Will I Return?: Absolutely! I'm already planning...

𝑷𝒓𝒊𝒄𝒆 𝒑𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒕: $ (~$20 per sandwich)

𝑪𝒖𝒊𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒆: Halal sandwich

-𝑨𝒎𝒃𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆: The interior is small, cute and clean. Perfect for small gathering.

𝑭𝒐𝒐𝒅 𝒓𝒆𝒗𝒊𝒆𝒘: The sandwiches are huge and loaded with meat, can be easily shared by 2 people

𝐊𝐞𝐬𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐲𝐚 𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐧 𝐬𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐰𝐢𝐜𝐡 with dutch crunch bread: So delicious and filling! The crunch on the bread went perfectly well with the juicy and flavor-packed chicken. Not too cheesy (which is perfect for me) but loaded with fresh ingredients! (10/10).

𝐌𝐚𝐦𝐚 𝐦𝐢𝐚 𝐬𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐰𝐢𝐜𝐡 with dutch crunch bread: This was again a big sandwich loaded with flavors, the smoked chicken was a bit dry compared to the chicken chunks in Kesariya but overall the taste was great! (9/10)

𝐕𝐢𝐞𝐭𝐧𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐞: For all coffee lovers, give this a try, I promise you won’t regret it! Six shots of expresso, the coffee was strong and again not overly sweet as most Vietnamese coffee are in other places! One of my all time favorite coffee (10/10)

𝐑𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐈𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞: This was a bit sweet and rose flavor overpowered the coffee flavor, so good for those who like their coffee mild (8.5/10).

𝐂𝐡𝐨𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐬 𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐬: This reminded me of a Bengali (Indian) sweet very popular in our area called Chamcham. It was more like a milk cake than a tres leches but delicious and went perfectly with the strong Vietnamese coffees (9.5/10)

They have so many other sandwiches which we would love to try next time! The price might seem a bit high at first, but given the quantity I would easily consider each sandwich as 2.

Definitely give them a try if you are local!

⭐️⭐️⭐️OF COURSE, WE WILL BE BACK TO TRY THE OTHER SANDWICHES (Overall, 10/10)!

🤩🤩🤩Recommended for: Huge portions, delicious halal sandwiches, great drinks!

👍👍👍 Highly recommend: Kesariya Sandwich and...

Oakmont Sandwiches is a lovely halal sandwich place and although I normally don't leave reviews, I felt as though this place definitely deserved one. Pros: I have come here with my friends a couple times and both times were lovely. The owner of the store is extremely sweet and affable. The store is pretty clean and appears to be operating out of what used to be a subway. So far I have tried the 1. "Hot Shot", the 4. "Salam Bhai", and the 5. "Kesariya". My favorite out of the three is the Salam Bhai as its both very refreshing with the veggies and also has a nice kick to it from the sauce (I believe it has the sweet chili sauce). In my first visit, the store was empty and we were looking for a place to pray so the owner allowed us to just pray in the store. In my last visit, the owner offered us freshly baked cookies which was very nice of him. The bathroom is also very clean and has a bidet as well. Price was honestly pretty standard for the Bay Area, I believe the Salam Bhai was $12.99 which is honestly pretty good in my opinion, especially considering that it's halal and a well sized sandwich.

Cons: So far the only con I see with this establishment and this is subject to change, is that service is kind of slow or at least slow compared to other sandwich shops. I believe this is only the case because it is a new shop (or at least new management) and because it might be a little understaffed. Hopefully this changes.

Overall I would definitely recommend giving this place a try if you are...
