I was in the area and wanted to grab something that would be quick and easy to eat, so I found Saigon Bakery and Sandwiches on Yelp. The bakery's adjacent to a shopping plaza with a big parking lot, so I parked my car there and walked over. The bakery's on the smaller side and there's no seating, but there was a line out-the-door when I visited at 1pm on a Sunday. The staff work quickly, but keep in mind that there may be some items that require more cook or prep time such as the bánh mì heo quay.
I got the bánh mì heo quay, which was loaded with pork. I wished the pork was more crispy, but it was still good and hot as it was made-to-order. The baguette was crisp and not too dense, and had a thin layer of spread. The veggies were typical, but fresh and light. I thought there was a good ratio of baguette to pork, but I also wished there was a bit more veggies because it was pork-heavy sandwich.
Also, when I paid for my order, I asked for veggies on the side (so I can add to the sandwich later) and the staff member said they could do that. However, they put veggies inside the sandwich in the end and I didn't realize it until I was far away from the shop. It could've been a mistake, especially with the lunch rush, but it was a little annoying that it happened. They do have a sign at the register, reminding customers to check their order when they receive it before leaving the shop, so that was my oversight. But you'd assume that after asking the staff earlier, it'd be ok, right?
Overall, my 1st experience at Saigon Bakery and Sandwiches was good, despite the veggies not being separated. It's hard to mess up bánh mì, so I may return in the future, but know there are other options in the surrounding area.
