Lynda Sandwich

I was looking for bahn mi, and I literally saw the Lynda Sandwich sign while in the area. A quick glance at Yelp and I figured this was definitely a try. Little did I know some of the history behind the owner, but based on the pictures, it looked super interesting. Walking up to the store, I was surprised to see a Vietnamese motorcycle gang meet-up. Lol, not talking about the Mongols type group, but weekend warrior yuppies who enjoy the motorcycle culture. Anyway, back to the food.Ordered a Lynda special and a chicken bahn mi. I literally sat down for 3 minutes when they called my order. What quick service! I drove home so didn't eat the sandwiches right away. When I finally unwrapped Lynda's sandwich, it was intact, still warm, and the bread was not saggy or over toasted. It was perfect, and all the contents were delicious. The sauce was a nice compliment to the sandwich, and the jalapeño was fresh. I thoroughly enjoyed it. My wife had the chicken, and she claims that the chicken was better tasting than another banh mi dealer (that I shall not name. lol) Anyway, I would definitely return for more here.

Lynda Sandwich is a nice spot to stop by when you want a quick bite. This place is known for its unique interior and popularity attracted by various Vietnamese singers and actors/actresses. Both the Vietnamese coffee and sandwiches are made different from what I'm used to. Personally, I prefer strong and sweet coffee. Lynda's version of the cà phê sữa đá is much lighter and not as sweet. Similarly with the cà phê sữa đá say and salted coffee. If you prefer light Vietnamese coffee, I recommend giving it a try. The sandwiches were pretty solid and just enough for me to eat all by myself in one sitting (Note: it's usually difficult for me to do so in a sitting haha!)Overall, the food and service were great! The cashier was super sweet and really helpful. I definitely recommend giving this place a try if you're around. Hope this helps!

Would have given ZERO but wouldn't be able to post.The online order menu for vegetarian Ban Mi says $5.75, but when you walk in the chalkboard days $7.00 and the young kid says, $7.25.He stays it's an old menu but it appears to be updated December 29, 2024.Stay away....ripoff

We saw this spot on a documentary called New Wave Documentary where Lynda was one of the main stars and her restaurant Lynda Sandwich was highlighted so we decided to stop by when we were in the area!The restaurant is quirky and loungey with different styles of seating set around. Gives that coffee shop vibes. There's a wall adorned with old photos of Lynda throughout her singing career. We ordered the the Lynda Special ($7.25) which is her dac biet banh mi. It is a skinny baguette as well which I don't mind because it's easier to eat while on the go. It was a unique take on 'dac biet' with some cold meat, some shredded meat, and pickled radish, jalapenos, and some cucumbers. I do which they had more plentiful fillings but it was still a good amount. The star of the sandwich was the special mayo they use. It was delicious and brought the whole sandwich together. I basically forgot there wasn't pate in there because that mayo was so delicious.

Best banh mi place in OC. I got shredded chicken, grilled pork and grilled beef banh mi and they were all amazing. The service is quick and friendly. The shop is cute and clean.

The banh mi chay was absolutely delicious! There are many other unique items on the menu that I'm eager to try next time. The black ice coffee was a bit lighter than I expected from a Vietnamese coffee shop. It almost tasted like a donut shop coffee with ice added. While it wasn't bad, I hoped for a darker, stronger flavor.The service was great, the shop was clean, and the food came out quickly.

Based on my last terrible visit few years ago , I decided to give this place another try. And look what I found in my sandwich. PLASTIC WRAPPED and A STRING . WTF ?????. WOW!!!. Such a special ingredient . Please look for yourself and I don't know what to say at this point.

Their special sandwich is pretty good. It has yummy pork floss in it. Their sandwich or baguette is still good even if eaten cold. You can call to order ahead to save pick up time. My daughter likes her sandwich without any veggies They have beignets too that I want to come back and try.

3.3564 starsLynda Sandwich is not the grab and go type of Vietnamese sandwich. Instead, this place feels more like a dine-in situation type of place.I stopped by for a snack and ordered the dặc biệt ~ Lynda Special. It costs around $7 bucks which is the going rate for bánh mì sandwiches these days. It's your standard dặc biệt with all the cold cuts and veggies, but here, they curiously add shredded chicken. While it was a nice surprise, I felt like it didn't add much to the overall taste. I did appreciate the mayo + pâté ratio, but other than that, nothing was quite memorable about the sandwich . Overall, it was a good snack and a break to my bánh mì rolodex.

They offer a solid grilled pork sandwich if you're in the area and craving a sandwich. Will not be back since it does not dethrone my favorite banh mi at THH. Definitely recommend the spot if you're a fan of Lynda Trang Dai. You'll enjoy the decor. Plenty of parking as it is in a large shopping center.
