Duc Huong Sandwiches

Check your sandwiches before you leave. Two of our 5 did not use garlic bread even though we paid for it. Food was good though. Wait was long. Glad to have tried it. Not sure would wait in such a long line again.

It was challenging to find this place since I was arriving via ʙɪʀᴅ scooter rental! If you’re not from San Jose or familiar with the area then simply look for a gathering of people standing outside this business establishment. That’s how you will know you are there because I rode past this spot several times before realizing it was the busy spot.. lol Đức Hương truly did not disappoint as they fully understood the assignment when it comes to this Vietnamese staple. I ordered their #1 Bánh Mì Thịt Nướng, #2 Bánh Mì Đặc Biệt with the latter being reserved for tomorrow’s lunch. And so I naturally ate the aforementioned #1 and it pure magic!! They really know how to make their baguette as it was a perfect combination of thin, crisp crust with a soft, airy texture. Which really complimented their absolutely fresh ingredients and savory flavors.. I was very impressed as it’s been years since I’ve enjoyed a high quality Bánh Mì Thịt Nướng!!! I also tried their refreshing coconut dessert: Thạch Dừa which is a Vietnamese coconut jelly and it was delicious! This establishment is a MUST SEE & TRY especially if you’re passing through San Jose.. ~An

Surprisingly very very delicious. Crispy and firm texture baguette, cucumber, white and red carrots, jalapeño, special sauce (??), grilled pork which is sweet and charcoal flavored. Spicy, sweet, savory, fresh, balanced as a harmony.

Large grilled pork w/ egg banh mi #7 and ice coffee. Good fill after lifting heavy. Place is packed at all hours.

One of my top Vietnamese sandwich shop. I think this was the first duc huong sandwich shop in San Jose. They originally had just a cha pork meatloaf place on king road but they didn’t make sandwich there. I would say the sandwich were a lot larger and cheaper when they first open up. Now they are a bit more expensive and slightly shorter. They do put a lot of meat and vegetables in it. Sandwich wise, it either this place or the Bánh mi oven across the street for me.

Not bad
