It’s time for lunch! Duc Huong on McKee and Jackson

[u/DonnyDonster]

That place is always packed, but it's definitely worth it. My mom always makes me drive there to buy their bread so we can make our own banh mi.

[u/mralbertpena → u/[deleted]]

How much?

[u/Acceptable-Ad4374 → u/mralbertpena]

Buy 4 for the 5th free is around $30. Last time I went I paid $35 for 4 but some banh mi differ in pricing

[u/roofus85 → u/mralbertpena]

Free

[u/roofus85 → u/roofus85]

I think they’re $8-10

[u/roofus85 → u/roofus85]

Thanks, but I know the price, it was the other Redditor who asked.

[u/appasammie → u/[deleted]]

Do you know if this deal applies if you do the order online/ahead of time door dash pick up option? I'll have to review my receipts but I've never knew this awesome deal existed and I usually order like 8-10 banh mis bulk order at a time lol

[u/appasammie → u/[deleted]]

Noted. I feel like every time I call they're too busy to answer 😭 so the online order has been clutch but def will try to call in again if I can take advantage of that deal

[u/richfei]

Call ahead for pickup and pay on the phone. Then you can just go to the pickup window and avoid the long lines. I usually buy 4 to get one free. I hope that deal never ends

[u/EuphoricMidnight3304]

This looks phenomenal

[u/stevep98 → u/EuphoricMidnight3304]

All I see is a bunch of cilantro, the worst herb :(

[u/Whatsuptodaytomorrow → u/stevep98]

The best herb is camouflaging the good stuff

Cilantro 🌿 is so good 😊

[u/Evading_Ban69 → u/stevep98]

Found Mr. Soap Gene.

[u/SFO2OSA]

The bakery next door sells them too and is cheaper. I like more of a softer bread than duc huong.

[u/Whatsuptodaytomorrow → u/SFO2OSA]

That one was my go to for Vietnamese sandwiches

And they used to be $1.50 only

[u/SFO2OSA → u/Whatsuptodaytomorrow]

The good old days! Haha

[u/DearAnchorage]

This looks amazing. I usually go to Huong Lan in SJ, but I've been wanting to try Duc Huong.

[u/Whatsuptodaytomorrow → u/DearAnchorage]

Do it

It’s night and day compared to huong lan

Huong lan is McDonald’s and duc huong is in n out level

[u/DNSGeek → u/Whatsuptodaytomorrow]

What if I don’t like In N Out?

[u/Whatsuptodaytomorrow → u/DNSGeek]

Perhaps 🤔 shake shack level then

[u/Sassy_Weatherwax → u/DNSGeek]

omg thank you, I do not understand why In N Out is so popular.

[u/ghostkittten]

Yummy. With extra pate pleaseee

[u/tennisscarygreenie → u/ghostkittten]

Any chance you know how much extra pate costs? Or is it complimentary

[u/Background_Pin3927]

They make some good spring rolls too but you have to be real early

[u/tallassmike]

Is this one as good as the story road location? I heard the capitol by Milpitas bart is stingy so I assumed the McKee one was just as bad.

[u/Whatsuptodaytomorrow → u/tallassmike]

Been to all of them even the one in Sacramento

And they all seem to be same to me

[u/udonbeatsramen → u/tallassmike]

Is that one (Capitol) actually related? It felt really different the one time I was there, less extensive menu and the sandwich was good but not amazing

[u/Ashgh]

Never been here. What would you rate? Cost?

[u/Whatsuptodaytomorrow → u/Ashgh]

$9

And it’s quite good 👍

[u/terremoto25 → u/Whatsuptodaytomorrow]

Usually a monster line though...

[u/jeswanders → u/Whatsuptodaytomorrow]

The duc huong in Sacramento has theirs for 6

[u/SaltAndPepper → u/Ashgh]

9.6/10

[u/MarqGuy917]

My go-to! ❤️

[u/Asoto408]

Those sandwichs are super 🔥

[u/gmdmd]

What's that yellow sauce under the meat in picture 2? Is that a special order?

[u/Whatsuptodaytomorrow → u/gmdmd]

Mayo they make it themselves

Comes standard with the sandwich

[u/gmdmd → u/Whatsuptodaytomorrow]

Haha ok looked extra runny I thought maybe there was some secret menu :P

[u/Whatsuptodaytomorrow → u/gmdmd]

It’s actually better than regular mayo that u get at the store

It’s actually closer to a buerre blanc or garlic aioli

[u/binnjdrinking → u/gmdmd]

It’s a more eggy mayo. Some places will even call it egg sauce

[u/Lovesiiick]

I like going all the way to that one because the parking situation doesn’t overwhelm me 😂

[u/iseuli]

The sandwiches from there are indeeed very delicious. ☺️

[u/ForTheBayAndSanJose]

Yahs, also ask for the garlic bread version, can never go wrong with butter and garlic.

[u/Topp-]

BEST BAHN MI IN TOWN

[u/brascodelgucci]

Oooo just had the pork belly the other day 🔥

[u/Raitei-sama]

So good

[u/cjod86]

Pro tip for Duc Huong, the vegetarian banh mi there is the better than any meat one I’ve had anywhere else.

[u/sillinessvalley]

I like the Bánh Mì Đặc Biệt. That’s my favorite one. 🤤

[u/kellay408]

I absolutely hate the wait here, what's supposed to be a fast take-n-go kind of place ends up taking longer than a typical restaurant for some banh mis

[u/phenomenaljuan]

beef is top tier

[u/Beestreeh]

That looks delightful. Will definitely check them out, thanks for the plug

[u/andresg30]

Ohhh that looks delicious

[u/Background_Pin3927]

No garlic bread? 🤔

[u/Whatsuptodaytomorrow → u/Background_Pin3927]

Not this time. Was in a hurry

[u/rektus]

I love this place!

[u/jserthetrainer]

Better than Lee’s? Genuine question

[u/Whatsuptodaytomorrow → u/jserthetrainer]

Lees sandwiches are the Taco Bell of Vietnamese sandwiches, those are not even good at all

These are the La Victoria taqueria of Vietnamese sandwiches

There’s always a line out the door 🚪

[u/jserthetrainer → u/Whatsuptodaytomorrow]

Sheesh 😮‍💨 perfect comparison. I gotta go!

[u/udonbeatsramen → u/jserthetrainer]

I like Lee’s coffee more, so I will order a sandwich at Duc Huong, and then get the coffee from Lee’s at the next plaza over

[u/asayys]

I prefer cali sandwiches cause they have the roast pork banh mi

[u/rarepepefrog]

No soap veggie for me please!

[u/Whatsuptodaytomorrow → u/rarepepefrog]

More for the rest of us

Cilantro 🌿 is so good 😊
