Valley Sandwiches — Restaurant in Los Angeles

I visited on 07/24/2025. Whenever I crave Banh Mi and have time to pass by, I always go out of my way to go to Valley Sandwiches.

Food: Their Grilled Pork Pate sandwich is always top tier. The sandwich is not stale, and reasonably toasted. The picked radish, and carrots enhances the flavor of the grilled pork and pate. The cilantro, and thinly sliced cucumbers and jalapenos are also a welcome addition. Don't remove the veggies. I ventured out of my regular order and tried their Banh Khot. I have no idea what exactly goes into those mini pancakes, but it probably has rice flour, coconut milk, scalions, and shrimp. They also give you lettuce, mint, and a vinegar sauce to go with the pancake. It was so good. The pancakes was the right amount of crispy at the bottom and the shrimp was not overcooked, and it was not too oily which is a always a good thing.

Service: They ask you what you would like to order, and answer questions about the menu, if any. They are nice people. They have small amount of staff, but they prep food so fast. 😀

Atmosphere: It is currently a take out only place. No seats or tables available for customers. The restaurant is clean.

10/10 would recommend to a friend. I've been here so many times. I really hope they would get so much more...

Had the #10 and the #15. Both were delicious. Photo is the #10, but #15 was my favorite. Service was excellent. I believe the gentleman that served us was the owner. He was friendly and handmade our sandwiches with the utmost care and attention.

Also want to note the ingredients were high quality. I’m not really a fan of the hard bread used for Vietnamese sandwiches, but this was good bread! I was impressed. The owner mentioned the source was a local bakery in Northridge.

Small but clean location isn't ideal for sit down dining in but it's allowed. It seems like most customers are regulars that just swing by to pickup their order.

One of the customers that stopped by when I was there said he’d been coming there for years.

We enjoyed chatting with the owner as we ate.

I look forward to coming back and trying more...

Took me some time to find this place. I was like why this place has 5 stars ?it's impossible for Any food place to have 5 stars in Valley. they usually 2-3 which is actually worse in reality. This place is a f. Miracle. 5 star for cashier's and all the people who work in the kitchen, mad respect. The sandwich I got fresh as f. Nothing is overpriced like others. Bread was crispy oh mama Miya 😻 please keep this quality. I will definitely visit back since I live close by. By the way I don't eat out, can't handle any food out there, but this one was like a home made sandwich. Daaaaamn I'm in love with it...
