Sandwich Maker - Vietnamese restaurant in Los Gatos - 987 University Ave #38, USA

I had driven past this location hundreds of times before I discovered this phenomenal sandwich/Vietnamese shop. It’s tucked behind a bunch of offices and you’d never notice it in passing. They make excellent typical deli sandwiches, but first visit you must get the banh mí sandwich and/or the pho. The ingredients are fresh, the flavors are well developed, and I’m so glad to know this place exists! Always a line during lunch but well worth it.

The shop is a little hard to find tucked in with a bunch of offices but is really good. We had the Vietnamese grilled pork and shredded chicken sandwiches and they were both really tasty. I was also surprised at how big the portion was too. Seemed like each order was 2 sandwiches from other places. The flavor of the shredded chicken and grilled pork were great! The pickled carrots were perfect too. Didn't take very long for them take prepare the order. It is also nice that you can see the people preparing the orders right behind the counter and the person at the register was super nice. The dining area is limited. There are 3 or 4 small tables inside and a few tables outside. The food and service is great so still a great place for takeout.

This spot was so kind enough to serve minutes after they were already closed. The food was good and the people were super friendly. California sandwich: bacon, turkey, mayo, mustard, tomato and spinach 😋

So disappointed in this restaurant. They have new owners and sandwiches should be all they do because their Pho was downright disgusting. Had the worst taste to it and was horrible. Not sure how Pho could be so bad. Even the noodles were dried and not up to par. Staff was nice though no masks were worn like most other Asian restaurants. Plenty of parking. They cater to people who work in the area, not foodies. Looked like a to-go deli, not a Vietnamese restaurant.

The BEST chicken bánh mì I have ever had. I always order the shredded chicken bánh mì amd Thai iced tea (I bring my own milk and they are always so accommodating) amd it never disappoints. The chicken is cooked perfectly! The owners are the kindest people and remember all of their customers by name. Every time I am in the area, I must come in!

This is my perfect neighbourhood restaurant. The Chicken Pho is good. The broth was tasty. But I must say the grilled pork and the grilled chicken Banh Mis are just delicious. Probably one of the best I've had. The pickled carrots, and the slightly sweet mayo with shredded chicken was just great. This is the second time I've visited with my cousin. Will definitely visit again! Plenty parking. However seating is limited. But I would gladly wait in the line to have a meal here!

A neighborhood gem. Not only is the food great, but they are the nicest people and are so sweet with my kid. Prices are super reasonable. Our favs are the beef pho and the chicken bahn mi.

Tips: Cash only. There is an ATM machine in the shop if needed. Also, there is a couple round outdoor tables with benches. If you are not in a rush, grab food and take a seat. You may catch a glimpse of fire fighters training in their backyard 😆 (shop front is facing the back of the firehouse). My review is specifically for the breakfast burrito since this is the only thing I have ordered. For a $3.95 breakfast, it is on a smaller size. The burrito comes with a fry egg, your choice of bacon or ham and salsa. It took about 5 minutes to get my order so a quick place to grab and go if you are in the area.
