Duc Huong Sandwiches is the go-to spot for the best banh mi sandwiches in San Jose. This location is tucked away in a plaza, this place is a gem that truly stands out. There's no seating available since it's meant for takeout, but that's part of the charm--grab your food and enjoy it wherever you like. The sandwiches are amazing, hands down the best Vietnamese banh mi you'll find. They're fantastic when warm and still delicious when cold, making them perfect for any time of day. This spot is consistently busy, with a line often stretching out the door, so be prepared to wait roughly 15-20 minutes depending on how much you order. The wait is well worth it, though! Highly recommend taking advantage of their deal: buy four sandwiches, and you get one free! It's perfect if you want to enjoy one every day of the week. Duc Huong Sandwiches is truly a staple of the area and a must-visit for any banh mi lovers!

The smell of garlic bread and freshness in the store was amazing this was one of the best sandwiches I've ever eaten glad I said me mayonnaise the veggies were crispy and fresh I will be Back

My go to spot for Vietnamese sandwich! I usually get the "dac biet" special sandwich that has the Vietnamese cold cuts. Adding garlic bread is also a nice add on. The bread is warm, soft, and has a good crispy outer layer. The sandwich is always filled with meat with a good amount of butter and pate. They are usually busy but you order in the store and pick up outside from the small window they have. The have a buy 4 get 1 free large sandwiches which is perfect for friends and family.

One of the best bánh mì. It's my personal favorite. Always consistent. Oh and get Viet coffee here. It's the absolute best in town, way better than any other Viet coffee shop.

Mi favorito of the Duc Huong locations. Why? There's more parting available here. The line isn't as long. The food is still delicious. There are other convenient stores nearby. I like the grilled pork and grilled chicken bahn mi the most. Made on individual soft baguette bread. A good amount of veggies and a nice spicy flavor from the sliced jalapeños.

I've tried Banh Mi in other places and it wasn't the best. I guess that's why I don't go out of my way to eat it. My co-worker told me about this place and I'm so glad she did! I came here a few times in a month since I first tried it! I came in early morning after my morning run and it's always packed but the service is pretty fast, everything is organized and the employees are very nice. You can also call ahead of time so you can just pick it up when you get there if you don't like waiting and they have a dedicated line for pick up. I ordered the #10 and #7 and both exceeded my expectations. The bread is fresh and crunchy, the veggies are well seasoned and meat is freshly cooked and the serving is perfect! It's worth a 15-20 min wait in my opinion. You can also ask to put your veggies on the side so you're able to reheat your bread. This is my go-to Banh Mi fix from now on!

I can't believe I haven't reviewed this spot yet! Solid 5/5--hands down the best banh mi in the area. We went on a Saturday at 3:30 pm, and there was already a line outside--that alone speaks volumes. The line moves quickly, so don't worry about waiting too long. It's a takeout-only place; you order, and they call your number when your food is ready. We ordered two large grilled pork sandwiches (#1) for $8-$9 each, and wow, they were incredible. We devoured them. Honestly, banh mi seems hard to perfect because I've tried it at other spots, and most just don't get the flavor right. But Duc Huong does. First, the bread is so soft compared to other places. My husband is really picky about bread that's too hard, and while Duc Huong's bread still slightly bothers the inside of his mouth, he'll actually eat their banh mi, which says a lot since he avoids it everywhere else. The sandwich isn't overly sweet, which I love, and it's packed with a generous amount of veggies. Every bite is the perfect balance of bread, pork, and veggies. Duc Huong, please open a location in San Mateo--I'm begging you!!

These are hands down the best banh mi you can get. The bread is bakery fresh and the ingredients are all high quality. The small sandwich is a meal for just about any appetite but if your really hungry, go for the large! If you buy 4 large you get one free, I just wish they had a deal on the small sandwiches as we usually buy 9 of them! The Dac Biet (#2) is awesome! It has 3 different cold cuts as well as pate and all the fixings. I also love the Xa Xiu (#4?) and the #8 is sooo good. Try them all! There ALWAYS a line out the door but it moves pretty quick. Be prepared to spend 15-20 minutes waiting for your order but it's totally worth it!
