Dakao Sandwiches II

Been here for many years since the early 2000s although the price has changed the quality has mostly remained the same. The bbq beef banh mi is heavenly although a bit skimpy on the meat the sauce also is out of the world that doesn’t compare to other Vietnamese sandwich shops. The rice and noodle dishes are good for the portion. This is a family owned business so it is cash only . Plenty of side dishes or snacks to choose from at the counter

Ordered spring rolls for a party and they were fantastic! I ordered in the morning and picked up at the desired time. Will definitely return!

delicious banh mi with very nice staff! get the combination, you won’t regret it

Read the favorable reviews and checked it out at my next opportunity. Got the #14 grilled pork banh mi, no mayo, and added some sriracha sauce from the table area. $5.50 cash. The sandwich was amazingly delicious, albeit a small 6 incher. No problem though, I finished it and ordered another one - same thing. Interior could be tidied up, but it is what it is. A delectable hole-in-the-wall. Highly recommend!

Dakao #1 had been my favorite banh mi spot (for my whole life, 30+ years, from SJ) but since it closed down I make the extra 15-20 minute drive to come here. The sandwiches are the best, other food is good but space is a little bit small to allow space for indoor dining. Prices are fair, great value that keeps me coming back. I wish there was actually more room for desserts and snacks (which is fairly common for banh mi shops, I would spend a lot more money here). There isn't music blasting etc which is cool but then it's almost too quiet and a little awkward sometimes if you're standing there waiting for a sandwich and there are people eating pho and watching you (bc not really a TV to watch instead lol). Service is fine and everyone I've talked to there is nice. Food is exceptional, one of my super favorites for banh mi! Vegetarian options: Cha Lua chay is available here and it's delicious

Very nice sandwiches with light and crispy bread! If you’re vegetarian or vegan, there is a tofu option. They’re cheap, so be sure to grab an extra one to snack on later. And they accept Venmo payments in addition to cash, too.

My new favorite banh mi shop. I'm a bit miffed that the banh mis don't automatically include pate, but the flavor is still phenomenal.
