Linh’s Sandwich

Dead as a doornail. Alas poor banh mi, we knew ye well.

I would’ve given them more stars, if they stayed open until their «closing time». I’ve been there at least five times when they were closed about half an hour before they were supposed to. The sandwiches are really good though, as long as one of the ladies makes it. The fella (when he’s there) doesn’t make the sandwiches as deliciously. Maybe he’s behind the early closings. I should find out and let you know.

The sandwiches is decent. The first time I went there, there sandwich was pretty good, but the 2^nd time I went there, it was alright. The bread is nicely toasted, but the lady does not seem to put a lot of items in there. She is also a bit slow since she is the only one making the sandwiches. The price seems a bit high for this tiny place.
Hope to find another Vietnamese sandwich place soon.

This is inside Marina Food, was previously the Japanese sushi counter.
Must admit we were excited to see this place, Vietnamese sandwiches in San Mateo! I was thrilled to see they have bun bo hue BUT apparently they are not allowed to sell it so they’ll be changing their menu soon.
There are 6 different type of sandwiches — combo, ham, bbq chicken, bbq pork, egg and grilled pork. All at $ 2.50 each! We tried the combo, bbq chicken and grilled pork — my favorite is still the combo but others were pretty good too. The sandwiches are made to order so it takes a little while… as is the iced coffee, it was strong and tasty! You can get any sandwich with a coffee for $ 4.50.
We also got a package of shrimp spring rolls at $ 2.50 and a shrimp lotus root salad for $ 3.99.
They also have the coconut (green colored) waffle for $ 1.
It may not be the best BUT can’t beat the convenience and price… we will return. For those who work around the area, this is a great lunch option!
