Saigon Cali Hot Bakery

I didn't stop by my usual banh mi place and I remember about this location. It's been a LONG time (like 10 years) since I swung by and it's change alot. I was extremely turned off by seeing the maker put meat in a bowl and then putting it in the microwave. LOL. not so much that I picked up and left, but i was a little stunned it was so obvious :) the sandwich was good. tasted fine. My complaint is with the coffee I bought and it's cost. The Sandwich price was $4.95. that's fine! normal. I grabbed a coffee in the frig thinking it would be great. No prices there. My fault. I should have asked. how much could it be? my final bill was $14.79. YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THIS TINY COFFEE WAS THAT EXPENSIVE? Do you see how small it is? It's not tiny, but it's not a venti drink from starbucks! it's smaller than my sandwich! There was also a sign on the register that said they would charge a CC fee for anything under $5. no. they charge it for any amount apparently b/c i was charged the CC fee when she saw me grabbing my card. I know things costs money and I know times are hard blah blah blah. but that was SNEAKY. she pushed that button right when she saw my CC and i didn't have the energy to argue so I paid it. I won't be going back...that's for sure.

Saigon Cali used to be my go to place for banh mi, but now it's become inconsistent when it comes to making it. I noticed that the old Asian guy with a mustache that makes the banh mi doesn't make it well. I've included the photo. Literally he is too lazy to spread the butter/mayo, and is not generous with the filling. Very upsetting to see that their employees are not consistent in making something that is popular amongst the masses.

umm...my first time trying this place. I got a coffee w cream & salt and a banh mi. The man putting the sandwiches together started COUGHING omg..for a long time. just coughing and he was not wearing any mouth covering. Im like..sheeettt....what do i do...don't wanna be a Karen up in here. So i didn't say anything. everyone there was also quiet. line starting to form behind me..ummm...I hear a little mucus in his cough. Thankfully he stopped before he got to my sandwhich. But STILL...i don't see any gloves on him either. My God. So then i finally got my order and the coffee was good. not bad. The banh mi...I tried a small bite of the bread, too soft for my liking. I looked at the meat inside...not appetizing at all. it was red and not even warm...and with the whole coughing thing...i'm done. i threw it away. Sorry, i wanted to support a hole in wall kinda place, but mannnn....

Best banh mi ever. The only thing I can say negative about this place is that there is not one in FTW so I have to drive so far to come here, but all of the other places in FTW can't compare. PLEASE OPEN A SAIGON CALI IN FTW!!!! loooooove

Stopped here on a whim while heading to work on a Sunday morning and grabbed a special combination and bbq pork Banh mi. I've gotta say the combination is one of the best I've ever had. Bread exterior is crispy but not hard and the interior is soft and chewy. The meats were all delicious and the butter and pate complemented everything. I live near white rock and will make the drive again just for their Banh mi.

So... I should have gotten a pic of my sandwich. By the time it occurred to me, I had inhaled half of it. Absolutely the best bread for Banh Mi I have ever eaten! Perfect texture. I saw several people taking bread to go, and now I totally understand why.I took Stefani's recommendation and went with the #1, all the way. Well, that was my intent, but as I got a couple of bites in, I quickly discovered that it had no fresh jalapeno on it. Sort of a major 'party-foul' in my book, so I will have to hold back a fifth star. But otherwise - wow. Can't wait to go back for another.

Nice little place. The banh mi here are cheaper than everywhere else. I think they specialize in roasted leg quarters or something because they sell a ton of it here. The banh mi them self doesn't look like the traditional banh mi you think of. They are however pretty decent and you can't beat a 2.50$ for a chicken banh mi. For a bakery they really don't have a lot of variety. They pretty much sell banh mi, chicken and maybe 2-3 other items. Overall, the staff are nice and the food is good. That's all it matters.

Hôm nay chồng mình ghé Mua bánh mì hết bánh mì họ lấy đại bánh mì gì mà mềm 4 $ xíu mại gì thấy ghê quá không ghé Mua bánh mì ở đó nữa đâu trước đó Mua bánh mì giòn hôm nay chồng mình Mua bánh mì xíu mại thấy ghê quá luôn có gọi điện nói cho biết không ghé Mua bánh mì ở đó nữa đâu

One of the worst banh mi I have ever had. I have had plenty!I am not sure if they are normally bad or the guy making the sandwiches was just plain lazy. Ordered 5 grilled porks that had very sparse meat and even more sparse veggies. For 5 sandwhiches, think there was equivalent to half sandwich worth of veggies that you would normally get anyplace else. They definitely do not deserve the ratings they had in the past.

I ordered a cup of coffee frappe with boba and jelly, I found a big junk of hard frozen boba inside, shake my head just shake my head, should have told me they are out of boba instead of selling me something they know is not edible.
