Banh Mi House — Restaurant in Sacramento

I recently visited Banh Mi House in Sacramento, a local gem known for its authentic Vietnamese bánh mì. I ordered their #1 Dac Biet, a cold cut combo packed with a variety of meats, including ham, headcheese, and pâté, served on a crisp baguette. The sandwich was a flavor explosion—savory meats balanced perfectly with tangy pickled carrots, daikon, fresh cucumber, cilantro, and a smear of creamy mayo. The bread was toasted just right, with a crunchy exterior and soft interior that held everything together without overpowering the fillings. Its an incredible value for such a generous portion of high-quality ingredients. The service was quick, and the place had a no-frills, authentic vibe that made the experience even better. I also tried the egg rolls at Banh Mi House in Sacramento, and they were a fantastic addition to my meal! These golden beauties were perfectly crispy, even when I took some home and ate them later.

They also serve vegan tofu and a variety of fried rice dishes.

What truly stood out, though, was the gentleman who helped me. He was genuinely kind and welcoming, creating a warm, inviting atmosphere. I hope more people give this place a try—it’s...

I have tried three other very popular banh mi places in this area and I have to admit this is the best.

I usually argue quality over quantity and although the sandwiches here are the largest out of them all, they are still very well made and delicious.

Their banh mi include the usual ingredients but also include cucumbers and are a bit heavier-handed with the mayo/pate. I loved how rich it was and the variety of textures from the meat (in my case, the fish patty) and pickled carrots and radish.

(Their shrimp rolls are half the price of Huong Lan’s shrimp rolls so stock up on those here.)

Like any other store in this area- when visiting, bring cash. Or if you use card, plan to spend over $10 (one sandwich...
