Dakao Sandwiches II — Restaurant in Milpitas

CASH ONLY.

Cafeteria style with only a few tables but very nice owners and pretty good food! We had the 3ct shrimp & pork springrolls w.sweet peanut sauce, Pho #131 (eye of round steak, fat brisket & tripe) & #71 Crispy Egg Noodles w.seafood.

Shrimp & pork springrolls were very fresh, tasty, and quite filling all on its own! Nice and w.the perfect amount of chew. Sorry, no pic, we were hungry and ate it before I could take a pic of it. They're in to-go containers next to the register.

Pho were clean tasting, real bone broth though not as thick as Pho 54 (our favorite pho place), portion was just right, would enjoy again any time.

Crispy egg noodles w.seafood, the noodles were tasty but quite greasy (very normal as they're fried), sauce was a little salty but still tasty, and the dish could use more seafood, you get about 5 shrimp, a few seafood cake balls, a few slivered rounds of squid and that's about it. The crunchy veggies were very good in and gave some much needed freshness to the dish.

Their menu is extensive and they are known for their bahn mi sandwiches (who goes to Lee's Sandwiches anymore?) so we'll have to try those.

Thank you to the beautiful Taiwanese girl (her first time there too!) who gave mom one of the bagged fried ice cream cone looking desserts to try when mom asked her if it was good, that was super sweet of her!!!

Oh, and if by chance you play the lottery you can buy them here along w.a vending scratch off lottos as well, sort of a...

Dakao #1 had been my favorite banh mi spot (for my whole life, 30+ years, from SJ) but since it closed down I make the extra 15-20 minute drive to come here. The sandwiches are the best, other food is good but space is a little bit small to allow space for indoor dining. Prices are fair, great value that keeps me coming back.

I wish there was actually more room for desserts and snacks (which is fairly common for banh mi shops, I would spend a lot more money here). There isn't music blasting etc which is cool but then it's almost too quiet and a little awkward sometimes if you're standing there waiting for a sandwich and there are people eating pho and watching you (bc not really a TV to watch instead lol).

Service is fine and everyone I've talked to there is nice. Food is exceptional, one of my super favorites...

The best bahn mi ever. This is one of the few restaurants that sell grilled beef bahn mi . Absolutely delicious!!! Their tofu bahn mi is also high on my list!!!

Not only does this restaurant make bahn mi, but they offer hot entrees, like noodle soup and rice dishes. The eggrolls are delicious. There is seating for about 20 people. Canned drinks and juices are available, as Are freshly made smoothies and boba tea.. Oh yeah, and the prices for the bahn mi are incredible. $6.00- $7.50 depending on what you order. Service is fast.. atmosphere - okay. More like a hole- in- the - wall restaurant, but a memorable hole- in -...
