Been coming here for years! I always add an egg to my sandwiches! Mmm 😋 Their bo luc lac is good too!

I really liked Cali sandwich shop. I got a banh mi and some eggrolls, which were really good! My friend is vegetarian and they gave great options for veg food. It's pretty inexpensive and is definitely worth checking out.

Quick, tasty, cheap authentic Viet comfort food. My favorites here include bun rieu, com tam bi thit nuong, and banh mi. Service is quick, polite. The young owner is welcoming and knows how to delegate staff. Can get very busy during lunch time but service is quick and table availablility is ever-revolving.

Used to go EVERY DAY before I moved to Katy, literally every day and would even show up on sundays forgetting they were closed. Absolute best Vietnamese food I’ve ever eaten (and I am obsessed with trying new Vietnamese places, trust me, this place is the best). Try #73 and you’ll never regret it, it’s salted and toasted tofu, battered and fried tofu with onions and bell peppers. S O O O O O delicious and they have the BEST soy sauce. The tofu spring rolls are also to die for!

I think it could be cleaner and service could be more attentive but it has the best food. From chicken rice to pho to sandwiches. I haven’t ordered anything that I didn’t like. Definitely recommend their grill chicken rice.

This place here is a gem. The sticky rice with chicken and the phos are very delicious. Just please remember to get soy sauce which is homemade! There is something beautiful when people come together and support one another, that's what it's all about. I support this business because they've always treated me with respect and I've never had an issue here. Cheers.

Walk in here like you own the place. Tell the waiter you don't need a menu, you want the Singapore Noodles. It's not a menu item but they will make it for you. Unbelievablely delicious... Don't be afraid to ask for it extra spicy. Try it and see.
Greg Blackburn
Very tasty and all at great price!
Tyler Horn
Excellent vermicelli bowl and the best banh mi!
Jeffrey Wacaser
The food was good, I'll go back, but the place is messy, like a hoarder works there or at least has influence. Messy doesn't give much confidence in clean. But food was good.

A classic. My brothers and my cousins love this place. Thankful to have been introduced to it by family. The egg rolls and spring rolls of all sorts are supreme. The Bahn Mi of all sorts they serve are also outstanding. Glad to have been introduced this gem in Midtown-Houston. My relatives, siblings and myself love it

My girlfriends and I chose this place for lunch and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience. Food was delicious and the staff was welcoming and attentive.

Their Banh mi is so good. Always get 29 pho and 84 banhmi.
Bobby Burge
Andrew is awesome!!!! He recommended bbq pork sandwich and I've back ever since....I love cali sandwiches
Brian Lam
I came here for the banh mi and was very pleased. Definitely one of the best combination(dac biet) subs I've ever had. Nice warm crunch from the baguette and a near perfect meat to bun to veggie ratio. They did not skimp on the pate either. Very reasonably priced as well st just 3.99 each, tax included. Will definitely be returning for more.
Andrew Thomas
Nice hole in the wall sort of place! The title at the time was Cali Sandwich & Fast Food on Google which didn't really make any sense considering there was not fast food options and the menu said "Cali Sandwich & Pho" so I promptly suggested and edit 😂. The bowl if Pho I got was pretty darn delicious 😋. My wife got a $3 sandwich which she said was nice but at tab bit too crunchy for her taste. This place is not too shabby, tons of Asian cuisine options. Not high class by any means. The place was a tad bit dirty which dampened the atmosphere quite a bit. Definitely worth was we paid for.

Nothing less than amazing. Baytown used to have one and it closed years back. Finally found a Cali and it was even more amazing than I can remember!!
Ling Watson
Good fast Vietnamese food. The inside of the place is nicely decorated, an upgrade from a standard Vietnamese fast food restaurant. The beef pho is probably a solid 3 as the flavor of the broth is not quite deep as some of the others. The meat, slices type, is bit tough not sure if it is inherent of the meat or the way it is cooked. Rice plates are good. Very flavorful chicken pork or beef. Again be watchful of tougher cuts. The menu is not helpful as it does not list out what cut of the meat is used. So if you don’t eat certain cuts, such as tripe, tendon, pig hock, ask before you order. Happy eating.

