Khang Vietnamese Sandwich Cafe

I decided to give this place a try after seeing it on Alison Cook's Top 100 list and as a farewell meal for my grandma before she flew home. She is vegetarian and I am used to Vietnamese restaurants having good vegetarian options. Unfortunately, Khang's really only had egg options since they ran out of tofu. This restaurant is primarily and first most a banh mi restaurant. There are miscellaneous extras on the menu but do not come here thinking there is extra fried rice on the menu. The cashier was very kind to me while dining here. I ordered the grilled chicken banh mi and the egg banh mi. I was hoping to order a tofu banh mi but the cashier explained that they ran out of tofu. I was also hoping to order normal boba for my Vietnamese coffee but the cashier also explained that they ran out of normal boba. All in all, our banh mi was good. The veggies were lightly pickled and the bun was soft with a crust, just like it should be. My grilled chicken had a good flavor and it tasted freshly cooked instead of being a reheated leftover. Tons of easy parking, area felt safe while I was there for lunch, outdoor and indoor seating, and fast service. Ambiance was quick counter service. This wouldn't be a romantic date spot. Pretty dated feeling and not sparkling clean - just clean enough. Feels very family run. Khang's is not close to where I usually am in Houston nor is it dramatically better than my other two favorite banh mi places (Banh mi N more/Kims *my heart* ) so I will probably not be back. However, if you live in this area or are close by, it is worth buying an affordable banh mi to eat then or later. I bought 3 sandwiches and 1 coffee for $20 - can't beat it. My grandma loved her egg sandwiches, I'm just knocking the star because running out of tofu and normal boba is annoying & the portion size of the coffee was surprisingly small due to the overload of ice.

This place is definitely out of the way, but we decided to drive an extra 15 minutes due to great reviews. It was very empty on a Wed noon but the parking lot was full of cars. They offer buy 5 get 1 free, so we got qty 1 combo, qty 2 bbq pork, qty 1 grilled beef, qty 2 meatballs. We told the man behind the register that we wanted the veggies separated with no cilantro and jalapeños. Guess what? We forgot to check before leaving and got qty 2 combo instead where the grilled beef was missing. Also, we got tons of cilantros and jalapeños.See, people need to take food allergies seriously. I told the cashier that I'm allergic to cilantros and so no cilantro. But he either didn't understand or didn't care. I was so upset that the beef was missing and also brought the whole bag of cilantros home. The bread itself was light with good amount of protein. I wish they would give more carrots and cucumbers. Also if you use credit card, they charge a service fee without telling you.

This is not a dinner place... they close early 6:30pm. Staff was friendly but started to get anxious close to 6:30pm. I had a beef banh mi... a little stingy with the meat... where is the meat. The bread was nice.Dinning room is small I am guessing they have a good lunch crowd.

Decided to check this spot out to grab some Vietnamese sandwiches Togo. I ordered the roasted pork Banh Mi, grilled pork Banh Mi, and the Special Combo Banh Mi (with veggies on the side for later). Ordering was simple and easy, and staff was very kind. Roasted Pork Banh Mi 3.5/5 - it was good but when I think of roasted pork, I think of that nice crunch from the crispy skin. I would have liked to see that here but overall a solid Banh Mi with plenty of meats and generous veggies. Grilled Pork Banh Mi 4/5 - this one was for my bf. His feedback was that he enjoyed it and would eat it again, which is saying something bc he is quite picky about Banh Mi. His only complaint was that the Banh Mi is a little smaller in length compared to our usual spot, but I also feel like they give more meat here which evens it out. Special Combo Banh Mi 4/5 - I had this the next day for lunch. Reheated and adding the veggies on the side - it was still very fresh and yummy. I enjoyed this and would get it again over the roasted pork Banh Mi. Overall this spot is a little more convenient for me as it's closer to home and the Banh Mi are pretty good in my opinion. I'll definitely be returning in the future and will put them in the rotation with my usual go to spot.

Pretty good Vietnamese banh mi's here. It's a small family pended business so I'd love to support them. You can never go wrong with Vietnamese coffee. I'd asked for less ice for you to get more coffee in the cup. My favorite would be the special banh mi or pork with extra pate and butter

No one in line on a Saturday afternoon, but the place should have been packed. The banh mi was the best I have ever had, and it is cheap too. I will definitely be making more trips to this place soon.

This might be my new favorite banh mi spot. Bread is smaller than my benchmark Don Cafe but there is definitely more meat and moisture in size proportionally. Bread is crunchy and fresh too!If you want the cold cut special at Don, you have to get the number 8, not the combo!

Ate a Banh Mi today as a late lunch, had their #2, barbeque pork sandwich. I enjoyed the bread, but the fillings were very sparse, both in meat and vegetable. At $6.00 each, I think that's high for a small sandwich.To stay successful in this business, Mr and Mrs. Khang have to add more meat to justify their pricing. I live very close to this location and wants this mom & pop operation to succeed.

Khang is a kitchen magician, turning regular ingredients into delicious adventures with his amazing cooking skills.

I was visiting from the East Coast and was looking for a great banh mi...out of the few places I tried in houston... this place was the best. Bread was nice and toasty and fresh. Meat filled with veggies. If I'm ever in the area again... I will definitely stop in. Didn't get a chance to try any beverages, so there's nothing to say about that..The seating area is available if you're eating in, but my orders were to go. Simple and casual sandwich shop. Solid 4 stars out of 5.
