With the high costs of living in Southern California it's nice to find a place that gives you amazing food and is a great economic deal. K sandwiches is that place. They have lots of American and Vietnamese sandwich options for under $8. They also have various freshly made pastries and baguettes. You can get a large bags of baguette ends for $1.50!!! There are also spring rolls, rice plates, drinks and snacks. They get you through the line quickly and our food got to us quickly. There is plenty of seating inside and a decent sized parking lot with additional food options.

Meh. Was excited to check this place out because I'm a huge banh mi fiend. Maybe coming from San Jose set the bar too high. It definitely is the most popular banh mi joint in the area and it was super packed when I came (Sunday lunch time). I waited about 10 min for my sandwich, so nothing too bad. I also got the shrimp spring rolls, pandan honeycomb cake and viet coffee. Sandwich: I got the cha lua pate sandwich. The cha was fine, pate had a weird taste and it was missing cucumbers like other banh mis. The only thing adding taste to it was the pickled carrots and daikon, which were ok. Spring rolls: also just ok, shrimp tasted a bit old so that was off putting. Pandan honeycomb cake (banh bo nuong): was disappointed as I thought they made these fresh daily and I got the last one so was excited to try it but it was so dry and stale I didn't even finish 1/4 of it. Coffee: fine, no complaints.

I was in the area and wanted to get banh mi. I've been on the search for "the best," and this wasn't it. The search continues...This banh mi was decent. I felt like it could've used more meat in it. Ordering was quick and the person taking my order was respectful. Plenty of seating and I decided to sit outside to enjoy the nice SD afternoon.

My mom and I came here for a quick lunch. I had been here many years ago and I still remember how good the sandwiches were the first time I came here. #9 Grilled Pork (Thit Nuong): 5 stars! OMG. delicious marinated pork, fresh veggies all on a delicious bun! (My mom picked the jalapeno slices out). I would order this dish again and again. Service: 5 stars. walk in, stand in the queue and order at the register. The food comes out fast, and there are some items one can order that are pre-made such as egg rolls and wraps. This place is not fancy. There's a little grab n' go section for beverages, and a few seats to sit and eat. I look forward to coming back for another delicious sandwich!

This is a little kitchen + grab and go place that is perfect if you are on a crunch for a fresh sandwich and lunch. The sandwiches are priced well (average was under $10) and the ingredients were fresh! They offered some Asian styled snacks and desserts, an array of drinks and banh mi options, and a general selection of soft drinks and American snacks. The vibes give that you get your sandwich and eat it inside the car or elsewhere; hence the grab and go style. The sandwich itself was awesome for a quick lunch, and I could save half of it and eat it later :D The coffee also tasted great, but was definitely not filled all the way, which I wish it were personally. Service is general and pretty standard in the interactions, nothing crazy!In general, I would definitely come back and try some of the other options they have~

I've been coming here for a decade! Love everything about K Sandwiches. My favorite is the #9 Grilled Pork. There's a variety of fresh pastries and French bread, desserts, drinks and a small store. You can also find hot meals like curry. Look for their daily specials. There's a couple of kiosks but service is usually quick. It's been six years since the grand reopening and remodel and still looks great and modern. Ample parking. Check the hours because they close at 6pm!!!

The service was alright, popping out food quick but not the drinks.The tables & seats weren't clean, the table I waited at had crumbs on it including the chairs.The sandwich overall was just like any other basic sandwich but what really got me was that there was no flavor. not really seeing the hype for this place - I ordered the Turkey & cheese on a baguette ( 8.59) - Green apple slushy (6.25) this was pretty good! They just forgot my drink with the order so I needed to wait extra for that

Hands down best bahn mi around. I'm so lucky it's close by! I usually get the roast beef bahn mi and a pineapple slushee with boba! Also check out the cafe and grab a baguette or croissant on your way out!

Definitely a clean and newer looking space. The kiosks were helpful for me as a newcomer, allowing me to explore my options without holding up the main line. I didn't make any changes to my sandwich but am glad I can add some extra jalapeños at no extra cost. The only downside was that I had to buy the sticky rice separately as the kiosks are reserved for those ordering sandwiches and drinks (possibly more). I was delighted to see the selection of baked goods including ham and cheese croissants and fresh baguettes for sale. The mound of loose cans of soda and other prepackaged drinks was a little confusing but understandable - sometimes storage is tough to manage. Was bustling when I went. Tried studying/reading but it was a bit loud due to the sheer number of people in the establishment. Not a problem. My spread of food - banh mi, sticky rice, and Thai green tea - was immaculate. So delicious. Will be back for more.

One of my favorite places to visit for a quick Vietnamese lunch. They have banh mi sandwiches with many flavors/meat choices to choose from. I loved that they have meat pies, sesame balls, three bean desserts, etc. There's a small market section where you can find Vietnamese snacks, drinks and pastries. The price was reasonable and the service was quick. There are limited indoor seating by the window and some patio seats available.