My favorite place for Vietnamese food. I've been going for over 15 years now and the food is consistently delicious. Pho and Bahn mi are my go to's here but the rest of the menu is equally as flavorful. The mom that owns is one the sweetest people you'll ever meet!

Tofu spring rolls are the best I've tried
SJ Smith
Worth it. Everything was lovely. Good cheap food.
Danh PhanLe
This is our go to spot for Bánh Mì and arguably the best for it.
Jason S. Domel
The sesame chicken is a good dish! The chicken is good, and the sauce is delicious. It comes with rice and broccoli; it's a very good lunch plate!
Sunflower Girl
One of my best pho places, they have the best Vietnamese chicken sandwiches! I have gone to many places even fancy ones and nothing tops this one! PLUS it’s so cheap and so good! So if you are around midtown Houston come check it out!
Jorge Mendez
Great Vietnamese food in this location and at great value. My favorite is the Cornish hen which comes with rice and an egg. Make sure to pair it with a side of Vietnamese Coffee.
Dunks McGee
Excellent food, always packed house. Friendly waitstaff. Parking is limited, but worth it. Love the combination fried rice and the crispy eggrolls with lettuce wraps.
Alisa Nelson
Delicious banh mi and amazing egg rolls. I will definitely go out of my way to stop here the next time I'm in Houston!
Alan Morales
Been coming here last 20 yrs. Never disappointed. Everything fresh! Soups(Pho & Won Ton ) are delicious and comforting! The sandwiches are the best! The Owner boss lady super friendly and on the ball! Try this one, it wont disappoint!ðŸ‘ðŸ‘ðŸ‘ðŸ‘ðŸ‘
Concierge Fuller
Superb restaurant! Food is phenomenal for the price paid, service is attentive, & the ambiance is welcoming. Definitely dinning here again & recommend trying it out. I personally suggest trying the combination pho accompanied with the Chinese sausage & sticky rice.
Jennifer Choy
Pretty tasty, authentic, good service, and extensive menu. Pho Tai was yummy just wish it had a little more beef. Egg rolls were perfection. Won ton mein was good, too; our kids enjoyed it. We have yet to try the banh mi ordered to go

Great place to have a meal. I’m a regular customer!
Cynthia Russell
Had a wonderful lunch. I ended up ordering the #10 on menu with small wonton soup and then ordered a Mango smoothie to go. Smoothie was DELICIOUS. I'm giving four stars for now. I would like to sample more menu items and their smoothies before I give my final rating. Also, dining area was nice and clean and service was good. Until next time...
Leshawn Richards
First time having Bahn Mi and it was delicious. Their Thai tea and mangos they sell are also delicious!
Brooke Weissinger
Food is yummy. I've liked everything I've tried but my current obsession is #33 with fried rice. Yum!!
Brandon Hoang
Sandwiches are some of the better ones I've had even in camparison to chinatown. Amazing taste and experience.
Ann Cao
Service is meh, but food is very good and makes up for that. Love their banh mi and smoothies.
Nicholas Randall
Amazing food and quite fast too. Their best item imo is the beef special but it's hard to find a meal that's not top quality here. Nice minimalist decor which appeals to me. Oh and food is cheap as well, competitive or lower cost with the other Vietnamese restaurants in the area.
Jaime Castro
A midtown staple of excellent quality Vietnamese food. A favorite amongst Houston locals and restaraunteurs a like, this spot is on the must visit for Vietnamese inside the loop.Known in particular for their banh mi sandwiches!
Paul Phavorachit
Best place to eat vietnamese food and sandwiches, highly recommended. I'd just spent $145 for for 18 people not bad at all very reasonable price too
Jef Cashless
Without any hyperbole, Cali Sandwich has had the best Bo Luc Lac in Houston for years!
Josh Jacons
Best banh mi in town. They charge $0.50 for extra nuoc mom though lol. “This stuff is expensive.†Ya, right! Kinda silly
Annie Zuniga
Friends of mine took me to lunch here and I've loved it ever since! Never have to wait long for appetizers or entrees 💕 the food is always delicious and the place is awesomely clean!! I'd recommend their great food and service any day!
Thu Rolland

Alexander Rodriguez
