Paris Sandwiches

The bread shines here. Very crunchy outside and soft. House special banh mi is a bit different with soy sauce.

This place reminds me of OC where all the retired uncles gather outside drinking coffee and eating. It’s located opposite of Vinh Hung in the corner. They have a second location in Point Loma. We ordered take out and each banh mi was carefully wrapped and labeled with a sticker. Jambon ($7.45) - lots of meat (basically ham), one type of meat not like the “house special” where it came with variety of meat Crispy pork belly ($10.50) - crispy pork, it had a sweet and sour sauce that was tangy House Special ($7.95) - this was one hefty sandwich. It was heavy! Tons of meat, different variety of meat. A bit bland that we added more soy sauce. Chicken pie/Pate so ($1.40) - tiny square pastry. Flaky exterior and flavorful chicken filling. The bread could be better. It was a bit hard and sharp that it cut into my mouth. They sell desserts (Che) in the fridge. Pre made food on the counter like banh beo, spring roll, etc. 11 drink options on the menu and 16 bánh mì options. Overall, generous meat filling and the bread could be softer. But I’m biased towards French bread not baguette for my bánh mì.

Paris Sandwiches is a humble takeout eatery in Mira Mesa. This local gem specializes in banh mi, and it is one of my favorite places to grab a Grilled Chicken Banh Mi! THE FOOD The baguette is the star. The thin bread combines pillowy softness inside with a crisp, flaky outer shell. The moist grilled chicken is complemented by sweet/sour pickled vegetables, a kick of heat from sliced jalapeños, and creamy mayo. At $7.05, the value is high. SERVICE The service is pleasant and no-nonsense. The order taker demonstrated excellent throughput efficiency, managing the queue and getting customers processed and fed rapidly. OVERALL A local favorite for grabbing a high-quality, budget-friendly banh mi for lunch or a snack.

Truly superior banh mi. The sandwich is fairly large for a solid price - I can usually eat it in 2 servings. The bread itself is perfectly baked that it doesn’t tear apart the roof of your mouth but still has that nice crunch to it. Meat to pate to pickles ratio is perfect. There’s also plenty of deli snacks that you can get as well.

Yum! I have no experience with banh mi sandwiches, but it sounded good today. I got the grilled chicken with extra veggies, and a coconut smoothie. Both items exceeded my expectations. I ordered online and it was ready when I got there. Will be a repeat customer! When I was leaving, a line out the door formed behind me! Popular spot.
