Saigon Sandwich Café isn't much of a café by its looks, but they make some really delicious-tasting sandwiches. The place is a hole in the wall, with a little counter space by the window that barely seats two people. Customers can't really sit at the small tables if there are people queuing up for their order. Basically, it's a take-out place, and people are sometimes lined up out the door doing a brisk business.
The sandwiches I like are BBQ chicken, BBQ pork and tofu. They also offer meatball pork, pâté, on a fresh, warmed-up French roll, and a slew of Vietnamese food items. If you don't care for raw onion, cilantro, hot peppers, shredded carrots, or pâté, let them know to leave it off.
The place gets crowded easily because it's very small and very popular. Their sandwiches taste great, and their prices are low, though their sandwiches have gotten smaller over the years.
