Thanh Tam Bakery

We had excellent banh mi here. #2 is awesome if you love chicken liver pate like me. #4 great too BBQ pork. Friendly & sweet service at the counter. Very reasonable prices. Banh mi was 5.50 today full size. If you buy 3 the 4th is free. Good deal. Perfect combo of the meats & condiments/ veggies. Pretty inside but it's mostly a take out place. Couple tables only.

They need to improve their service and manners.1. They offer pre-orders over the phone, but they won't start preparing your order until you arrive. Be attentive when you inform them that you called in advance--they will go to the back, pretending to check on your order, but in reality, they are just informing someone to start preparing it.2. If you're waiting for your order, they won't bring it out immediately after it's ready. Instead, they wait until all other orders are completed and bring them out together.This behavior shows a lack of respect for your time. If you need to go somewhere and wanted to order in advance, I suggest to go there early and order in person. You will be late thinking they will have your order ready.

My favorite Vietnamese sandwich "banh mi" spot in OC! My two favorites are the #1 and #2. They have a buy-3-get-one-free deal on the sandwiches. Worth every penny. The sandwich size is big as well. The service is fast so snap snap! There are two tables outside but it's always occupied. I highly recommend this bakery.

Visited yesterday 50 minutes before closing and they were already preparing to clean up and put foods away that were sitting out. The owner who took my order was very nice. I saw her pack the leftover curry they had on the hot tray for the employee who was working in the back which was nice they weren't greedy.They had a buy 3 get 1 free special on their pate chaud and their sandwiches that aren't on special. By the time I got there the pate chauds were sold out. I ordered 2 dac biet specials, 1 grilled pork, and 1 char siu pork. My husband tried the grilled pork the next day and said it was a bit dry and his bread was falling apart but gave benefit of doubt because he didn't eat it fresh. I ate the dac biet special the same day ordered but a few hours later and was surprised it had a thin fried egg inside it. It was heavily filled with butter and lots of pate which tasted homemade and the sandwich was delicious! The bread was falling apart for me too though. Overall delicious!

Food was great. Fresh and hot. The young lady taking the order was really nice. The store had a cute vibe. Shaded outside seating.

16$ for 3 pieces of catfish, veggies and white rice. Service was crazy rude too. She leaves my rice plate on the side to cut bananas and then doesn't answer me how much the food is with 3 fish.Ridiculous!!

This place sucks ass customer service. I had to waiting for like 30 minutes to get my order. And the people that came after me got their order before me. It wasn't even busy but they kept forgetting my order. I guess you have to be rude to get your order. Never coming back to this place ever. Du ma

The sandwiches here are pretty good for a local spot. The prices are great especially if you buy 3, you'll get 1 free. They also have hot foods sold on the side too.

Typical Vietnamese sandwich shop so don't expect great service but do expect great food. Buy 3 get 1 free sandwiches so cost comes out to be $4.50 each which is a deal nowadays. Parking is easy but don't get confuse by the store next door as there are two places that sell to go food. Try to come before lunch as there are two wait for Sandwiches can be long.
