammiches as often as we can.

great flavor, great value. i'm very happy to report another grand dining experience in a strip mall. (many of the best places that i've ever eaten have been in strip malls or other unexpected areas.) s/o to dr. patel for mentioning banh mi saigon in greensboro. (3808 high point road) banh mi are vietnamesesandwichesmade with french baguettes. the baguettes are filled with roasted pork, curried chicken or other beef, pork, chicken and vegetarian "meat" products. on top of your chosen meat, they put on a layer of thinly sliced, pickled diacon radish, cucumber and carrot. and top it off with jalapeños and cilantro. (i just say "no." to cilantro.) we got several different kinds of banh mi and tried some of each. i preferred the roasted pork and curried chicken while my husband liked the bbq beef and roasted pork. at $3.50 per 10 inch sandwich, banh mi saigon has both great flavor and great value. i washed it all down with chrysanthemum tea and had a strawberry bubble tea (imagine the best real strawberry milkshake you've ever had. i didn't, however, enjoy the "bubbles" at the bottom of the cup which had the texture of gummy bears. the flavor was fine. i just don't like the texture of anything gummy.) for dessert. we will definitely be back!!

omfg!!!!. greatsandwichesthat have a very unique taste to it. great french bread works really well with the meats and fresh veggie.

$3~3.50 a sandwich and an authentic family run establishment. if you like food, coming here is a must. stock up ;d

awesome!. as a foodie, i'm on the lookout for delicious local spots that offer something unique and interesting. banh mi saigonsandwichesis just that kind of place.

the folks behind the counter are friendly and happy to see you. today was my first visit, so i went with the standard banh mi. at $3.00, you can't beat it. it was delicious.

the baguette itself is amazing. lightly crisp and flaky on the outside, and soft in the middle. it's packed with fresh cucumber, jalepeno, cilantro, pickled daikon & carrots, vietnamese mayo, and ham. eating it is a sure delight. what's more, when your done you don't feel over-full.

this will be a regular spot for me.
