Huong Lan Sandwiches - San Jose

Cash only… as everyone says. Love their meat ball banh mi. And bunch If pre-made and fresh bento box is good for lunch and dinner! Each one is around $7

GOOD VIETNAMESE RICE CAKES FOUND I have been on the quest to find some GOOD Bánh Chưng and Bánh Tét. Got some bad ones in the past from pretty well known places on Story Road and inside Century Plaza—all rice and minimal stuffing (mung bean and/or meat). FINALLY I found them at this Huong Lan store. The best ones so far. Although the mung bean filling is not smooth enough and the meat is not seasoned at all, I am pretty happy for now with them at Huong Lan because they have good ratio of beans and meat vs the rice. So far so good.

Delicious Vietnamese sandwich. I go with the #1 always now. I experimented with a lot of other options at many different places and if you want a good consistent sandwich no matter where you go then get the #1 with Pâté. The #1 combo here has plenty of pate and a good amount of meat balanced with veggies. Not an overwhelming amount of either so you probably want a full sandwich for each person.

Best bread I've had for banh mi. Seems like less meat than before, probably due to inflation, but still a good deal.

The BBQ Pork sandwich and spring rolls were okay, the taste of the pork itself is not really my favorite, but overall still delicious.
