Saigon Alley Kitchen & Bar $

★ 4.3 · Vietnamese · 1801 L St, Ste 50, Sacramento, CA 95811

Giò Chả Đức Hương (Duc Huong Sandwiches) $

★ 4.5 · Vietnamese · 6825 Stockton Blvd, Ste 200, Sacramento, CA 95823

Widely considered Sacramento's best banh mi — crackly baguettes baked in-house, stuffed with grilled pork or a genuinely great vegan version. Around six bucks and worth the Stockton Blvd trip.
