    The Lemongrass Tofu Banh Mi (sometimes with a fried egg added) at The Sandwich Maker is in my regular rotation and an all-time fave. This sandwich shop is a classic mom and pop office park deli, with a Vietnamese twist. They have all the classic traditional American sandwiches, chips, cookies, etc, plus Banh Mi with the usual protein options and vermicelli, rice bowls and random other specials. No frills. Just good quick lunch hour options made with personal care at a reasonable price. Find it in the back behind the office spaces. Great place.

    Nice family-owned lunch option! Lots of traditional sandwiches as well as excellent Vietnamese options. The pork bahn mi was great. Cold beef vermicelli bowl was also tasty and plentiful. Owner is customer focused offering good service. Few tables inside but lovely round tables with umbrellas outside. Best part is the excellent value for prices that won't break your budget!

    Delicious food, hidden gem. I've lived in LG for many years and never noticed this place because it's behind office buildings and can't be seen from any main road but word of mouth got me here and I love it.

    The BEST bread! Nice crispy crust, but soft inside and very fresh and warm. I did the grilled pork banh mi and Vietnamese iced coffee combo for $13.95, an amazing deal honestly. (Other options for the banh mi + drink deal are chicken or beef) Grilled pork was perfectly grilled with nice lemongrass and other spices flavor. Sandwich came with light pickled veggies, a few sprigs of cilantro, and a just a touch of Vietnamese butter. Most other places overdo the veggies and give you a few measly slices of meat--the reverse was the case here. Everything made to order and took about ~5-7 minutes to prepare, so you got your food at peak deliciousness. Interior is giving family owned business. Hum of refrigerators, music playing softly, staff speaking in native Viet, and random aquarium wallpaper haha. The business owners keep the shop immaculately clean--no sticky countertops here! They take credit card, Apple pay and cash. There are 5 small tables with 2-4 chairs each, not ideal for big groups. Seems like most people grab and go for banh mi and spring rolls and a handful dine in for their lunch break. I'll have to come back for their other dishes next time!
