My first time at this supermarket to try their hot food section and I was very disappointed. I bought 4 items to try.
First item is the VN chicken sandwich. Mind you the place states "Vietnamese" sandwich so my expectation is pate and butter spread. Nope, I saw creamy white spread! You guessed it..mayo. yuck! The cha (chicken bologna) wasn't ground into a smooth consistency either. Bread was not toasted, meat was cold from the fridge and lacked more sprigs of cilantro. If you want to eat a cold American sandwich then be my guess. For $3.95, you are better off heading to Stockton Blvd for an authentic Vietnamese sandwich.
Second item I tried, egg custard buns. The package contains 5. There's more dough than filling and the filling has no egg flavor which tells you they added fillers to dilute the eggs. So basically you're tasting flour and granulated sugar.
Third item was the spring rolls. They only have the steam shrimp kind and was in the process of rolling the BBQ pork and steam shrimp rolls. When I inquired if they offer the traditional steam lean pork meat, the lady said yes but there's nothing available for purchase at 10am. The rolls were not tightly bound so when you dip into the sauce, the rice noodles drop into the sauce container. Also the sauce had no chopped peanuts.
Fourth item I tried was the steam chicken veggie bao. There's 2 in the package and looks to be a decent size. Again very very doughy. The filling on this was good but you'll have to bite almost halfway to reach the filling. Hopefully they will make adjustments to add more fillings in the future.
I didn't try their rice combo plates with BBQ pork or roast duck so that maybe their specialities than...
Read moreI ordered from door dash. The order got here very quickly. Unfortunately the noodles, chicken and veggies were cold. That’s no big deal as it’s delivery so you kind of expect to have to nook items. But the chicken was old, undercooked and had a lot of fatty skin on it. The veggies were cold and yet they were wilted. (Not fresh, but old). The cilantro was old and brown, literally brown spots on it! I wish google had the ability to upload pics! The bad thing for me is I’m at work. So I can’t take the food back and ask for a refund! I did call but got the run around and a lot of excuses! The reviews are Mainly for sandwiches. Perhaps I shouldn’t have ordered the PHO soup! Super upset, stuck at work & hungry! Now what? Do I order food from somewhere else! Perhaps the health department needs...

This is the second time I come to the SF Vietnamese Sandwich to order a drink/food. And this is the second time we get our order last before the people behind us.
I can't help to think that they give priority to their own people since my fiance and I are not Asian. And coincidentally, the people behind us who order the same thing we do, always get their order first and are always Asian.
It was frustrating waiting 25 minutes today for only 2 smoothies, and of course being the last served. Customers are customers, and unfortunately I won't be going back to get food from their restaurant section.
Aside from the service, the drinks were delicious and the...
