Dakao Sandwiches

Been here many times but I guess I have not written a review about it (I thought I did, lol). Well, here is my overdue review of this little shop:It has been about 2 yrs since I was last here. Not because it wasn't good but I had to change my diet for a while for health reasons. Anyway, now that I can eat "normally" again and not have to watch my diet, I was craving banh mi and thought I'd come here for lunch. Here are my thoughts:1. The sandwiches are still reasonably priced and not outrageously expensive like $10. It is $6.50 for 1 (rounding up). (I sure miss the old days when you can get them for as low as $3.50 lol) 2. the sandwiches are still good but they changed their bread. I was disappointed at first that it wasn't the little fat baguettes like a typical banh mi but more like Lee's type of shape which is narrow and long. BUT I was happy again once I bit into the crunchy bread. The shape may have changed but crunch and ratio of crust the bread (aka the middle part) is solidly portioned perfect. 3. The flavors are still there, still delicious as I remembered! PLUS, I love that they didn't put so much pate or mayo to make it mushy. It had the usual banh mi gooodness but not overly done with the wet ingredients (mayo and pate). You can taste the headcheese and the typical banh mi cold cuts, the pickled daikon and carrots, cilantro and slices of jalapeño. Every bite was delicious (we got the Dac Biet, which is #1 on the menu)4. They added some more side items in the display glass next to the counter. I remember that from before but it seems they added more items. We didnt want to go crazy cuz we wanted to save the space for the sandwiches so we got the sesame balls (one of the best we have had!) and the baked pandan cake which I love and it was good. As far as the wait: We placed our orders and it took, maybe, 5 minutes. We got lucky with the timing cuz there were 2 large orders in front of us (5 and 10 sandwiches!) and outs came out very quickly. We came on a Sunday around 12:30-ish.I wish they have 2 things though:1. Xa xiu pork cuz I love it (I think they used to)2. They used to give you a free one if you order 4 or 5. I didn't see any signs that advertised that now. Overall, solid banh mi, delicious flavors, I will return again soon!

So far we've only tried Dan Han and Dakao. Out of the 2, Dakao is slightly better. The bread is still dry, but it's ok if you don't toast it. Once you retoast it, it crumbles apart. I wouldn't go out of my way to go here or buy banh mi from here, but if someone gave it to me for free (which my nail girl did), I wouldn't not eat it.

Best bahn mi in Vegas! My go to is a grilled pork bahn mi with pate and a Vietnamese coffee! Their Vietnamese coffee is so strong! Don't have doubts when you see how little it may look in the cup full of ice because it is STRONG!Inside, there is a fridge full of drinks and desserts and a front display case full of Vietnamese food and treats! There are about 3 tables inside, it's definitely more of a spot to just get your sandwich to go. You know it's legit when all the OGs are there. Definitely a must go to when craving a bahn mi!!

My favorite banh mi joint in LV! The banh mi is so light and crispy, and the price is just right- pay in cash for discount. Small little place with banh mi and some hot food offerings. The old man at the cashier is so funny, making the experience easy going and quick. Banh mi dac biet and banh mi thit nuong is my go to!! Highly recommended

Got some sandwiches from here to enjoy at CES as our usual annual tradition. I come for sandwiches occasionally and never had any issues until this day. The sandwich was skimpy, barely any ingredients compared to usual. The bread was flat but soft. As soon as I took the bite I tasted the horrible bitterness and spit it out. I examined the sandwich the radish was bad and you can clearly see it's gone bad because it's turned almost translucent and dark. See photos. We purchased 6 sandwiches and they were all the same. Unfortunately our group won't be returning anymore.

This is an unabashed hole-in-the-wall and you should definitely check it out. Probably the best banh mi in Vegas, and it's only $6 47 a sandwich (as of this review). They also offer a free sandwich if you buy 5, but it's not advertised. The banh mi has a good amount of meat, decent amount of veg, and tender yet crunchy bread. I recommend asking for extra veg, but it's still good with the regular amount. The banh Bao is also good, but pricey at $5 for one, same goes for the fresh spring rolls. They have a coconut desert that has coconut water, cream, and meat that's worth trying too.

Right down the street from the "famous" sandwich shop, you'll find Dakao tucked in the corner of a strip mall.This little spot is no frills, but will save some bill$ when compared with others. Made to order, with a revolving door of patrons these sandos are fresh & tasty without fail. Dakao offers fast service, mostly takeout due to interior size. *fresh bread available!*locals favorite.

Easy parking within a shopping plaza We came out early in the morning and it was pretty packed with customers going in and out. Clean ambience packed with tons of food and dessert selections within their showcase and refrigerator.This review is solely based on the Banh Mi sandwich as I have yet to try their full selection of foodsRating 3/5 lots of bread and a little meat and veggies inside. I would go to Saigon BaguetteOver this spot strictly for Banh Mi sandwiches

My friend and I were looking for banh mi that had crispy bread and this one was great. Got two special combinations, as well as other things in their deli (sweetened rice cakes, rice noodles and pork meat loaf. Much better than other banh mi's

Me and my bf decided to try out a new banh mi place, and this place did not disappoint. Probably the best tasting baguette from any of the other banh mi joints i've tried in Vegas, it's crunchy but doesn't hurt the top roof of your mouth and super airy/chewy on the inside. I love my banh mi's with a lot of pate and viet butter/mayo, and in my opinion they were pretty generous for my order. The only complaint I have is that the sandwiches could use more pickled veggies and cilantro. Service was quick, the aunties up front weren't rude at all. Lots of parking in this plaza but it does get filled up pretty quick. I will always compare the taste and price of banh mi's from OC but this spot has made my top 3 when I am craving a good banh mi. The price point averaging around $6.50 per sandwich, which you honestly cant beat for Vegas pricing and the amount you get.
